We report the superconductivity with the onset temperature as high as 8 K in the organic conductor of β-(BEDT-TTF) 2 I 3 , bis-ethylenedithio otetrathiofulvalene-triiodide. The increased superconducting transition temperature was achieved by an application of a soft pressure, i.e. 1.3 kb. High value of the upper critical field, H c2 was observed. ( H c2 >13 kOe at 1.5 K along the c * -axis.)
