user: Write the concept and methodology overview for '(Dis)Connected Elders? Interfaces of Cosmologies, Subjectivities and ICTs in the Lifeworlds of Kinshasa's Old Aged' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The project aims at analysing the ways in which Kinshasa's old aged make meaning of the diverse ICTs on offer in their city. Via ethnographical research, we want to understand (a) the perceptions of Kinshasa's elders on mobile telephones, television, radio and internet, (b) their uses of these ICTs, (c) the ways in which these ICTs impact on the elders' social relations, and (d) the role of these ICTs in the elders' religious lives. The intersection of ICTs and senectitude opens up a fascinating field that has not yet been addressed in an African context. The topic is until now even hardly studied in the West. The findings of the project will be of interest to anyone working on one or more of the following fields: urban studies, communication studies, development in the South, and third age. The project also links up with the the 'Social and Economic Concerns' theme of the FP7 Cooperation Programme, which acknowledges the implications of ageing and the complexity of technology and society interrelationships. The proposed research program involves (a) 12 months of indepth fieldwork in Kinshasa, divided into 4 field visits over the three years of the fellowship and (b) participation in research communities in the US and in Europe. Fieldwork will include participation, observation and interviews with Kinshasa's elders, opinion leaders and ICT brokers. In order to benefit from current cutting-edge anthropological research on technology and society, half of the duration of the project will be carried out as a visiting researcher at MIT (Boston), a leading centre in the development of new technologies and the cultural implications of these.The final part of the project will be hosted by the Institute of Anthropological Research of the K.U.Leuven (Belgium), a centre with longs

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Zero-defect manufacturing of composite parts in the aerospace industry' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the aerospace industry very high quality standards have to be met. For the manufacturing of carbon fibre parts this is currently solved through extended end-of-line inspection in combination with re-work processes to deal with defective parts. Also, in-situ visual inspection is used for quality control, which is currently causing huge productivity losses (30%-50%) during lay-up and has become a real bottleneck in carbon fibre parts manufacturing.The project will provide a solution by developing inline quality control methods for the key process steps: automatic lay-up (dry fibre placement and automatic dry material placement) and curing. At the system level decision support systems will be developed that assist human decision-making when assessing defects and when planning the part flow through the production line. These will be supported by simulation tools for part verification and logistical planning. The future manufacturing of the A320neo wing covers will be provide the background for the developments. Each such wing cover consists of two parts, that each cost several hundred thousand Euros in manufacturing. Assuming the planned production rates of 60 planes per month from 2025, savings of 150 MEUR in production costs can be obtained per year.The consortium consists of all key players that will play a future role in the manufacturing of such large carbon fibre parts. Airbus with its research centers Airbus Group Innovations and FIDAMC will play a leading role in the consortium as far as the multi-stage manufacturing process is concerned. Machine builders (MTorres, Danobat) and research centers will develop the inline quality control, while Dassault Systémes will provide simulation support.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Plant-soil feedback and local adaptation along soil fertility gradients' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

In a process known as plant-soil feedback, plants can modify soil microbial communities in ways that differentially affect the performance of subsequent generations of plants. Recent studies suggest that plant-soil feedbacks may play an important role in plant community assembly and functioning, affecting plant species co-existence, primary productivity, succession and plant invasions. However, we still lack a basic understanding of how plant-soil feedbacks vary between different habitats and soil types. Moreover, plant-soil feedbacks may not only affect community and ecosystem-level processes but may also contribute to evolutionary dynamics within species and affect genetic diversity. The overarching aim of this project is to assess variation in the strength and direction of plant-soil feedbacks along soil fertility gradients in temperate grassland ecosystems at local through to large spatial scales. The proposal includes high-quality training and knowledge exchange between three countries. By combining concepts and experimental approaches from different disciplines, such as plant ecology, soil science, population biology and evolutionary and microbial ecology, we will build a mechanistic framework to predict plant-soil feedbacks in different environmental contexts and to assess their contribution to the maintenance of genetic diversity within grassland plant species. Collectively, improved knowledge of plant-soil feedbacks along soil gradients will enhance our capacity to identify those ecosystems most vulnerable to human impacts, such as invasions and land use change, and will enhance conservation and restoration of natural habitats. This proposal contributes to addressing one of the most pertinent societal challenges – maintenance of biodiversity in the face of glob

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Portable infrared biochemical sensor enabled by pixelated dielectric metasurfaces'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Mid-infrared spectroscopy is considered gold standard in bio-chemical analysis for both research and industry applications, providing chemical specificity, as well as a label-free and non-destructive way of accessing molecular structure on a wide range of samples. Currently available infrared (IR) sensor techniques rely on bulky and expensive Fourier transform infrared spectrometers or tunable light sources, which severely limits their use in field and practical applications. Therefore, there is a clear need for new optical sensing technologies capable of bringing the power of IR spectroscopy to miniaturized sensor devices at the point of care, which opens new business opportunities. The proposed ERC Proof of Concept project aims to realize  a portable spectroscopic biochemical sensor by leveraging our recently invented nanophotonic technology enabled by pixelated dielectric metasurfaces. We will validate our sensor device for use with relevant biochemical samples related to medical diagnostics, food safety and environmental monitoring, and will integrate it into a technology demonstrator for testing of these compounds in the field. Our proposed spectroscopic sensor operates at much lower cost and in a more compact footprint compared to the current state-of-the art, opening up new application areas where no current point-of-care devices exist.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Electromagnetic forming of tube and sheet metal for automotive parts (EMF)', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This project intends to develop electromagnetic forming (EMF) for full-scale industrial application both from tube and sheet material. The overall aim is to reduce the weight of the vehicles to support the reduction CO2 emissions. As EMF is most suitable for aluminium this will be the focus in the project. The project will start from the investigation and optimisation of process parameters and the determination of material behaviour during EMF. Through the utilisation of laboratory tools representing specific features of parts input will be provided for the realisation of two industrial demonstrators displaying the advantages of EMF.Experimental and virtual procedures are considered as well as process parameters and EMF equipment. The link between experimental work and simulation is important for the project in order to develop EMF towards an industrial application, fitting modern production strategies.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'SODA. Integration and exploitation of networked solar radiation Databases for environment monitoring'.

assistant: **Concept**

Information about solar radiation is often restricted to very basic data such as annual radiation on horizontal surfaces for large geographical areas. There is a crucial need for more detailed information, for example concerning solar radiation on surfaces that are not horizontal (e.g. - windows of buildings and vineyards). Project SoDa will address needs of users (e.g. in agriculture, the construction industry and research) for quality information on solar radiation parameters by applying a user-driven methodology. A prototype service will be developed that will integrate and efficiently exploit diverse networked information sources to supply value-added information to a selected number of fields. The multi-disciplinary consortium gathers companies and researchers with the necessary expertise in solar radiation as well as from information and communications technologies. Customers and potential users are also represented via the involvement of commercial private vendors of solar radiation databases in addition to representatives of large international and local environmental research and development programmes.Objectives:To answer the needs for high quality customer-tailored information on solar radiation;to integrate diverse sources of information presently available separately within a smart integrating network;to develop and operate a prototype service, which efficiently exploits the smart network, and which will be used and gauged by selected users;to increase the quality of the delivered information through improved modelling of time and space structures of the solar radiation, and improved matching to actual customer needs, to disseminate the achievements of the project, and to assess the sustainability of a permanent commercial service.Work description:Dissemina

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Unraveling the role of O-glycosylation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most aggressive cancer type, with a 5-year survival rate of just 10%. This is primarily due to late-stage diagnosis and resistance to current treatments. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms driving PDAC progression is critical for developing more effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.Glycosylation, one of the most prevalent post-translational modification, is fundamentally altered in PDAC.  The two clinically significant subtypes present in PDAC, called Classical and Basal, have distinct glycosylation profiles that affect tumor cell biology and its interactions with the microenvironment and immune system. Despite its importance, the particular mechanisms involved are poorly understood. This project aims to elucidate how glycosylation drives PDAC, by characterizing the glycoproteins involved in different subtypes. We are particularly focus in the glycosylation enzymes GalNAc-T1 and GalNAc-T3, which have fundamental yet distinct roles in Classical and Basal cancer cells. However, their substrate proteins and underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Using bump-and-hole engineering, combined with click chemistry and mass spectrometry, we will pinpoint the glycoprotein substrates and glycosylation sites modified by these isoenzymes, offering unparalleled insight into the roles of glycans in PDAC.We will also characterize the biological functions of these glycoproteins through biochemical, cell biology, and immunological methods. By revealing how these glycoproteins influence cancer cell biology and immune recognition, this project could uncover novel mechanisms involved in PDAC progression, which can lead to the identification of new biomarkers or therapeutic targets, potentially improvin

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Lignin oxidation technology for versatile lignin dispersants' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of the LigniOx project is to demonstrate the techno-economic viability of the unique LigniOx alkali-O2 oxidation technology for the conversion of various lignin-rich side-streams into versatile dispersants. High-performance concrete plasticizers will be the target end product, but potential other end uses, such as dispersants for paints and gypsum, will be evaluated as well. Valorisation of lignins originating from kraft and organosolv pulping as well as from 2nd generation bioethanol processes will be addressed. Both the oxidation technology and the end-product performance will be demonstrated at operation conditions, thus enabling industrial process installations and entry of the novel lignin products into the markets after the project. The valorisation of lignin side-streams will significantly improve the cost-competitiveness and resource efficiency of lignocellulosic biorefineries. It will also create low-cost, sustainable raw materials for the chemical industry. The LigniOx technology can be integrated into lignocellulosic biorefineries, or it can be operated as a stand-alone unit by chemical industry.  For scale-up and process demonstrations, a mobile pilot unit will be constructed. The viability of the process concepts will be demonstrated in operational conditions using relevant pilot equipment and process modelling. The performance of LigniOx concrete plasticizers will be demonstrated by field tests, and industrial product prototypes will be produced. Techno-economy as well as environmental and socio-economic impacts will be assessed. Also regulatory issues will be considered to ensure the market entry.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Playfields: Prototyping a location based game for higher education.' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The idea for this Proof of Concept (PoC) is to develop a prototype of a location-based game (LBG) that can be used for teaching fieldwork in a Higher Education (HE) setting. The rationale behind it is that location-based games, understood here as  pervasive games in which gameplay develops through a player's mobile location, are promising educational tools for fieldwork, as they:-Are close to student’s lifestyle as digital natives -Offer innovative and creative technologies for using methods in vivo. -Offers educators possibilities to monitor and supervise students’ progress -Allow for different interactions between students, teachers and learning environments -Allow for more creative learning processes for understanding environments and people -Offer accessible and informal ways to break down barriers between researcher and “researched” The game we envisage to prototype will consist of an OpenStreetMap based GPS enabled mobile phone app that can be  used by students while conducting fieldwork. The game mixes spatial and qualitative approaches, that prompt students to complete certain educational tasks, plan routes , create narratives, or “claim” certain spots or areas. The app will then feed data created by the students (GPS check-ins, images, texts, recordings) back to a main computer where the findings and activities  are collected, scored with points and evaluated by the teachers of the course. Through this central interface organisers of the course as well as BOTs (automated tasks/non-playable entities in the game-world) can send messages, advise and tasks  to the participants, information that is also used to share and evaluate the results with students in the classroom. Likewise students can communicate with their supervisors while in the field through this centr
