We are proud to share our 2025 Annual Report, a retrospective look at all that we accomplished together.
note: For the best viewing experience of our 2-page spread, please open in a PDF viewer like Adobe Acrobat.
The impact stories cover our open source activities in the Jupyter and Scientific Python ecosystems, and applied research and training in cultural analytics, sociology, and the criminal justice system. Each of our initiatives is designed in collaboration with domain experts across campus and our global open source communities, and core team members — data scientists and software engineers — at BIDS.
These stories celebrate our collaborators, alumni, and supporters, and the impact BIDS has on campus and around the globe.
We are particularly proud to celebrate the launch of the AI Futures Lab, a partnership between BIDS and UC Investments. Housed one block from the UC Berkeley campus, it’s a space — physical, digital, and computational — designed to spark collaboration, drive innovation, and shape the future.
We hope this report inspires your continued and expanded partnership with BIDS. You are invited to connect with the BIDS community through year-round events at our AI Futures Lab space, at the new Gateway building starting in the fall, and online.
