assistant: **Impact**

There is a need to strengthen the capacity of Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) to conduct Ecodesign related market surveillance activities with respect to new and pending industrial and tertiary sector products. Especially in the case of customised products which are unsuitable for testing in laboratories. There is a lack of expertise, experience, and resources available across Europe for such kind of testing. An increasing concern is that new regulations addressing these products risk being unenforceable. The aim of the INTAS project is to address these concerns and provide technical and cooperative support, as well as capacity building activities, to MSAs charged with enforcing these regulations. The need for the INTAS project arises from the difficulty that MSAs and market actors face in establishing and verifying compliance with energy performance requirements for large industrial products subject to requirements of the Ecodesign Directive. The focus of the project is to support compliance for very large industrial products, specifically transformers and industrial fans, with the requirements of the Ecodesign Directive. The energy consumption of transformers and industrial fans is very significant and thus the risk of losses due to poor compliance cannot be ignored. The project aims to:a. support European Member State MSAs deliver compliance for large products (specifically for transformers and large fans); b. support industry to be sure of what their obligations are under the Ecodesign Directive and to deliver compliance in a manner that will be broadly accepted by MSAs; c. foster a common European approach to the delivery and verification of compliance for these products.The INTAS project involves 16 partners among them  there are 11 organisations, which are

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Silica-based Nanobiomedical Approaches for Treatment of Bone Diseases: Proof-of-Concept' (SI-BONE-POC) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Silicatein is a unique enzyme from siliceous sponges that is able to catalyze the formation of an inorganic material, silica or “biosilica” which forms the inorganic skeleton of these sponges. Another exceptional property of this protein is its dual function, as we discovered for the first time in the ERC Advanced Grant “BIOSILICA” (Grant no. 268476): silicatein both (i) acts as an enzyme (biosilica formation) and (ii) exhibits structure-forming/guiding activity. Even more important with regard to the biomedical application of silicatein: the product of the enzymatic reaction, biosilica, is osteogenic and biocompatible and allows the formation of a moldable material – the ideal basis for the potential application in bone healing, as we found. Moreover, we demonstrated that biosilica not only increases the expression of bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2), but also modulates the ratio of expression of two proteins, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and RANKL, that are crucial in pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Hence, biosilica has potential in prophylaxis and therapy of osteoporosis, a major health threat worldwide. Measures to prevent the development of osteoporosis have become increasingly important due to the demographic development in many industrialized countries. Our idea arising from the ERC-funded project is to apply the silica-enzymes fused to a hydroxyapatite-binding protein tag for the formation of bioactive biosilica-based scaffold / nanocomposite materials for bone regeneration and repair in osteoporotic patients and patients with related bone diseases. The proposed project aims at bringing this idea to a pre-demonstration stage by conducting a proof of concept and verifying its innovation potential.

user: Describe how 'Laser for Magnesium: the influence of laser wavelength, and feedstock quality on the optical properties of Mg alloy for industrial needs' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The overall aim of the project is to obtain the most optimum laser characteristics that will improve the ability to process Mg alloys for laser based additive manufacturing method, which currently suffers immensely due to excessive evaporation of the powder feedstock. Lasers are a form of monochromatic electromagnetic radiation, that interact with each metal differently. In selective laser melting (SLM) process, when laser energy is applied to the Mg powder, two primary processes occur: absorption and reflectance. The laser wavelength determines the degree of absorption in the metal powder. Due to low absorbance of traditional yttrium doped fiber laser in infrared range, and low thermal conductivity, Mg processing requires using high power lasers that leads to rapid evaporation of Mg when the laser hits the melt pool. To accomplish these goals, optical spectral absorbance properties of magnesium and its alloys in various forms (plate, block, powder) will be studied using UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. Effect of laser characteristics such as mode, power and wavelength on the absorbance response and process stability will be characterized. The impact of powder particle size distribution, plate thickness, surface quality, alloy compositions on laser-material interaction will be studied.  The results will be used to obtain the highest success process window.The project will create valuable knowledge for use in  the field of SLM of Mg alloys. The existing scientific gaps and technological challenges associated with laser treatment of Mg alloys will be filled and sustained by commercialization by the researcher's current employer. The research plan is designed to solve an outstanding problem in the industry and will improve the long term employability of the researcher with his emp

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Communicable Disease in the Age of Seafaring' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Infectious diseases have had an intimate history with humans and have shaped our genetic makeup through generating strong selective pressures. Although disease emergence and epidemics occur on a local scale, human interrelationships formed through travel and trade can lead to exchanges of pathogenic communities. While such transfers were common among the interconnected Eurasian and North African cultures throughout most of human history, the rest of the world experienced relative ecological autonomy. The terminal Pleistocene witnessed the colonisation of vast territory on the American continents, after which interactions between New and Old World peoples were limited for millennia by geographical barriers. These ecological worlds collided at the end of the fifteenth century, when improvements in navigation and the discovery of the Americas by Europeans permitted regular contact and plentiful opportunities for biological interchange. The identities of most diseases that played leading roles during this period of exchange are known, though details on the directions of their movement and temporal introductions remain the subject of scholarly debate. The work programme presented here will use an underexplored data source – ancient pathogen genomes – to identify infectious insults in pre- and post-contact New and Old World skeletal series, thus enabling an evaluation of changing disease landscapes at contact. Complementary to this goal, genomic loci for human immunity genes will be interrogated, thus permitting quantitative evaluations of disease adaptation. Ancient molecular data will be acquired through use of the most sensitive and up to date methods in the field of ancient DNA with the aim of bringing diseases not easily seen from skeletal morphology or historical docume

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'STUDIES, TRAINING, SOCIO-ECONOMICAL VALORIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL, CULTURAL AND MONUMENTAL PROPERTY FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE LOCAL SOCIETIES OF LATIN AMERICA (ARGENTINA, BRAZIL AND MEXICO)'.

assistant: **Innovation**

When a natural or monumental site is declared as a protected area such as World Cultural Site, National Historic Monument, Biosphere Reserve, Natural Space, a strong impact undergoes in the region. This declaration involves a large public and private investment which often affects only the site itself or immediate surroundings. The direct impact is reduced by marginalization of more distant areas, which in many cases, present unquestionable heritage values, susceptible of being valorised and recovered in order to further generate financial resources to promote economic, social and regional development. The protected sites act as a powerful magnet promoting economic and social bookmarking of remote places, if that marginal area is valorised properly. Such valorisation generates knowledge and good practices that can be transferred to natural or monumental sites that have received some form of protection either at national or international level in Latin America in order to avoid the marginalization of surrounding areas. To overcome the reduced impact and promote future economic and social progress derived from such declarations, the STRAVAL main purpose is to make non-interventional studies on the conservation of these sites in LA in order to valorise the selected sites. Such studies will be performed from an architecture, environment, geo&bio-diversity, history and conservation/alteration of building materials point of view. It will complemented by the identification of existing economic potentials around these sites and a social study of the neighbouring populations. As a result of the performed studies, education and training programs shorter training courses and open day sessions addressed to students in Higher Education Institutions, civilian population at large and

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Molecular Catalyst Immobilized into Porous Photocathode for production of Solar fuel'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The biggest contributor to ‘global warming’ is CO2 emission by burning fossil fuels. It is feasible to achieve carbon neutrality by recycling CO2 to fuels, which has a negative carbon footprint. It is not economical to recycle CO2 under the traditional circumstances, which involve extreme conditions. (Photo)-electrocatalytic CO2 reduction using thin-film semiconductor at room temperature is promising.  For CO2 reduction, molecular catalysts are beneficial, because of easy structure-function correlations, but they lack recyclability and durability. CO2 reduction catalysts will be produced by the EU-funded MolPPS project through heterogenization of molecular catalysts in porous matrix with 3D crystalline architecture. Due to heterogenization, the proposed catalyst will possess inherent activity and gain stability. MolPPS will help elucidate the principles leading to heterogeneous molecular catalyst designing.This proposal will implement two distinct heterogenization methods for iron/tin porphyrins containing carboxylic acids and hydroxyl groups into porous covalent organic framework. Porphyrins are well-known CO2 reduction catalysts. The microenvironment around porphyrins will be tweaked to tune the (photo-)electrocatalysis to produce methane and formic acid, drawing inspiration from the effects of extended coordination spheres and proton management commonly exploited by the biological enzymes. Electrochemical theories will be expanded to decipher mechanistic information, and develop catalytic models.  Working for MolPPS will aid the experienced researcher achieving his goals for an independent research career by: (1) scientific training in organic synthesis and catalysis, (2) mentorship training via supervision of PhD students, (3) fund management training, and (4) devel

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Support for Transnational Mobility and Research Training' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The aim of this proposal is to set up a mobility scheme (START) to support transnational mobility of researchers. The scheme will be open to applicants from all over of the world within five years after receiving their doctorates. Eligible researchers must identify either an Icelandic host or co-host in their application and their training must include one of the following mobility elements: a) incoming, b) outgoing c) reintegration. Applicants can otherwise select their destinations and research topics freely.The START scheme will be managed by the Icelandic Centre for Research (RANNIS) which is a public research funding agency in Iceland. RANNIS is responsible for managing several research funds on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Science as well as the Ministry of Industry and Tourism. It is, furthermore, responsible for coordinating Iceland's participation in FP7 and hosts a EURAXESS service centre for mobile researchers. RANNIS has participated in a number of successful projects supported by the Framework Programmes in the last 20 years.Two calls will be published widely around Europe during the project period and a minimum of 14 fellowships awarded, each with a maximum duration of 3 years. The financial contribution includes a living allowance, travel allowance and a contribution to research costs and management. Evaluation processes will be based on international peer-review and follow the ""European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for their Recruitment"", which all universities in Iceland are committed to. Evaluation will primarily focus on excellence.The Co-funding would have great additional value to the European community as no programme specially dedicated to researchers' mobility has ever existed in Iceland.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Condition monitoring of water distribution pipelines as a rehabilitation aid'.

assistant: **Concept**

The main objective is to establish new or improved methods to aid rehabilitation decision making for water distribution pipelines. Rehabilitation is necessary when the performance of a pipe (be it water quality, structural condition or hydraulic capability) falls below acceptable standards. Methods for assessing the structural integrity of a pipe, tend to concentrate on burst rates or leakage levels. This excludes the consideration of partially-worn pipes which may be about to fail. Condition monitoring of pipelines enables a better representation of the state of a system to be formed. When combined with established burst prediction models, this will provide a more reliable method for selecting which pipes need to be replaced and when. Existing condition monitoring techniques will be compared, with consideration given to costs and feasibility (realistic level of coverage). An emphasis on localised non-destructive methods such as electromagnetic and ultrasound techniques will be made. In addition, the effect of water quality on pipe deterioration will be explored. A method will then be proposed for determining the risk of failure either on an individual pipe level or for groups of pipes linked by similar key attributes (e.g. material, diameter, age). This information will be combined with statistical and analytical models developed by the host and applicant in previous research. Cemagref can provide training into their in-house models and techniques and their extensive knowledge of pressurised systems, including the use of hydraulic models. Working in France will provide the applicant with knowledge of the French water industry and research practices and will improve his French. Working at Cemagref Bordeaux will provide knowledge of research areas, such as statistical pi

assistant: **Impact**

CLEOPATRA project aims at developing a SW procedure able to simulate relevant weather phenomena as they appear to airborne weather radars, starting from a high level description of the weather phenomenon (scenario), up to obtain the polarimetric I/Q signals at radar output. Such data have to be used as input to processing system simulation software (outside the scope of the present work) to be developed as test bench to compare the performances of new improved weather detection algorithms with older ones.The following main issues will be considered:Meteorological modelling (scenario definition)Electromagnetic modelling (backscattering from hydrometeors)Weather radar modelling (including clutter, antenna effects etc)having in mind the goal of developing a new class of simulators, able to combine the description of the meteorological scenario at mesoscale level (typical of the environment simulators) with the capability of generating accurate time series of raw signals (typical of the microphysical simulators), while keeping complexity and computational effort manageable. The procedure shall be “validated” by referring at experimental data coming from a ground based weather radar.""

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Artificial intelligence-enabled microfluidic analysis of ciliary beat defects for drug discovery, biomedicine, and disease screening' (Ai4Cilia) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

In Ai4Cilia (“Artificial intelligence for Cilia”), we will develop an automated microfluidic AI-powered assay of ciliated cells to detect and classify ciliary beat abnormalities for drug discovery, biomedicine, and disease screening. Rhythmically beating ciliated cells perform important physiological functions in the airways and the reproductive system. Defects of ciliary beat contribute to debilitating diseases, such as to-date uncurable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and underdiagnosed causes of infertility. In the context of our ERC StG MecCOPD, we recently showed that standard video-microscopy recordings of ciliary beat can be used to extract quantitative metrics that clearly identify disease-specific ciliary dysfunction. Therefore, since ciliary beat can be observed in vitro and in minimally invasive biopsies, it could provide a much-needed readout for drug development and improved diagnosis. However, since ciliary beat patterns are highly complex, it takes specialists to analyze them and hence this information is rarely exploited in praxis. To establish ciliary beat as a common readout, we developed a microfluidic platform that standardizes data acquisition from ciliated cells and uses AI for detecting and classifying ciliary beat defects. To bring this approach to the next level and towards market entry, we will address three key objectives in Ai4Cilia to demonstrate (1) hardware feasibility by validating human ciliated cell capture and data acquisition in our microfluidic chip; (2) software feasibility by training our AI algorithm to detect disease-specific ciliary defects and validate sensitivity and specificity of our assay; and (3) business feasibility by assessing customer needs in biomedical and clinical research to define the most efficient
