    The Third National BIM Academic Conference, hosted by BIM Specialty Committee of China Graphic Society, organized by Shanghai Construction Group, was held in Crowne Plaza Shanghai Pujiang from November 4th to 5th, 2017. Nearly 600 people including students and teachers in multiple national provinces and cities, as well as leaders, chief engineers, and BIM technicians from construction companies attended the conference. The thesis "Research and Application on Water Level Dynamic model Based on IFC and monitoring data" submitted by our group won the outstanding thesis award. As the secretary-general of the BIM Special Committee, I hosted the keynote section and later in the evening, I gave a report on "2017 Annual Work Report" to every member in the Fourth BIM Specialty Committee Annual Meeting.

    The First Phase Acceptance Check Meeting and the Second Phase Launching Meeting of "BIM Joint Research Centre of Tsinghua University (School of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering) and Glodon Software Company Limited" were held in Glodon Phase II Building on September 13th, 2017. The directors and undertakers of the project respectively reported the research achievements of 13 scientific research projects (including 5 fundamental research projects, 7 system development projects, and 1 industrialization project) in the last three years. The research team reported three research achievements on "BIM-based Facility Management system during Operation and Maintenance", "BIM-Based Analysis and Management System for Safety Performance of Time-Varying Structures" and "Research and Development on Knowledge Engine for BIM". Based on the discussion and cooperation on the first cooperative mode and contents, the second phased works of BIM Joint Research Centre were agreed to start. More than 30 people including Zhizhong Diao, Zhenggang Yuan, Jianfeng Guo, Gang Liu, the board chairman, president, vice-president and dean of Glodon Software Co., Ltd. respectively, and Jianping Zhang, Dongping Fang, Zhiliang Ma, Hongling Guo, and Nan Li, professor and associate professor from Tsinghua University and other project principals attended the meeting.
