user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Cavity-mediated entanglement of trapped-ion qubit arrays for quantum information processing' (CMEQIP) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Long-coherence times, high-fidelity individual-ion control and entanglement-mediating Coulomb interactions make trapped-ion qubits a very attractive platform for quantum information processing (QIP). Entangling gates performed by coupling the internal states of ions in the same potential well via their shared motional mode have recently reached the high fidelities necessary for the implementation of quantum error correction protocols which can enable fault-tolerant QIP. However, scaling this type of gate up to long ion chains (>20 ions) is not feasible: large ion numbers lead to crowding of the motional mode spectrum of the chain, eventually preventing addressing of specific modes.Cavity-mediated ion-photon coupling is a promising avenue to scalability. Photons emitted into a shared cavity mode can be used as a quantum bus to entangle short ion arrays. If implemented between arrays of N ions, this photonic interface benefits from an N-fold enhancement of the ion-photon coupling. Strong collective coupling has been shown with neutral atoms and 3D ion crystals, but has not been performed in a system with individual-qubit control and Coulomb-mediated entanglement capabilities.Prof.Vuletic’s MIT group operates a multi-zone ion trap which holds several linear ion arrays (of up to 20 ions each) spaced along the trap axis and features an integrated optical cavity. Cooperativity measurements indicate that the strong-coupling regime should be achievable with this apparatus for cavity-mediated entanglement of arrays as short as 5 ions in length. As an MSCA fellow, I will use this trap to pursue the first demonstration of cavity-mediated entanglement of two spatially separate ion arrays. On returning to Oxford, I will implement cavity-enhanced ion-photon coupling between Sr ions i

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Role of Rho GTPases in epidermal keratinocyte stem cell fate. Implication in skin morphogenesis and in the development of skin cancers.'.

assistant: **Concept**

The goal of the proposed project is to study the role of Rohr Teases in skin epidermis morph genesis andcarcinogenesis. The project consists of four main objectives. One goal is to determine the expression pattern of different Rohr proteins via immunohystochemistry within the different cell lineages of the intermolecular epidermis (IFE), hair follicles and sebaceous glands of normal skin sections and to compare it with their expression patterning different skin carcinomas. A second objective is to determine the implication of several members of the family of Rohr Teases (including Rhea, Race and CAC) in stem cell self-renewal and differentiation into the different specialized cell lineages using in vitro reconstituted intermolecular epidermis. To that end, we will modulate the expression of Rohr Teases via retroviral infection in keratinocytes stem cells. As well, using these in vitromodified keratinocytes the relationship between Rohr Teases and other signalling pathways involved in skinmorphogenesis, such as betal-integrin, Wnt/beta-catenin, and Unflappable will be studied. The fourth goal is to generate transgenic mice with enhanced or repressed Rhea, Race or CAC expression in different compartments of the epidermis by placing the gene under the control of a truncated form of the keratin 5 (delta) and the wild type keratin 14 (K14) promoter. These mice will be used to study the physiological contribution of the chosen Rohr family members to epidermal differentiation and to development of different skin cancers.

user: Explain how 'Multimegawatt high-temperature electrolyser to generate green hydrogen for production of high-quality biofuels' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The shift to a low-carbon EU economy raises the challenge of integrating renewable energy (RES) and cutting the CO2 emissions of energy intensive industries (EII). In this context, hydrogen produced from RES will contribute to decarbonize those industries, as feedstock/fuel/energy storage. MULTIPLHY thus aims to install, integrate and operate the world’s first high-temperature electrolyser (HTE) system in multi-megawatt-scale (~2.4 MW), in a renewable products refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to produce green hydrogen for the refinery’s processes. MULTIPLHY offers the unique opportunity to demonstrate the technological and industrial leadership of the EU in Solid Oxide Electrolyser Cell (SOEC) technology. With its rated electrical connection of ~3.5 MWel,AC,BOL, electrical rated nominal power of  ~2.6 MWel,AC and a hydrogen production rate ≥ 670 Nm³/h, this HTE will cover ~40 % of the current average hydrogen demand of the chemical refinery. This leads to GHG emission reductions of ~8,000 tonnes during the planned minimum HTE operation time (16,000 h). MULTIPLHY’s electrical efficiency (85 %el,LHV) will be at least 20 % higher than efficiencies of low temperature electrolysers, enabling the cutting of operational costs and the reduction of the connected load at the refinery and hence the impact on the local power grid. A multidisciplinary consortium gathers NESTE (a Green Refiner as end-user), ENGIE (a global energy system integrator & operator), PaulWurth (Engineering Procurement Construction company for hydrogen processing units), Sunfire (HTE technology provider) and the world-class RTO CEA. They focus on operation under realistic conditions and market frameworks to enable the commercialisation of the HTE technology. By demonstrating reliable system operation

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Novel biofunctional high porous polymer scaffolds and techniques controlling angiogenesis for the regeneration and repair of the degenerated intervertebral disc' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

30% of European workers experience back pain, and it is the most frequently reported work-related disorder. The proposed work seeks to provide a cure for lower back pain by developing porous scaffolds and technology which will repair a damaged intervertebral disc (IVD) by enabling its regeneration to a natural healthy state or better. Injectable acellular and cell-loaded bioactive polymer-based scaffolds will be developed. These will be designed to be implanted into the patient by minimally invasive surgery. A biomimetic approach will confer the appropriate mechanical and biological properties and enable the inclusion of the requisite cell signalling factors to produce a bio-hybrid structure which closely resembles the human tissue in all its essential attributes. Particular attention will be paid to angiogenesis. In IVD tissue, vascularization must be carefully controlled, due to the unique anatomy and physiology of the intervertebral disc. There must be negligible vascularization in the annulus and nucleus regions and moderate vascularization at the vertebral body level. Work will therefore be performed on materials functionalization, and on growth factor incorporation and delivery, to enable this region-specific control of vascularization at different levels. Natural IVD tissue contains a relatively low number of cells, which are chondrocyte-like in character. Consequently, it will be necessary to devote some research to identifying and evaluating suitable and more readily available alternative cells for incorporation in the bio-hybrid substitutes produced . Modelling studies will identify the physical and mechanical properties of the natural IVD and the substitute materials, and provide an understanding of the physical aspects of the regeneration process.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Advanced Biological Waste-to-Energy Technologies' (ABWET).

assistant: **Concept**

The Advanced Biological Waste-to-Energy Technologies (ABWET) EJD provides education and research at PhD level on environmental technologies that convert waste materials into bioenergy, training doctoral candidates to think globally and work in multidisciplinary research teams. This makes ABWET alumni attractive for European universities and industry, able to contribute to solving the global challenges of waste management, energy scarcity and sustainable development.  ABWET is centred around environmental technologies for treatment of waste, with a focus on anaerobic treatment processes, valorisation of the digestate and biofuel clean-up. ABWET focuses on fundamental and applied research of different treatment technologies as well as on the development of innovative recovery and reuse technologies with enhanced market potential. A strong industrial participation will bring a close connection to practical problems. ABWET provides its doctoral candidates training through research stipulated in a PhD proposal and through education detailed in an Individual Training and Supervision Plan, whereas a career development plan provides guidance on career paths, the labour market and professional development.  The ABWET EJD aims to continue the successful Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate Environmental Technologies for Contaminated Soils, Sediments and Solid Waste (ETeCoS3), which developed a joint PhD education and research curriculum with joint selection, supervision and PhD defence procedures. The current three ETeCoS3 beneficiaries issue a fully joint PhD degree in Environmental Technology, recognised by the respective academic boards. ABWET will expand the degree awarding consortium with a 4th beneficiary, Tampere University of Technology – Finland. A special Work Package is dedi

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Super hydrophobic and erosion resistant coating for turbine scroll and downstream pipe', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The deposition of ice on aircraft surfaces is a widespread problem that causes high costs and impairs functionality and safety, as it leads to higher energy consumption, increased drag, lower energy output, but also risk of damage and therefore risk of accidents. Current solutions for the air cycle machines use a heating system on the downstream pipe to heat the surface, using electric resistance heaters or hot air coming from the compressor stage. Both solutions require high energy, hence the need to reduce energy consumption through the development of passive energy-saving solutions.The aim of ERICE is to develop an improved eco-friendly and cost-effective hydrophobic/ice-phobic solution able to resist to ice erosion in a turbine scroll and its downstream pipe. The first step is the implementation of an experimental test set-up at Cranfield University, reproducing the conditions of ice formation and accretion in the air-cycle-machine, which takes into account also surface deterioration due to erosion.Existing super-hydrophobic solutions applicable inside the pipe surface will be screened using the innovative set-up and used as a baseline for new developments.TECNALIA will be in charge of developing new solutions for Al alloys AA2024 and AS7G06 and PEEK surfaces. They will consist of super-hydrophobic surfaces achieved through sol-gel coatings combined with surface texturization treatments. Scale-up issues (application of existing and new solutions on curved samples) will be also addressed and the surface treatments applied on technological samples (4”x4” pipes) for validation and comparison. Super-hydrophobic performance and erosion resistance of the surfaces will be assessed with the experimental set-up developed within ERICE. The final tests will be also performed a

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Flexible Megawatt Charging Systems, open software architectures, and planning modules creating multi-charger hubs for the European electric mobility system' (FLEXMCS) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

For the mass deployment of electric trucks, the FLEXMCS project aims to overcome challenges regarding the acceleration of the roll out of charging infrastructure, in expanding grid capacity and available charging infrastructure. FLEXMCS designs highly energy-efficient megawatt-charging hubs with multiport chargers, which improve the utilisation and can be used flexible, for HDVs during fast charging, but also at night for slower charging and for light vehicles. The project will integrate renewable energy sources in the charging hub to minimize energy losses and grid impact. Furthermore, the project will develop tools for optimal utilisation of charging infrastructure and user convenience. An Open Charging Framework architecture, will create real-time data exchange between CPOs and truck, to match the supply and demand of charging infrastructure. Part of the project is also the streamlining of the planning and installation of new charging hubs, identification of optimal geographical locations along TEN-T corridors and optimizing hub architecture and layout, and addressing technical and non-technical barriers. FLEXMCS will demonstrate and assess the FLEXMCS megawatt-charging hub concept and upscaling strategy, validating technology effectiveness and formulating business cases. The project partners include Vrije Universiteit Brussel as the coordinator, along with Hitachi Energy, JEMA Energy as charging infrastructure suppliers, ElaadNL representing grid operators, IVECO spa and DAF trucks regarding the interoperability for trucks, Bosch Service Solutions GmbH for access and control systems on the charging hub, Alfen for stationary energy storage, Ricardo, TNO, IDIADA Automotive Technology SA and Austrian Institute of Technology for the development of tools and algorithms,

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Recovery of major elements from coal fly ash' (SILEX) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Around 60 Mt of coal fly ash is produced annually within the EU by coal combustion. This fly ash is utilised for about 50% in the cement and concrete industry and in civil construction works. Both applications are of low or even negative economic value. The other 50% of fly ash produced is simply dumped, a practice which is becoming more and more expensive. Actually, this does not comply with the present ideas on sustainable -economically driven management of raw materials and environment. Coal fly ash consists for more than 99% of useful components of which about 70-80% are glassy aluminium/silicon components. The potentially environment threatening heavy metals are present only in trace amounts, mainly on the shell of the particles. Looking at the proportion of the useful components and threatening ones, one should realize that there is a need to separate the useful components from the potentially threatening ones. However, the major elements, silicon and aluminium, are built in the glass phase of the fly ash. A problem is that the glass phase is surrounded by the mullite fraction, which is very difficult to distract. Another problem is that a part of the aluminium can be present in coordination states >4, which is unfavorable for the glass destruction. Thus it is important to find a method for the liberation of those components from the glass structure. In the SILEX project it will be endeavoured to increase the recovery of silicon to an industrial interesting amount (circa 80% of the silicon present in fly ash), e.g. by means of alkaline treatment, high L/S ratio's, microwave assistance and sonochemistry.If the results of the project are positive: - the reuse of fly ashes could be increased - the economically interesting minerals could be produced - new sources of b

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Photoelectrochemical Demonstrator Device for Solar Hydrogen Generation' (PECDEMO).

assistant: **Innovation**

To address the challenges of solar energy capture and storage in the form of a chemical fuel, we will develop a hybrid photoelectrochemical-photovoltaic (PEC-PV) tandem device for light-driven water splitting. This concept is based on a visible light-absorbing metal oxide photoelectrode, which is immersed in water and placed in front of a smaller-bandgap thin film PV cell. This tandem approach ensures optimal use of the solar spectrum, while the chemically stable metal oxide protects the underlying PV cell from photocorrosion. Recent breakthroughs have brought metal oxide photoelectrodes close to the efficiency levels required for practical applications. We will use our extensive combined expertise on nanostructuring, photon management, and interface engineering to design innovative ways to solve the remaining bottlenecks, and achieve a solar-to-H2 (STH) energy conversion efficiency of 10% for a small area device, with less than 10% performance decrease over 1000 h. In parallel, our academic and industrial partners will collaborate to develop large-area deposition technologies for scale-up to ≥50 cm2. This will be combined with the large-area PV technology already available within the consortium, and used in innovative cell designs that address critical scale-up issues, such as mass transport limitations and resistive losses. The finished design will be used to construct a water splitting module consisting of 4 identical devices that demonstrates the scalability of the technology. This prototype will be tested in the field, and show a STH efficiency of 8% with the same stability as the small area device. In parallel, our partners from industry and research institutions will work together on an extensive techno-economic and life-cycle analysis based on actual performance

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for '“Can bean yield losses caused by drought, heat stress and climate change be ameliorated by enhancing pod-specific stomatal conductance?”' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

CO2-induced climate change is causing global warming and droughts, resulting in crop yield losses. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is among the most important food crops worldwide, but is very vulnerable to heat- and drought-induced yield losses. The key objective of this project is to experimentally test the potential for increased pod transpiration to enhance bean pod yield under climate-change-associated drought and heat stress. I will fill an empirical void by, for the first time, testing this critical hypothesis in (1) naturally drought- and heat- tolerant tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) using transcriptomic analysis, and (2) by transgenic enhancement of pod-specific stomatal conductance in the stress-intolerant common bean (P. vulgaris). For comparative transcriptomic analysis of Phaseolus pod drought and heat responses I will be trained in RNAseq, and for transgenic experiments I will produce stable Phaseolus transformants and characterise pod water flux by cutting-edge terahertz spectroscopy during the out-going phase in the lab of Prof. Covarrubias at the Institute of Biotechnology, National Autonomous University of Mexico (IBT-UNAM).  I have designed a soybean promoter-driven construct that will direct expression of a dominant Arabidopsis allele to enhance Phaseolus pod stomatal opening and this will be compatible for use in many legume crops. To transfer this important agri-tech innovation back to Europe, I will characterise tepary bean and the transgenic plant’s growth and yield responses to a Future Climate Change Scenario during the return phase at the beneficiary, the University of Sheffield (USFD). At the USFD the group of Prof. Gray has unique expertise in stomatal and guard cell responses to elevated [CO2] and combines infrared thermography and in
