Outline of Final Research Achievements

The managing team had an objective to promote the four pre-planned areas of research under close interaction one another. We encouraged active exchange of information among the researchers involved in this Grant-in-aid program, and organized nine international conferences with more than 800 participants in total. We also build a homepage dedicated for the program and released information and achievements to both inside and outside of the country. We worked to foster younger generation researchers by involving graduate students and hiring posdocs with the Grant. We approved a total of 14 open research proposals in two times, with the proposed researchers spreading over many Japanese universities and research organizations.
