Since many years, various fruitful collaborations and interactions exist between the Japanese high-magnetic-field community and EMFL. In an effort to consolidate formally these common interests, the High Magnetic Field Collaboratory and EMFL signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The High Magnetic Field Collaboratory is a collaborative research organization consisting of the International MegaGauss Science Laboratory at the Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP), University of Tokyo, the Center for Advanced High Magnetic Field Science, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University, and the High Field Laboratory for Superconducting Materials, Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University. With the MoU, the partners strive to encourage visits of their staff members from one institution to the other, strengthen their cooperation, exchange scientific information, and promote the use of the partner facilities in their respective scientific communities.

In this context, we would like to point out to our user community that in the frame of the High Magnetic Field Collaboratory it is possible to carry out experiments at extremely high magnetic fields, beyond 200 T. To reach such extreme magnetic fields comes with the drawback of being fully destructive, but can lead to very valuable scientific knowledge. For now, ISSP is the only place worldwide that offers such fields together with sophisticated experimental infrastructure.
