user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Fatigue damage at mesoscopic level. Fatigue life prediction in conjunction with acoustic emission signals' (FADAMES) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Fatigue is the primary damage mechanisms of structural components that usually occurs in three stages: crack initiation, growth of short cracks and growth of long cracks. At macroscopic level, the fatigue damage of materials and respectively failure of structural components, is influenced by the loading mode, geometry, material properties and environment. There are many factors to be taken into account and implicitelly this falls upon the prediction level. Passing to mesoscopic level, the loading mode and geometry effects are included on the stress and strain state and the prediction of fatigue damage depends by the interaction between the stress and strain state and respectively the crystallographic characteristics of material grains. Therefore, it is expected that the prediction level of fatigue damage to be higher and this is confirmed by the studies already initiated. This project proposes an extension of mesoscopic level studies for real loading cases characterized by multiaxial stress and strain states. To analyze the interaction between the multiaxil stress and strain state and crystallographic characteristics of material grain, the project involves both numerical analyzes using submodeling technique and experimental techniques for monitoring the fatigue damage. Acoustic emission technique will be primarily used and simultaneously deeply explored. The purpose of using this technique is to establish clear connections between the mechanisms that generate acoustic signals and the fatigue damage at mesoscopic scale. As the results of this interdisciplinary research consists on the one hand the development of a new concept for fatigue life prediction based on the physical degradation mechanisms of the materials. On the other hand, the investigation results in the deve

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Sustainable Innovative Mobilisation of Wood' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

SIMWOOD presents a novel idea for an innovative, integrated approach to multifunctional forestry and enhanced wood mobilisation across European forest regions. The project targets a multitude of forest owners and stakeholders to spread integrated, transferable solutions and viable policies to unlock immobile forest resources and ensure sustainable forest functions. A novel pan-European Information System, the ‘MOBILISER’, is a unique knowledge base of innovative practices and technologies, existing stakeholder initiatives and effective support programmes in the regions and an expert system to evaluate the impact of up-scaling solutions to the larger EU context. The MOBILISER links to Regional Learning Labs, fostering participative dialogues on enhanced forest governance to secure collaborative initiatives and build commitment for improved policies and solu-tions of sustainable development. As a proof-of-concept, SME partners jointly implement novel pilot projects showcasing targeted forest use and tangible impacts on rural economies. This European Information System incorporates a broad dissemination strategy via easily accessible, intuitive, multilingual interfaces to maximize the uptake of integrated mobilisation solutions by forest owners and stakeholders across Europe and beyond. The two major European research organisations, JRC and EFI, facilitate the wide transfer and ensure continuity of the cross-regional monitoring system beyond the project’s lifetime. The project will help overcome socio-economic and technical barriers linked to ownership fragmentation and develop major opportunities in expanding wood and bioenergy markets. Focused recommendations and future RTD priorities underpin vital policy areas on multiple levels and raise awareness for wood mobilisatio

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Structural transformations and phase transitions in real-time' (TRANSFORMER) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Chemical and material sciences are key drivers of our modern economy with transformative impact at all levels of society. In particular, the ability to synthesize and to tailor substances and materials with specific function is all-pervading into modern society. Vital is a firm understanding of structural transformations of molecules and phase transitions of solids as they are omnipresent, e.g. as formation and breakage of molecular bonds, proton motion and isomerization, and as collective phenomena in phase transitions. Gaining insight into the ultrafast correlated dynamics is highly challenging and requires revolutionary methodologies and innovative approaches to capture the dynamics from its onset.TRANSFORMER will provide unprecedented insight into the real-time electronic and nuclear dynamics of molecular transformations and phase transitions with advanced new methodologies and a multi-faceted approach to the investigation. The project exploits our pioneering achievements in attosecond soft X-ray spectroscopy (XAFS) and laser-induced electron diffraction (LIED) to pinpoint in real-time which electronic states participate at which nuclear configuration. The proposal consists of three objectives: O1: We will establish the methodical boundaries of LIED for space-time imaging of isolated molecules. O2: We will extract simultaneous and real-time electronic and nuclear information, thus gain insight into the underlying many-body quantum correlations. O3: We will use our methodology to realize resolving both, molecular isomerization and a solid’s metal-to-insulator phase transition, in its electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom and in real time.  If successful, TRANSFORMER would undoubtedly provide an unprecedented view into electronic and nuclear dynamics, thereby reac

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Smart source leveraging advanced multimode fiber and machine learning towards metrology applications'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Complex nonlinear optical processes have been increasingly used for the smart photonic system to meet demands of advanced light source development for numerous applications. Current flagship techniques are still restricted, lacking flexibility of the light excitation in terms of controlled spatio-temporal properties. For instance, available laser sources have only a few degrees of freedom for versatile pulse shaping and tunable wavelength emission due to narrow bandwidth of a laser gain medium. Conversely, a wide range of applications benefits from broadband light sources with on-demand characteristics in the spectral, temporal, and spatial domains. However, available broadband sources are restricted by low output power density and limited reconfigurability. Therefore, versatile, efficient, and practical light sources are necessary to motivate development of paramount applications including microscopy and metrology techniques.In this context, the TOGETHER project aims to develop an on-demand structured broadband high-power light source relying on the advantages of complex nonlinear dynamics in multimode fibers along with machine learning approaches to efficiently harness such multidimensional complexity. In particular, rich landscapes of nonlinear dynamics in multimode fibers will be leveraged for ""on-the-fly"" control of nonlinear propagation. In parallel, machine learning based on artificial neural networks will be employed to speed-up typically time-consuming simulations and optimize the process of supercontinuum generation in multimode fibers. Specifically, we aim to optimize broadband sources in terms of power spectral intensity and spatial shapes. The developed sources will be used to enhance the selectivity and signal of multiphoton microscopy via near-infrared

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Bacterial Cell Morphogenesis', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

In bacteria, the though external cell wall and the intracellular actin-like (MreB) cytoskeleton are major determinants of cell shape. The biosynthetic pathways and chemical composition of the cell wall, a three dimensional polymer network that is one of the most prominent targets for antibiotics, are well understood. However, despite decades of study, little is known about the complex cell wall ultrastructure and the molecular mechanisms that control cell wall morphogenesis in time and space. In rod-shaped bacteria, MreB homologues assemble into dynamic structures thought to control shape by serving as organizers for the movement and assembly of macromolecular machineries that effect sidewall elongation. However, the mechanistic details used by the MreB cytoskeleton to fulfil this role remain to be elucidated. Furthermore, development of high-resolution microscopy techniques has led to new breakthroughs this year, published by our lab and others, which are shaking the model developed over the last decade and re-questioning the MreB “actin cytoskeleton” designation.The aim of this project is to combine powerful genetic, biochemical, genomic and systems biology approaches available in the model bacterium Bacillus subtilis with modern high-resolution light microscopic techniques to study the dynamics and mechanistic details of the MreB cytoskeleton and of CW assembly. Parameters measured by the different approaches will be combined to quantitatively describe the features of bacterial cell morphogenesis.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Perceptual Learning'.

assistant: **Concept**

Perceptual learning is fundamental to human cognition. It can be defined as an enhancement in the ability to distinguishbetween similar stimuli (that otherwise would be very hard to tell apart) as a consequence of experience with them, or withstimuli similar to the target stimuli. This allows the wine connoisseur to distinguish between different wines, the birdwatcher to tell one warbler from another, and people to identify that face as a given person rather than someone else, if theface is taken from an ethnic grouping that they are familiar with. My research focuses on the mechanisms responsible forperceptual learning. By using a range of neuroscience techniques (tDCS, fMRI, TMS/MEP, EEG/ERP) in conjunction withthe behavioural designs provided by experimental psychology I will investigate the neural basis for perceptual learning, test acomputational model of the phenomenon, and try to control the development and expression of this perceptual skill. Thisprogramme of research will train me in new techniques, further develop my expertise in the domain of perceptual learning,and allow me to work in one of the leading laboratories for this type of research at the present time. It will also allow me toraise my and my discipline's profile, and to do this, as part of this research proposal, I will convene an InternationalWorkshop on Perceptual Learning to bring together the various researchers working on this issue and publish theproceedings as an edited book.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Assembling the building blocks of advanced color and polarization vision'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The natural lightscape is awash in a wealth of visual information that animal eyes have evolved to interpret and exploit. Often, they possess visual capabilities beyond our own, including perception of additional colors (wavelengths) or the polarization of light (the orientation of light waves - an entirely separate visual modality we have no sensitivity to). However, little is known about how these advanced visual systems evolved. I hypothesize that they emerged from segregated information channels tuned to distinct stimuli in certain regions of the light environment that control specific behaviors. My proposal aims to explore how new color and polarization circuits formed and integrated while maintaining their crucial primary functions. I will approach this from multiple, converging perspectives using invertebrate models with uniquely informative visual specialization: 1) water fleas, with miniaturized compound eyes featuring high degrees of regional specialization for color and polarization sensitivity, possibly akin to early visual systems; 2) mantis shrimp with the most elaborate color and polarization photoreceptive arsenal in nature; and 3) firefly squid, potentially the only cephalopod mollusk that has convergently evolved color vision in addition to their acute polarization sensitivity. From each of these perspectives, I will use advanced techniques to explore the building blocks of their color and polarization vision (photoreceptors), how they are assembled to collect and interpret visual information (neural circuitry), and how they function (visual ecology). I will discover the environmental factors that drive extreme color and polarization vision in animals, unravel the interplay between these modalities, and reveal the principles that ensure these advanced

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Identifying the ripples of gene regulation evolution in the evolution of gene sequences to determine when animal nervous systems evolved' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Animals display a bewildering diversity of morphological structures and adaptations that represent dramatic body plan transformations. Forming these diverse body shapes requires the coordinated expression of hundreds of genes in a cell-specific manner; a monumentally complex task that is controlled by gene regulatory networks (GRNs): genes linked to each other by regulatory interactions, which modulate the gene expression in every cell of an organism. Despite their central role in determining animal form and function, it is as of yet unclear how GRNs evolve and how they are linked to the origin of morphological innovation. This project builds on the combined knowledge and expertise of the applicant and three European research institutions in order to tackle this knowledge gap using cutting-edge techniques, and an innovative, multidisciplinary approach that merges molecular, bioinformatic, and phylogenomic methods.

user: Explain how 'Laser control over crystal nucleation' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The CONTROL programme I propose here is a five-year programme of frontier research to develop a novel platform for the manipulation of phase transitions, crystal nucleation, and polymorph control based on a novel optical-tweezing technique and plasmonics. About 20 years ago, it was shown that lasers can nucleate crystals in super-saturated solution and might even be able to select the polymorph that crystallises. However, no theoretical model was found explaining the results and little progress was made. In a recent publication (Nat. Chem. 10, 506 (2018)), we showed that laser-induced nucleation can be understood in terms of the harnessing of concentration fluctuations near a liquidliquid critical point using optical tweezing. This breakthrough opens the way to a research programme with risky, ambitious, and ground-breaking long-term aims: full control over crystal nucleation including chirality and polymorphism. New optical and microscopic techniques will be developed to allow laser manipulation on a massively parallel scale and chiral nucleation using twisted light. Systematically characterising and manipulating the phase behaviour of mixtures, will allow the use of the optical-tweezing effect to effectively control the crystallisation of small molecules, peptides, proteins, and polymers. Exploiting nanostructures will allow parallelisation on a vast scale and fine control over chirality and polymorph selection through plasmonic tweezing. Even partial success in the five years of the programme will lead to fundamental new insights and technological breakthroughs. These breakthroughs will be exploited for future commercial applications towards the end of the project.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Advancing Amino Acid Electrosynthesis through Integrated Active Site Design, Mechanistic Understanding, Free-Standing Electrode Fabrication, and Continuous Flow Cell Engineering' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Amino acids (AAs) are essential raw materials in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The global AA market was valued at around USD 28 billion in 2023, and is expected to reach around USD 63 billion by 2033. Traditional microbial and chemical processes involve lengthy reaction times, toxic reagents, and large centralized factories. In the context of carbon neutrality, electrosynthesis of AAs with small-scale devices is an ideal alternative to address these issues. However, current AAs electrosynthesis suffers from significant challenges: (1) A lack of comprehensive mechanistic understanding of the active sites-intermediates/target products correlation, leading to an insufficient theoretical foundation for catalyst design. (2) The absence of engineering-focused studies on optimizing efficient flow reaction cells and large-size cathodes limits the practical application at higher current densities.This project aims to address these challenges through three key approaches: catalyst design, size effect-related mechanistic studies, and engineering of large-scale carbon cathodes and flow cells. Specifically: (1) Synthesize bimetallic active centers (Fe-Ni, Fe-Cu, Ru-Ni, Ru-Cu) with varying sizes, from single atoms to diatoms, clusters, and nanoparticles, for AA electrosynthesis. (2) Conduct mechanistic studies using in situ XAS and FT-IR to identify the true active sites and obtain reaction intermediates, to enhance understanding of reaction mechanisms and the important C-N coupling process, and further establish the intrinsic relationship between active sites, intermediate selectivity, and catalytic activity.  (3) Develop large-size carbon electrodes via a self-assembly hydrogel strategy and a flow electrochemical cell system for continuous AA synthesis. This project will

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Chasing sustainability: Synthesis of carboxylic acids from simple alcohols via CO2 fixation' (ALCO2HOL) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Since the industrial revolution our society has altered the pace of the carbon cycle by extracting and burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas or coal. Actually, one of the most fundamental gaps in catalysis is the use of alternative feedstocks such as carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce chemicals. In this regard, the development of “perfect chemical reactions” that maximizes the yield while not generating waste would be highly desirable. In this context, the most promising area of research is the metal-catalyzed activation of inert bonds, thus allowing the elaboration of complex substrates from simple precursors with no waste being generated. While most of the current research on inert bond activation is focused on the activation of C-H bonds, the functionalization of truly inert C-O bonds is still at its infancy. Among these, the activation of ubiquitous C-OH such as phenol or simple aliphatic alcohols is virtually unexplored and it represents a new avenue of research. Beyond any reasonable doubt, conducting basic and fundamental research by making chemicals from CO2 and simple C-OH bonds would definitely open new horizons in catalysis. ALCO2HOL will offer innovative, challenging and unconceivable approaches to convert simple alcohols into carboxylic acid motifs, perhaps the most important backbones in pharmaceuticals. This approach will face fundamental problems from the scientific standpoint without losing sight its environmental and economical implications. Given the importance of using renewable sources in a sustainable society, I believe ALCO2HOL will dramatically change concepts in catalysis, allowing new tactics to be implemented in organic chemistry and consequently, enhancing the ever-growing quality of the European research.
