user: Explain how 'PowerKite - Power Take-Off System for a Subsea Tidal Kite' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The PowerKite project will design, build and deploy a power take-off system (PTO) for novel tidal energy collector concept, the Deep Green subsea tidal kite. The overall objective of the PowerKite project is to gather experience in open sea conditions to enhance the structural and power performance of the PTO for a next generation tidal energy converter to ensure high survivability, reliability and performance, low environmental impact and competitive cost of energy in the (future) commercial phases. The core innovation of the project resides in the electro-mechanical design of the PTO, allowing the array to be deployed in sites with low velocity currents. The project will develop full-scale components of the turbine, generator, seabed power electronics, array transformer and subsea export cable. The project will also develop a new material for the mooring system (tether) combining the required buoyancy (to avoid the seafloor and the surface) with the appropriate modulus, strength and fatigue properties (to hold an oscillating load of 200 tons). Open sea trials will play a crucial role in the project as the deployment of the first full scale Deep Green prototype (funded via separate ERDF funding) will enable extensive offshore data collection for the PTO system. The Powerkite project has the potential to double the tidal power market potential, decrease the cost of energy with up to 60% and decrease the weight per installed MW at least 20 times compared to other tidal energy converters. The project has a budget of 5.1M Euros and gathers 9 partners from 3 countries. Over 30 months, the project will progress the state of the art in several fields: PTO modelling, electrical design, mechanical design, data acquisition, analysis and optimisation.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Transforming urban and agricultural residues into high performance biomaterials for green construction' (INNOBITE), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

INNOBITE project will transform urban and agricultural residues into high performing resource efficient products for the construction sector. The project finds support in two innovative ideas: (1) adding value to the inorganic fraction of wheat straw and (2) obtaining cellulose nanofibres out of highly recycled paper. Once isolated via environmentally friendly processes, these two renewable compounds will be used as high-performance additives for the development of a new series of bio-composites The incorporation of those natural components will improve current solutions in two construction applications: panels for indoor structures (interior walls, ceiling, flooring…) and profiles (decking, fencing…) by, respectively, increasing the resistance-to-weight ratio and improving the surface hardness and water absorbency. Other commercial bio-plastics as well as the two major fractions of what straw, cellulose and lignin, will be also incorporated into such materials (cellulose after chemical modification and lignin after being polymerised into both thermosetting and thermoplastic resins), and the resulting products will be finally tested for biodegradability. In the same way as wood, which is at the same time biodegradable and exceptional building material, the use of plant-derived products will increase the biodegradability of the biomaterials without compromising their structural quality. The project will destine more than 10% of the total budget to maximize the effectiveness of the exploitation activities, which will include thorough analysis of the cost effectiveness and environmental credentials of the products/processes developed and of new possible business lines and new business models. Also, the validation of developed technologies under the Environmental Technology

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Gene-activated AntiMicrobial Biomaterials for Bone regeneration' (GAMBBa), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Osteomyelitis, i.e. bone infection, combined with the alarming rise in antibiotic resistance globally, is currently regarded as the most devastating clinical complication when attempting to repair bone defects. This project tackles these major challenges of modern bone tissue engineering by developing a novel technology with dual osteogenic and antimicrobial action i.e. regenerative scaffolds that can eliminate bacterial infection while simultaneously providing a bioactive environment for bone growth. The specific goal of this research proposal is to develop and evaluate a new, innovative and effective treatment for osteomyelitis by combining non-antibiotic antimicrobial nanoparticles with gene-activated scaffolds for bone regeneration. Osteoconductive collagen-nanohydroxyapatite scaffolds with proven bone-healing potential will be functionalised for the sustained delivery of genetic cargoes to improve tissue repair, i.e. plasmid DNA (pBMP-2) and microRNA (antagomiR-133a), using novel technologies pioneered at Prof O’Brien’s Lab in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. The project will also study the incorporation of metal-ions, an innovative alternative to traditional antibiotics, into scaffolds and bioglasses developed at Prof Boccaccini’s Lab at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Diligently supervised by Profs. O’Brien and Boccaccini, and guided by a Personal Career Development Plan, I will develop complementary skills in project management, entrepreneurship, commercialisation, leadership and profile enhancement. Acquiring advanced research competences and complementary skills will allow me to mature as an independent scientist, enhancing my professional visibility, capacity and competitiveness in the field of regenerative medicine.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Feasibility of Bio-based Propylene Glycol' (BioPG).

assistant: **Concept**

Propylene Glycol (PG) is a non-toxic alcohol that is used in various consumer and industrial applications, such as food and beverage, feed, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, plastics, electronics, etc. Its unique combination of properties makes it a valuable solvent, emulsifier, stabiliser, freezing point reducer and much more.Still, dependency on oil prices, as well as costly and environmentally unfriendly production processes make PG today an expensive additive compared to alternative Ethylene Glycol (EG), a toxic chemical with similar properties and uses, but a tenfold larger market. EG has a sweet taste and is often accidentally ingested, leading to hundreds of fatal intoxication cases around the world annually.Estonian SME Nano OÜ has developed a novel process to produce bio-based PG from agricultural waste in a fermentation process similar to ethanol fermentation. Innovative production process and our choice of raw materials bring down the produc agricultural waste tion cost and make PG price-competitive with hazardous EG, enabling to replace the latter in various high-value applications where human exposure is inevitable.The BioPG project helps Nano to assess the business potential and economic feasibility of the proposed innovation, and focuses on:• Creating a business plan to define the best strategy for the commercialization of the method; • Conducting a freedom-to-operate study to ensure no other patents are infringed by the proposed innovation project; • Preparing a preliminary design of a pilot plant for PG manufacturing.As the result of the feasibility assessment, Nano will have necessary high-quality input to compose a competitive proposal for SMEI Phase 2 project, where detailed blueprints for the pilot plant are engineered and preparations for building the pla

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Poplar Fiber Based Sustainable and Antibacterial Face Mask Filtration Media' (Popmask), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Among top ten current N95 producers, only one of them is EU-origin company. Europe needs to act to develop sustainable face masks to lead the fabric filtration industry, which will be worth in excess of 2.7 billion Euros in 2024.  Due to ongoing coronavirus pandemic, consuming billions of face masks around the globe resulted not only plastic pollution, but also created a shortage on the melt-blown polypropylene (PP) supply chain, which is the mainly used filtering medium. PP is a petroleum-based polymer and doesn’t have antibacterial activity. The ideal solution to this problem would be using a sustainable and antibacterial filtration media that can effectively filter ultra-small particles such as coronavirus itself. To address the challenge, I have formulated an innovative and interdisciplinary project based on my research experience to develop filtration media using sustainable and antibacterial poplar fibers that aligns with The European Green Deal action plan. After developing poplar webs, I will utilize Grado Zero Espace's (GZE), expertise to create commercial surgical masks and filtering facepiece respirators (FFP). The significance of developing Coronavirus-specific project is clearly emphasized in the European Research Area Corona Platform. Developing surgical masks and FFPs prototypes from a sustainable material not only contributes Sustainable Development Goal of EU, but also could lead higher-added value products, responding the global need for face masks in pandemic situations.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Scale-up of Calcium Carbonate Looping Technology for Efficient CO2 Capture from Power and Industrial Plants' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Calcium Carbonate Looping (CCL) is a promising long-term technology for low-cost post combustion CO2 capture for fossil fuels using limestone based solid sorbents. It combines the advantages of a small efficiency penalty of 5 to 7 % points and a low CO2 capture cost compared to competing technologies currently under development. First tests performed on the 1 MWth scale have confirmed the feasibility of the technology. Construction of a pilot plant in the order of 20 MWth is a logical next step in the development of this technology. One major goal of the proposed project is to perform long-term tests with different fuels in an upgraded 1 MWth pilot plant, aiming mainly at optimization of operating conditions and operational reliability. The successful operation of the upgraded pilot will provide the important validation step between the 1 MWth scale and a future 20 MWth scale pilot plant. Process and CFD models will be developed and comprehensively validated against experimatal data from 1 MWth testing. These models will be applied to support the engineering for a 20 MWth scale pilot plant. The project will provide a techno-economic as well as an environmental assessment of this high-potential technology for CO2 capture from power plants as well cement and steel production plants, and provide the fundamental expertise needed for the scale-up and further technology development and integration.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Gender and transnational Humanitarian Commitment for Children (Europe - 1980-2007)', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The main objective of this project is to examine the extent to which “gender”, as category of analysis, can be a useful tool in explaining the nature and the impact of humanitarian aid of western organizations towards children in Europe, between 1980 and 2007, using as case study the relation France (initiator)-Romania (beneficiary). The main objectives are:  to identify all the stakeholders involved in the humanitarian aid for children, the targeted problems, if the large framework of intervention to see if formally it addressed these gender particularities; to describe the grassroots activity and the human resources of the humanitarian organisations involved in aiding the children, with a special focus on the motivation(s) that stood behind both the personal and institutional involvement and of there any differences between women and men; a survey on the local impact of each of the major intervention axes, insisting on sensitive issues, such as the accusations of paedophilia and the scandal surrounding international adoptions.This project is at the crossroad of four highly interdisciplinary research areas: Humanitarian aid, gender studies, childhood studies and European Studies and, accordingly, uses specific methodological approaches. The research will benefit from the extensive use of archives and oral testimonies from those that were directly part both of the process of decision, sources that are presently insufficient or unexplored. The research challenges the monolith unity of the Eastern Bloc. By studying the institutional, personal and conceptual relationships, the fellow wants to confront this statement with sources that have not yet been exploited. It will highlight the complexity of transnational humanitarianism towards children, with its undeniable benefits

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Small RNAs in immunity and regulation of giant endogenous viral elements in eukaryotes' (SMALLGIANT), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

In this project, we aim to investigate the role of small RNAs (sRNAs) in defending against giant virus infections. Giant viruses are eukaryotic viruses with exceptionally large genomes, some of which surpass the size of bacterial genomes. Remarkably, giant virus integrations have been found across various eukaryotes, leading to the formation of giant endogenous viral elements (GEVEs). Among the reported GEVEs, the host group (Dr. de Mendoza’s laboratory) has identified a unicellular relative of animals that harbours hundreds of GEVEs—more than any other known eukaryote. This observation suggests that these viral integrations may confer a beneficial role to the host. Although GEVEs are typically transcriptionally silent, the removal of DNA methylation triggers the reactivation of many viral genes, mimicking an infection. Notably, proteins related to sRNA biogenesis are upregulated during this reactivation, indicating that sRNAs may play a role in post-transcriptional silencing of the endogenized viruses, as no viral particles are formed. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that GEVE-derived transcripts generate sRNAs that help defend against future infections.To explore this hypothesis, I will bring my expertise in small RNAs to the host lab, aiming to deepen our understanding of how sRNAs co-evolved with GEVEs and how they may function in immunity against giant viruses. My focus will be on key unicellular eukaryotes that possess the genetic machinery necessary for sRNA processing and show evidence of containing GEVEs. The outcomes of this project have the potential to open a new field of research. If sRNAs are indeed involved in immunity, they could be leveraged to protect these species against new infections. Additionally, we propose various outreach activities to

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'The role of reproductive hormones and gestation in bile homeostasis.'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Cholestasis, the impairment of bile flow, causes liver damage via accumulation of toxic compounds in the liver and is a common and devastating manifestation of liver disease. Obstetric cholestasis (OC) is a reversible form of cholestasis, associated with major adverse pregnancy outcomes, including prematurity and intrauterine death and is caused by an imbalance in bile homeostasis due to genetic and hormonal factors. Heterozygous maternal mutations in hepato-canalicular transporters and the bile acid receptor FXR are described in a small number of OC cases, indicating complex aetiology.   The disease usually presents in the third trimester of pregnancy when reproductive hormone concentrations are high, and resolves after delivery, when oestrogen and progesterone levels return to normal. Furthermore, these patients often present with cholestasis outside pregnancy when taking oral contraceptives, indicating that reproductive hormones have an important role in the pathogenesis of OC. We hypothesise that high concentrations of reproductive hormones impair bile acid homeostasis. In this proposal, we propose to evaluate bile acid homeostasis in wild type and Fxr null mice: (a) following administration of reproductive hormones to ovariectomised mice and (b) during gestation.   In order to determine the effect reproductive hormones have on bile homeostasis, in vitro NMR will be used to measure serum, bile, urinary, and faecal levels of bile acids, lipids, sex hormones, and their metabolites. Furthermore, we will investigate the expression of genes that are involved in bile acid synthesis, metabolism, transport and regulation. Following the outcome of the studies of metabolite profiles and gene expression, we will identify the molecular pathways by which oestrogens' and progeste
