Partner Spotlight: OREL Welcomes 2025 Google Summer of Code Scholars
Welcoming the Next Wave of Open-Source Talent with OREL
JOPRO is excited to share news from our partners at the Orthogonal Research and Education Laboratory (OREL). OREL has announced its 2025 cohort of Google Summer of Code (GSoC) Contributors, who will be contributing to open-source projects that advance collaborative research and innovation.
Each year, the GSoC program connects early-career technologists with mentor organizations to gain real-world experience in open-source development. OREL’s participation reflects its commitment to building accessible, community-driven research tools and fostering the next generation of scholars.
As a partner organization, JOPRO celebrates OREL’s dedication to mentorship, open science, and innovation—values that resonate deeply with our own mission as both a research and vocation incubator.
We look forward to following the work of this year’s scholars as they bring forward new ideas and strengthen the ecosystem of open, collaborative research.
