user: Explain how 'Feasibility assessment on sustainable bulk products, made from coconut fibers' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

In the worldwide transport sector, there is a huge demand for (mainly wooden) pallets. Although these pallets meet their functional requirements, they have an enormous effect on the environment, by leading to deforestation, extra transport costs for wood import, and energy and chemical usage in certification. The goal of the CCP project is to use a resource that is currently considered waste, as the basis for a sustainable, organic pallet, thereby also contributing to a circular economy. The resource is husk from coconuts, hence the project name: CoCoPallet. With a worldwide production of over 62 billion coconuts, there is more than enough material available. In cooperation with the Wageningen University and Research Centre, an innovative and revolutionary production process where both a fiber and resin (lignin) are sourced from the same material (the husk) has been found, to produce the pallets, by pressing the material into 2D and 3D shapes. By using the waste of the coconuts, a health risk is also minimized, as the current coconut husk waste ends up in the sea or on landfills. In the latter, it is a hotbed for malaria mosquitos and thus a large regional biohazard.Specific objectives in this CoCoPallet H2020-SMEINST Phase 1 study proposal are:- Explore at least 5 (up to 10) promising business cases and value chains for a variety of applications for pressed coconut fiber material, including transport pallets.- Evaluate the required specifications and characteristics of these applications with potential customers.- Elaborate on a detailed business plan.By sourcing locally, transport costs for the material are also reduced dramatically. The company already has contact with local suppliers and organizations, as a first step to get to know the market better and scale up it

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Dorsal Horn Interneurons in Sensory Processing' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Chronic pain syndromes are to a large extent due to maladaptive plastic changes in the CNS. A CNS area particularly relevant for such changes is the spinal dorsal horn, where inputs from nociceptive and non-nociceptive fibers undergo their first synaptic integration. This area harbors a sophisticated network of interneurons, which function as a gate-control unit for incoming sensory signals. Several different types of interneurons can be distinguished based e.g. on their neurotransmitter and neuropeptide content. Despite more than 40 years of research, our knowledge about the integration of these neurons in dorsal horn circuits and their contribution to sensory processing is still very limited. This proposal aims at a comprehensive characterization of the dorsal horn neuronal network under normal conditions and in chronic pain states with a focus on inhibitory interneurons. A genome-wide analysis of the gene expression profile shall be made from defined dorsal horn interneurons genetically tagged with fluorescent markers and isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting. A functional characterization of the connectivity of these neurons in spinal cord slices and of their role in in vivo sensory processing shall be achieved with optogenetic tools (channelrhodopsin-2), which permit activation of these neurons with light. Finally, behavioral analyses shall be made in mice after diphteria toxin-mediated ablation of defined interneuron types. All three approaches shall be applied to naïve mice and to mice with inflammatory or neuropathic pain. The results from these studies will improve our understanding of the malfunctioning of sensory processing in chronic pain states and will provide the basis for novel approaches to the prevention or reversal of chronic pain states.

user: Describe how 'A holistic approach to improve the photosynthetic performance and productivity of C3 crops under diverse environmental conditions' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The PhotoBoost project addresses the widening gap between agricultural productivity and the global market demand for food/feed and bioenergy crops in an environmentally friendly manner by increasing the efficiency of photosynthetic CO2 fixation. This will be achieved by developing enhanced C3 crops that combine two or more of the following approaches: a) the optimisation of light reactions; b) the integration of an algal CCM; c) the introduction of an engineered photorespiratory bypass mechanism, improved by the knockout of the native plastid glycolate-glycerate transporter; and d) the optimisation of source-sink capacity, improved by the knockout of phloem-mobile tuberisation signal SP6A, thus enhancing the resilience of heat-sensitive cultivars to climate change. The consortium members have increased photosynthetic efficiency by up to 15% using individual approaches, but the stacking of multiple approaches in the same plant has never been attempted before. We will also explore e) the adaptation of stomatal conductance to improve the water-use efficiency, and f) the integration of an O2 scavenging mechanism as a novel strategy to boost photosynthesis. Experience from past and/or ongoing EU and B&MGF projects clearly indicates that although the individual approaches can be effective, they are insufficient to achieve the ambitious objectives of the current call. Therefore, the PhotoBoost project will generate optimised lines representing two major food crops (potato and rice) by simultaneously targeting multiple constraints limiting photosynthetic efficiency. We aim to increase photosynthetic efficiency under diverse environmental conditions by at least 20–25% in terms of photosynthesis rates and by at least 25–30% in terms of biomass yield. Our published results demonst

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'AgrifoodTECH: Seeding a brighter future for EU key sectors.' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The EU is the world's largest food producer, but climate change, loss of biodiversity and scarcity of resources, among others, put food security at risk. It is necessary to boost and promote technologies in the agri-food sector that lead to a more sustainable production model adapted to climate change and thus reduce dependence on imports in an unstable geopolitical scenario. The AgrifoodTECH program, led by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT), is designed to equip 16 postdoctoral researchers with the skills necessary to lead advancements in the agri-food technology sector, central to the Agriculture 4.0 revolution. This interdisciplinary training program encompasses 10 crucial knowledge areas addressing future agricultural challenges and integrates international and intersectoral experiences through collaborations with 14 associated entities for secondments.  UPCT is a member of the European University of Technology (EUt+) and has been recognised by the EC HRS4R distinction for its positive and stimulating environment for researchers. UPCT is located in the Region of Murcia (Spain), where the agri-food sector is considered strategic and its digital transformation a priority in its RIS4Mur. AgrifoodTECH is poised to establish a pioneering postdoctoral program recognized internationally for its research excellence. This initiative aims to position both the University and the Region of Murcia at the forefront of agricultural innovation in the 21st century. Furthermore, it seeks to lay the groundwork for founding the first European Research Institute (ERI) dedicated to agri-food technology, spearheaded by UPCT. This endeavor will be bolstered by the contributions of postdocs trained under the AgrifoodTECH banner, ensuring a strong foundation for groundbreaking r

user: Explain how 'Using Land Cover Change Models to Address Important Conservation Issues' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Anthropogenic land use/land cover change (LULCC) is now one of the major causes of biodiversity loss and the second largest source of carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Policy-makers face a challenging task when making decisions that impact the future of the landscapes with great levels of uncertainty about its outcome. Spatially-explicit LULCC models can be important tools to help assessing the outcome of such decisions a piori. However, modelling anthropogenic processes is a great challenge. Not only is the physical environment itself highly variable, but the underlying processes that drive LULCC combine socio-economic, cultural, political and environmental factors. Although enormous advances have been made in the field of LULCC modelling over the past couple of decades, there is room for improvement as these models still lack the ability to project both the rate and location of future change accurately. Improving these models would dramatically increase their potential to help solving real-world problems. Therefore, this research proposal will improve an existing LCCM to be able to incorporate region- and land-use transition specific parameters, representing observed relationships between proximate causes and drivers of LULCC, which vary over time and space. By the means of two real-world case studies, on different biomes (Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem and the Brazilian Atlantic Forest), this project will show how a LULCC model can be used to tackle two important worldwide conservation issues: the conflict between infrastructure development and conservation (Serengeti) and the impacts of implementing financial incentives to promote forest restoration (Atlantic Forest). Ultimately, this research proposal will provide a framework for robust decision-making under uncertaint

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Hydrogen bond-assembled molecular shuttles' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content The objective is the preparation of hydrogen bond-assembled molecular shuttles (peptide rotaxanes) that can alter their properties (e.g., luminescence) in response to an external stimulus (light, electrons or environment polarity). There are 3 stages each involving the synthesis and characterisation of several molecular shuttles: (i) rotaxanes with proximity-sensitive functionality on the thread and macrocycle switchable through altering solvent polarity, (ii) rotaxanes derivatised to allow redox or photo-mediated shuttling, and (iii) a combination of the two allowing opto/electronic switching of a property through shuttling. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) Main training is in synthesis and non-covalent interactions and assembly processes. Characterisation involves collaborations with a wide range of other disciplines (various forms of optical spectroscopy, nmr, theoreticians, x-ray crystallography) and gives an appreciation of the range of tools available to probe systems at the molecular level. Links with industry / industrial relevance (22) Several UK, european and japanese companies sponsor research into catenanes and rotaxanes at UMIST because of the appeal of using architecture to influence macroscopic properties. A TMR Network on hydrogen bond-assembled catenanes has considerable industrial interest.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'The molecular biology and genetics of thermophilic lactic acid bacteria' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

While in the last decade our understanding of the molecular biology and genetics of some lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has increased greatly, very limited attention has been given to thermophilic LAB, although some of them (principally Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lo helveticus) are widely used in the manufacturing of many French, Italian and Swiss cheeses as well as yoghurt and acidified milk products. To fill the gap between thermophilic LAB and other industrially important microorganisms, a coordinate effort of 9 European laboratories from 6 Countries, with complementary skills and interests, will be performed. This consortium, for its size and distribution of roles, represents an important opportunity for EU to take the world leadership in this growing field. The ambition of the project is to perform a broad study of thermophilic LAB by means of all the tools made available by recent microbiological research. The whole topic will be divided into the following four packages and will be basically devoted to food-grade strains. Mutual flow of data among packages will be constant. Package I. Metabolic engineering. The work will be aimed at understanding and improving the following important metabolic traits: lactose/galactose metabolism, polysaccharide secretion and properties, proteolysis, lactic acid fermentation, and amino acid biosynthesis and transport. Packaqe II. Environmental and stress response. This part of the work will be aimed at gaining a better knowledge and an improvement of the adaptive responses of thermophilic LAB to changes such as pH, temperature, nutrient and salt concentration, which are common in food fermentations. Package III. Expression and secretion systems. Such systems, which have proven to be essential strain impro

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Corrector equations and random operators'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Consider a partial differential equation (PDE) with random coefficients as in engineering or applied physics: When combined with a spatial scale separation, the randomness and the differential operator interact to give rise to some effective behavior. The recent growing mathematical activity in this domain has led to a ``seemingly'' complete theory of stochastic homogenization  of linear elliptic operators. Central to this theory is the so-called corrector equation, a degenerate elliptic equation posed on the (infinite-dimensional) probability space. The context of linear elliptic operators yields the simplest such equation.  Time-dependent and/or nonlinear PDEs also involve corrector equations (or a family thereof), albeit with a significantly more complex structure. Their study and use to characterize the large-scale/time behavior of solutions of PDEs with random coefficients are at the heart of this project.  Whereas the relevance of corrector equations is clear in problems such as diffusion in random media, sedimentation of randomly placed particles in a fluid, or water waves on a rough bottom, it is less obvious for the long-time behavior of waves in disordered media. The latter is related to the spectrum of the associated random elliptic operator, the characterization of which still remains a largely open question today. We propose to relate the long-time behavior of waves to the properties of a family of corrector equations.     These corrector equations are widely unstudied and offer many analytical challenges. They constitute the first half of the project. Even in the ``well-understood'' setting of linear elliptic operators, this requires to revisit the corrector equation in the light of much weaker topologies than considered before.  The second half of the pro

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'In-Line Areal Surface Measurement for Micro and Nano Production' (InLineNano) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

A new optical interferometry technology has been developed which delivers fast and high precision areal surface measurements for stepped and structured micro-nanoscale surfaces which cannot be measured by traditional techniques. The technology addresses the market need for high throughput, simple sample preparation and nanoscale accuracy combined with an affordable system cost. Furthermore, a unique vibration isolation innovation means that it has the flexibility to be applied both in-line and in-process. This project aims to validate its commercial potential as both a research and industrial metrology tool.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Poverty related Diseases College(International Programme on BioMedicine and Development)'.

assistant: **Innovation**

To bridge the gap between the biological sciences, health and development in Africa, a consortium is created and named the PRD College, which proposes to reorganise and educate young African and European scientists to perform research, on poverty related and neglected  diseases (PR&ND) that is relevant to development.  These diseases are common ground for both the African nations who wish to develop and the European Union who wishes to contribute to and collaborate with Africa for development.  Experiences with members of this consortium on the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM) that was begun by the TDR of World Health Organisation and subsequently the Gates Malaria Partnership of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and recently with the EU funded Network of Excellence (BioMALPAR) post-doctoral programmes, confirmed that scientific capacity building in Africa is beneficial for both disease control as well as for  national development, but that the scientific sector in Africa cannot yet stand on its own feet  and needs to be enhanced and directed towards development in order to be sustainable.  The PRD College will stimulate an early collaboration and enable young scientists to place science within the context of development in Africa. Certain capacity areas will be given focus through elective and mandatory courses followed by an internship in development at an African institution and a science exchange program.  Divided into a 6 work packages and 4 committees, training capacity will be strengthened at 3 PRD Centres in Uganda, South Africa and Cameroon and involve MDs, advanced PhD Students or Post-Docs participants from Africa (12) and Europe (12). The PRD College will transform every trainee scientist to a level where participants can become  tra
