user: Explain how 'Counterfactuals in Minds and Machines' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Reasoning about what might have been, about alternatives to our own pasts, is a landmark of human intelligence. Such type of reasoning, called counterfactual reasoning, is often evaluative, specifying alternatives that are in some sense better or worse than our past reality, and has been shown to play a significant role in the ability that humans have to learn from limited past experience and improve their decision making skills over time. In recent years, there has been an increasing excitement on the potential of machine learning models and algorithms to support human decision making in a variety of high-stakes domains such as medicine, education or science. However, these models and algorithms have been traditionally unable to perform, nor benefit from, counterfactual reasoning. In this project, our goal is to bridge this gap.We will develop machine learning models and algorithms for automated decision support that are able to perform and benefit from counterfactual reasoning in multiple ways. For example, they will perform counterfactual reasoning about human behavior to anticipate how humans incorporate algorithmic advice into their decisions. This will enable a new generation of decision support systems that can only increase and never decrease the average quality of human decisions. Moreover, they will use the structural similarities and shared properties across different counterfactual decision making scenarios to significantly reduce their computational and data requirements. In addition, these models and algorithms will also help humans learn from their own past decisions by identifying alternative decisions that would have led to better outcomes. Finally, we will perform large-scale human subject studies with both laypersons and experts to evaluate their effe

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Understanding the origin of structural colors in Margaritaria nobilis fruit: A molecular dynamics simulation study' (NatColor-MD).

assistant: **Innovation**

Structural coloration in plants, achieved through the arrangement of cellulose microfibrils into helicoidal architectures within the cell wall, is a widespread strategy observed in various plant species, including ferns, monocots, and eudicots. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms responsible for these hierarchical structures in plant cell walls remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, this proposal focuses on unraveling the intricate interactions between cellulose and hemicellulStructural coloration in plants, achieved through the arrangement of cellulose microfibrils into helicoidal architectures within the cell wall, is a widespread strategy observed in various plant species, including ferns, monocots, and eudicots. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms responsible for these hierarchical structures in plant cell walls remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, this proposal focuses on unraveling the intricate interactions between cellulose and hemicelluloses, the key constituents of plant cell walls, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The primary objective of this research is to investigate how the chemical composition of hemicelluloses influences the formation of helicoidal structures in cellulose nanofibrils within plant cell walls and, subsequently, the resulting structural coloration. Combining MD simulation results with experimental data will provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of hemicelluloses on the helicoidal architecture of cellulose nanofibrils. Beyond its immediate scope, this study offers insights into the biosynthesis of cellulose and hemicelluloses in plant cell walls, shedding light on fundamental processes in plant biology.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Collaborative Planning in China: Authoritarian Institutions, New Media, Power Relations, and Public Spheres' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Collaborative planning has become an effective means to address conflicts of interest in urban renewal and environmental management in China. However, the egalitarian principles that ground collaborative planning theory call into question its validity in China. The theory emphasizes consensus building in which various stakeholders come together for dialogue to address controversial issues. It rests on three assumptions: democratic institutions, neutral power and communicative rationality. These assumptions, which are often debated in the Western context, should clearly be questioned in the Chinese context, due to authoritarian institutions and the challenging nature of power relations. Therefore, the aim of my project is to examine the practices of collaborative planning in China and identify the challenges to the assumptions of the theory. I will develop three novel tracks for examination and reconceptualization. The first will analyze how Chinese political and planning systems, social capital and culture affect the interactive processes. The second will apply network theory and social network analysis to analyze various types of power relations between government, planners, civil society and citizens. The third will identify various forms of online public spheres and how they interact with offline public spheres to affect communicative and agonistic approaches to collaborative planning. The research will employ an innovative mixed methods approach combining critical discourse analysis, data mining, computer-assisted content analysis, and social network analysis to research a wide range of case studies. My project will lead to a new understanding of collaborative planning in China, and a reconceptualization of the collaborative planning theory to make it suitable for a

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'The significance of syntrophic acetate oxidation in the global carbon cycle and the formation of heavy oil' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Geochemical evidence and microbiological data suggest that methanogenic oil degradation occurs in petroleum reservoirs. The proposed research aims to investigate several critical unanswered questions about the processes of microbial conversion of crude oil to methane which leads to the formation of extensive biodegraded oil fields on geological timescales and the microbial ecology of petroleum reservoirs. For realization of the project we have formed the following testable hypotheses: 1. Syntrophic acetate oxidation to H2 and CO2 is a central reaction in crude oil alkane-derived methane production in petroleum reservoirs, 2. Syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacteria can be cultivated from petroleum reservoir samples and methanogenic oil degrading systems, 3. Different combinations of methanogenic archaea with diverse bacterial partners can achieve a common conversion of acetate to methane via syntrophic acetate oxidation. Tataria (Russia), Dagang and Lyaohe (China), and different North Sea oilfields will be investigated. To identify organisms responsible for methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation and to infer the degradation pathways employed by natural microbial communities, cultivation-based microbiological methods (culturing and isolation of syntrophic acetate oxidizers from petroleum systems, measurement of syntrophic acetate oxidation and methanogenesis rates, reconstruction of syntrophic co-cultures in vitro) will be used. SYNTROPH will also use stable isotope tracers to determine the extent to which acetoclastic methanogenesis or syntrophic acetate oxidation is the sink for acetate in a methanogenic hydrocarbon degrading system.  This will be augmented by culture-independent (16S rRNA based analyses, stable isotope probing of ribosomal RNA and rRNA genes). SYNTROPH obj

user: Explain how 'The Human Early-Life Exposome – novel tools for integrating early-life environmental exposures and child health across Europe' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The aim of HELIX is to exploit novel tools and methods (remote sensing/GIS-based spatial methods, omics-based approaches, biomarkers of exposure, exposure devices and models, statistical tools for combined exposures, novel study designs, and burden of disease methodologies), to characterise early-life exposure to a wide range of environmental hazards, and integrate and link these with data on major child health outcomes (growth and obesity, neurodevelopment, immune system), thus developing an “Early-Life Exposome” approach.HELIX uses six existing, prospective birth cohort studies as the only realistic and feasible way to obtain the comprehensive, longitudinal, human data needed to build this early-life exposome. These cohorts have already collected large amounts of data as part of national and EU-funded projects. Results will be integrated with data from European cohorts (>300,000 subjects) and registers, to estimate health impacts at the large European scale.HELIX will make a major contribution to the integrated exposure concept by developing an exposome toolkit and database that will: 1) measure a wide range of major chemical and physical environmental hazards in food, consumer products, water, air, noise, and the built environment, in pre and postnatal periods; 2) integrate data on individual, temporal, and toxicokinetic variability, and on multiple exposures, which will greatly reduce uncertainty in exposure estimates; 3) determine molecular profiles and biological pathways associated with multiple exposures using omics tools; 4) provide exposure-response estimates and thresholds for multiple exposures and child health; and 5) estimate the burden of childhood disease in Europe due to multiple environmental exposures.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Fiber Nano-Engineering' (FINE) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Tunable optical-fiber-based micro-cavities offer a variety of applications such as for absorption microscopy, sensing, manipulation of solid-state systems, and quantum information processing. The key enabling technological element in these systems are optical fibers that feature a precisely shaped depression in the fiber end facet and are currently not commercially available. The FET-Open project SQUARE has taken initial steps towards the commercialization of fiber-based micro-resonators. During an initial supply of cavity fibers as standalone product, we recognized the high demand of this key technological element. The proposed FET project Fiber Nano Engineering (FINE) aims at identifying the relevant market segments by an in-depth market study and the development of an IP strategy to protect innovations in the manufacturing process. The arrival of additional inquiries about cavity fibers prompt us to advance the fiber manufacturing process to gain more throughput, less workload and more flexible products. The intended improvements include new strategies in the manufacturing process itself for increasing the quality and quantity of the production as well as software-based solutions to meet the specific inquiries. The supply with the final customized products will happen through a university spin-off, which is currently in formation.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Uncovering commonalities and differences: Towards a novel framework for identifying end-of-life trajectories of older people with serious chronic illness' (TRAJECT) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Older people who die from serious chronic disease typically experience long periods (months or years) of illness and complex fluctuations in their physical health and in their social, psychological, and existential well-being. This project will conduct a mixed-method, inter-disciplinary investigation of these end-of-life trajectories. It responds to the long-standing scientific challenge of identifying commonalities in end-of-life trajectories across groups of people, without masking important inter-individual differences. Its central aim is to gain understanding of what is generalisable and what is individually specific in older peoples end-of-life trajectories and in the circumstances that shape them.This project applies a novel methodological and analytical framework, examining trajectories through two distinct scientific lenses: a structured quantitative approach known from the biomedical sciences to capture fluctuations in a standardised way, and an experience-focused qualitative approach from the humanities to study the subjective stories and meanings behind changes in health. In a convergent mixed-methods investigation, this work combines 1) a large quantitative longitudinal study and 2) a serial narrative interview study; both with older people (70 years or over) with serious chronic illness who are nearing the end of life. The results of these two methods will be integrated through triangulation and by systematically threading key findings from one method across to the other.This work will lead to a fundamental re-thinking of how we examine, understand, and categorise end-of-life trajectories. It will reveal the full extent of their complexity and indicate possibilities and limits of generalisation. These novel insights will propel scientific advances towards a

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Genome-enabled dissection of marine diatom ecophysiology'.

assistant: **Concept**

Diatoms are the most successful group of eukaryotic phytoplankton in the modern ocean. Recently completed whole genome sequences have revealed a wealth of information about the evolutionary origins and metabolic adaptations that may have led to their ecological success. A major finding is that they have acquired genes both from their endosymbiotic ancestors and by horizontal gene transfer from marine bacteria. This unique melting pot of genes encodes novel and largely unexplored capacities for metabolic management. The project will address the current gap in knowledge about the physiological functions of diatom gene products and about the evolutionary mechanisms that have led to diatom success in contemporary oceans. We will exploit genome-enabled approaches to pioneer new research topics addressing:1. How has diatom evolution enabled interactions between chloroplasts and mitochondria that have provided diatoms with physiological and metabolic innovations?2. What are the relative contributions of DNA sequence variation and epigenetic processes in diatom adaptive dynamics?By combining these questions, we will uniquely be able to identify sentinel genes that have driven major physiological and metabolic innovations in diatoms, and will explore the mechanisms that have selected and molded them during diatom evolution. We will focus our studies largely on diatom responses to nutrients, in particular nitrate and iron, and will exploit the advantages of Phaeodactylum tricornutum as a model diatom species for reverse genetics. The proposed studies will revisit textbook understanding of photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism, and will refine hypotheses about why diatoms dominate in contemporary ocean settings. By placing our studies in evolutionary and ecological contexts, in p

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Collaborative Knowledge Valorisation for Sustainable Nature-Based Solutions' (GreenEsteem).

assistant: **Innovation**

Urgently needed innovation in twin transitions will bring about transformations that significantly impact people's everyday lives. These transitions must be science-based and sensitive to actual societal needs to ensure they realize their full socio-environmental benefits. Implementing an approach that is focused on collaborative knowledge valorisation (CKV) and supports collaboration across the quadruple helix (QH) has a powerful potential of moving such innovations beyond the current state of affairs and achieving much more sustainable and better rooted impact. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have emerged as a promising field where participatory planning and co-design have been experimented with recently, resulting in innovative best practices. These approaches have provided essential experience in uniting local residents, businesses, academia, and decision-makers to enhance green and blue infrastructures in a participatory and inclusive manner. A lack of knowledge, resources, and skills often hinders the maintenance of NBS, affecting ecosystem integrity and the provision of ecosystem services essential for climate change adaptation and mitigation. GreenEsteem builds on and advances best practices in the field of NBS through piloting the co-evaluation and co-design of sustainable NBS in two living labs (Konin & Sofia). Based on pilot outcomes and with strong support of expert groups and national expert roundtables, a comprehensive training program for CKV are established to tackle barriers and skill gaps among QH stakeholders. Strategic roadmaps and events launch and intensify cross-fertilization networks engaged in the green transition.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Memories and wellbeing in post-industrial communities.'.

assistant: **Concept**

MemoWb will address how current uses and different levels of community engagement with industrial heritage contributes to build practices of memory making that in turn impact on communities’ well-being in contexts of deindustrialisation. Through Community-Based Action Research (CBAR), qualitative analysis, and comparison of case studies in Portugal, Spain, and the UK, MemoWb will bring post-industrial communities’ perspectives to the centre of international debates about well-being, heritage and conservation that have taken place on academic and public policy levels. MemoWb will be conducted at the Institute for Social Movements (ISB) of Ruhr University Bochum (RUB, Germany) under the supervision of Professor Stefan Berger, a well-known specialist on the comparative history of deindustrialisation, industrial heritage, and memory. MemoWb will provide me research-based education on CBAR to address underdeveloped themes in industrial heritage studies, such as well-being, and will make post-industrial communities more visible and active in processes of heritage making. Moreover, it will contribute to the international project Deindustrialisation and the Politics of Our Time (DéPOT) to examine communities’ connections with industrial heritage and memory as experiences of deindustrialisation as well as responses to it.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Development of high power density electrical actuators' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The HP-SMART-EMA project will develop and test an innovative concept of extremely light, reliable and smart electrical actuator for control systems of turbine engines that will be capable of interfacing and connecting to the engine / turbine control unit in a plug-and-play manner. This innovative concept of smart electrical actuators will be based on a multi-disciplinary approach that will consider mechanisms, control electronic, control software and power supply in an integrated way, as will be shown in the following subchapters. The main topics that are going to be developed in this proposal are related to the temperature levels and environmental conditions (combustion gas, oxidation) that are the normal aero engine working conditions, and result to be highly demanding for any electromechanical system working under these conditions.
