Abstract

Last year we held the ISS2018 at Tsukuba and welcomed nearly 450 participants from 21 global regions. As a representative of the superconducting R&D; community, ISS2019 will pay a lot attention to “Outreach of superconducting technologies”, the session we initiated at the last ISS2018. I hope this attempt will provide a good opportunity for the participants to think of possible impact and implementation of superconducting technologies outside the community. This year also, I will enhance the relation with “Superconductivity School”, to cultivate young human resources.
