ULTIMATE-Subaru is a next large instrumentation program at Subaru, to develop a wide-field (20-arcmin in diameter) ground-layer adaptive optics (GLAO) system and a wide-field NIR imager (WFI) on Subaru, to strengthen the capability of Subaru Telescope in NIR. ULTIMATE will deliver an improved image quality of FWHM~0.2-arcsec (at K-band) in moderate conditions of Maunakea over the full 20-arcmin FoV. While HSC/PFS are the leading instruments for dark nights, ULTIMATE will be a primary facility instrument for bright nights of Subaru in late 2020s and beyond. In this series of seminar talks, we will introduce science cases of ULTIMATE for (1) galaxy and structure formation, (2) time domain astronomy, (3) Galactic Center observations - for all of which the new capabilities of deep, sharp, wide-field IR observations are critical. Taking this opportunity, we will also introduce the "SUPER-IRNET" program, to promote everyone in the community in Taiwan to join this activity.
