In the conference, InaRIS Committee Chair Shigetada Nakanishi, Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University commented “The key point of this program is to support a researcher as an individual. The next generation researchers of high aspirations can devote themselves into their research with an affluent funding. I wish them to take on a giant leap as a researcher.” InaRIS Committee member Makoto Kobayashi, Honorary Professor Emeritus, High Energy Accelerator Research Organization explained the 2020 program field: “Quantum.”
