Driving Social Innovation with Superconducting Technology
To accelerate the widespread adoption of superconducting technology in society, it is essential to foster open innovation through the participation of a broad range of stakeholders—including industries, universities, and public research institutes—across both upstream and downstream sectors. This collaboration should span from materials development and cryogenic technologies to applied system design. Furthermore, developing the next generation of human resources who will lead these advancements is critical to sustaining innovation and growth.
* This consortium is designed for companies and academic institutions based in Japan.
Innovation Promotion
AISupercoN Seminar
We invite distinguished lecturers specializing in diverse technologies related to applied superconductivity—including the physics and chemistry of superconductivity, materials science, electronic devices, and large-scale applications—and aim to foster innovation by exploring these fields under the theme “Now and Future.”
Human Resource Development
Superconductivity School
This program is designed for graduate students from domestic universities and young engineers from AISupercoN member companies and organizations. It offers the opportunity to learn a wide range of topics, from the fundamentals to the practical applications of superconductivity. The lectures are conducted in Japanese and delivered by leading researchers and engineers from Japan.
