user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Improving Resilience to Emergencies through Advanced Cyber Technologies'.

assistant: **Concept**

Society as a whole is increasingly exposed and vulnerable to natural disasters because extreme weather events, exacerbated by climate change, are becoming more frequent and longer. To increase the resilience of European citizens and assets to natural disaster we propose I-REACT: Improving Resilience to Emergencies through Advanced Cyber Technologies. The proposed system targets public administration authorities, private companies, as well as citizens in order to provide increased resilience to natural disasters though better analysis and anticipation, effective and fast emergency response, increased awareness and citizen engagement. I-REACT integrates existing services, both local and European, into a platform that supports the entire emergency management cycle. Leveraging on innovative cyber technologies and ICT systems, I-REACT will be able to enable early planning of disaster risk reduction actions, achieve effective preparedness thanks to risk assessment and early warnings, and efficiently manage emergency responses by empowering first-responders with up-to-date situational information and by engaging citizens through crowdsourcing approaches and social media analysis. I-REACT will integrate multiple systems and European assets, including the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS), the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), and European Global Navigation Satellite Systems (E-GNSS), e.g. Galileo and EGNOS.I-REACT will be structured as a user-driven project, integrating the requirements from all main stakeholders as well as the guidelines that emerged during European workshops and seminars related to emergency management. I-REACT services will also enable new business development opportunities around natural disas

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Microdrilling of hard metals' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Precision engineering companies that are drilling and machining components to a very high specification have a strong need for better techniques. In the case of Higar Engineering, a precision engineering company, it is especially important to be able to drill small components and especially those with very hard substrates. For drilling applications it is necessary to be able to drill holes smaller than can currently be achieved. The present state of the art for hole drilling mechanically is about 200u diameter. Even this is difficult to achieve if the substrate is very hard and / or if the thickness to be drilled is greater than about lmm, representing a 5:1 depth to diameter ratio. One objective of this proposal is to be able to drill holes of diameter less than 125u at depths of lmm. The second objective is to be able to drill very hard materials (Rc greater than about 50) with good surface finish.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Low-temperature Anaerobic Digestion treatment of low-strength wastewaters' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

No need for heat! NVP Energy presents the first to market, high-rate AD technology that successfully treats low strength wastewater (WW) at ambient temperatures (4 - 20°C). The low-temperature anaerobic digestion (Lt-AD) process provides a novel solution to Food and Drinks industrial sectors which produce large volumes of WW. The European milk treatment and processing sector alone generates over 367 billion litres annually which is typically treated using conventional aerobic processes. The latter treatment process is unsustainable. It results in high sludge yields, requires a large footprint on-site and is hugely reliant on fossil fuels for aeration. The Lt-AD technology produces negligible sludge volumes, presents a compact design, requires no heat input or biogas recirculation, and produces effluent of urban wastewater directive (UWWD) standard (< 125 mg/L COD) without post-aeration. Comparing Lt-AD to conventional aerobic treatment of WW from a typical dairy processing plant producing 2,000 m3 WW per day, Lt-AD can provide annual OPEX savings of €1,662,106 p.a over a payback period of 2.49 years that includes RHI revenue of €374,176. The low temperature operation of Lt-AD allows for 100% of the biogas produced being available for reuse or resale. Lt-AD also has a high impact on environmental savings through reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and lowered thermal energy and fossil fuels requirements.  This Phase 2 project will allow NVP Energy install and commission a demonstrator plant and gain 8-12 months operational data. The results obtained, in conjunction with ETV assessment, will build the business case for each targeted market channel ahead of commercialisation. Other key project objectives include: commercialisation partner relationship development; promo

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'FAst and energy efficient Learned image and video CompresiON' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The emerging Learned Compression (LC) methods show great potential to revolutionize image/video compression, and major media industries are investing heavily in this field. However, the high computational complexity of these methods makes it difficult to employ them in consumer devices, and this obstacle discourages using them in future compression standards, such as JPEG and MPEG, despite their superior performance compared to traditional methods. This project will investigate a novel framework for developing fast and energy-efficient Deep Learning-based compression. We will develop methods that (1) greatly improve the compression efficiency of LC, and (2) significantly reduce its computational complexity and energy consumption. Given the huge share of video industry in global Greenhouse gas emission, this will be a big step towards important EU policies such as the Paris agreement and the EU Green Deal. The objectives of the project are achieved via: (i) splitting the coding into smaller tasks, (ii) investigating efficient learning methods (including Operational Neural Networks, an invention of the supervisor of the project), and (iii) integrating human perception into image/video coding.The experienced researcher holds a PhD in computer engineering, during which he worked on accelerating the encoding process of compression standards. He has a background and skill-set in hardware engineering, signal processing, media technology, and machine learning, which is necessary for this interdisciplinary project.  The project will be carried out under the supervision of an internationally famous scientist who has extensive experience in both machine learning and video compression. The host institution in Finland has a long experience in EU funding and collaborations with indus

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Fuel cell stack thermal behavior' (FCTHERM-CRO) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The scientific objectives of this project are to investigate thermal behaviour of a fuel cell stack during start-up, steady state and variable power performance, and shut down. More specifically, the objective is to identify spatial and temporal temperature distribution, and their effect on the stack performance. A wider objective of this project is to get Croatian engineers and researchers involved in fuel cells R&D. The proposed research will include both experimental studies and numerical modelling and simulation. In the experimental part, a 1 kW stack will be run in constant and variable power mode with intermittent start-up and shut-down.The temperatures will be measured on several strategic locations on the stack, as well as the temperatures of the gases coming in and out of the stack, including the cooling air. In addition, an infrared, high-resolution camera will be used to monitor temperature changes on the stack surface. Modelling will be conducted on several levels, namely a mass and heat balance model, a 2-D and a 3-D model of coolant air flow in a channel between the two fins, and a comprehensive 3-D model of the stack.The results of experimental measurements will be compared to the results obtained from modelling, and will be used to adjust the modelling parameters and assumptions. It is expected that information obtained on the stack's thermal behaviour will be used to:- suggest improvements in the stack design with respect to heat removal- suggest optimal operational conditions that result in best performance- suggest simplification of the fuel cell supporting system- suggest control actions and mechanisms that may lead to better stack performance.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Leading Towards Sustainable Gender Equality Plans in research performing organisations'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Leading TowaLeading Towards Sustainable Gender Equality Plans in research institutions –  LeTSGEPs – aims at connecting different Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) in the design and implementation of GEPs. The project seeks to design actions and implement measures that will lead to systemic institutional change and address gender bias in RPOs at a very initial stage of gender equality measures implementation. At the same time more experienced partners in GEPs implementation will be included to guide the other partners through  the various steps of the project, following the Gender Equality in Academia and Research GEAR tool developed by European Institute for Gender Equality (2016) and with the scientific support of a highly qualified Scientific Advisory Board. As a powerful instrument of detecting factors that make gender inequality persistent within institutions, besides the Gender Equality Plan, LeTSGEPs will foster the use of Gender Budgeting (GB), since budgets reflect real policy commitments. Gender equality plans and programs will succeed if accompanied with related specific fund allocation for the policy targets, and if the programs enacted are evaluated in terms of their gender equality impact by means of gender budgets leading to what we can define as more sustainable and powerful GEPs. A robust methodological approach, by taking stock from the implementation of Gender Budgeting in RPOs  in order to produce relevant knowledge on the application of gender budgeting in RPOs and its role in making GEPs sustainable will be produced and shared with all partners. For raising institutional awareness on the importance of GEPs and gender budgeting the administrative staff will be actively involved in the training to equip also them with the necessary knowledge f

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Probing Strong Gravity by Black Holes Across the Range of Masses', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Black holes provide a crucial link between Einstein’s theory of gravity and real cosmic objects which astronomers can observe and study in the Universe. This project is oriented towards legacy of the cornerstone XMM-Newton X-ray satellite mission of European Space Agency (ESA) in synergy with relevant data in other spectral domains that are covered by ground-based infrared and radio interferometric techniques at European Southern Observatory (ESO) and elsewhere. Information in different wavelengths will be gathered and explored in order to understand radiation processes in places of strong gravity, near black holes. We will address outstanding questions of determining the black hole spin, measuring the location of the accretion disc inner rim, and revealing connections between inflows and outflows in these objects. To this end we will analyze and interpret multi-wavelength spectral and fast timing information on accreting black holes in compact binaries, in cores of active galactic nuclei, as well as other galaxies exhibiting low level of activity due to intermittent supply of gas from the cosmic environment or by switching to a radiatively inefficient regime. We will include valuable data from archives and complement them by performing new observations where needed. Our main objective is to use and enhance computational tools that the participating groups have been developing over two decades, and to join our effort in a dedicated program of data analysis and science interpretation of the most bizarre cosmic objects. We will rely on unprecedented combination of sensitivity and energy resolution of current X-ray missions of ESA, together with wide spectral coverage by ground-based observatories in ESO and elsewhere. The developed techniques will be highly relevant in th

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'DEVELOPMENT OF PYRETHRE CULTIVATION IN MEDITERRANEAN EUROPE, FOR VALORISATION ON DOMESTIC INSECTICIDE AND PUBLIC HEALTH MARKETS'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Known since antiquity, natural pyrethrins were the first insecticides used by man. Today, because of their total harmlessness to man and domestic animals and their excellent bio-degradability, they remain the reference point as active materials in the field of domestic use, body hygiene, animal health and biological agriculture - all fields where the consumer and EU regulations - encourage the use of 'clean' insecticides, preferably of natural origin. Once a native crop, cultivation of Pyrethrum historically deserted Europe in the middle of the 20th century, in preference for Africa.Today, these African cultivations are threatened because of political instability and/or insufficient productivity. This important market is currently being taken over by Australia which is developing large areas of mechanised cultivation in Tasmania. Europe, for its part, although a high user of these natural insecticides (20 % of the world market), is a the moment lagging far behind since it does not have at its disposal plant varieties adapted to its agro- climatic conditions, nor appropriate and modern cultivation and harvesting methods.It therefore makes sense, in the economic context of the CAP, to fix as an objective the reintroduction to Europe of the cultivation of Pyrethrum, a crop with a high added value, and which is perfectly suited to fallow land and poor and arid land.The present project intends to carry out a significant improvement of the plant, both quantitatively, by closely associating agronomists, chemists and biologists in an integrated research action. The following aims will be set :- to study the action of natural pyrethrins, and especially the comparative activity of the various active principles identified in the plant as well as the possibilities of biological syn

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Chemical compatibility between ceramic cutting tools and workpiece materials' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

The project is concerned with the development of ceramic composite cutting tools with the goal to optimize the chemical compatibility of the cutting tool material with specific workpiece materials such as low-alloy steels. Ceramic composite cutting tools, based on Al203, Si3N4 or ZrO2 will be examined. As toughening phases, a titanium bearing compound will be chosen (titaniumboride, titaniumcarbide and(or) titaniumnitride). Recent work at Leuven has shown that titanium containing ceramics possibly could lead to the formation of a protective diffusion barrier between ceramic and steel. In a first experimental part, new ceramic composites will be produced and characterized with respect to microstructure and basic properties. Their interaction with low-alloy steels will be studied, based on simulations of the machining process by means of static interaction couples. Based on the acquired information, a chemical wear model will be developed, so as to be able to make predictions on the chemical wear resistance of a given ceramic cutting tool when machining an alloyed steel of known composition. The predictive capability of this model should allow intelligent selection of components for a given ceramic system or for conducting and exploration of new systems. Finally, the developed model will be tested by performing actual high speed machining experiments. The project will allow the applicant to broaden her field of experience to the processing of ceramic composites and the measurement of specific properties, while at the same time challenging her skills in the high resolution examination and analysis of materials in the transmission electron microscope.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Transport modelling: towards operational standards in Europe'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The process of integrating transport policies within the enlarged Union is a challenging issue for the new Member States in the coming years. Transport policy tools of the new Member States need to be developed and integrated within the European model tools, to ensure consistency and common understanding of strategic policy issues. In order to achieve a common understanding, best practices in modelling techniques need to be exchanged and disseminated.The high level objective of the MOTOS project is: To support transport policy in Europe, by defining common good practice principles for national and regional transport modelling that satisfy immediate needs of model developers in the new Member States and contribute to the establishment of a standardized approach for transport modelling in the European Union. The MOTOS project puts considerable effort into determining user needs from model developers and policy makers. This user needs analysis is reinforced by targeted workshops in the new member states.
