user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Inventory and analysis of national public policies that stimulate research in life sciences and biotechnology, its exploitation and commercialisation by industry in Europe in the period 2001-2004' (BIOPOLIS) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objectives of the BIOPOLIS project are to provide an up-to-date and detailed overview of national policy instruments (including research funds) in the field of life sciences and biotechnology that existed in the period 2001-2004 in European countries, to relate the specific sets of instruments (i.e. inputs) in each country to the scientific and commercial performance of these countries (i.e. outputs) and to draw clusions on best practices in innovation policy making in this field in Europe. The study will cover the 15 EU member states, the 10 accession countries, four candidate countries and Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. An overall European overview and analysis of the specific figurations of the life sciences and biotechnology policy making systems, the policy-directed and non-policy-directed funding of life sciences and biotechnology research, the trends in funding, the profiles of the European countries with respect to the funded life sciences and biotechnology areas and the trends in biotech areas will be made. Accordingly for each country the scientific and commercial performance in biotechnology will be linked to the set of policy instruments used and funds spent on biotechnology research. BIOPOLIS will develop an innovative and upgraded methodology profiting from the lessons learned in a number of previous related projects. It can have an important impact on the development of an international accepted methodological framework for developing and implementing innovation input and output indicators in the field of biotechnology and tribute to the still very patchy OECD-activities in this field.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Lipid- and protein-mediators critical in the pathological mechanisms underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a global health problem of pandemic proportion, and is expected to become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide within 15 years.Furthermore, new evidence indicating that exposure to air pollutants increases the risk of developing the disease is shifting the perception of COPD as solemnly a smokers disease towards becoming a general health concern in urban areas. COPD is primarily an inflammatory disease of the peripheral airways.However, in contrast to other chronic airway inflammatory diseases, e.g. asthma, treatment with inflammatory cascade inhibitors are largely ineffective in COPD. No efficacious treatments currently exist to prevent the inflammatory progression of COPD, which invariably leads to impaired lung function and premature death. The mechanisms underlying the disease progression are not well understood, yet very few resources have been allocated to the study of COPD.The main objective of the proposed study is to identify lipid- and protein-mediators critical in the pathological mechanisms underlying COPD. In accordance with the 1st thematic priority of FP6, proteomics and bioinformatics technology will be utilized to combat major disease: Through the use of state-of-the-art proteomics and metabolomics methodology, alterations of the proteome and inflammatory mediators in response to the disease progression will be quantified. Furthermore, the use bioinformatics applications and pathway construction will aid in a global understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying COPD.The results from this project are expected to have major effects upon the field of inflammation-associated diseases and will potentially develop new diagnostic techniques for early stage lung disease, enabling clinicians t

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Enhanced Picking of High Alloyed Stainless Steels' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Objectives and content Pickling is a common industrial process, employed by a wide range of industries to clean many different types of component, manufactured in different metal alloys. Current pickling techniques for highly alloyed stainless steels, while reasonably satisfactory technically, are slow, expensive and cause a number of environmental problems. Manufacturers of castings and tubes requiring long, high temperature heat treatments, are under considerable legislative and economic pressure. Environmental difficulties are primarily associated with disposal of the spent" pickle liquor. Economic pressures largely arise due the long pickling times, up to 30 hours, required to remove thick oxide films and up to 0.5mm of the surface metal, the latter due to chromium depletion and/or contamination with carbon and/or sulphur. It is proposed to investigate the use of combined alternating and direct current, ac and dc, during electrolytic pickling. It has been shown that ac can have a range of effects on specific electrochemical processes, for example corrosion, electrochemical machining, electrolysis and briefly pickling. The effect of ac can be to accelerate or slow down particular electrochemical processes. The nature and extent of the effect has been shown to be predictable from the study of the electrochemical behaviour of any metal electrolyte combination. In the case of corrosion, potentiodynamic polarisation curves produced in the presence of ac have been used to accurately predict the extent of the effect of imposed ac. These techniques will be developed to study the pickling process. The aim of the project will-be to develop new pickling processes that use electrolytes that are more readily disposed of and significantly reduce the time required with existing pr

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Sumoylation: a regulatory mechanism for circadian clock function'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The past decade has seen a remarkable advance in our understanding of the plant circadian system, mostly in Arabidopsis thaliana. It is now well established that Arabidopsis clock genes and their protein products operate via negative feedback loops that promote rhythmic oscillations in cellular, metabolic and physiologic activities. Evidence about the relevant role of transcriptional mechanisms regulating the circadian clock has been provided in a number of different studies. However, the importance of post-translational regulation within the plant circadian clock still remains to be fully elucidated. In this proposal, we attempt to explore the molecular, cellular and biochemical determinants involved in the post-translational regulation of the Arabidopsis circadian clock. We will characterize protein sumoylation and its regulation of the circadian system, deciphering its potential role modulating the light input to the clock. To date, no other studies have demonstrated the importance of this post-translational modification within the plant circadian field, which provide evidence about the novelty and biological relevance of this proposal. Overall, the successful completion of the proposed objectives will provide a substantial advance on our knowledge of circadian clock function in plants.""

user: Describe how 'Unmanned-Power-to-Methanol-production' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

It is a great challenge to upgrade decentralized CO2 point-sources to production sites for renewable fuels. These CO2 sources can be related for example to production of biogas in anaerobic digestion plants.UP-TO-ME targets a ground-breaking change in decentralized Power-to-Methanol production for hard to electrify applications, like marine vessels. The potential of producing renewable methanol, only by utilizing the CO2 content of biogas in Europe is 128 Mt/a. UP-TO-ME concept is based on a hybrid process which combines the capture of CO2 with the synthesis to methanol in a fully autonomous, unmanned plant. The process comprises 3D-printed reactors and column packings designed using highly advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics. The fully automated, self-learning and self-optimizing control system allows production at fluctuating conditions by combining dynamical plant models and Artificial Intelligence. The aim of UP-TO-ME to provide self-optimizing control even for off-grid-operation is very challenging and, to our knowledge, has not yet been achieved anywhere for comparable plants. The ability of a remote plant to adapt itself to varying boundary conditions such as availability of renewable energies (e.g., from weather forecasts) or on the availability of CO2 from a fluctuating source, open unforeseen possibilities for distributed production. Currently, so-called blue methanol originating from natural gas, is used in limited cases as a marine fuel. However, the quality requirements of a renewable marine methanol fuel, especially considering water content, organic and sulfur impurities originating from P2X production, are not known. UP-TO-ME will assess experimentally the suitability of the produced fuel on a marine type of engine and provide ranges for fuel specifica

user: Describe how 'Development of an Innovative Digital Concrete Screen for outdoor digital signage applications' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The DIGISTONE consortium, a group of European SME in the electronics and construction material sector, aims to address a major market opportunity in the supply of large, concrete multimedia displays primarily for outdoor digital signage and commercial applications. The consortium wants to develop an innovative, intelligent building material in the format of a concrete media façade/display – a Digital Concrete Screen System. The concept is based on carefully positioned fibre optics, embedded into the concrete which allows a live image or natural daylight to be transmitted through the material appearing directly on the concrete surface. The ability to reproduce multimedia content directly onto large building or free standing walls has some obvious benefits when viewed against outdoor media and advertising market alternatives, most notably offering complete vandalism and weather proof digital signage and lighting - but it also enables entirely novel applications with a range of unique selling points to a very large group of potential end-users. In addition to market and economic benefits for the SMEs, the technology has the potential to benefit urban heritage and preservation as well as the environmental footprint of the street furniture industry due to drastically reduced maintenance and service requirements.The SME consortium has the capabilities to produce and market the new product, but lacks the financial resources as well as the expertise in photonics, building materials and electronics to enable the required technological development. Therefore, the group has identified the Research for SMEs programme as the suitable vehicle for overcoming the technological and financial barriers associated with the achievement of the objective.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Metamaterials for Thermoelectric Applications - multiscale Structure, Chemistry, Thermal Property relations to uncover the local behavior of grain boundaries' (MetaSCT).

assistant: **Concept**

A major barrier to a wider adoption of renewable energy technologies is developing more performing materials. Grain boundaries (GBs) emerge having a strong and multifaceted impact on thermal and electrical transport, critically controlling the materials performance in applications spanning from photovoltaics, solid oxide fuel-cells, thermal barriers, and thermoelectrics. Despite the considerable technological relevance, our understanding of how the structure and chemistry of GBs govern heat transport at the local scale, where GBs operate, remains limited.MetaSCT is a career development program designed for Dr. Eleonora Isotta, aimed at developing structure – chemistry - thermal property (SCT) relations to advance our understanding of GBs. To successfully deliver the project goals, Dr Isotta will receive advanced research training from an intercontinental collaboration of world-leading institutes and will benefit of their cutting-edge expertise and equipment. This opportunity will support Dr. Isotta’s growth as independent researcher and expert materials scientist, with lasting impact on her long-term career trajectory.If successful, the project will uncover new knowledge on heat transport at GBs, consolidate a promising material for thermoelectrics, establish novel techniques for SCT relations with 20x higher spatial resolution than current possibilities, and develop predictive models. High resolution techniques can have significant impact on broad areas of applied materials science and energy generation. New understanding on GBs will enable the design of metamaterials with engineered GBs for several applications, including thermoelectric energy harvesting and heat management.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Advance Optical Clocks' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The proposed research program has three main objectives. The first and second objectives are to seek extreme precisions in optical atomic spectroscopy and optical clocks, and to use this quest as a mean of exploration in atomic physics. The third objective is to explore new possibilities that stem from extreme precision. These goals will be pursued via three complementary activities: #1: Search for extreme precisions with an Hg optical lattice clock. #2: Explore and exploit the rich Hg system, which is essentially unexplored in the cold and ultra-cold regime. #3: Identify new applications of clocks with extreme precision to Earth science. Clocks can measure directly the gravitational potential via Einstein’s gravitational redshift, leading to the idea of “clock-based geodesy”.The 2 first activities are experimental and build on an existing setup, where we demonstrated the feasibility of an Hg optical lattice clock. Hg is chosen for its potential to surpass competing systems. We will investigate the unexplored physics of the Hg clock. This includes interactions between Hg atoms, lattice-induced light shifts, and sensitivity to external fields which are specific to the atomic species. Beyond, we will explore the fundamental limits of the optical lattice scheme. We will exploit other remarkable features of Hg associated to the high atomic number and the diversity of stable isotopes. These features enable tests of fundamental physical laws, ultra-precise measurements of isotope shifts, measurement of collisional properties toward evaporative cooling and quantum gases of Hg, investigation of forbidden transitions promising for measuring the nuclear anapole moment of Hg.The third activity is theoretical and is aimed at initiating collaborations with experts in modelling Earth

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Hafnium oxide based nanocomposite scintillators for fast timing detection'.

assistant: **Concept**

The most common ionizing radiation detectors using inorganic solid scintillators do not currently enable the technological progress in the fields of high-energy particles detection and medical diagnosis (such as in time-of-flight PET tomography), where high light yield and fast timing capabilities are needed. Nanoparticles can be exploited as scintillators to overcome these limits due to the possibility to control and modify their structural and luminescence properties. Moreover, nanoparticles can be embedded in polymers for the fabrication of nanocomposites with high optical transparency.The main goal of the project is to develop advanced hafnium oxide nanocomposite scintillators with time response in nanoseconds, while exploiting the hafnia quality to efficiently stop the ionizing radiation. In order to reach the project goal, the radioluminescence properties of inorganic hafnia nanoparticles will be optimized by defects engineering and doping strategies. The hafnia surfaces will be decorated with highly fluorescent organic dyes and the radioluminescence of nanoparticles will sensitize the dye emission. These hybrid nanoscintillators will be embedded in a polymer matrix in order to fabricate low cost, flexible and scalable nanocomposite scintillators with optimized luminescence efficiency and fast time response. The project is at the forefront of the progress in high-energy physics experiments to minimize the photons losses at high count rates, and meets the urgent demands of medical imaging techniques to gain high quality images. The results of the proposed research will represent a fundamental step forward towards significant advances in technologies for ionizing radiation detection as well as reinforce the position of the European scintillation community worldwide.
