user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Graphene and related materials membranes for efficient removal of toxic cations from water' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

GRAPHEME will combine chemically tailored graphene and related materials (GRMs) with capillary membranes (CMs) technology to engineer a radically new generation of CMs, exploiting simultaneously the outstanding adsorption properties of GRMs with the physical sieving potential of CMs, to ultimately improve the quality of potable water. GRMs’ hybrids hold a disruptive potential as sieving materials to boost the CMs performance as they possess an ideal tailor-made structure and tunable physicochemical properties. In a recent breakthrough, foams based on GRMs functionalized with polymers were used to sequester heavy metal ions from water with an unprecedented efficiency. Their high surface area with sp2 hybridization favors the adsorption of organic molecules. The functional groups on the GRM surface enable to tune both the water permeability and the binding of ions, thereby favoring the removal of inorganic contaminants. Significantly, no other material currently used for water treatment combines all these key properties. GRAPHEME’s CMs will combine the removal of toxic pollutants with rejection of particles, microorganisms and dissolved solids thanks to the synergy between micro/ultrafiltration by CM scaffolds and GRM multitarget adsorption. Towards the GRAPHEME technology commercialization, we will define the exploitation strategy, including IP positioning, market survey, business model and fundraising. This will also include partnering with key enablers – business-related and technological – for commercial success. A technical and commercial proof-of-concept will be established by developing a prototype to ultimately bring our CMs technology closer to the market. GRAPHEME will set new standards for the best exploitation of water for the mankind and will give the means t

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for Supplying of Services in Rural Settlements of Mediterranean Partner Countries'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The strategic objective of the proposed project is to remove the knowledge barriers against the installation of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems and the creation of mini-grids based on renewables. Ultimate objective of the project is to develop, combine, install, test and assess (technically and socially) the performance of low-cost pilot hybrid Renewable Energy (RE) systems in remote areas of the Mediterranean, which are not yet grid-connected. The hybrid systems will be consisted of photovoltaics, small wind generators, hydrogen subsystems and they will be installed in selected areas of the MPC countries to set-up and provide energy and associated services thus aid to the increase of the standard of living of these rural communities.The systems will be configured and sized after taking into account the local conditions. Three hybrid systems will be installed in remote rural areas of Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. The systems should fulfil criteria as modularity, robustness, and simplicity in use and also require very low maintenance. Additional considerations for the technologies selection and implementation regard the possibility of systems standardisation and replication.Furthermore, the local installations will serve as good practice, accelerate local skill development, and promote and encourage international partnerships amongst all relevant stakeholders, such as research, financial, and regulatory institutions, industry and service companies, in particular SMEs, local representatives and social players. By setting-up the afore mentioned three pilot installations in three MPC the proposed research will bring a significant contribution for creating sustainable structures with a decent living quality in the rural environments of the MPC by developing highly innovative h

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'HIgh-performance circular and BIo-baSed materials in the Construction and bUilding Sector' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

The construction sector is the second largest industrial ecosystem in the EU in economic terms, generating 11,5% of the EU Gross Value Added in 2023. However, while creating economic value, the highly polluting materials derived from petroleum also contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for up to 37% of global operational energy and process-related CO2 emissions. This represents a serious challenge and calls for an urgent transition towards a circular economy. Despite a change taking place in the consumption and production of materials, the sector is facing limits in terms of price, efficiency of materials and social acceptability. The HIBISCUS project aims to revolutionize the building envelope sector by replacing fossil based materials with innovative bio-based alternatives to enhance sustainability, economic viability, and regulatory compliance while reducing the industry's carbon footprint. Coordinated by SOPREMA and 11 partners across Europe, the project uses a thorough methodology to provide new biobased materials for the building envelope thanks to the conversion of several feedstock sources. Partners will demonstrate at pilot scale the feasibility of scaling-up biobased materials while meeting the market standards and the industry’s needs. The project expects to create five bio-based construction materials - (2) waterproofing, (2) insulation and (1) carpentry solutions - with an average of 80% bio-based components and a 25% improved environmental profile. Within five years post-project, HIBISCUS aims to ensure that all materials meet CE-marking standards and attain a 10% market share for bio-based materials. Ultimately, HIBISCUS seeks to consolidate the EU position at the forefront of sustainable construction practices, promoting circul

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Discovery of novel orphan riboswitch ligands' (RiboDisc), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Riboswitches are mRNA-based gene-regulatory elements triggered by direct interactions with small molecular ligands. They are exciting targets for novel antibiotic strategies. Many putative riboswitches have been identified using bioinformatics. However, ligand identification is getting more complicated since many motifs are not expected to be involved in simple feedback regulation mechanisms. For such “classical” riboswitches ligands have been assigned in the past based on testing metabolites selected by educated guesses guided by the associated gene contexts. We are convinced that this approach limits the identification of riboswitches that play regulatory roles in more complex bacterial processes such as virulence, detoxification, communication, and life style adaptations. Within this project, new riboswitch classes will be identified and characterized, paving the way for the development of antibiotics with novel modes of action.We will establish a systematic, robust and unbiased approach for identifying intracellular RNA ligands by fishing small molecules from lysates as well as screening fractionated cellular extracts. The methodology shows great potential for assigning novel riboswitch classes since in preliminary experiments we have successfully isolated a small molecular activity that specifically triggers the ykkC orphan riboswitch motif. A range of analytical and preparative methods will be applied in order to identify the nature of this and further activities. By synthesizing ligands and derivatives thereof we will scout the antibiotic potential of novel riboswitch ligands. The proposed research is highly relevant for one of the major biomedical challenges of the coming decades: Since riboswitches are effective antibacterial targets, the identification of nove

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Smart nanosystems for advanced cancer therapy', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Advances in the preparation of nanotechnology-based materials in medical science pose new challenges in the design of smart nanodevices capable of meeting clinical needs. These systems are called to solve the issues associated to a non-specific delivery of drugs, which lead to the failure of a large number of treatments for oncological diseases.A selective and safe carrier for drug delivery should be actively targeted to malignant cells and display a stimulus-responsive behavior controlled by external means. The present project is aimed at developing targeted delivery vehicles able to release the required dose of chemotherapeutics in response to local temperature increases. For this purpose, an emerging technology based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and high intensity focused ultrasounds (HIFU), MRI-guided HIFU, will be combined with selective nanomedicine to provide a full spatial and temporal control of the release process. This novel MRI-assisted triggered drug delivery allows improving the performance of chemotherapy and better monitoring the regression of disease.The research project is built around two main objectives: 1) the design and synthesis of novel biocompatible thermosensitive carriers based on inorganic-organic hybrid nanospheres with targeting nanobody moieties, and 2) the in vitro and in vivo evaluation of MRI-guided HIFU-triggered drug release. This proposal represents a unique opportunity in the context of nanotheragnostics for tailored chemotherapy, and means a significant step towards its clinical translation.The project is in the core of 2 of the 10 themes of the FP7 Cooperation Program, Health and Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials & New Production Technologies. This research in smart drug delivery nanodevices constitutes a highly mul

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Microplastic removal from water using purposely-designed biodegradable gelatine hydrogels'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The abundance of microplastics in the environment, and in water in particular, is a growing concern. Kosuth et al. (2018) showed that they were present in 81% of 159 drinking waters sampled across 14 countries. Both European Commission and EU Parliament have on-going investigations to enforce public policies to reduce the amount of microplastics released in the environment. Nestlé, as one of the many extensive users of plastics to protect and safely deliver goods, has been engaged in decreasing the environmental impact of its plastics and in ensuring that microplastics are absent from its products. In addition to policies tackling microplastic release in the environment, solutions are needed to remove those which are already present.MICROPLASTINE aims at designing low-cost reusable biodegradable gelatine hydrogels to remove microplastics from water. Our water remediation process is based on the ability of charged gelatine hydrogels to flocculate oppositely charged microplastic particles, leading to the formation of aggregates that quickly sediment under gravity and can then be separated from water. As the charge of our hydrogels is pH-sensitive, they can be easily recovered by changing the pH.Using static and dynamic scattering techniques, our detailed examination of hydrogel-microplastic association and of the structure of their aggregates will not only allow us to understand the role played by microstructure and surface chemistry, but also to optimise hydrogel structure and properties; thereby creating rapid aggregation processes. The same techniques will also allow us to investigate the aggregation reversibility, and subsequently design hydrogel regeneration and microplastic recovery processes to ensure the full reusability of our biodegradable flocculant.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Use and application of the master curve method for determining fracture toughness - workshop' (MASC).

assistant: **Innovation**

The project consists of executing a workshop to increase the awareness of the Master Curve fracture toughness analysis method in Europe and to train experts for applying the method in the integrity assessment of pressurised water reactor pressure vessels. The workshop promotes the development and standardisation of the method particularly in the European countries. It enhances collaboration between EU countries and encourages national safety authorities to fully utilise the possibilities of the improved test and analysis methods in licensing the power plants. The collaboration will be extended to the East-European countries and Russia by inviting lecturers and attendees from these countries. The studies will increase personal experience of using the method as part of an entire integrity assessment of true components. The workshop educates experts for training the skills of using the Master Curve method further, e.g. inside their own institutes.The general objective of the MASC workshop is to increase the awareness of the Master Curve method in Europe and qualify experts to the use of it. The long-term objectives are to encourage the use of the method for integrity assessments of reactor pressure vessels (RPVS), to produce relevant information for licensing RPVs and to enhance the development and standardisation of the method in Europe. The workshop also aims to increase collaboration between countries in order to find standard, generally accepted methods of determining the fracture toughness and to encourage national safety authorities to utilise the possibilities of the improved test and analysis methods in licensing the power plants. The purpose is to extend collaboration also to the East-European countries and Russia. The aim is also to educate experts for training t

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Explaining Global India: a multi-sectoral PhD training programme analysing the emergence of India as a global actor'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The GLOBAL INDIA ETN will deliver a world-class multi-sectoral doctoral training programme focused on India’s emergence as a global and regional power, and its relationship with the EU. International research on India’s global role has not kept pace with the changes to India’s status as a growing economy and significant international actor. This is reflected in the lack of PhD level training programmes in Europe that have a focus on India. Europe lacks a knowledge base on India, the ETN addresses this by creating a multidisciplinary, multi-sectoral network bringing together six leading European universities, with six leading Indian universities, and six non-university partners (one as a beneficiary), all of whom have previously collaborated together. India's actions as a global actor impact on the interests of the EU, and India as a democratic state could potentially be an ally for the EU on international issues that will affect the welfare and security of Europe.  The quality of Indian democracy also shapes India’s actions as an international actor and therefore this programme examines the domestic challenges that are shaping Indian democracy and the key international actions of India that are most relevant to its relationship with Europe.  The networks training programme is grounded in the academic excellence of the universities and the complimentarily of the strong, diverse range of non-academic partners – a representative business organisation, a consultancy SME; two think-tanks (in Brussels and New Delhi); a human rights organisation and a global company. The training programme requires that all ESRs will attend 9 network training events, providing workshops on skills (academic and practitioner), with inputs from all partners; complete an internship with a non-acad

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Rapid Microplastic Analysis by Microparticle Radars' (RAMP-UP).

assistant: **Concept**

Microplastics pollution is becoming increasingly problematic due to its involvement in a myriad of health problems and its effects on natural wildlife. Water agencies across the globe are progressively implementing screening policies for drinking water to address this issue. However, this is proving to be challenging since the existing monitoring technologies are labor intensive and time-consuming with low throughput. To address the issue, we propose a new flow-through sensor that builds upon technologies that were developed during our main ERC project. The sensor device combines two different electronic sensors that extract both the size and the dielectric permittivity of microparticles passing through the system in a rapid and high throughput manner. The dielectric permittivity is a robust parameter that can be used to identify plastics from other materials found naturally in the environment. By utilizing this difference at the single microparticle level, our new technology can be used either to eliminate non-plastic materials from samples for down-stream conventional microplastics spectroscopy, or as a stand-alone automated sensor for rapid microplastics quantification in drinking water samples. Here, we will set up a microplastics workbench to cross-validate the accuracy of our proposed technology. After validation and securing the IP rights, we will seek out drinking water samples from water boards across the globe to analyze them in our lab. This will allow us to form networks of collaborators and lead us towards providing rapid microplastics analysis as a commercial service to water regulation agencies. In addition to the potential economic opportunities, we envision that our technology will accelerate microplastics screening and play a significant role in stymie

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Neural architecture for dynamic gesture recognition', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Research objectives and content Gestures are part of everyday natural human cornmunication. They are used as an accompaniment to spoken language and as an expressive medium in their own right. Recently, there have been strong efforts to develop natural, intelligent interfaces between users and systems based on gesture recognition, which can be used easily and intuitively. In the project GESTIK at the Technical University of Ilmenau for example, is currently working in the field of static gestures. The main goal of the research project is to use the motion information obtained from image sequences for gesture-based human-machine-interaction. One part of the project will deal with neural mechanisms for motion-based saliency to support the robust detection of a potential user in an unknown operational area and to complement the existing neural architecture of the project GESTIK. The second and main part of the proposal is to deal with the motion-based description and recognition of dynamic gestures to extend the gesture-based interaction of the project GESTIK from static to dynamic gestures. A neural architecture has to be designed and implemented that is capable to obtain a sufficient, gesture-relevant description of the images within the (video) sequence, and to represent the current dynamic gesture in such a way that an efficient matching against stored gesture instances can be made. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) During the past six months funded by ,,Provincia Autonoma di Trento' I have laid a solid basis of my knowledge in the field of Computer Vision and Neural Networks. Based on this preparation the proposed project will lead a PhD in Neuroinformatics. In addition, the collaboration with excellent scientist such as Prof. H.-M. Gross and h
