[Overview]
 We aim to promote advanced education by inviting prominent researchers from abroad in short-term(about 3 weeks); an opportunity of international joint research is provided, and we let graduate students or young researchers take part in. To be concrete, graduate students or young researchers are to be assigned the papers of the invited researcher previously, and report the foreign literature research face to face with him.
