user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Cost-effective processing and refining of lithium into lithium hydroxide from strategic European multi-mineral lithium hard-rock projects'.

assistant: **Innovation**

On 16 March 2023 the EC published the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) setting “benchmarks along the strategic raw materials value chain and for the diversification of EU supplies”. By targeting the domestic processing and refining of lithium – arguably “the most strategic CRM”– LITHOS directly contributes to the 1st and 2nd CRMA benchmarks (10% domestic extraction; 40% domestic processing). LITHOS processes and refines the ores from three “Strategic Projects” in terms of domestic battery-grade LiOH·H2O production: two spodumene-bearing pegmatite cases (Keliber’s deposits in the Kaustinen region, Finland; Savannah’s Barroso Lithium Project, Portugal) and one Rare-Metal Granite (RMG) case (Imerys’ Beauvoir mine in France). LITHOS expands and tailors the existing Keliber & M:O flowsheet, which was developed for regular-grade spodumene ores, so that (1) the cut-off grade for spodumene ores is reduced, resulting in larger Li reserves, while (2) allowing the commercialisation of lower-grade pegmatite and RMG deposits. LITHOS triggers innovations along the value chain – mineral processing, concentrate pre-treatment & hydrometallurgical refining – making it possible to deal with different levels and types of impurities in non-spodumene Li minerals (lepidolite & petalite). LITHOS gives specific attention to closed-loop water systems in the mineral processing (KPI: 90% less water consumption). The overall CO2 emissions of the LITHOS flowsheet will be 50% lower than today’s benchmark (production of spodumene concentrate in Australia & refining in China). This work is enriched by bespoke thermodynamic modelling and digital twins. Supported by FMG & Euromines, LITHOS intends to replicate the LITHOS “responsible mining and refining” concept to the other 24 identified Li-hard-rock d

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Fast Acting Virus Control Strategies for Production Animal Diseases'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective of the FACTs project is to sign a term sheet with investors for ViroVet, an emerging Belgian biotech company, aimed at developing and introducing a disruptive treatment for bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) in beef cattle.BVD is a globally endemic disease of cattle costing the industry billions of Euros every year in the form of increased mortality, decreased feed efficiency and increased susceptibility to secondary disease. Conventional BVD vaccines are unable to fully control the disease due to antigenic variability of the virus and inadequate host immune response to vaccination. BVD virus can infect calves in utero leading to persistently infected (PI) animals that are difficult to detect but that shed massive amounts of virus, resulting in continuous contamination of the herd. The product will initially be launched in the EU and US, with other large beef-producing markets, such as Brazil, also considered. It will be administered to cattle upon arrival at the feedlot or auction house, which is a time of high susceptibility to infection. The drug will prevent exposed animals from developing clinical disease and will reduce viral shedding by PI animals until they are identified and separated from the herd. The drug will be added to standard processing procedures to minimize labour time and cost.The BVD project is in TRL-6 stage and is predicted to reach market in 6-8 years’ time with peak sales of €150 million in the EU and US alone. Key opinion leaders (KOLs) are supportive of the product and a number of investors have expressed their interest. In Phase I, ViroVet will conduct market research and consult with KOLs in Europe and in other major beef markets to ensure successful introduction of the product. A comparative analysis of regulatory requirements will

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Dissent and Urban Spaces', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

What makes citizens choose a particular form of protest and how does space function as mediator between these citizens and their political acts? These questions address the international social contentions of this century. This research offers an interdisciplinary analysis of urban spaces and protests, with a focus on the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The research’s goal is to enrich the discourse about the relationships between dissent and public space.Addressing these relationships, this research offers a window into how people use, manipulate, claim, and appropriate urban space while advocating for their own values.  Thus far, we have no coherent theory explaining the relationship between space and contentious politics. We do have significant empirical and theoretical accounts of how prevailing forms of popular struggle vary and change from one political regime to another, but there is little written about the spatial physicality of these struggles.This research seeks to further understand the phenomena of dissent.  It contributes to this goal by setting the rather abstract notions of citizenship and democracy into a concrete framework of time, place and meaning. The research aims are:1.Building an analytical, interdisciplinary framework for the spatial physicality of dissent.2.Advancing a comparative display of forms of citizenship and cultural identities.3.Offering significant new perspectives on how different and changing notions and practices of citizenship relate to issues in our multicultural society.The project is based on empirical analysis in 10 cities, with the aide of translators and research assistances.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Revolutionizing Healthcare by Tracking and Understanding Human Cells during Disease'.

assistant: **Concept**

Understanding how genomes function within cells, and how cells form tissues and dynamically remodel their activities when tissues progress towards disease is among the grand science and technology challenges of our era. The early detection and interception of chronic and progressive diseases would alleviate enormous suffering and a heavy, growing burden on our economy and ageing society.  LifeTime aims to revolutionize healthcare by developing and integrating several emerging, disruptive technologies (single-cell multi-omics, advanced imaging, machine learning/artificial intelligence (AI), organoids, and CRISPR-Cas). LifeTime technologies will track and decipher the activity of our genomes (our ""book of life"") in individual cells as they progress through time (ageing or disease)-""LifeTime"". LifeTime's unifying goal is to quantify, model, and predict cell trajectories in tissues and whole organisms. Its long-term vision is that LifeTime technologies will inform the physician about the molecular history of a patient's tissues, their future, and the consequences of perturbations or medical treatments, leading to early diagnosis and effective interception of disease.  LifeTime scientists are world-leaders in the required technologies and are committed to establishing an open and dynamic network. LifeTime's focus on developing, integrating and applying several disruptive technologies will induce long-lasting structural changes in European life sciences and healthcare and establish leadership in AI applications for medicine. Together with many industrial partners, we will develop technologies to redefine diagnosis and pathology, and set new standards for mechanism-based drug discovery and disease management for the 21st century. Such advances and their ensuing medical tra

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The sympatric lifestyle of giant viruses: contact tracing and fitness through mobile genetic elements' (CHIMERA) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Giant viruses appear to be ubiquitous in soil and aquatic environments, infecting a wide range of protist hosts. As lytic viruses, they are important regulators in nutrient and energy cycles and key influencers of microbial community composition. The recent discovery of giant viruses challenged previous assumptions and blurred the sharp division between viruses and cellular life. Besides large particle sizes, giant viruses possess complex ""chimeric"" genomes, including genes that were likely acquired from their hosts and bacteria that parasitise the same hosts. Unique is the presence of prokaryotic-like mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that are speculated to aid giant viruses in defence against the host immune system or in direct competition for resources with other viruses or bacteria. Contrarily, bacteria may use MGEs to help the hosts counteract viral infections. Our current knowledge on the factors promoting giant virus diversity and maintenance of the virus-host balance in nature, are largely unknown. In the proposed project, I will investigate the role of MGEs in the evolution and ecology of giant viruses. I postulate that the presence of MGEs plays a crucial role in the competition between giant viruses and other parasites infecting the same hosts. Using co-infection experiments, as well as cutting-edge molecular, microscopy, and sequencing techniques, I will investigate viral competitive fitness as well as physical and molecular interactions between selected partners. By developing a highly specific giant virus genome editing tool, I will rigorously test whether MGEs can provide giant viruses with higher fitness. Moreover, I will combine cell sorting with metagenome analysis of two selected habitats, to unravel how MGEs are distributed in a natural ecosystem. My

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Geodynamics of the Central Mediterranean: A multidisciplinary investigation of the Sicily Channel region' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of this research proposal is to understand the evolution of plate margins when multiple tectonic processes (e.g. plate convergence, subduction, and backarc extension) interact within a small area (e.g. the Calabrian arc in the Central Mediterranean). These margins are prone to catastrophic earthquakes, tsunami and volcanic eruptions, and are all linked to long-term dynamic tectonic processes. Various models explain the evolution of these plate margins, however, lack detail on the extension and rifting that takes place along the arcs. The earthquakes in these areas have a strong dependence on their location along the arc, and hence in any effort aimed at mitigating seismic risk, it is crucial to have a complete understanding of how plate tectonics work when multiple tectonic processes act.We propose a multidisciplinary geophysical and geodynamic investigation of seismic data with additional physical constraints and analogue modelling to improve our understanding on this important aspect of plate tectonics. This will be accomplished by studying the Calabrian Arc, with a special attention on the Sicily Channel Rift Zone. We will incorporate the results into a regional analogue model to understand the nature and role of these processes, which can then be exported for studying other regions. This will allow us to characterise the evolution of plate margins along backarc systems in unprecedented detail, and to investigate the link between plate convergence, subduction, and backarc extension with the tectonics along and at the front of the arc, thus providing a new insight on the evolution of our planet.The study will ultimately contribute to the mitigation of seismic risk by improving the seismic hazard assessment of the countries affected. Some of these places

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'PROVIDING SECURED MOBILE ACCESS SOLUTIONS THROUGH VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Mobile access is becoming commonplace: the user gets access to a facility by sending a request to an electronic lock. The lock recognises the request, verifies the provided access code and opens up. Current radio frequency-based communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, near-field communication (NFC), and Bluetooth are applied in a large variety of applications. However, they have serious security drawbacks: the data can be picked up by devices within a 10 metre radius, they are susceptible to hackers, consume large amounts of power, are not interoperable with all operators and platforms and usually require costly hardware.With our Visible Light Communication solution LightKey, we can provide secure mobile access through photonics without any of the drawbacks of currently available mobile access solutions. It can be used on any mobile device as mobile phones already have the required hardware component (LED in the mobile´s flashlight). There are three steps: 1) download and activate LightKey to mobile phone, 2) introduce personal code and 3) LightKey triggers the camera flash or screen light and modulates and optical custom code. For instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8y1MLSqrr0We have the advantage that the global market for Visible Light Communication is about to explode: global annual revenues are predicted to increase from $268 Million in 2014 to $113 Billion by 2022 (CAGR of 126%), as a result of advances in the technology as well as the wide-spread and low-cost application potential.Our revenue model is based on the sales of optical receivers for the receiving locks and doors at around €120 per unit (locks, health).The execution of the LightKey project will allow us to enter the market faster. Based on a discount rate of 25% the NPV is estimated at €7,314,

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Surface treated materials for improved life and emissions reduction' (SMILER).

assistant: **Innovation**

FeCrAl steels are commonly used in a large variety of industrial and domestic applications in which materials are subjected to high service temperatures. The life time of FeCrAl components and devices is determined by occurrence of breakaway oxidation. Extending the time to breakaway oxidation is of great importance for development of longer living consumer products and for the environmentally benign energy conversion technologies . Therefore, the present project aims at the development of a number of new surface treatment methods to extend the life of FeCrAl steel, adapted to the geometrical features of different , common component types. Additionally , mathematical models will be developed to predict the durability of the new surface treated materials in a number of typical service environments (air, combustion and exhaust gas ) .

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'High efficiency crystalline silicon thin film solar cells' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Objectives In recent years, thin film solar cells on the basis of crystalline silicon have found growing interest since they offer an ideal combination of useful properties of the silicon technology with the advantages of thin film techniques. They have the potential of good and stable efficiencies and on the other hand would guarantee low materials consumption. Large-area deposition techniques would be a potential alternative to the present technologies for mass production of self-supporting individual silicon solar cells using mostly ingot crystallization and wafering by mechanical sawing. This project undertakes a substantial research and development effort in the field of crystalline silicon thin film solar cells, with the main emphasis on high temperature chemical vapour deposition techniques, keeping in mind (low-cost) manufacturability and it has three main objectives: - to show the technical applicability of high efficiency solar cell designs to thin films; - to demonstrate the potential of low-cost manufacturing technologies; - to demonstrate the potential of low-cost substrates. Technical Approach Following a compromise strategy between high risk options and well-known technologies, three different tasks will cover the different aspects of the approach: Task 1 focuses on principal questions related to the crystalline silicon thin film solar cells, including the applicability of high efficiency designs to thin films, and the problems related to optical and electrical confinement. Task 2 addresses the main economic questions related to the thin film approach, namely the availability of low-cost large-area deposition techniques and the development of relatively simple techniques for the different steps in cell technology. Task 3 is related to the question whether

user: Explain how 'Centre of Excellence in Digital Health and Personalised Medicine' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

We propose to establish a Centre of Excellence in Digital Health and Personalised Medicine (CLINNOVA), addressing future medical and societal needs. A prerequisite for personalised medicine is the establishment of clinical research in Luxembourg, the current weakness that we would like to overcome with the programme. The Centre will build on the previous investments into fundamental biomedical research and link to the hospitals in Luxembourg to ensure that innovation from the bench will reach the clinic and patient care. The Centre will fully incorporate personalised medicine approaches integrating medical history from eHealth records with newly generated molecular and phenotypic data as well as environmental and/or health data from mobile devices. Teaming up with the Center for Innovativ Medicinsk Teknologi, Region Syddanmark (CIMT-RSD) and the Nationale Centrum für Tumorerkrankungen, Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (NCT-DKFZ) will allow us to benefit from the immense experience and world-leadership has in setting up modern eHealth infrastructures and translational cancer research. We will focus on areas where there is both existing excellence in pre-clinical research and an important clinical unmet need, namely the disease areas of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases with the transversal axis immunology as important element in both disease areas. Environmental, nutritional and social influences interpreted together with the medical history of patients and molecular diagnostic information will be key to gain an understanding of the diseases for the individual person. A strong ICT component will be a major success factor: data integration and interpretation are needed to derive computational models and predictions on disease development. The Centre will combine all a
