user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Hybrid Practices of Diplomacy and Warfare' (DIPLOWAR) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

DIPLOWAR is an interdisciplinary research project that uses practice theory to illuminate the changing relationship between diplomacy and warfare. The central conceptual move of the project is to conceive of diplomacy and warfare not primarily as political or legal relations between states but as structuring principles of peaceful and violent political practices. This reconceptualization allows integrating insights from the literatures on the ‘new diplomacy’ and the ‘new wars’ which so far have not been brought into a dialogue. Through an explorative study of foreign policy decision-making in the United States and Germany from 1945 to the present, the project will demonstrate that practices of diplomacy and warfare which once were neatly separated have increasingly formed hybrid constellations. As a result, we are today confronted with a situation in which neither diplomacy nor war can be clearly grasped at the level of inter-state relations anymore. DIPLOWAR seeks to both sharpen our analytical vocabulary and deepen our empirical understanding of these processes of hybridisation to help scholars, practitioners, and the public to come to terms with the new realities of war and peace. The outgoing phase of the project will be hosted by the Arnold A. Saltzman Institute for War and Peace Studies at Columbia University, New York, the return phase by the Faculty of Social Sciences at Goethe University Frankfurt.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Laser-induced Nanostructures as Biomimetic Model of Fluid Transport in the Integument of Animals' (LiNaBioFluid).

assistant: **Innovation**

The integument of an animal body has various functions, which are often achieved by specific micro- and/or nano- hierarchical structures. Examples are the very low water friction and air retention of water spiders or the swim fern of salvinia and the outstanding adhesion properties of geckos. In this project, we will employ advanced laser-processing strategies based on self-organization, to mimic the specific topography and the excellent wetting properties of the integument of bark bugs and moisture harvesting lizards resulting from adaptations to their environment. Flat bark bugs darken during rain fall due to a super-wettable body surface with capillaries out of which water spreads onto plain areas of the bug. For moisture harvesting in lizards wettability takes place in opposed direction, i.e. from plain areas into a capillary network on the skin. A fast and directional transport results from a special geometry of capillaries. Thus as general objective we want to test whether both effects, i.e. fast capillary transport (lizard) and liquid spreading onto plain areas (bark bugs), can be combined by optimized structures with hierarchical geometry. The outcome of this innovative biomimetic exploitation of wetting effects is expected to lead to a radically new technological approach of laser-generated surface textures on micro- and nanometer scale. Especially for control of friction and wear in liquids, leveraging new results can be expected, e.g. for developing slide bearings. The extension of surface structures over large areas is feasible. Thus, laser-fabrication of biomimetic surfaces with extreme wetting properties can be also anticipated in further applications, e.g. lubrication, water and oil separation, reduced drag in underwater applications, high power device co

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'FLUSENSOR - innovative, ultra-sensitive, fast and cheap micro-test to detect influenza virus' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Influenza is one of the most common viral infectious diseases and a significant source of incidence and deaths in numerous regions of the world. The influenza virus, thanks to its adaptation capacities, is one of the most dangerous pathogens in the world. According to the World Health Organization estimations, each year 330 m to 1,575 bn people contract influenza, 3 to 5 m of them suffer from acute symptoms, and 500 thousand to 1 m people die.Despite the growing importance of diagnostics offered by the modern medicine and greater diagnostic possibilities, the need to create an inexpensive and user-friendly test to detect the influenza virus, with a high-sensitivity and a result ready within a few minutes, has not been fulfilled yet.Project Leader, Dawid Nidzworski, PhD, a young Polish scientist has proven, within the framework of a grant from the Foundation for Polish Science – VENTURES FNP, that it is possible to develop an innovative biosensor to detect all serotypes of the influenza virus.For his discovery, he received: The Award of the Minister of Science and Higher Education for international achievements in inventions in 2013 and the Gold Medal with honours at the International Warsaw Invention Show in Warsaw – IWIS 2013, to name just a few.The results obtained from laboratory tests, which indicate the sensitivity of the biosensor comparable to the molecular methods and a short time of analysis, are a starting point for research and development leading to the Subject of the Project – the development of the prototype of FLUSENSOR, a micro, ultra-sensitive and ultra-fast test to detect all serotypes of the influenza virus.As part of the Project, an application for reading the result on mobile devices and software to collect and analyse data from the readers and mobi

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Vision for Innovative Transport'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The VIT project (Vision for Innovative Transport) is about the development of computer vision technologies for an innovative system for intermodal shipment of containers and swap bodies named Metrocargo. Currently contain-ers are only shipped by complete trains from point A to point B, because they loaded vertically, which cannot be done on the regular railway track under the electric feeding line. Trains must be shunted to loading yards using diesel traction, loaded, brought back to the electrified line with diesel locomotives, have the electric locomotive attached and the brakes checked. These operations are time consuming and costly. Metrocargo loads and unloads trains horizontally on the regular railway track in less than on hour. In the Metrocargo vision a network of terminals, connected by scheduled freight trains, will be set up all over the European territory. Containers will be transferred from one train to another, as it happens to passengers, and carried by lorry to their final destination. In the next few years 8-10% of current long distance road traffic can be transferred to rail, with comparable deliv-ery time and lower costs. To finalize the design of the Metrocargo equipment vision systems need to be devel-oped to assure precise handling, verification of train composition and plant safety and security.  The VIT research program will respond to such needs and give the SME participants market-ready and pat-entable know-how . The scientific and technological objectives are the study, design and development of (i) a robust and redundant vision system for precise positioning of the lifting units for automatic load/unload, (ii) vision functionalities to check the correctness of train loading, (iii) an innovative prototype of a low-cost 2D visual mod-ule to sca

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Adaptive strategies for mate choice and aggression in the face of uncertainty'.

assistant: **Objectives**

BACKGROUND In interactive contexts (e.g. mate choice, aggression), individuals face a great deal of uncertainty over the behaviour of others. This makes decision-making difficult, because the best thing to do depends critically on the make-up of the social environment and the strategies others adopt. Current theory is poorly equipped to deal with these decisions because it typically assumes that individuals have perfect knowledge of the situation in which they find themselves, including the states of others with whom they interact. OBJECTIVES My project will investigate the evolution of behavioural strategies for dealing with uncertainty, focusing on aggression and mate choice. This will require an interdisciplinary approach, integrating economic concepts traditionally used in behavioural ecology with a more psychological perspective. STRATEGY To achieve this goal I will combine theory with empirical work and collaborate with world-leading researchers with the relevant expertise. In the outgoing phase, I will study aggressive behaviour in real animals to test novel predictions of my earlier models on uncertainty, running tests on captive zebra finches and examining patterns of aggression in data from humans. In the return phase, I will develop new models of mating behaviour that explicitly consider the uncertainty inherent in systems of mutual choice, using a Bayesian approach. RELEVANCE The project will considerably enhance my international, interdisciplinary research experience and train me specifically in the use of longitudinal databases for understanding behavioural development. With expert mentoring and a Personal Career Development Plan, this new knowledge and training will boost my professional development as an independent research scientist. At the same time,

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'A Panchromatic Approach to Unlocking the Transient Radio Universe' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The project presented in this proposal aims to develop a rapid response system for the new generation of radio telescopes. This system will automate interactions with astronomical facilities operating over the whole range of the electromagnetic spectrum in order to quickly process their transient alerts and trigger radio follow ups. This feature will make a significant contribution to the field of time-domain radio astronomy which is facing the challenge of exploring a new area of research parameter space. Indeed, very few radio transients have been detected so far their properties are poorly known. Hence, detecting them with radio telescopes will be facilitated by using a panchromatic approach.Key to the success of multi-wavelength monitoring, especially when it comes to fast transients, is the rapidity at which follow-ups can be executed. In this respect, my project will specifically focus on the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), which is a revolutionary radio telescope array able to observe in multiple directions of the sky simultaneously and reconfigure its pointing via software within seconds. By including an automated systems to LOFAR that connects it to other observatories, my work will enable us to achieve unprecedented response times to monitor transients. One of the goals of my project is to implement a new sub-band feature to the transient buffer board system of LOFAR which will allow to ""virtually"" re-point the telescope for up to a minute back in time. With such loop back feature, it is possible to think that almost no fast transient alerts will be missed in a near future.Two main scientific projects will be conducted in parallel to the technical achievements performed under the implementation of the rapid response system: the search for prompt radio emission

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Development of novel Disinfection Technologies for Fresh Produce'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project (DiTec) will respond to a requirement identified by the industry to coordinate and reinforce European research in sustainable cleaning and disinfection technologies of fresh produce. DiTec will result in a series of key innovations on disinfection technologies, which will address the impact of these new technologies on safety and shelf-life improvement of bean sprouts and fresh-(cut) lettuces. The overall objective of this project is to develop the new environmental friendly disinfection technologies of assisted ultrasound and the in-package cold atmospheric plasma for the fresh produce industry. The proposed disinfection technologies will be assessed for their potential to reduce pathogens (i.e., E. coli O157:H7, E. coli O104:H4, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp), retain quality properties and increase the shelf life of fresh produce. The effectiveness of these technologies will be optimised based on sound mathematical modelling approaches. Potential future commercialisation of products processed by novel technologies requires a toxicological risk assessment which will be implemented using non-carcinogenic functional cell models. The applied disinfection technologies are expected to stand as replacements for chlorine therefore the outputs of this project will be communicated to SMEs and scaling-up approaches for industrial applications will be discussed during dissemination activities. This project will undertake an active role in coordinating the demonstration of the research findings which will contribute to set-up necessary infrastructure for application of disinfection technologies on an industrial scale. This will be achieved through collaboration with the Maltese and European SMEs.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Languages in a network of European excellence'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The general aim of LINEE is to investigate linguistic diversity in Europe in a coherent and interdisciplinary way, by developing an innovative, visible and durable scientific Network that can overcome fragmentation and serve as a world-wide quality and knowledge-based reference framework. In particular, LINEE aims to integrate and embed the research and structural capabilities of the partners, exchanging and consolidating good scientific and managerial practices by staff relocation/rotation, training and other activities.The research space would be re-defined through the development of new methodological and theoretical platforms, that can serve as benchmarks for a concept of New Multilingualism". The "vertical" Thematic Areas will be integrated by "horizontal" levels of analysis that take into account the dynamics of European integration, while a Portal based on a knowledge-management system should relate in a semantic and cultural web the data and information gathered through research. Because of bridge-building between theory and practice, a focus on conflict neutralisation mechanisms and the dissemination of reliable knowledge to the scientific community and other actors dealing with policy issues, LINEE would also have a strategic impact potentially contributing to the maintenance of peace and democracy in Europe.While specific importance is attached to participation from the new Member States, the Network is expected to raise the visibility and profile of linguistic diversity throughout Europe and beyond. LINEE is fully or contextually relevant to all the core and specific objectives of Topic 3.1.1 "Linguistic diversity in a European knowledge-based society", as well as to the Research Area general objective. It is also relevant to the dimensions of priority 7 "Ci

user: Describe how 'Exploring the Unexplored with a Crawling Soft Robot' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

I envision a new era for crawling robots capable of autonomously navigating complex environments. Nature's crawling experts, such as snakes, seamlessly combine body deformation and frictional interactions to achieve diverse locomotion patterns in dynamic habitats. Despite significant progress in mimicking their morphing behavior, current crawling soft robots lack versatility and autonomy, often underperforming due to a limited understanding and utilization of frictional interactions with their surroundings.In the METABOA project, I will investigate and quantify the fundamental mechanisms of friction in snake-inspired soft robotic locomotion by advancing the state of the art on three fronts:- Dynamic friction modulation through body-skin morphing: I will integrate origami and kirigami metamaterials into the robot's design, enabling coordinated movements and frictional adjustments at the robot-ground interface.- Enhanced environmental awareness through friction perception: I will incorporate integrated acoustic and vibration sensing mechanisms that maintain structural flexibility and uninterrupted contact states to measure body deformation and frictional interactions in real-time,- Friction-informed, bioinspired control and learning: I will develop a bioinspired neural controller that generates adaptive gaits and learns new sensorimotor behaviors, leveraging heightened environmental awareness to enable the robot to adapt to dynamic terrains.By synthesizing these three aspects, I aim to establish foundational design principles that will enable the creation of next-generation crawling soft robots with unparalleled adaptability and agility for navigating challenging environments. This groundbreaking approach paves the way for a new frontier in robotic locomotion, exploiting
