The Symposium is hosted by ISRM, CSRME and CAS, co-undertaken by SKLGME (IRSM), Xi'an University of Technology, Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Processing of Materials，Ministry of Education (Northeastern University).

The Symposium focuses on the in site investigation, modeling and construction for rock engineering, discusses several aspects' frontier research subjects. The academic conference has honorary guest reports, invited lectures and several grouping technique reports. In addition, the symposium also invites Dr. Nick Barton and Professor John Cosgrove to have a one-day short course for the representatives. This academic conference promotes the theory development of global in site investigation, modeling and construction for rock engineering, has important significance for theory and technology development of rock engineering analysis, design and operation management.
