user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Fish community structure and ecosystem properties in a global change context' (FISHECO).

assistant: **Concept**

Humans are modifying the composition of biological communities through habitat loss and resource depletion (fishing). Changes in biota may have even greater effects on ecosystem properties than changes in abiotic parameters. However, the vast majority of studies dealing with the relationship between the composition of ecological communities and ecosystem functioning have concentrated on relatively simple systems (primary producers), have investigated at small scales (experiments) and have only considered the number of species to describe ecological communities. Time has come to shift towards (i) the study of complex systems (high trophic levels), (ii) large scale investigations and (iii) descriptors of ecological communities that take into account the role of organisms in ecosystems. The FISHECO fellowship aims at providing a high level training as well as a boost for career development to a promising full professor of 38 years old who has the ambition to lead research projects on the relationships between fish community structure and coastal ecosystem functioning within a context of global change. The Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, and more particularly Pr. Bellwood, has been very influential worldwide on this research topic. The originality of Prof Bellwood’s approach is to consider the functional role of fish species in assessing the link between community structure and ecosystem functioning (eight publications in Science or Nature). While Europe has a long tradition of excellence in fishery science (fish as a food resource) Pr. Mouillot will work on the overlooked role of fish in ecosystems. This fresh view would bring fundamental shifts in coastal management strategies. After training two years using fish communities on coral reefs as a case study, th

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Fostering Energy Efficiency and BehAvioural Change through ICT' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The objectives of the FEEdBACk project are to develop, integrate and trial a wide range of energy focused ICT and behaviour modification applications, that will be used to engage energy users and permit them to understand and change their energy consumption related behaviour in three different built environments (Office/Research Labs, Schools, Domestic smart homes) in three climatic settings (northern Portugal, Mediterranean Spain, and northern Germany). The consortium, from seven EU countries, that has been assembled to deliver FEEdBACk consists of highly experienced research organisations in the energy area; three SMEs that specialise in e-learning digital communication applications targeted at behaviour change and in building energy data gathering and representation to managers and users; and three organisations that own and manage buildings, schools and public and private dwellings, who are committed to lowering and making more sustainable their energy use. The development of this broad spectrum of energy related applications and the utilisation of next generation gamification techniques, tested in such a wide range of built environments has not been attempted before. The outputs from the project will enable accelerated commercialisation, by a wide range of innovative SMEs, within and outside the project consortium, of the tools that will help building owners and stakeholders to understand and reduce their energy consumption. The demonstration of the results of the FEEdBACK project will be valuable for Technical & Market planning for the EU energy industry. The FEEdBACK’s ambition is to enable a wide range of companies to incorporate or integrate elements of the applications and the behaviour change components, thereby making their products more competitive and succ

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Understanding the integration of body schema in the cortical representations of space during tool use' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

When walking with a cane, a blind person can localize the objects they touch. Tool-based sensing requires the brain to combine sensory signals at the hand and proprioceptive information together with knowledge of the physical properties of the tool. To correctly interpret the signals sensed with a tool, the brain incorporates the tool in its internal representation of the body in space, known as the body schema. However, the neuronal basis for integrating somatosensory with the body schema information is largely unknown. I hypothesize that feedback projections from higher cortical areas involved in body schema shape cortical somatosensory processing to create a spatial representation of touch. I propose to tackle this question at the cellular and circuit levels by introducing the mouse as a model organism. Mice use their whiskers to effectively localize objects in space, yet the whiskers themselves lack mechanoreceptors. Here, I will record neuronal activity in the somatosensory cortex (S1) using two-photon imaging while presenting mice with objects at different locations in a two-dimensional horizontal plane. From my preliminary experiments, I found that individual layer 2/3 neurons in S1 have preferences for different spatial positions. Using optogenetics, I will test the impact of feedback projections from the body schema network on the spatial representation in S1. Finally, I will employ a prosthetic whisker designed in the host lab to vary the physical parameters of the mouse whisker. This experimental design will allow exploring the consequences of a mismatch between the body schema and the actual physical properties of the tool used in the cortical representation of space. Through the development of a prosthetic whisker, this proposal aims to leverage the mouse m

user: Explain how 'Fine scalE forAging Strategies of grey seals in relation to their biotic and abiotic environmenT' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Pinnipeds play a top predators key role in top-down processes and are considered bio-indicators of the health of marine ecosystem. Therefore, quantifying their foraging activity and energy expenditure in relation to rapidly changing marine environments is crucial for assessing these roles. However, gathering concurrent information on the movements, prey acquisition and environment of these cryptic species is a real challenge. In FEAST, I will, for the first time, combine the use of acceleration and acoustic data to quantify the links between pinnipeds foraging decisions and energetics with 3-D prey distribution, environmental features and anthropogenic activities using grey seals as model species. FEAST will (I) validate the use of acoustic and movement recording tags (D-Tags) on grey seals to detect feeding events, (II) quantify grey seals’ fine scale foraging activity and energy budgets to investigate how they optimize resource acquisition, (III) assess the influence of the abiotic & biotic environments as well as anthropogenic activities on their foraging activity, (IV) estimate prey type and field densities using active acoustic D-Tags as onboard echosounders. Thus, I will use, for the first time on pinnipeds, DTAGs which are central to the Host lab at Aarhus University and are the most advanced tagging technology in the field of marine mammal research. The originality and innovative aspects of FEAST lies at the intersection of bioacoustics, cutting edge engineering tools, signal processing, ecology and physiology to determine foraging optimization in free-ranging, wild marine animals. In accomplishing FEAST objectives, I will provide an unprecedented understanding of the sensory ecology of a large marine predator in habitats facing increased human encroachment, whi

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'AN INNOVATIVE DIAGNOSE TOOL FOR EUROPEAN FARM MACHINERY REPAIRERS' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project proposed to transfer on to the European market of farm machinery an innovative tool for tractors engine diagnosis called BED (Banc d'Essai Diagnostic) in French or (Diagnose Testing Bench). Users of BED are the European SMEs repairing farm machinery involved at this stage as project partners by the French National small size enterprises federation of farm machinery repairers (FNAR). Recipients of BED will be European farmers who will make substantial fuel savings and are involved at this stage as a project partner by the French national federation of farm machinery users co-operatives (FNCUMA). Farmers will not individually buy BED but will go to the repairer shop and ask for tests.As there are plans to implement a compulsory control of engines pollution as soon as 1997: BED makes a breakthrough towards the definition of standards for engines operation diagnosis and makes possible an efficient control of engines by better tuning. BED increases the diagnostic capacity of farm machinery repairers thanks to an innovative expert system that analyses the function of the engine, compares it with the standard characteristics of brand new tractors and detects bad tuning and parts to be changed. BED has been developed since 1990 both by Cemagref, the French institute for agricultural and environmental engineering research and Perfagri, a private consultancy company.Implementation is planned to take place in 4-5 other French regions identified by FNAR, and in 2-3 other EU regions. Thorough testing in real conditions will be performed in region Bretagne. The main participants at this stage will be (1) users such as repairers unions who will implement the demonstration in the field, (2) Perfagri who will provide user training, consultancy service and manage the ultimat

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'OPerando analyses and modelling of INterface dynamics and CHARGE transport in lithium-ion batteries' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Battery innovation has played a major role in the development of new energy production & transport technologies, becoming true enablers of a clean, affordable and secure energy economy. However, innovation is currently being hindered by the lack of understanding of the processes happening at atomic levels in the batteries' interfaces and interphases. Thus, the OPINCHARGE consortium aims to develop a set of effective operando nanoanalytical techniques and methodologies to understand the interfacial processes in batteries in unprecedented level of detail. For this, 10 organizations from 7 different countries will work together, combining their expertise and infrastructure, to find new ways of addressing this challenge. This will be fostered through 3 main pillars of technique innovation: chemical-based, isotope-based, and physics-based. Consequently, main techniques to be addressed operando will be: X-ray scattering, enhanced Raman, STEM-EELS & EDX, FIB-SIMS, Neutron imaging, OEMS and NMR. Parallelly, the consortium will integrate AI/Machine Learning support, in order to improve data acquisition and analysis, making the data crunching processes more efficient and meaningful. Likewise, data treatment and sharing are cornerstones of the project, as Open Science practices and scientific collaboration with the community are recognized by the consortium as key aspects of the BIG-MAP objectives of the Batteries partnership and 2030+ programmes. With a 36 month duration, the project is divided in 7 work packages distributed among the partners according to their expertise, with LIST as leader of the consortium. Dissemination, exploitation and communication activities will allow to maximize the impact of the results and the outreach of these, by actively promoting the diffusion of

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'The consolidation of systems biology research – stimulating the widespread adoption of systems approaches in biomedicine, biotechnology, and agri-food' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Concept**

Systems biology is still considered a young discipline in the field of life sciences. It integrates mathematics, chemistry, physics, informatics, engineering and other fields in biological research. The fragmentation of the discipline concerns all levels of the field: (i) It confronts researchers with a new combination of knowledge, methods, skills and expertise from different disciplines. (ii) It challenges funders overcome obstacles hindering cross organisational funding - across national boarders. (iii) It dares policymakers set goals outside the limits of preconceived structures. It is the interdisciplinary that makes collaboration imperative - on all levels. Therefore the ERASysBio+ partners firmly believe that systems biology offers the ideal vehicle to implement pan-European collaboration in order to overcome the still success limiting fragmentation within systems biology. The aim of this proposal is to implement a large transnational call enabling transnational, collaborative research projects in systems biology research. The funding organisations represented by this consortium are aiming to i.) jointly pave the way for systems biology research to interact outside the boundaries set by national regulations, ii.) widen the landscape beyond that of well established groups and contribute to integrating groups from regions where the systems approach and its funding are only just emerging. The ERA-NET-Plus instrument is the only instrument to effectively combine national and European funding efforts in a efforts in a joint funding measure achieve the abovementioned ambitious goals. .

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Development of an innovative gene therapy platform to cure rare hereditary muscle disorders', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The objective of MYOCURE is to develop an innovative gene therapy platform to cure rare hereditary muscle disorders, specifically focusing on myotubular myopathy (MTM) and glycogen storage disorder (GSD) type II. These are attractive diseases for gene therapy since they compromise a diverse family of rare genetic diseases typically caused by single gene defects that often provoke significant morbidity and mortality due to skeletal muscle, cardiac and/or diaphragm dysfunction. There are no effective cures and current treatment is suboptimal. MYOCURE focuses specifically on overcoming the key bottlenecks that hamper muscle-directed gene therapy by (i) boosting gene transfer using muscle-specific adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV) generated de novo by directed molecular evolution (ii) increasing expression by using robust computationally designed muscle-specific promoters that are 400-fold more efficient than the state of the art, allowing the use of lower and thus safer therapeutic vector doses (iii) minimize undesirable immune reactions against the vector, gene-modified muscle cells and therapeutic proteins. The efficacy and safety of this advanced therapy medical product (ATMP) will be validated in preclinical MTM and GSD II animal models. A scalable manufacturing process will be developed for subsequent toxicology studies and an orphan drug designation will be applied for. MYOCURE will consolidate a roadmap towards clinical development and economic valorisation and maximize dissemination to the relevant stakeholders. The outcome of MYOCURE will constitute the basis of a Phase I gene therapy clinical trial in MTM and GSD patients consistent with the IRDiRC objectives to provide 200 therapies for rare disease by 2020. MYOCURE applies to 'PHC14 New Therapies for Rare Di

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'GREEN-PATHS: European Knowledge Hub On Just Transition Pathways' (GreenPaths) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

GreenPaths addresses the complex and multi-dimensional nature of the planned transition. Based on an enhanced understanding of key issues and challenges influencing the transitions and an in-depth review and synthesis of the latest and most relevant research, GreenPaths will enable the development and adoption of more coherent and effective policy strategies and instruments, furthering the positive outcomes and reducing the negative impacts on environmental sustainability and social well-being. To improve the design, governance and implementation of transition strategies, GreenPaths pays particular attention to the European Green Deal, the Fit for 55 package, and the actions funded by the Just Transition Fund and the European Social Fund+. Key objectives include: 1) mapping and explaining links between policies, environmental sustainability and social well-being; 2) identify and assess indicators and tools to analyse interactions between climate interdependencies, environmental sustainability and social well-being; 3) develop systemic, in-depth and innovative understandings of green transition policies and approaches vis-à-vis social impacts and trade-offs; 4) offer new insights into the relevance and significance of institutional, regulatory and legal frameworks affecting the green transitions; 5) produce policy recommendations for desirable changes in European and national policies through a multi-stakeholder backcasting approach and the participatory design of lighthouse projects and facilitate an enhanced civil society-stakeholder-policy dialogue on green transition pathways. These objectives will be achieved by the well positioned, consortium with long experience on the topic through a comprehensive mixed-methods approach, to be tested and grounded in a series of c

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Fundamental and Applied Science using Two Dimensional Angstrom-scale capillaries' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

I will construct and apply next generation capillary devices as an exciting experimental platform to enable ground-breaking investigation of structure and dynamics of water at the ultimate molecular scale. These devices are in a lab-on-a-chip type configuration with angstrom-scale channels and atomically smooth walls. I am making them by scrupulous assembly tools in a controllable and reproducible fashion and they are extremely stable. Myself and my team will assemble capillaries of a few microns in length, by sandwiching two blocks of layered crystals, e.g., mica, graphite, boron nitride, separated by an atomically thin 2D-crystal spacer. Inside these channels, we will image water condensation along with simultaneous structure analysis by spectroscopy, under in-situ (temperature, pressure) environments. Another key aim of the project is to produce 2D slit-like pores on a large scale by slicing the pre-made 2D capillaries using sharp diamond knives, and explore their applications in size selective separation and biomolecular translocation. This ambitious research program is only possible because of my extensive angstrom-scale fabrication expertise, coupled with world leading fabrication capabilities at the University of Manchester.Objectives 1: To utilize angstrom-scale capillaries constructed out of two-dimensional (2D) materials as a versatile platform for studying confinement effect on structure and dynamics of water. 2: To construct new types of angstrom-scale 2D-pores from these capillaries for studying size-selective molecular separation, biomolecular sequencing and translocation. The project will have a lasting impact in understanding what the angstrom-scale confinement offers in terms of active control of molecular transport. Such confinement effects are efficie
