user: Describe how 'Photonic Structural Materials with Controlled Disorder' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Structural colour reflected by photonic materials is typically attributed to highly ordered nanostructures with periodicities on the 100-nm length scale. When investigating structural colour in animals and plants, it is however becoming increasingly evident that brilliant photonic colour can also arise from seemingly disordered morphologies. This is surprising as uncontrolled disorder in photonic materials usually severely degrades their colour response. While some recent theories exist, the emergence of structural colour from disordered morphologies is fundamentally not understood.  It is clear however that these disordered morphologies must possess ""hidden correlations"", which enable the formation of a photonic band gap.This project will uncover the design rules that underlie disordered photonic morphologies, thereby contributing to the fundamental understanding of photonic materials.  The project has a strong nature-inspired component, but will go beyond the examination of natural photonic materials. WP1 and WP2 will examine 3D and 2D disordered photonic morphologies in animals and plants, respectively.  The structural analysis of these materials will uncover hidden correlations in seemingly random morphologies.  WP2 and WP3 will manufacture materials that implement these correlations to recreate the optical signatures of the biological model organisms.  This will test the statistical analysis of WP1 and WP2 and shed light on the \textit{in vivo} synthesis of the disordered photonic morphologies.  WP4 ties WP1-WP3 together by performing optical experiments and computer simulations.  By analysing both the far- and near-field results of the simulations and comparing them with the structural correlations and optical experiments, the  four WPs will not only provide a f

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'European Integration, Populism and European Cities' (EUROPOPULISM).

assistant: **Concept**

Why is it so difficult to achieve further European political integration? This question motivates the first part of the project. The standard approach in economics presumes that integration of countries reflects a tradeoff between economic benefits and the cost of cultural heterogeneity. To assess this tradeoff, we exploit survey data to quantify cultural heterogeneity within and between EU countries, comparing it to the US. We also investigate time variation, to assess whether economic integration led to cultural convergence. Finally, exploiting regional variation, we seek to identify a cultural core and compare it to the economic core of the EU. We conjecture the following conclusion: although European economic integration has not led to cultural convergence, the primary obstacle to integration is not cultural heterogeneity per se, but the presence of other barriers, such as national identities or national institutions, which amplify its effects.The second part of the project studies the causes and implications of two related phenomena: the diffusion of nationalism and of political populism, with behavioral voters. We study nationalism as endogenous identification with one’s nation, and analyze how it interacts with political institutions and political processes in a setting of international policy coordination. We study populism as due to the reaction of disappointed voters who behave according to Prospect theory. Our main goal is to explain these behavioral phenomena, and to derive predictions about the effect of institutional reforms.The third part of the project examines Europe in the very long run. It studies the formation of clusters of creative élites within Europe, in a historical perspective. The main goal is to explain how local self-government institutions

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Studies in Harmonic Analysis and Discrete Geometry: Tilings, Spectra and Quasicrystals' (HARMONIC), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

This proposal is concerned with several themes which lie in the crossroads of Harmonic Analysis and Discrete Geometry. Harmonic Analysis is fundamental in all areas of science and engineering, and has vast applications in most branches of mathematics. Discrete Geometry deals with some of the most natural and beautiful problems in mathematics, which often turn out to be also very deep and difficult in spite of their apparent simplicity. The proposed project deals with some fundamental problems which involve an interplay between these two important disciplines.One theme of the project deals with tilings of the Euclidean space by translations, and the interaction of this subject with questions in orthogonal harmonic analysis. The PI has recently developed an approach to attack some problems in connection with the famous conjecture due to Fuglede (1974), concerning the characterization of domains which admit orthogonal Fourier bases in terms of their possibility to tile the space by translations, and in relation with the theory of multiple tiling by translates of a convex polytope, or by a function. A main goal of this project is to further develop new methods and extend some promising intermediate results obtained by the PI in these directions.Another theme of the proposed research lies in the mathematical theory of quasicrystals. This area has received a lot of attention since the experimental discovery in the 1980's of the physical quasicrystals, namely, of non-periodic atomic structures with diffraction patterns consisting of spots. Recently, by a combination of harmonic analytic and discrete combinatorial methods, the PI was able to answer some long-standing questions of Lagarias (2000) concerning the geometry and structure of these rigid point configurations.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Smooth dynamics via Operators, with Singularities'.

assistant: **Concept**

The ergodic theory of smooth dynamical systems enjoying some form of hyperbolicity has undergone important progress since the beginning of the twenty first century, in part due to the development of a new technical tool: anisotropic Banach or Hilbert spaces, on which transfer operators have good spectral properties. Very recently, such tools have yielded exponential mixing for dispersing (Sinai) billiard flows (i.e. the 2D periodic Lorentz gas), which are the archetypal smooth systems with singularities.  We will study other challenging natural systems, mostly with singularities, by using functional analytical tools, in particular transfer operators acting on anisotropic spaces (including the new ""ultimate'"" space introduced recently, which combines desirable features of several existing spaces), and revisiting the Milnor-Thurston kneading theory to obtain nuclear decompositions in low regularity.  Goals of the project include:-Thermodynamic formalism for the Sinai billiard maps and flows (2D periodic Lorentz gas), in particular existence and statistical properties of the measure of maximal entropy.-Intrinsic resonances of Sinai billiard maps and flows (2D periodic Lorentz gas) via the dynamical zeta function.-Fine statistical properties of (infinite measure) semi-dispersing billiards with  non compact cusps.-Growth of dynamical determinants and zeta functions of differentiable (non analytic) geodesic flows, with applications to the global Gutzwiller formula.-Fractional response and fractional susceptibility function for transversal families of smooth nonuniformly hyperbolic maps (including the logistic family).""

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Electromagnetic analysis of SiP'.

assistant: **Concept**

The number of advanced functionalities that can be combined into a single electronic device is directly influenced by the available electronic integration technologies. The hybrid integration of electronic components (semiconductor devices, resistors, inductors, capacitors, sensors, antennas) at the package level, in order to realize a System-in-Package, is a viable and effective technological solution. In fact, SiP technology makes use of advanced Printed-Circuit-Boards manufacturing techniques, which requ ire less development time and resourced compared to other integration technologies, as for example System-on-Chip. This has not only the advantage of reduced costs, but also gives the possibility to implement, in a very short time, various functionalities in different models, facilitating the customisation of a product, enabling specific requests to be met, and thus widening the market opportunities of a given product. The tight degree of integration achieved in SiPs creates a highly dense, three-dimensional circuit in which semiconductor devices, passive components, sensors and antennas are interconnected through a web of thin conductors. Such a close integration level requires a careful analysis of the couplings inside SiP structure at the development stag e and this is the Research Topic of this proposal. The correct estimation of the electromagnetic effects allows enhancing the overall quality of the SiP and also provide mandatory information to the designer. The research topic is multidisciplinary in character, requiring knowledge from the fields of electronic engineering, manufacturing, electromagnetic analysis and numerical methods. The inter-sectorial character of the project is guaranteed by the fact that the partners involved operate in distinct fields, i.e

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Migration, Diaspora, Citizenship' (MDC) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

The COFUND Fellowship Programme “Migration, Diaspora, Citizenship” is part of the strategy of the University of Muenster (WWU) to further internationalise postdoctoral research and training in the social sciences and humanities and to strengthen their interdisciplinary and intersectoral dimensions. In the context of the proposed MDC Project, the WWU pursues four primary aims: first, to enhance the academic and non-academic career prospects of the fellows participating in this programme; second, to build a cadre of researcher-practitioners who are able to communicate, work and cooperate across national, sectoral and disciplinary boundaries; third, to share best practices within a large and growing international network of academic and non-academic partner organisations. Last but not least, the fourth, long-term aim of this project is to effect sustainable change in academic structures and human resource development by contributing to the creation of a new academic culture that fully supports and rewards interdisciplinary and intersectoral research. With its focus on the social sciences and humanities, this programme targets fields where interdisciplinary and intersectoral training and research are still relatively uncommon and underdeveloped, particularly in comparison to the natural and life sciences. In tackling these deficits, the WWU will rely on existing training programmes, academic networks and its long-term experience with high-profile research projects in the respective fields. By centring the programme around the ubiquitous and interconnected phenomena of migration, diaspora and citizenship, the MDC Project builds upon established research excellence among its partners and opens up research opportunities for scholars with a wide range of academic interests and

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Bilateral computations in odor localization and its relation to behavior' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The brain is composed of two hemispheres that communicate with each other. While tremendous progress has been made in recent years in understanding the role of each sub brain region, understanding how bilateral communications (BC) contribute to brain computations and behavior is poorly understood. BC is crucial for spatial localization as well as higher cognitive functions such as language and perception of self in humans. Investigating BC has been very difficult to address due to lack of appropriate tools. The recent advance in optogentic, high resolution imaging and multi-unit electrophysiology provides a new opportunity to tackle these questions. In this study I will focus on the BC involved in odor localization as a starting point to understand BC and neural circuits. Understanding odor localization can have an enormous impact on many aspects of our lives such as, pest control, pollution management and plant-insect communications. Furthermore, understanding BC can advance computer science by suggesting new computational approaches that are based on parallelism. We will start by characterizing odor localization ability in mice. Then we will scan for neurons involved in odor localization tasks by recording bilateral neural responses using multi-channel recording in relevant brain regions of behaving mice. To unravel the neural circuits underlying BC in odor localization we will apply imaging techniques to measure the bilateral neural responses of both OB neurons to odors delivered from different directions. We will investigate the role of information exchange between the two OBs by checking the effect of transecting the olfactory communication lines between the two hemispheres on behavior and the neural responses. Using optogentic, we will activate and deactivate part

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Neuromodulation of Sensory Processing' (NeuroSens), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Neuromodulation, such as that associated with paying attention, changes the way our brains interpret our sensory experiences. Understanding the neuromodulation of neural circuitry that integrates and processes incoming sensory input to generate a meaningful output remains a fundamental question in neuroscience. While the neuromodulator acetylcholine is shown to enhance sensory responses, the cellular mechanisms by which it mediates these effects are still poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests that the local subthreshold dendritic potentials, dendritic spikes, which are important in synaptic input integration, also play a key role in encoding feature selectivity, the ability of neurons in sensory cortices to be tuned to specific features of a stimulus.  Interestingly, ion channels, such as potassium channels that regulate dendritic spikes are also shown to be modulated by cholinergic inputs. Here, I propose that acetylcholine modulates sensory processing via modulation of dendritic spikes. I will use a combination of state-of-the-art in vivo imaging, electrophysiology, pharmacology and optogenetics to test the novel hypothesis that acetylcholine modulates sensory processing by regulating dendritic spikes and thereby feature selectivity in mouse somatosensory cortex. The project will provide new cellular insights into a long-standing question on the mechanisms of neuromodulation of sensory processing. It builds on my expertise in neuroanatomy and physiology and will give me the opportunity to master advanced in vivo techniques in a host environment that is well known for their in vivo expertise and research into neuromodulation. Given my strong background in neurodevelopmental disorders, the project will push the knowledge frontier on neuronal processing and will pr

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Polycentric Carbon Pricing Governance: Cooperation, Contestation and Connectivity' (PolyCarbon) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The PolyCarbon project’s objective is to uncover, investigate and understand the underlying mechanisms and conditions for the expansion and contraction of the global system of carbon pricing governance. It will (1) chart the entire global system of carbon pricing policies, (2) explain the causes of adoption and rejection of (ambitious) carbon pricing policies, and (3) analyse the interaction amongst the various carbon pricing policies globally. The global system of carbon pricing policies will become exponentially more effective as it expands since carbon leakage is reduced. Carefully crafted and ambitious carbon pricing policies can be powerful tools for transitioning to a low-carbon economy in the urgent pursuit of international climate goals. Understanding the underlying mechanisms and conditions for the expansion and contraction of the global system of carbon pricing governance can provide insights for fast-tracking its formation; thus, accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy.The PolyCarbon project will develop a novel analytical framework that captures the complexity of local and transnational processes and their interaction. This framework will guide the creation of a unique and expansive database of carbon pricing policies. The database will be used for a comprehensive multi-method analysis, combining qualitative network analysis and case studies.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Sex Workers as Agitators: A Socio-Historical Analysis of Sex Work and Migration in Italy, 1990s-2020s' (SWAG) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

SWAG addresses a critical gap in migration and sex work research by analyzing how laws, public discourses, and EU policies affect the experiences and political agency of migrant sex workers. Focusing on Italy (1990-2020s) as a key entry point to Europe, this project shows how changes in migration law and morality politics have reshaped sex markets and influenced public and political debates in Italy. Italy is a critical case because it shifted rapidly from having no immigration law (1990) to criminalizing “illegal entry and stay” (2008), anticipating developments and trends that have since affected many EU member states.The project has three goals: O1: Analyse how changes in Italian immigration and criminal law have affected sex markets and migrant workers; O2: Build a framework to understand how morality politics and dominant narratives on sex work and migration influence public debate and policymaking; O3: Work directly with sex workers and stakeholders through participatory workshops to co-produce a white paper with policy recommendations for Italy and the EU. By treating sex workers as knowledge-producers rather than research subjects, SWAG challenges the systematic undervaluing of their perspectives in both scholarship and policymaking. Therefore, the project will generate evidence for more inclusive European social policies while advancing participatory research methods. For the researcher, SWAG provides advanced training in socio-historical analysis, participatory design, and policy engagement, building a unique profile at the crossroads of critical migration studies and public policy. The collaboration with the host institution (UNIPR), the University of Essex (academic secondment), and MiT (intersectoral secondment) ensures both academic excellence and real-wor
