user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'A new high-performance aqueous lubricant formulation for soft bio-contact surfaces' (AquaLub) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the AquaLub project, we will translate an innovative aqueous lubricant technology, developed in the context of the ERC project LubSat, towards commercial applications. The technological focus is on an electrostatically-driven macromolecular self-assembly of naturally occurring proteins. Commercial aqueous lubricants market is significantly growing ($22 billion by 2025) with broad range of personal care and institutional care applications to enhance hydration and alleviate dryness-related pathologies of oral, ocular, vaginal, rectal and/or urethral tissues. In this context, hydrophilic polymers are the standard materials that provide sub-optimal lubrication properties significantly impairing the quality of life. Taking inspiration from highly sophisticated bio-lubricant saliva, engineered by nature, we propose a novel technology exploiting the self-assembly of proteins to design a porous mesh that acts as a nano-reservoir of water to provide the fluid film lubrication whilst the hydrophobic attachment of the proteins to the surface provide the boundary lubrication. These dual-benefits have not been achieved by any commercial solutions to date. This technology allows for substantial improvements on enhancing lubrication and sustaining hydration of biological soft surfaces, over existing commercially-available approaches. In this project, working through 4 work-packages, we will validate the techno-commercial feasibility of the aqueous lubricant formulation in various formats for chosen sectors and generate connections with key industrial players based on initial contacts established so far. Key activities in the proposed project will ensure demonstration of the up-scaling feasibility and validation of performance, market research and filing IP, which will allow us to b

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'A skin substitute optimised using mechanobiological simulation to restore weight-bearing function'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Large or chronic wounds affect 4 million people in the EU each year. Tissue engineered skin substitutes offer the potential to enhance the repair and regeneration of these wounds. However, there are currently no skin substitutes that can fully restore the weight-bearing function of foot skin. Therapies to reconstruct the foot sole are urgently needed, with an increasing prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers that cost the EU €4 billion annually and have a five-year survival rate as low as 29%. Native skin’s load-bearing structure is dynamic and adaptable to changes in its mechanical environment. By studying the mechanical forces that lead to robust native skin, we can enhance regenerative therapies. The aim of this project is to enhance skin substitute design by optimising its properties using mechanobiological simulation, providing the basis for site-specific skin regeneration that targets weight-bearing function. The specific objectives of this project are:1. To quantify cell-level mechano-regulation processes in human skin. A dynamic bioreactor will be designed to control the mechnical environment of human skin explants while the cell-level biological responses to load are quantified.2. To optimise the mechanobiological properties of a skin substitute. A multi-scale computational model of skin mechano-regulation will be developed and used to predict the optimal mechanical and morphological properties for skin regeneration. 3. To demonstrate that this optimisation leads to enhanced dermal substitutes. The optimised skin substitute will be fabricated using bioprinting and micropatterning methods. This substitute will be tested in vitro for its ability to promote robust epidermis formation.This proposal involves substantial knowledge transfer, with the candidate gaining exp

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Superconducting magnets for the European  Magnet Field Laboratory'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The magnetic field is a powerful thermodynamic parameter to influence the state of any material system and such is an outstanding experimental tool for physics. To go beyond the conventional commercially available superconducting (SC) magnets, very large infrastructures such as the ones gathered within the European Magnetic Field Laboratory (EMLFL) are necessary. EMFL provides access to static resistive magnets (up to 38 T) and pulsed non-destructive (up to 100 T) and semi-destructive (up to 200 T) magnets for all qualified European researchers. Some recent advances open the way for the implementation of high temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets at the EMFL facilities. The SuperEMFL design study aims to add through the development of the HTS technology an entirely new dimension to the EMFL that go beyond the commercial offer, providing the European high field user community with much higher SC fields and novel SC magnet geometries, like large-bore-high-flux magnets or radial access magnets.The development of SC magnets that can partly replace current high-field resistive magnets will result in a significant reduction of the energy consumption of the static field EMFL facilities. This will strongly improve EMFL’s financial and ecological sustainability and at the same time boost its scientific performance and impact. The high field values, the very low noise and vibration levels, and the possibility to run very long duration experiments will make high SC magnetic fields attractive to scientific communities that so far have rarely used the EMFL facilities (NMR, scanning probe, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies, ultra-low temperature physics,  electro-chemistry …). All these new research possibilities will strengthen the scientific performance, efficiency and a

user: Describe how 'SHADOW: An exploration of the nature of informal economies and shadow practices in the former USSR region' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Extending from Eastern Europe to Eastern Asia, from the Caucasus to Central Asia, the post-USSR region, occupying almost one sixth of the world’s territory, has an immense potential for the EU as source of natural resources and potential market for EU companies. In spite of this, the region is often seen as a highly hazardous one to deal with, given its “uncertain business and investment climate with widespread opportunism and corruption, misuse and misappropriation of state assets and conflicting information flow”SHADOW is a research and training programme with the goal of producing strategic intelligence on the region and train a generation of specialists on informality in post-Soviet spaces. Our goals are two-fold: 1) we intend to construct an index to provide an accurate measurement of the level of shadow activities in our target countries; 2) we aim to conceptualise a taxonomy of shadow practices in the post-USSR region in a cross-country and cross-regional perspective. Both goals are intended to contribute to a much better understanding of the threats and opportunities that the former USSR region, of fundamental importance for the EU, offers.

user: Explain how 'Creating links and innovative overviews for a new history reseach agenda for the citizens of a growing Europe' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

CLIOHRES is a Network of Excellence specifically designed to address the novel historical challenges, needs and research opportunities emerging from today's context of a growing and expanding Europe. In the view of the proponents, this is a vital area of endeavour, perhaps the most important and urgent task for building and strengthening the foundations of a peaceful, productive European community of citizens. Basic and unquestioned attitudes about ourselves and others are rooted in the ways that the scientific community in each country defines its research agenda. Historians create and cultivate selective views of the national or local past, which in turn underpin pervasive ideas about identities and stereotypes: national, religious, gender, political, etc. National historiographies today are still largely shaped by problems and preoccupations reflecting previous political and cultural contexts.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Rapid manufacturing of products by improved 3d printing' (1998-2002) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The main objective of this project is to develop the 3DP process into a reproducible industrial manufacturing technique providing consistent decorated parts. To this end, a prototype 3DP machine will be built/modified (including the software) and process parameters for making products using conventional materials will be determined. Although 3DP techniques have been shown to be feasible for all kind of materials (seewww.MIT.edu), the further development to a technique with consistent materials with a high accuracy, requires solving a number of technical issue including the handling of powders, control of binder composition, warp age of parts, optimisation of material microstructure and product properties. In addition, the controlling software and data acquisition of coloured and graded materials need to be further developed. The result of this project will provide the partners with a technology which represents a major step forward in rapid manufacturing and product design for custom product with customer specified materials.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Torrefaction is considered worldwide as a promising key technology for boosting large-scale implementation of bioenergy. It involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to a temperature of 200 to 320 °C. As a result, the biomass looses all its moisture and becomes easy to grind and water resistant, which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition and biological degradation and permits outdoor storage. By combining torrefaction with pelletisation or briquetting, biomass is converted into a high-energy-density commodity solid fuel or bioenergy carrier with superior properties in view of (long-distance) transport, handling and storage, and also in many major end-use applications (e.g., co-firing in pulverised-coal fired power plants, (co-)gasification in entrained-flow gasifiers and combustion in distributed pellet boilers. Moreover, torrefaction-based bioenergy carriers may form a good starting point for biorefinery routes.The current SECTOR project is focussed on the further development of torrefaction-based technologies for the production of solid bioenergy carriers up to pilot-plant scale and beyond and on supporting market introduction of torrefaction-based bioenergy carriers as a commodity renewable solid fuel. The core of the project concerns the further development of torrefaction and densification technology for a broad biomass feedstock range including clean woody biomass, forestry residues, agro-residues and imported biomass. Production recipes will be optimised on the basis of extensive logistics and end-use testing. Much attention will be given to the development, quality assurance and standardisation of dedicated analysis and test methods. The experimental work will be accompanied by extensive desk studies to define major biomass-to-end-use value chains, d

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Hub Molecules of Metabolism and Signalling – Key regulators of Life' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Metabolic disorders are a major burden on the European population and health care systems. Moreover, metabolic perturbations contribute substantially to other pathologies such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. The causes of metabolic dysregulation are manifold and lead to pathological shifts, often in response to imbalanced nutrition. Likewise, changes in metabolism affect signalling mechanisms and gene regulation, aggravating the pathology. The mechanisms of this interdependence between metabolism and signalling are still not well understood. HubMOL will fill this knowledge gap and open new horizons by exploring the functional duality of a set of small molecules that are involved in all cellular functions - the Hub Molecules Of Life (HubMOLs) including ATP, SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) and the vitamin-derived cofactors, NAD, FAD, and CoA. They are key components of both metabolism and signalling networks and are interconnected, for example, through their participation in posttranslational protein modifications (PTMs). The complexity of this emerging area requires interdisciplinary scientists equipped with comprehensive competences covering experimental, computational and systems biology as well as clinical medicine. Therefore, the main HubMOL goal is to provide world-class training in these areas to 16 DCs enabling them to establish fundamentally new insights into cofactor biology and lay the ground for patient-tailored vitamin supplementation concepts. The strategic exposure of the 16 young researchers to leading European academic institutions, companies and clinical environments combined with systematic training in entrepreneurship and transferable skills will strongly improve their employability for positions in both private and public sectors.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Approaching efficiency limits of perovskite solar cells by overcoming non-radiative recombination losses' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Metal halide perovskites are currently viewed as a new “wonder materials” due to the combination of their outstanding optical and electronic properties with the ease of processing as compared to similar direct bandgap semiconductor such as GaAs. Despite the meteoric rise of the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells (up to 20% in less than 5 years) they is still a substantial potential of improvement towards the theoretical efficiency limits. During the first research phase, most of the effort has been devoted to the development of deposition processes to produce the best crystalline thin films. APPEL has the ambition to initiate the second phase, in which fundamental understanding of the recombination losses in the perovskite and at heterojunctions with charge extraction layers will make possible to generate devices with efficiencies approaching the full potential of these semiconductors. A perfect solar cell should also be an excellent emitter, since 100% of the absorbed photons must recombine radiatively. Therefore the original approach APPEL is to target primarily light emission (photoluminescence and electroluminescence) to understand the factors governing the recombination losses in solar cells. From the understanding of the fundamental recombination mechanisms at the heterojunctions, I will demonstrate highly efficient devices with >23% power conversion efficiency. Moreover, efficient light-emitting diodes (LED) will be produce alongside photovoltaic devices. This work will set the foundation of the future rational optimisation of metal halide perovskite devices in the same way that optimisation of light emission in GaAs led to the advent of devices approaching the theoretical limits.

user: Describe how 'Unraveling the Molecular Basis And Regulatory Function Of Genome Architecture By Monitoring Its Dynamic Makeup During Differentiation And In Differentiated Cells' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This proposed study addresses a major issue in the field of genome biology: how cells adopt specific genome configuration during differentiation, how is it maintained, and how properties of nuclear architecture relate to cell function.Although spatial clustering of genes and regulatory elements is correlated with transcription status and epigenetic states, it is not clear which mechanisms drive, which features follow, and what is the regulatory role of nuclear organization.Our studies in numerous cell types have identified the enrichment for transcription factor (TF) binding loci as the salient feature of genomic loci residing in active sub-nuclear environments. Surprisingly, the coordinated chromosomal associations were not correlated with transcription response. Thus, we hypothesize that TF interactions with the genome are key for the establishment of genome three-dimensional organization.To understand how nuclear architecture is modulated during differentiation we propose to study the coupled dynamics of genomic association networks together with multiple genomic layers of genome regulation (transcription, transcription factor binding, and epigenetic states) during adipogenic differentiation in high temporal resolution. Moreover, genome architecture data will be combined with DHS-seq profiles for unbiased examinations and discovery of nuclear organizing factors. To understand how genome organization is maintained we will study differentiated mammary cells. We will validate our findings with molecular perturbations, and combine genomics with single cell analysis by imaging. Lastly, to understand genome organization transitions, we will study the dynamics of genome organization throughout the cell cycle in high molecular and temporal resolutions. Importantly, we will l

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Pulsed plasma technology for 2D materials integration'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Atomically thin layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) are gaining increasing attention as new materials for futureBeyond-CMOS electronics. Recently, a great progress has been made in deposition of high quality layers of TMDs pavingthe way towards wafer scale device manufacturing. However, many fundamental and technological challenges still have tobe addressed. Precise tuning of the number of layers, doping, surface functionalization and selective low damage etching ofTMDs are among the most critical technological steps. Plasma processing is an enabling technology used for doping,etching and deposition of ultrathin layers in microelectronics industry. However, the application of plasmas for integration of2D materials remains marginal and poorly controlled. The major challenge for plasma treatment of atomically thin materialsis the need for unprecedented control of fluxes and energies of plasma species at the substrate. Pulsed plasma technologyholds promise of reaching conditions required for low damage processing of 2D materials with a single atomic layerprecision. The ambition of PULSE2D is to develop highly controlled pulsed-plasma technology for integration of TMDs innano-electronic devices on a wafer-scale. A fundamental study of the mechanisms of interaction between pulsed plasmasand atomically thin TMD materials will be performed. Defect production, adsorption and etching processes will be quantifiedas a function of plasma parameters. This information will be used to perform atomic layer etching, functionalization anddefect healing of TMDs using pulsed plasmas. The research and training activities will enhance technical skills of thecandidate in the emerging area of plasma processing of 2D materials, industry-relevant nano-fabrication and measurementof T
