user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Rural Sustainability Transitions through Integration of Knowledge for improved policy processes' (RUSTIK) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The overarching objective of RUSTIK is to enable rural communities’ actors and policy makers to design better strategies, initiatives and policies fostering sustainability transitions of rural areas, through an advanced understanding of different rural functionalities, characteristics and future scenarios of rural areas, their potentials and challenges.Central specific objectives are to provide (1) a robust methodological framework for functional rural areas, (2) databases integrating data of different types and sources, (3), improved strategies  and  governance approaches for rural decision makers and stakeholders, and (4) improved approaches for rural impact assessment and decentralised rural proofing.RUSTIK aims to substantially contribute to enhancing existing European policy tools and approaches, most of all to support the European Green Deal, the European Digital Strategy, the European pillar of Social Rights and the EU Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas of the European Union.RUSTIK addresses the topic by illuminating three key transitions in rural areas, i.e. (1) socio-economic, (2) climate change and environmental, and (3) digital. Five types of rural functions are RUSTIK’s starting point for characterising the diversity of rural areas and their capacity to respond to these transitions.In order to achieve its overarching and specific objectives, RUSTIK will (1) create a conceptual basis for functional rural areas, transition and resilience of rural areas building on previous research, (2) co-design data collection approaches, and (3) investigate policy frameworks and coordination mechanisms. Closely interrelated with all of these activities, Living Labs in 14 European Pilot Regions in 10 European countries will be the central element of an action-oriented multi-ac

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast Ecosystems for the development of Probiotic Extracellular Vesicles'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Fermented foods are used for many centuries all over the world for their contribution to longevity and digestive health. Regular consumption of fermented foods can combat dysbiosis and boost hosts immune response against various pathogens and associated diseases. However, they increase the microbiome of the digestive tract and can have adverse effects on immunosuppressed patients. Rather than single-strain probiotics, we will study Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast Ecosystem (SCOBY) derived biomembrane-delimited nanostructures to obtain similar or enhanced beneficial effects. To that end, extracellular vesicles (EVs) harvested from kombucha, a fermented beverage based on tea and sugar produced with a SCOBY will be exploited for their antimicrobial properties against gastrointestinal bacterial infections and food-borne bacterial pathogens.The experienced researcher is a microbiologist with strong academic background in the field of microbiology, infectious diseases, and bioinformatics who will team-up with the Institute of Biosciences and BioResources with considerable expertise in EV research to carry out a uniquely interdisciplinary research program. The research will realize the following objectives: 1. to set-up and optimize kombucha SCOBY cultures for the production of EVs, 2. to study the role of SCOBY-derived EVs in interspecies communication and their impact on gastrointestinal bacterial pathogens, and 3. to synthetize molecularly imprinted polymers specific for the enrichment of SCOBY-EVs. To our knowledge, none of these objectives has been addressed before and they all have the potential to expand the knowledge in the field and drive the research towards biotechnology applications in health and disease. The research objectives are integrated with concerte

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'NOTsoQUANTUM: Realistic simulations of polaritonic chemistry' (NOTsoQUANTUM).

assistant: **Concept**

Polaritonic chemistry is an emerging field aiming to manipulate chemical dynamics and reactivity as well as material properties through the formation of polaritons. These are hybrid light-matter states emerging from the interaction between molecular transitions and confined light modes, leading to unique properties in the so-called strong coupling (SC) regime. Recent investigations have demonstrated several examples where polaritonic states prove beneficial to a variety of distinct processes, including the modification of nonadiabatic dynamics and molecular photophysical processes. Despite all the efforts placed into understanding how polaritons affect these processes, many unanswered questions still remain in the field. At the present time, the only way to achieve a deeper understanding on how to control the effect of polaritons in chemistry and predict new phenomena is to have a physically sound, accurate and low-cost methodology capable of including all key ingredients responsible for the formation of polaritons, while describing the dynamics of the light and matter entities on an equal footing. Such a framework remains to be explored, and this proposal precisely aims at developing the necessary methodology and simulate a realistic setup of molecular polaritons. The outcomes of this proposal will provide insight on the manipulation of chemical dynamics in polaritonic chemistry and additionally predict plausible modifications of photophysical processes. This will be possible by extending the Ehrenfest+R approach, a promising method for the simulation of coupled photon-molecular dynamics, to SC situations. Taking advantage of its ability to recover quantum effects of light-matter interactions with semiclassical dynamics, we will follow a “NOTsoQUANTUM” approach that wi

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'INNOVATIVE FIRE PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR STEEL STRUCTURES' (STEELPROST) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Current methods to provide fire protection of light steel structures include the nowadays most efficient approach of intumescent paints, which are typically applied on-site on a mounted structure using brushes or spray guns. Such treatments are generally achieved through the preparation of the surface by grit/shot blasting, followed by the application of a primer, and followed by the application of several layers of intumescent coatings. This methodology has a number of drawbacks for a large community of end users, including: a)Drying times of intumescent coatings are very long, resulting in high cost associated to labour, site disruption, and space required for painting; b) As a consequence of those significant costs and burdens, the reality is that many end users, particularly SMEs, end up applying fewer layers than required, uneven or irregular layers, or none at all, breaching therefore current legislation, facing serious penalties and fees and endangering the security of their own installations. The STEELPROST project aims to provide a solution to current surface treatment limitations, by developing a second generation of fire-protective coatings that are: easier to paint on, covering a larger area faster, having improved adhesion and quick drying properties. This will be achieved through 3 core innovations: 1)Development of low cost fire-retardant agents using novel tin-based technology, based on nontoxic halogen-free additives ; 2)Combination of the above fire retardant agents with further nanoparticle additives to confer the paint outstanding adhesion to the metal, and increase abrasion and wear resistance properties; 3)Design and optimisation of a procedure for fast curing of the coating using existing heating source technologies such as infra-red (IR).

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Understanding atmospheric circulation from a surface perspective'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Circulation changes are at the heart of changes in both regional precipitation and temperature and extreme events ranging from heavy precipitation to heat waves or cold spells. Understanding and modelling circulation changes in a warming climate therefore constitutes an emerging challenge for climate science. General circulation models still struggle to represent important features of the large-scale circulation in the present-day climate, which undermines confidence in future projections. The present project is to combine a small-scale process-level with a large-scale dynamical perspective to investigate how drag processes at the Earth's surface associated with boundary-layer turbulence, orography and gravity waves affect large-scale circulation. Our aim is to develop a climatological view of the distribution and variability of individual components of surface drag as represented in general circulation models and to understand which processes or model parametrisations are responsible for current model biases especially in the representation of mid-latitude storm tracks.

user: Explain how 'Contested Knowledges in and through Asylum Litigation' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Migration, and particularly the question of asylum, has become one of the most pressing and polarizing issues of our time. Scholars have highlighted how the high level of contestation and politicization in this area has increased the demand for a wide range of expert knowledge. At the same time, this situation has thrown expert knowledge into a terrain of conflict. Consequently, the notion that expert knowledge provides a proper foundation for legal decision-making regarding asylum is under pressure. ASYKNOW will develop new conceptual tools for understanding the role of expert knowledge in asylum governance by investigating the ways in which knowledge about asylum seekers and migration is constituted and contested through asylum litigation. The project moves beyond traditional approaches to expert knowledge in migration scholarship, which has largely examined the content of decisions and adopted a one-directional approach to expert knowledge as an instrumental and/or symbolic tool of states domination. Instead, a focus on asylum litigation allows us to examine 1) how knowledge claims attain meaning and authority through the relational dynamics between differently situated actors, 2) how legal thresholds and tactics evolve as they pertain to the use of expert knowledge, and 3) how types of knowledges and knowledge claims facilitate or challenge states ability to exercise power over bodies and spaces. ASYKNOW brings together theoretical concepts, methodological approaches, and findings from geography, anthropology, law, and Science and Technology Studies (STS)  that have hitherto remained fairly separate with regard to the study of migration  into a novel and productive dialogue. Methodologically, the project adopts an ambitious in-depth comparative research design that

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Mechanistic basis of nucleation and spreading underlying a Polycomb-mediated epigenetic switch' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Polycomb-mediated epigenetic regulation of gene expression is central to development and environmental plasticity in most eukaryotes. Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is targeted to genomic sites, known as nucleation regions or Polycomb Response elements, and switches those targets to an epigenetically silenced state. But what constitutes the switching mechanism is unknown. Core epigenetic switching mechanisms have proven difficult to elucidate due to the complex molecular feedbacks involved. We will exploit a well-characterized gene system, Arabidopsis FLC, to address a central question – what are the core events that constitute a Polycomb switch? Our hypothesis is that the epigenetic switch involves stochastic conformationally-induced oligomerization, generating an ordered protein assembly of PRC2 accessory proteins and PRC2, that is then robustly distributed onto both daughter strands during DNA replication through self-templating feedback mechanisms. We will determine the local chromatin features that promote the epigenetic switch independently at each allele (i.e., in cis). We will also dissect the involvement of DNA replication in the transition from metastable to long-term epigenetic silencing, associated with the Polycomb complex spreading across the body of the locus. This interdisciplinary proposal combines molecular genetics/biology, computational biology, with structural biology, achieved through close working relationships with Prof. Martin Howard (John Innes Centre), Dr Mariann Bienz (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge) and Dr Julian Sale, (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge). This blue-sky programme aims to provide important new concepts in Polycomb-mediated epigenetic switching mechanisms, important for the whole epigenetics f

user: Describe how 'Reaction Mechanism of Methanol Conversion in Zeolite by Integrated Diffusion/Reaction Kinetics Model' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

C1 Chemistry plays a crucial role in providing energy and chemical supplies while meeting environmental requirements, such as carbon neutrality to mitigate global warming and the gradual shift in the supply chain from crude oil to biomass, and other alternative carbon sources. Zeolites, as one kind of important heterogeneous catalysts, create a perfect environment to selectively and effectively convert C1 molecules to chemicals with high economic value, as for instance the transformation of methanol to olefins (MTO) or the methanol carbonylation process. However, the understanding of the reaction mechanisms of these methanol conversions in zeolites is lacking. Up till now the diffusion process of reactants, intermediates, and products in the confined spaces of zeolites has not been considered in the free energy landscape of the catalytic cycle, which leads to a discrepancy between experiments and calculations. Therefore, the proposed integrated diffusion/reaction kinetics model is an essential keystone to understand the high selectivity of zeolites in C1 chemistry. In this project, ab initio molecular dynamic (AIMD) simulations accelerated with different enhanced sampling methods will be employed to study the complete kinetics of methanol conversion in zeolites, including the processes of reactants adsorption/diffusion, reaction, and product diffusion/desorption. This should result in a complete free energy landscape, by which the parameters of zeolites that influence the selectivity of C1 chemistry will be uncovered. The final affinity of this model is to guide the modification, design, and screening of highly effective zeolite catalysts for C1 chemistry in an efficient and adequate manner.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Thermal treatment for radioactive waste minimisation and hazard reduction'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Safe management of radioactive waste is challenging to waste producers and waste management organisations. Deployment of thermal treatment in an optimised waste management lifecycle can provide significant volume reduction, waste passivation and organics destruction, with benefits for waste storage and safety cases for geological disposal. Relevant technologies include in-container vitrification, gasification, plasma treatment and hot isostatic pressing. THERAMIN aims in utilisation of all these methods.THERAMIN will provide an EU-wide strategic review and assessment of the value of thermal technologies applicable to a broad range of waste streams (ion exchange media, soft operational wastes, sludge, organics and liquids). THERAMIN will compile an EU-wide database of thermally treatable wastes, will document the strategic benefits of thermal treatment, and will identify the opportunities, synergies, challenges, timescales and cost implications to improve radioactive waste management. THERAMIN will evaluate the applicability and achievable volume reduction of the technologies through ‘first-of-a-kind’ active and non-active full-scale demonstration tests, and will assess the disposability of residues. The project benefits from the large investments made by partners in thermal treatment R&D facilities, which will be used to maximise the benefit across Member states. THERAMIN will benefit from close engagement with an End User Group (waste producers and waste management organisations). The partners will encourage the mobility and training of staff for the development of the next generation of engineers and scientists, and the proposal includes a technical training workshop, a scientific conference, and use of other dissemination tools. THERAMIN will establish a pan-European
