user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Bioactive lipids at the ocular surface: from Langmuir surface balance to ophthalmic nanoemulsions' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Since 2012 the interest to the studies of the tear film lipid layer (TFLL) stabilizing the air/tear surface has dramatically raised.  Firstly TFLL related abnormalities may be the main reason for dry eye syndrome (DES), the most prevalent ophthalmic public health disease affecting the quality of life of 10-30% of the human population worldwide and resulting in > €3.5 billion annual cost for EU. Secondly due to TFLL exceptionally slow turnover rate of 0.93 (±0.36)%/min, ophthalmic nanoemulsions mixing favorably with it can gain long residence at the ocular surface allowing for new routes of treatment not only of DES but also of glaucoma, the major vision threatening disease today. Therefore it is important to study the impact of key lipid classes to the micro- and nano-scale structure and to the dynamic surface properties of TFLL films at the air/water interface in health and disease and in vitro and vivo. This is what we will do by employing state of the art Langmuir surface balance, dilatational rheology, fluorescence and Brewster angle microscopy techniques as well as pharmacokinetic methodologies. The action will deliver both, (i) fundamental knowledge on TFLL functionality and DES mechanisms and (ii) molecules and formulations that can enhance TFLL functionality and lead to new therapies. The action will allow to European science and industry to aim for leadership in a field of increasing social importance.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Optimization of the production line of an innovative biodegradable water reservoir to be applied in efficient landscape-scale ecosystem restoration plans' (2014-2020) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Global land resources are under pressure in the face of growing demand from an exponentially growing population and the impacts of climate change. The numbers demonstrate that we are wasting our natural capital at an accelerating pace. The time to act is now, by initiating large scale land restoration programs involving tree plantings. The ecosystem restoration market is globally estimated at US $300 billion. Towards this goal we have developed a unique, fully functional product (TRL 7), called ‘Cocoon’, to promote tree establishment in dryland environments. Acting as a tree incubator the Cocoon nourishes tree seedlings, resulting in high survival rates and increased resilience to adverse growing conditions, while maintaining water efficiency. The scope of this FTI is to prototype an innovative manufacturing line in the EU with the following objectives:1. Reach a production capacity of 1 million Cocoons per year2. Achieve a production output of 125 units per hour (as compared to 40 units in status quo)3. Reduce the manufacturing costs per Cocoon from €5 (currently) to €1 (target costs)4. Reduce energy consumption by 50% & manufacture with 100% recycled energy from waste heat, solar heat and PV5. Integrate local agriculture waste materials or grasses in the product When production cost can go down to €1, completely new, large-scale markets will open up. Our project will stimulate private sector investment in land regeneration projects and promote trans-disciplinary research & innovation (industrial design, organic waste recycling, biomass, renewable energy). Our sustainable innovations address societal needs of restoring degraded areas, especially in times of increasing pressures from climate change. They also create a viable business opportunity for the private tree pla

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Training doctoral researchers in advanced strategies towards energy-neutral wastewater treatment'.

assistant: **Innovation**

NEUTEN pioneers a comprehensive approach to tackle the two most challenging environmental, health and societal issues including water pollution with key priority pollutants (KPPs) and the need for clean and renewable sources of energy. Current chemical treatment technologies developed for the degradation KPPs are mostly energy-intensive and costly. Established biological wastewater treatment systems, e.g., anaerobic digestion, only remove certain KPPs to a limited extent. NEUTEN will innovate in advanced and sustainable catalytic systems for the generation of energy carriers or the conversion of KPPs from wastewater to energy-dense hydrochar (WP1). Manipulation of the microbial consortia and design of highly novel support structures will also enhance renewable energy carrier generation and superior KPP removal efficiencies from anaerobic digestion systems (WP2). Lastly, the integration of both chemical and biological treatment methods will be investigated, with the ultimate goal of achieving self-sustained wastewater treatment systems (WP3). Implementation of artificial intelligence tools and market behaviour analysis allows for the development of business models that are not only environmentally sound but also economically viable (WP4). The project aims to train 15 highly skilled doctoral candidates, providing them with a unique interdisciplinary and intersectoral research training program by a broad consortium, encompassing 18 intersectoral partners (6 academic, 12 non-academic) in 10 countries. The highly relevant field, combined with an advanced training program that encompasses transversal skills and training through research will ensure that highly trained professionals will enter the job market, further strengthening the competitiveness of the EU in this domain.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Autotrophic-Heterotrophic Interactions in Cyanobacterial Aggregates' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Large, filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria  (Trichodesmium spp., Nodularia spumigena and Aphanizomenon spp.) play an important role for primary production, input of nitrogen, and the microbial food webs in the ocean, in brackish waters (e.g. the Baltic Sea) and in lakes. Gas vesicles within filaments make these cyanobacteria positively buoyant to reach high light intensities in surface waters where they cover the energy needed for nitrogen fixation through photosynthesis. These large cyanobacteria create their own microenvironment with steep gradients of gases and nutrients at the sea surface. Hence, their growth conditions are significantly different to those of the bulk water. Direct measurements of small-scale physical-chemical characteristics and biogeochemical processes associated with large, filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria are hence crucial to understand the role that these cyanobacteria have on a large scale in respect to their overall input of carbon and nitrogen from the atmosphere into aquatic systems. The present project aims at a detailed understanding of the carbon and nitrogen fluxes in aggregates of large, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria and their associated heterotrophic community.

user: Describe how 'Preparation of a certified oyster tissue reference material for species of tin, mercury and selenium' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The toxicity of metals, their environmental mobility and tendency to be accumulated in living systems are strictly correlated with their chemical forms, and then, usually, knowledge of the total concentration giveC only limited information about the potential risk (e.g. for human consumption). Chemical species can be present in the environment by direct introduction through natural or anthropogenic sources or by formation in the environment via chemical, physical and/or biological processes. Species of Hg, Sn and Se are of particular importance from an environmental point of view. The high toxicity of some of these species can cause environmental and economic damage such as that observed in the past in the Arcachon Bay in France (oysters poisoning by tributyltin ) and in Minamata Bay in Japan (fish poisoning by methylmercury caused several human victims). As a consequence of their adverse effect, a number of chemical species have been included in the list of substances to be monitored within the frame of EU legislation. The Council Decision: 75/437/EEC, 77/585/EEC, 81/420/EEC, 83/101/EEC, 84/132/EEC, 77/586/EEC and 80/68/EEC consideI also mercury, cadmium, tin, arsenic, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, beryllium, vanadium, selenium, antimony and their compounds. The mention of a range of elements and their compounds implies that the laboratories should, in principle, determine a wide variety of chemical forms of elements for which the knowledge is still very scarce. Nowadays, methods for the speciation of mercury, tin, and selenium are available and currently used. However, many of these methods are far from being under control and environmental data are far from being comparable and reliable. Adherence to the legislation requires that the data produced are compara

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'A PRAGMATIC CLINICAL STUDY OF NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY FOLLOWED BY SURGERY VERSUS SURGERY ALONE FOR PATIENTS WITH HIGH RISK RETROPERITONEAL SARCOMA'.

assistant: **Concept**

Retroperitoneal sarcomas are rare diseases refractory to treatment with dismal prognosis. Surgery is the only standard approach to primary disease. We are proposing an innovative pragmatic approach supplementing a standard phase III clinical trial with an observational cohort. It is proposed to amend the ongoing phase III EORTC clinical trial STRASS2 investigating the added value of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma and to add an observational arm STREXIT2 that will capture real world data from patients not participating to STRASS2. We will compare the clinical outcomes between STRASS2 and STREXIT2 and explore the possible combination of STRASS2 and matched STREXIT2 patients to strengthen the results of the randomized clinical trial data and increase the power of subgroup analyses. If conclusive, the proposed research will help to understand the clinical added value and costs-effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma. We will perform health economics analysis assessing the economic value of different treatment scenarios based on STRASS2 and STREXIT2. If successful, the outcomes of the project will define a new evidence-based standard of care for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcomas. The proposed research could lead to improved patient survival and quality of life but also improving health system sustainability. This is a multidisciplinary and multistakeholder consortium involving clinical oncologists, surgeons, health economists and patient representatives. The study design was successfully discussed with patients. This action is part of the Cancer Mission cluster of projects on Diagnosis and treatment.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Rough surfaces in sliding contact: A combined atomistic/continuum investigation of topography evolution', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Summary - Mechanical systems have moving parts which dissipate energy at surfaces sliding with respect to each other. Energy efficient devices need interfaces that are tailored to consume little to no energy. This requires a fundamental understanding of frictional dissipation processes. The evolution of the topography of the two surfaces that are in contact is a crucial component of sliding friction: Processes such as fracture and plastic flow dissipate energy and contribute to the macroscopic coefficient of friction. Using molecular dynamics and continuum methods, the surface structure evolution during plastic deformation is investigated for three isotropic model materials. This hybrid atomistic/continuum approach is aimed to reveal at which length-scale the continuum theory starts to fail in its description of the basic plastic processes and what new phenomena occur below this scale. Besides gaining insights into frictional dissipation processes, this will clarify how to extrapolate atomistic results to the continuum. Since continuum theories are typically used for the design of macroscopic devices, this also constitutes a first step towards the incorporation of surface structure as a design element in the engineering process.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'DISEASE ENVIRONMENT AND CIVIL CONFLICT'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Civil conflicts are the most common warfare events during the last fifty years, account for the largest number of conflict-related casualties, and cause large social and economic disruption. In fact, civil conflicts represent one of the major correlates of economic backwardness in the world, with conflicts occurring predominantly in poorer countries. These observations raise the question about the potentially common causes of civil conflicts and economic development. During the past decade, an empirical literature emerged in economics that has investigated the socio-economic, institutional and geographic causes for the occurrence of civil conflicts. While much has been learnt about the determinants of conflict, many issues are not yet fully understood. For instance, why are conflicts so prevalent in countries with low life expectancy? Could weather shocks trigger civil war through a disease channel?The goal of this research project is to investigate the role of the disease environment as a new, so far largely overlooked, determinant of civil conflict. A better understanding of whether and through which channels the disease environment affects civil war will shed new light on the debate about civil conflict and economic development. This research project will bring new aspects to the forefront that have important implications for the prevalence of conflicts in the world that can be expected in the future, as well as for potential strategies to avoid conflicts. From a European perspective, the intended research is of particular importance, given the migratory pressure from Africa and the Arab world as consequence of civil conflict and a bleak economic outlook in many of these countries.""

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Women Entrepreneurs for STEM' (WE4STEM) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objective of the project is to develop new and lasting international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaborations in the research field of entrepreneurial education. The scientific goal is to create an evidence-based outreach intervention that (1) identifies potential candidates for entrepreneurship from among European female graduates and postgraduates in STEM fields, (2) strengthens their entrepreneurial intention and (3) points them to digital entrepreneurial education based on their personal profile. Entrepreneurship drives economic growth, job creation and innovation. In the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan, the European Commission outlines the importance of strengthening Europe’s entrepreneurial potential. However, despite a range of actions entrepreneurial intentions are low in more developed economies. This is especially true for women in STEM fields, and it is particularly true for female students. Although the underrepresentation of women entrepreneurs is determined by socio-cultural and economic factors, studies show that entrepreneurship education can have a positive influence on the development of entrepreneurial intention. However, little research has been conducted to design evidence-based interventions. It is the aim of the proposal to create an evidence-based intervention that identifies candidates for entrepreneurship from among European female graduates and postgraduates within STEM, strengthens their entrepreneurial intention and points them to digital entrepreneurial education. Using data analysis, machine learning tools and Educational Technology we contribute to improving the profile matching that connects female graduates and postgraduates within STEM to entrepreneurship and uses algorithms to match between learner profile and interve

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'A Decision Support System for Reducing  CO2 and Black Carbon Emissions by Adaptive Traffic Management' (CARBOTRAF) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The project aims to realize a method, system and tools for adaptively influencing traffic in real-time to reduce CO2- and black carbon (BC) emissions caused by road transport in urban and inter-urban areas. BC is suspected to be the second main contributor-next to CO2-to global warming. The inter-relationships between traffic flow and CO2- and BC emissions will be considered. In particular a model linking traffic flows to emission levels will be established on the basis of existing and new simulation methods and tools.The main goal of the project is the development, integration and evaluation of a real-time decision support system for adaptive traffic control and management. Real-time traffic information will be delivered by existing sensors and by a novel technology vision sensor, air quality sensors and additional data sources (e.g. weather conditions) enrich the data base to provide all relevant information in a unified fashion. Based on a data base of predefined traffic scenarios traffic control measures will be dynamically imposed. The impact of the measures on the overall CO2 - and BC emissions will be accounted for in the decision support system and will be assessed in the evaluation. Furthermore, the effects of reduced traffic on urban air pollutants (relevant for human health), with a special focus on BC as a pollutant, will also be considered, thus allowing to evaluate the value added of climate protection measures for the urban population. The system will be implemented and tested in two EU cities (Graz,AT and Glasgow,UK).This project brings together two important communities. The traffic community is represented by AIT, IBM, VITO, Österreichisches Forschungs- und Prüfzentrum Arsenal (ÖFPZ) and EBE-Solutions Austria with long standing experience in traffic mo
