user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Embedded Resonant and ModulablE Self-Tuning Laser Cavity for Next Generation Access Network Transmitter' (ERMES).

assistant: **Innovation**

For the Next Generation Access Network (NGAN) wavelength division multiplexed passive optical networks (WDM PON) appear a promising and suitable solution offering almost unlimited bandwidth similarly to point-to-point links, while allowing the advantages of fibre sharing.It is widely recognized that WDM PON deployment requires colourless Optical Network Unit (ONU) transmitters, so that each user has the same transmitter. Up to now these characteristics has been unsatisfactorily obtained either with a costly tunable transmitter or by exploiting external seeding sources.ERMES proposes a disruptive approach to the ONU transmitter. The breakthrough idea is to use a significant portion of the network to implement an embedded self-tuning modulable laser cavity.This idea is based on establishing a very long cavity laser, which can be directly intensity modulated. The goal is achieved by using a dedicated multifunction active chip (MFAC), which acts as the gain medium of the cavity including: the array waveguide grating (AWG) and a reflector at the remote node (RN), and the distribution fibre connecting the ONU to the RN. After cavity set up, the active chip is directly modulated enabling up-stream up to 10 Gb/s data-rate per user. The development of a MFAC suitable for this application is mandatory to bring ERMES approach from the proof-of-principle stage closer to industrial exploitation.This solution is a potential highly effective alternative to the existing approaches in terms of cost reduction as it is colourless and gets rid of the need for external seeding sources. It is also appealing in terms of achievable performance, as it is not impaired by Rayleigh back-scattering, allowing for longer bridged distances.ERMES success will enforce European industrial leadership in t

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Electrochemical Testing Platform for Advanced Energy Materials' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Throughout history, the Li-ion battery technology has relied on cationic redox reactions as the sole source of energy storage capacity. This is no longer true since 2013, where our group had demonstrated that Li-driven reversible formation of (O2)n peroxo-groups in new layered oxides led to extraordinary increases in energy storage capacity. To fully exploit this discovery we were granted in 2015 an advanced ERC grant entitled ""Anionic redox processes: A transformational approach for advanced energy materials (ARPEMA)"", the goal being to rationalize the fundamental science underpinning this new concept. This calls for new paradigms in characterization techniques to fully track among others the stability of these new compounds as well as the side reactions that they could generate at both electrodes during cycling together with their transport and kinetic properties. To address this critical need we developed a new design test system which enables for monitoring potential, current, temperature, pressure as well as the nature and composition of the released gases together with the impedance built-up at each electrode. Owing to the relative simplicity, high versatility and great reliability of such a new-patented multi-function testing device we anticipate its rapid implementation to various battery technologies. The goal of this project is to develop a proof of concept prototype and a small series production, as well as performing an extensive market analysis and budgeting suppliers, all for establishing an accurate business proposition. This information will be consolidated in a business plan and will be used in the creation of a company together with potential investors. We believe that this device will enable a rapid development of the next generation of high energy

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Comminution dating of glacio-marine sediments in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The geological and climatic history of Antarctica during the Late Quaternary is to a large extent unknown due to the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) cover that limits observations on land, yet this information can be retrieved from the study of the provenance and transport times of terrigenous material in marine sediment cores surrounding the continent, which can be used to reconstruct the history of continental weathering and sediment transport mechanisms and timescales.Here, I propose to implement a novel approach termed “comminution dating”, to determine spatial and temporal changes in the transport time of fine clastic sediments produced by Antarctic subglacial erosion during the Late Quaternary, which is connected to the flux of ice and sediment discharge into the Southern Ocean.I will focus on U-series disequilibrium in detrital material, which is a measure of weathering and transport time. The time elapsed since the initial grinding of the bedrock by glacial abrasion that produces rock flour, including the transport process and age of deposition, is defined as the “comminution age” of the sediment, and is determined by the relative degree of 234U-depletion in the samples.The proposed study builds on exciting new results from the Weddell Sea, where comminution ages and provenance of different grain size fractions of terrigenous material indicate that sediment transport times ranged between tens to hundreds of kyrs and varied on glacial-interglacial timescales. I will study the comminution ages of a large number of glacio-marine deposits at sites throughout the Southern Ocean, and further conduct a comprehensive study of natural and analytical biases on the comminution dating approach. The results will yield a transformative data set that will provide new insights into t

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'DyE SensiTized solar cells wIth eNhanced stabilitY' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The DESTINY initial training network will tackle major challenges in the development of stable dye-sensitized solar cells, DSC. DSC offer exciting possibilities for applications in building integrated photovoltaics and consumer electronics. However they possess a complex structure with disparate materials. For DSC to be marketable and to compete with its inorganic counterparts, fundamental science has to be done to understand the causes of degradation and find ways of enhancing cell and module life time and stability without sacrificing performance and scalability. Ten internationally leading European research groups from six countries [including Dyesol UK, part of Europe’s leading industrial supplier of DSC] have joined forces as full participants with a commercial associated partner, combining expertise in synthetic chemistry, spectroscopy, nanoscale physics and device engineering. Our highly integrated approach to understanding degradation causes and proposing solutions will take a major step towards the commercialization of DSC. This consortium is strongly committed to promote breakthroughs at the frontiers of science and engineering. The training dimension of DESTINY is reflected in the high priority we give to the training of early stage and experienced researchers, ESRs and ERs, through education and knowledge dissemination via Tutorial Courses, Annual Network Meetings, Training Schools, Conferences and Mobility Programmes. The network, with a strong focus on interdisciplinary training, builds on fruitful collaborations between the partners. Development of complementary skills (presentation, management, technology transfer, IP protection) will take place throughout the project lifetime.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'First real-time fact-checking tool to fight against the fake news and disinformation' (NEWTRAL), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

People consume news because they need to be informed about the state-of-the-world and events around them, but 54% of citizens think that there is a serious problem regarding fake news and trust in media has decreased to the lowest-point-ever. It is very difficult for citizens to assess the credibility and veracity of news. On the other hand, citizens’ trust is crucial for news media that look for solutions to fight fake news and increase citizens’ trust. The solution is fact-checking, but fact-checking is a very time-consuming and costly task. Newtral is a startup funded in October 2017 with fact-checking as its core business becoming one of the fact-checking pioneers and the leaders in the EU. +40 people currently work in Newtral researching new ways of producing and distributing data-driven journalism in the digital era, being the biggest professional fact-checking team in the EU. Our team is behind the production of ‘El Objetivo’, the first TV-show (+1M weekly live viewers) in the EU to bring fact-checking to a TV format in prime time. Newtral is also a leading member of the International Fact Checking Network (IFCN), a community of international fact-checkers (51 members) and the only member with a TV show in prime time. ‘El Objetivo’ has been awarded with the “Best Audiovisual journalist fact-checking projects award” by the IFCN. Our ambition is to create a new market by turning professional fact-checking into a scalable and profitable business. Newtral intends to become the gold standard in the fact-checking sector by applying NLP, advance data science methods and AI to the journalism fact-checking work to semi-automate the verification allowing any fact-checking journalist to become a ‘fact-checking centaur’.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'The Distribution and Origin of Spatial Coding across the Brain' (SpaceCode) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

This project will investigate the distribution and origin of spatial coding by recording from large populations of neurons across the brain, using next-generation electrodes developed by the host laboratory. Spatial navigation is a goal-directed task that animals perform daily, and its signals engage a variety of brain systems beyond classical navigational centers such as the hippocampus. I have three aims: (1) to characterize the distribution of spatial signals across the mouse brain, with a focus on sensory regions; (2) to understand how spatial signals interact with sensory signals; (3) to establish whether the spatial signals originate in the hippocampus. The experiments will be performed in mice that navigate virtual environments and will involve next-generation Neuropixels 2.0 probes, capable of recording from hundreds of neurons at a time. First, I will record activity from large populations of neurons across multiple brain regions during virtual navigation and define the interaction of sensory and spatial signals in sensory cortex. Then I will test whether the hippocampus is necessary for spatial coding in visual cortex by manipulating its activity with chemogenetics in transgenic mice. These experiments will provide the first large-scale view of spatial coding across  the mouse brain, characterizing the distribution of spatial signals, their computational role, and their causal origin.I will perform these experiments in the Cortical Processing Laboratory at University College London, led by Professors Matteo Carandini and Kenneth Harris. I am confident I can further develop my skills as an independent researcher while answering exciting scientific questions. Professors Carandini and Harris are experts in conducting large-scale neuronal recordings in mice perfor

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'The development of a deammonification treatment to remove nitrogen from recirculated water used in aquaculture' (DEAMMRECIRC) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aquaculture industry has been very slow to adopt denitrification methods. Present practice is to convert the toxic metabolic waste product ammonia via nitrite to nitrate in a nitrifying bio-filter. This microbial process demands oxygen and reduces the pH, requiring expensive buffering treatment. The accumulating nitrate is generally flushed from the farm into recipient waters without pollutant removal. The DeammRecirc proposal is based on the recent experiences and success of using deammonification to convert ammonia to nitrogen gas in other waste water treatment applications. This method will in the proposed project be adapted for use in recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) for fresh- and marine water species. By using a deammonification reactor within RAS, ammonia will be converted to nitrogen gas in one step. Deammonification bacteria enriched in granules will be adapted to RAS water qualities. The advances compared to current SoA include reduced oxygen use, reduced cost for buffering chemicals, lower carbon footprint, reduced levels of nitrate rich effluent released to the environment, reduced pumping cost and treatment need of new exchange water. The project includes 11 participants, of which four are industrial SMEPs, which will produce, develop and distribute the DeammRecirc system post project, one is a large enterprise end user, one participant is from S. Africa who plans to transfer the technological development to the aquaculture industry to their continent and four are RTD participants, which will be responsible for the RTD work.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'A new integrated bioleaching process for agricultural applications of wastewater sludges' (BIOSLUDGES).

assistant: **Innovation**

This proposed research project concerns the bio leaching of wastewater sludge in order to remove the heavy metals and to use the activated fuel fly ash as stabilizing agent. Various attempts have been made to solubilise heavy metals from sewage sludge using chemical methods. The disadvantages of such technology are often due to the presence of heavy metals in the insoluble sulphide form. The proposed bacterial leaching seems to be more environmentally friend and economically favourable operation. The stabilization/pasteurisation procedure will be carried out using activated carbon fly ash. In fact the mechanical activation of such compounds greatly improve the reactivity characteristics of fly ash and the complete stabilization of sewage sludge is eventually achieved. Texts for agricultural applications will be carried out.

user: Describe how 'Equivariant topology in algebraic geometry' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

In physical sciences, a very challenging problem is the understanding of sudden changes caused by smooth alterations of parameters. For instance, water suddenly boils, or ice melts. The back of the camel breaks suddenly under a load of just one more straw. These abrupt changes are not only present in dynamical systems, but also in biology (e.g. population models, cell growth), and human society (e.g. stock markets). The proposer studies the mathematical theory of these phenomena, namely uses topological methods to understand how global topology forces singularities. The governing notion of global singularity theory is Thom polynomial". The proposer has a strong research record on computing and applying Thom polynomials in various topological settings, eg. differentiable maps, forms, quivers, discriminants. The objective of the proposal is to support the proposer's career development by extending his expertise from {\em topology} to modern geometry and related geometric and algebraic combinatorics. Visiting the Renyi Mathematical Institute in Budapest for a year, doing training and research under the supervision of A. Nemethi (scientist in charge) will significantly develop and widen the competences of the researcher. The equivariant techniques Rimanyi used in the theory of singularities is proposed to be applied in geometrically relevant situations. The two concrete proposed projects are the study of matroid versions of linear Gromov-Witten invariants, and the geometry of natural stratifications on punctual Hilbert schemes of high dimension spaces."

user: Explain how 'Improved damage assessments of parchments' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Parchments in the form of manuscripts, scrolls, charters, book covers etc. belong to the most valuable objects of European cultural heritage. The actual collections are large, present extensive conservation problems and contain important volumes with near-to-fatal damage. At the present no simple assessment system is available to give reliable in formation on the real state of deterioration of parchments. Through the correlation between the observed state of preservation and the measured condition, using complementary non-destructive and micro-analytical assessment, the cooperation between conservators-restorers and researchers will establish an improved visual parchment assessment system including an early warning system to detect latent fatal damages in the parchment structure and a parchment damage atlas which describes all significant damage characteristics.

user: Describe how 'Targeting the purinergic system for disease-modification in epilepsy' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Current epilepsy therapies, based on mediating excitation or inhibition, are ineffective in 30% of patients & have no impact on disease progression, demonstrating an urgent need for new therapies. Mounting evidence showed the therapeutic potential of targeting the purinergic system during epilepsy with the disease-modifying effects observed via targeting the P2X7 receptor & Adenosine kinase (ADK) being a promise. P2X7 & ADK are increased in the brain in experimental models of epilepsy and in patient brain. Further, data showed anticonvulsive & anti-epileptogenic potential of targeting P2X7 or ADK. To advance these findings towards a clinical application, results must be replicated in animal models mimicking closer the human condition (e.g.TBI model) and effects must be tested in human cells (hiPSC). Importantly, while there is now compelling evidence demonstrating the therapeutic potential of targeting both P2X7 & ADK separately, a combined treatment, targeting both simultaneously, may lead to better seizure control & suppression of epilepsy. By using relevant animal models of epilepsy and hiPSC, EpiPurines will establish the disease-modifying potential of targeting different components of the purinergic system during epileptogenesis, thereby establishing P2X7 & ADK-targeting as potential treatment for epilepsy. To achieve this, EpiPurines brings together, for the first time, a team of experts in purinergic signaling from different research fields (Adenosine & ATP-signalling) & industrial partners. This highly interdisciplinary & intersectoral approach will contribute significantly to the understanding of purinergic signalling during seizures & epilepsy providing novel therapeutic approaches. The skills acquired during the research project, the excellent training record
