user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Hybrid liquid crystalline/isotropic block copolymer films' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Research objectives and content It is planned to study ordering phenomena in thin films of hybrid block copolymers with an liquid crystalline block and an isotropic one. Positional order will be probed by x-ray reflectometry (at synchrotron sources and using a rotating anode at AMOLF) and atomic force microscopy. In this way complementary pictures in reciprocal and real space are obtained. In thin films with blocks of about equal size a uniform lamellar structure can be formed. It is proposed to vary the interaction between the LC block and the substrate such that the thin film morphology can be used for nanotechnology. For example, if a nematic LC block can be anchored in a uniform direction parallel to the substrate (a common geometry in nematic LC displays), a parallel orientation of the lamellae could be obtained. By crosslinking one of the blocks and chemically etching away the other one, it would in principle be possible to use the intrinsic block period to obtain nanopatterns. In particular also ferroelectric smectic C* liquid crystalline blocks could be used to obtain possibly switchable nano-patterns. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) The methods mentioned and the concepts of positional and orientational allow for fundamental investigations and practical applications of a wide range of new soft materials. In this sense the post-doc period is expected to be a good basis for a future industrial job in polymer physics. Links with industry / industrial relevance (22) The ability to control and tailor the physical and chemical properties of surfaces is a key to the practical use of (soft) condensed matter. The proposal aims at exploiting tandem interaction between the two intrinsic ordering principles. Quite generally within the framework of

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Calving Law for Ice-Climate Simulations' (CALIX) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Global sea levels will continue to rise as ice sheets shrink in response to climate change, but predictions vary widely on how much ice will be lost in different carbon futures. The single largest source of uncertainty is iceberg calving rates. Calving can cause more rapid ice loss than any other process, but no reliable method currently exists for representing calving in numerical models. CALIX seeks to find and apply the elusive universal calving law, by adopting a radical new approach based on the self-organising nature of glacier systems. The calving law will be formulated using bulk statistical properties of calving events, and will be rooted in both detailed observations and sound theory. The calving law will be implemented in leading ice-sheet models, throughly tested, and used in model run ensembles to determine the most-probable Antarctic Ice Sheet contribution to sea level into the 22nd Century under different mitigation and business-as-usual carbon scenarios. CALIX will address a major knowledge gap in glacier science, and will revolutionise our ability to understand ice-sheet stability, predict ice-sheet response to climate change and anticipate the global consequences.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Cost-Efficient Methods and Processes for Safety Relevant Embedded Systems' (CESAR).

assistant: **Innovation**

The embedded safety-critical systems design and development industry is facing increasing complexity and variety of systems and devices, coupled with increasing regulatory constraints while costs, performances and time to market are constantly challenged.This has led to a profusion of enablers (new processes, methods and tools), which are neither integrated nor interoperable because they have been developed more or less independently, addressing only a part of the complexity issue, such as safety. The absence of internationally recognized open standards is a limiting factor in terms of industrial performance when com-panies have to select among these enablers.CESAR will bring significant and conclusive innovations in the two most improvable systems engineering disciplines:-  Requirements engineering in particular through formalization of multi viewpoint and multi criteria requirements,- Component based engineering applied to design space exploration comprising multi-view/multi-criteria architecture trade-offs.In addition CESAR intends to provide industrial companies with a breakthrough in system development by deploying a customizable systems engineering ‘Reference Technology Plat-form’ (RTP) making it possible to integrate or interoperate existing or emerging available technologies. This will be a significant step forward in terms of industrial performance im-provement that will help to establish de-facto standards and contribute to the standardization effort from a European perspective.Relying on industrial use-cases and scenarios, CESAR is strongly industry driven. It will ad-dress societal safety, mobility and environmental demands from a multi-domain point of view, relying on high maturity inputs (TRL 4) and target high maturity outputs (TRL 6).Quantified objective

user: Describe how 'Science as extended cognition: The role of material culture in scientific reasoning' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Historical and sociological studies show the importance of the material culture of science, including external representations, tools and instruments, and the physical layout of the laboratory. And yet these aspects of science are often assumed to be incidental to scientific reasoning itself. Recent developments in cognitive science challenge this assumption, revealing that many cognitive tasks are performed not by internal thought processes alone, but through skilful exploitation of material representations, tools and the wider environment. In fact, according to the thesis of ‘extended’ cognition, the relationship between internal thought and external objects is sometimes so close that external objects become part of the cognitive process.Using methods from cognitive ethnography, this project will carry out three in-depth empirical studies, each focusing on a particular aspect of the material culture of science. These studies will ask: What is the precise nature of scientists’ interaction with external, material devices? Which, if any, of these interactions might count as extended cognition? The final stage of the project will explore the profound implications of extended cognition for a range of issues in philosophy of science, including the nature of scientific theories and the relationship between science and culture.The project will be highly interdisciplinary, drawing on and contributing to philosophy, cognitive science and history and sociology of science. By offering a new understanding of reasoning in scientific practice, the project will also contribute to wider issues of public concern, such as the role of expertise in policy-making and the nature of science education. In addition, it will significantly enhance the career development of the researcher, allowi

user: Describe how 'Interface engineering of ionic conductor multilayer and cathode nanocomposite thin film oxides' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

European community is investing many resources into renewable energy research to come off the fossil source dependence and to reduce carbon oxide emissions. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell is one of the more promising solutions thanks to its high energy conversion efficiency and fuel flexibility. The industrial expansion of ionic conductors as commercial devices for energy production, oxygen generation or gas sensors, is related to the development of new electrolyte materials with higher ionic conductivity. Recent investigations have demonstrated an important interface effect in multilayer’s thin films with an enhancement of the ionic conductivity of several orders of magnitude. Our project intends to investigate, by a fundamental point of view, the physical and chemical bases that regulate this super ionic behaviour. We propose two different approaches to study this interface effect. The first one consists on designing interfaces parallel to the substrate by multilayer PLD deposition; multilayers will be based on different materials as the mixed ionic electronic conductor La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-δ, or the δ phase Bi2O3 high oxygen ion conductor. The second one employs a nanolithography method to engineer ionic conductor interfaces perpendicular to the substrate which will be formed by ionic conductor YSZ columns embedded in a second thin film. In both strategies the use of different single crystal substrates will permit to tailor film stress tensile or compressive and the relative interface defect formations.  Top class facilities as Titan HTEM and LEIS TOF SIMS will be essential to correlate defect formation, strain and dopant segregation to the interface effect in ionic conductivity enhancement. Nanolithography will be also utilized to design new dense nanocomposite cathodes f

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Vapour phase deposition of metal-organic frameworks with luminescent guests for solid-state lighting and sensing' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline solids with highly regular pores in the nanometre range. Because of their unique properties, MOFs are high-potential candidates for integration with microelectronics. However, current methods for MOF film deposition, a key enabling step in device integration, are incompatible with microelectronics fabrication because of contamination and corrosion issues.The VAPOMOF host group very recently demonstrated the deposition of MOFs via chemical vapour deposition (CVD). This MOF-CVD technique circumvents the above issues and opens up a plethora of opportunities for MOF integration because of compatibility with existing microelectronics fabrication infrastructure.VAPOMOF targets the expansion of the MOF-CVD platform is and its implementation in two application areas:(1) MOF-CVD coatings with encapsulated luminescent guests to enable more efficient and affordable white-light emitting diodes.(2) MOF-CVD coatings with encapsulated responsive luminescent guests for the detection of volatile organic compounds via a change in the emission properties.The combined expertise of the fellow and host ensures the best chance for successfully completing the VAPOMOF objectives in a mutually beneficial manner. In addition, a secondment at a world-leading research centre with close ties to the microelectronics industry will provide insights in industrial needs and standards and a view on valorisation of scientific research.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Design, implementation and testing of an innovative protoype system for surface defect detection and thickness measurement of sole leather' (1998-2002).

assistant: **Concept**

The DEMES research project aims at the optimisation of the shoe sole cutting phase. The study will introduce image acquisition techniques that permit the individuation and characterization of various types of defects on the leather sheet to be cut. Parallel, a system for characterizing thickness unevenness will be conceived. The inquiries will lead to the determination of an actual map" of the leather sheet, which will allow the optimisation of the cutting phase. DEMES foresees the design, implementation and testing of a prototype plant. The success of the research may lead to a superior production quality, productivity increase and waste reduction."

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'An Innovative, Ultra Low Cost, High Performance,  Monolithic Millimeter Wave Imager Module to Increase the Safety of European Citizens' (IMAGINE) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Protecting its citizens from terrorism remains a high priority for the EC. Current SOA security procedures for air travel have significantly improved airport security. The need is now to protect the softer, unprotected areas such as mass transportation systems and hubs which are being targeted with devastating effect (London, Madrid). They are largely unprotected since current security systems are too expensive and too slow. Therefore, there is an urgent need for innovative new security screening technology that can provide a low cost, rapid ‘walk-by’ screening at normal flow rates. Whilst millimetre-wave (mm-wave) technology is the leading technology, cost is a barrier. The critical part of mm-wave systems is the detector module, at a cost of €1125 per pixel, the imager module accounts for 60% of the overall system cost. At present this high cost is due to the cost of semiconductor material and the cost of assembly and tuning to overcome resonance effects.This proposal will develop an innovative solution to reduce mm-wave module cost down to €150. This is clearly ambitious, but with the innovations below we are confident we can be successful:a) Integrating the LNA & detector stages onto a single semiconductor waferb) Developing GaAs semiconductor wafer using mHEMPT epi-layer instead of pHEMTc) Integrating a novel antenna and waveguide into a low cost, injection moulded liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate.This is an extremely challenging project requiring significant scientific knowledge generation and technology development. As an SME we do not have all the in house skills to develop this solution alone and the skills gaps are provided by our RTD performers. Without the research for SME initiative we would not have the financial resources to engage this leading Euro

user: Describe how 'Decoding and targeting the PGE2-MEF2A axis in tumor-associated macrophages' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Inflammation is a complex spectrum of processes whose outcomes range from cell killing to tissue regeneration. In this context, a major goal in immune oncology is the development of treatments that stimulate cytotoxic immunity while limiting repair in the tumor microenvironment (TME), as these approaches have the potential to synergize with available immunotherapies and provide benefit to otherwise resistant patients. Pancreatic cancer is a largely incurable disease, in which aberrant inflammation and profound immune suppression conspire to sustain disease initiation, progression, and immune escape. Accumulating evidence supports the view that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are key orchestrators of the balance between cytotoxicity and regeneration, and thus represent promising therapeutic targets in pancreatic cancer. In MEFHISTO, we aim at elucidating the molecular control, the functional implications, and the therapeutic potential of the PGE2-MEF2A axis, a newly described pathway enabling selective control of inflammatory gene expression in macrophages. By combining advanced genomic analyses in human samples, functional experiments in preclinical models, and mechanistic studies in key cell types, this Proposal will expand our knowledge of the organizing principles of innate immune responses in tumors. The ensuing results may lead to novel combinatorial treatments for diseases, such as pancreatic cancer, that are refractory to immunotherapy.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'COMPACT ULTRAFAST LASER SOURCES BASED ON NOVEL QUANTUM DOT STRUCTURES' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

FAST-DOT aims to implement a new range of ultrafast quantum-dot lasers for critical bio-medical applications. This project will develop portable, low-cost, reliable, highly efficient ultrashort pulse and ultra-broadband tuneable laser sources.  The key technical innovation – quantum dots (QDs) - are based on novel semiconductor nanostructure clusters which demonstrate remarkable new photonic properties.  QD structures will afford major advances in ultrafast science and technology by exploiting the unique combination of QD properties (high optical quality, efficient light generation, ultrafast carrier dynamics and broadband gain bandwidth) at wavelength range which not easily accessible with current technologies. The FAST-DOT consortium brings together a unique and compelling group of world-leaders in the physics of QDs and QD photonic devices, system integrators and biophotonic. This research will realise a full understanding of the underlying ultrafast properties and physics of QD structures and exploit these effects in the construction of novel highly compact, reliable and environmentally-stable sources of ultra-short pulses. The new QD sources will be investigated and validated in a range of bio-photonic applications including OCT; Non-linear Microscopy; Nanosurgery and minimally invasive diagnostics. The availability of compact and inexpensive ultrashort pulse lasers will have widespread impact in uptake by making many applications more affordable and opening up new application areas. The project unites 18 complementary European research groups and companies with international reputations in the development of semiconductor materials and their use in efficient ultra-fast lasers, related applications and marketing. All of the groups have record of collaboration and a

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'The effects of urbanization on INsect diverSity And humaN-nature intEractions'.

assistant: **Concept**

Urbanization, one of the most extreme human-induced landscape changes on Earth, yields an important trade-off between development and biodiversity conservation. Recent research highlights the relevance of considering urban landscape organization (land-sharing or land-sparing development) to advance in this debate. However, there are still few studies on the topic, mostly local, on low diversity areas or focused on few taxonomic groups preventing generalization of results. The lack of research on urban insect diversity is remarkable despite their high economic, social and ecological importance. Human-nature interactions also play a critical role in the debate on how to create nature-friendlier and healthier cities, particularly regarding urban landscape organization. This interdisciplinary project aims to provide novel and useful information to this debate by (1) studying the impact of urbanization on multiple components of insect diversity (taxonomic and phylogenetic) in an understudied hotspot (Mediterranean region); (2) exploring if land-sharing or sparing urban areas hold different insect diversity levels; and (3) investigating the influence of urban landscape organization on subjective wellbeing and extinction of experience, critical for human-nature interactions. A complete methodological approach including classic taxonomic procedures, modern metabarcoding tools, and a solid study design combining spatial, temporal and taxonomic replicates grant the generalization of findings. Furthermore, through the use of innovative machine learning techniques, this project will also provide a useful open-access tool for researchers, city planners and citizens that will predict insect diversity and human-nature interactions in non-sampled urban areas. To do so, I will be traine
