ProSocrates’17 symposium was held at the Hansewissenschaftkolleg (HWK) of Advanced Studies in Delmenhorst, 20-21 July 2017. This was the second edition of this symposium which tries to bring together researchers interested in spatial reasoning, problem solving and creativity. These ProSocrates’17 proceedings contains 6 accepted papers that were presented at the symposium. Each submitted paper was reviewed by two/three program committee members. Moreover, there were 6 invited talks whose abstracts are also included in these proceedings. Acknowledgements The funding from the Hansewissenschaftkolleg (HWK) of Advanced Studies2 is grate- fully acknowledged. The support from the projects Cognitive Qualitative Descriptions and Applications3 (CogQDA) funded by the University of Bremen and Creative Problem Solving in Cognitive Systems4 (CreaCogs) funded by DFG are acknowledged. The collaboration from our colleagues at Bremen Spatial Cognition Centre (BSCC) is also acknowledged. We would like also to thank the members of the Scientific Committee for their valuable work during the reviewing process and the additional reviews. We also thank Easychair, which was used to manage paper submissions and reviewing the proceedings, and CEUR Workshop Proceedings (CEUR-WS.org) for indexing these proceedings.
