The week-long school will provide accessible courses on the state-of-the-art in diagrams research, covering three main themes: diagrammatic logics, philosophical and historical developments, and empirical research. Courses will be delivered by internationally renowned experts and will have an emphasis on interactivity. Details on the courses running, their scope and any required prerequisite knowledge can be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/winterschoolondiagrams2017/winter-school-program. The registration fee is Rs1000 for Indian participants, and Rs5000 (approximately $77USD, or ?66 euros) for overseas participants. *Aims* The School aims to enable delegates to begin research into diagrams by introducing them to current research and through thought-provoking exchanges and discussions. The experienced facilitators will tease out research questions that are appropriate for early-stage researchers to tackle, providing a starting point for a research career in the study of logical diagrams. Delegates will be encouraged to identify collaboration opportunities both with other delegates and the course facilitators. *Outcomes* It is expected that delegates who attend the winter school will become equipped to identify research questions in the diagrams field and be knowledgeable of current research endeavours. The School will also provide opportunities for participants to present their own work and engage in one-on-one discussion sessions with the expert facilitators to identify suitable research contributions that match their skills and interests. *Venue* The 2nd Indian Winter School on Diagrams is hosted by the School of Cognitive Science at Jadavpur University, located in Kolkata. Kolkata is a vibrant city, located on the Hooghly river which is a large distributary of the famous Ganges river. The state capital of West Bengal, Kolkata is home to over 14 million people. It is one of the most affluent cities in south Asia, measured by GDP.
