About Dr. Mohsen Far
Since 2013, as a co-founder and CEO, I have been leading a team of BIM experts at SIMBIM Solutions, a company that provides BIM software distribution, implementation, and training for the AECO industry in Spain and Portugal. In this role, I aim to empower the industry with the best solutions and services and foster innovation and collaboration among stakeholders. In my position, I have established partnerships with leading BIM software developers, including GRAPHISOFT, Bluebeam, dRofus, SCIA, and standard organisations such as buildingSMART, AENOR, British Standard Institutes, etc. I also have multiple certifications and recognitions as a chartered architect, senior BIM consultant, auditor, instructor, and provider. I also worked as an adjunct lecturer in various academic programs related to smart cities, real estate, and building information management at the University of Navarra and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. I am an executive board member and data protection officer at the European Real Estate Society (ERES), a research foundation in the Netherlands. I oversee the organisation's GDPR compliance and data management, which advocates for real estate research and education. I have been involved with ERES since 2015, serving on committees, as a vice chair and president of the PhD network, and co-authoring policy papers. As an independent researcher, I have expertise in two fields. One is preparing and implementing digital transformation plans and workflows for the building industry. The other is urban planning, land management, urban economy, regeneration, brownfields, and construction process management. I am affiliated with the Center of Land Policy and Valuation at the Polytechnic University of Catalunya and the European Real Estate Society.
