The IS-GEO Summer Institute will take place July 24-28, 2017 in the Texas Advanced Computer Center of Austin. The institute will consist on a series of introductory tutorials and follow up hands-on sessions. Each tutorial will provide an introductory overview to concepts in a particular research area, which will be applied to a concrete problem in the follow up hands-on session. Evenings will be devoted to brainstorming projects of interest to participants, and drafting papers based on the work done during the day.

A result of the initial workshop in March 2015 was a comprehensive report with findings from the workshop. In the subsequent months the report was presented at multiple meetings and venues as outreach to the community.
