A project aimed at promoting the quality of Japan's high-tech research by promoting joint research with overseas countries and developing human resources for young researchers was adopted by the government. The activity was based on three extreme technologies: strong magnetic field, large current, and ultra-high pressure, with the aim of reducing the AC loss of superconducting materials. Three young researchers supported by four Japanese research institutes were dispatched for about a year to collaborate with five European research institutes. The dispatched researchers collaborated with local researchers, planned new collaborations, and presented the results at the international conferences worldwide. The researchers’ action ranges were well broadened, and six international co-authored papers and six international conference presentations were accumulated. As a result, the project was very effective in fostering human resources for researchers and improving the level of research fields.
