The Horonobe International Project (HIP) was started in 2023 with the participation of 11 organisations from 8 countries/regions. The HIP offers the Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory (URL) as a platform for international collaboration. The main objectives of the HIP are to develop and demonstrate advanced technologies to be used in repository design, operation and closure and a realistic safety assessment in deep geological disposal, and to encourage and train the next generation of engineers and researchers. In this session, JAEA will present the objectives of the HIP and the plans and current status of each task as an operating agent. Then, Japanese participating organizations, NUMO, CRIEPI, and RWMC, will present their opinions to the HIP, then comprehensive discussion will be held on expectations for the HIP in the future.
