Our mission is to make research and education more impactful, accessible, and delightful by developing, operating, and supporting infrastructure for interactive computing.
Designing JupyterHub distributions that run on cloud infrastructure, are tailored for research and education, and respect a community’s Right to Replicate their infrastructure. See our cloud service for more information.
Managing a federation of JupyterHubs that serves communities of practice in research and education, so that they can focus on their work without needing skills in DevOps. See our cloud service for more information.
Developing open source infrastructure that is tailored for use-cases in research and education, so that our ecosystem of tools continues to improve. See our projects for more information.
Supporting open source communities that underlie infrastructure in this space, so that these communities may thrive and have positive impact on the world. See our values for more information.
2i2c is an open, transparent, and participatory organization. To learn more about 2i2c, check our Team Compass. To learn the details about our infrastructure, see the 2i2c infrastructure guide.

2i2c stands for The International Interactive Computing Collaboration. 2i2c is made up of individuals from around the world who are dedicated to this mission. We are a fiscally-sponsored project of Code for Science and Society, a US 501(c)(3) public charity.
Our Open Engineering Team is responsible for developing, operating, and supporting cloud infrastructure and open source tools for communities in research and education.
Our Steering Council provides strategic support and guides 2i2c in order to best-accomplish its mission.
Fiscal sponsorship for 2i2c is provided by Code for Science and Society, which provides strategic and administrative support for 2i2c.
We are defined and driven by our mission, and believe that values are crucial to accomplishing our goals in a way that is equitable and accessible to all.
Here are some of the core values underlying 2i2c:
We serve these values through a commitment to a few core principles:
These principles help us guarantee our users the Right to Replicate the infrastructure we manage for them without having to rely on us.
In order to sustain itself and grow to better-accomplish its mission, 2i2c receives funding from the following sources:
2i2c receives resources from the following sources:
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative awarded 2i2c $1.4m over 3 years for capacity building in the Jupyter ecosystem for research and education.
2i2c receives support from the Climate Data Lab at Columbia University (~$500,000 over 2 years), for managing and developing cloud infrastructure for the Pangeo Project.
Invest in Open Infrastructure along with Joint Roadmap for Open Science Tools awarded 2i2c a $5,000 grant to fund JupyterHub cloud infrastructure for projects that did not have their own cloud funding.
2i2c is a transparent and inclusive organization. We welcome participation and collaboration from others.
