user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Remembering Activism: The Cultural Memory of Protest in Europe' (ReAct).

assistant: **Innovation**

Mass demonstrations are newsworthy. But how are they remembered when they are no longer news? Social movements are usually studied in terms of their emergence and subsidence. Despite recognition that activists are ‘inspired’ by precedents, the afterlife of activism in story and image has never been systematically explored. ReAct contends that knowledge about this cultural memory is needed for a full understanding civil resistance.ReAct will provide the first in-depth account of the remembering and forgetting of activism in Europe since the late 19th century. It will reveal continuities and changes in how protest has been depicted in different media regimes; demonstrate the role of texts, images, and commemorative practices in conveying the memory of protest to later generations; and show how this memory feeds back into later movements at home and abroad. The project is designed around case studies from periods of heightened activism in Europe: 1871-1914; 1960-1970; 2011-2012. Work packages follow 3 intersecting lines of inquiry: mediation (what cultural frames have been used to turn activism into transferable knowledge?); afterlives (how has the memory of particular movements been culturally transmitted?); memoryscapes (how have later movements referenced earlier ones?). A key innovation is network visualization to map the reproduction of narratives and references to predecessors. ReAct will effect a major reorientation in cultural memory research: by developing analytic tools with which to capture the cultural transmission of hope, it provides an alternative to the trauma-based models that currently dominate the field. It will also open up a new area of social movement research by revealing traditions of civic memory and how it is culturally produced. Outside of the ac

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Transdisciplinary methods for societal impact assessment and impact creation for security research technologies'.

assistant: **Concept**

Current European research and innovation (R&I) and security policies aim to address challenges that threaten European societies by deploying security technologies. Security technologies are typically intended to promote public safety, security and increase societal resilience. At the same time, security technologies spur controversies and can have enormous societal, legal, ethical, economic and political impact. Such technologies often infringe human rights, reproduce and reinforce power imbalances and social injustice. Civil society is rarely or restrictively involved during research and development of security technologies, and thus societal concerns might not be well addressed in this process. Security technologies and R&I should not create societal mistrust or missed opportunities to jointly build societal resilience. TRANSCEND aims to improve practices of citizen and societal engagement in security R&I: to enable individuals, and organisations that speak on their behalf, to participate actively and creatively in iterative processes of design and deployment. TRANSCEND will develop a Toolbox of methods to enhance the involvement of civil society in security R&I. The Toolbox will be tested and evaluated in four pilots, in close collaboration with diverse ‘on the ground’ organisations by bringing together transdisciplinary actors from academia, government, industry and society (Quadruple Helix). The TRANSCEND Framework will present guidelines on how to design and structure meaningful civil society and public engagement for societal impact assessment for security research technologies and present domain-specific instructions for the use of the TRANSCEND toolbox. TRANSCEND will contribute to the uptake of effective methods for citizen and societal engagement throughout t

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Water liberalisation scenarios : an empirical analysis of the evolution of european water supply and sanitation sectors' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

This research project aims at analysing the consequences of the liberalisation of the water supply and sanitation sectors in economic, ecological, social and institutional terms. This is done by means of exploring different liberalisation scenarios, which, in turn, result from three separate analyses, namely (1) an analysis of the evolving water market in both distribution and sewerage, (2) an analysis of the evolution of the different enterprises ' strategies, and (3) an analysis of existing legislation and regulations at the EU country level (including Switzerland) and their likely evolutions in light of the EU's water Framework Directive and its implementation. The research will be conducted by a team of highly qualified researchers from all over Europe (Belgium, France , Germany , Italy , Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom) under the direction of Prof. Marten Boland from IHE, assisted by professor Finger.

user: Describe how 'External knowledge sourcing strategies for environmental innovation in the industrial sector of Nigeria' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Majority of the current business models and production technologies are not only unsustainable, they are incapable of delivering long-term transition to low-carbon economy. Many firms are now looking beyond their internal knowledge boundaries in order to be competitive. Access to external knowledge through open innovation has thus been recognized as an important source of firm’s innovativeness. This even becomes more important for eco-innovative firms (EIs) as their knowledge bases are quite complex and diverse. As such, EIs must be willing to pursue an innovation strategy with a large portfolio of external knowledge inputs. As critical as this issue is, few evidence exist on how EIs access both synthetic and analytic external knowledge for competitive advantage. The main objective of this proposal therefore, is to examine the dynamics of alliance portfolio or external knowledge sourcing strategies for eco-innovation in the manufacturing and service sectors of Nigeria using both qualitative and quantitative data. The research will investigate and answer questions such as: to what extent do firms in Nigeria search for knowledge outside their competence before absorbing and internalise such external knowledge to eco-innovate? Is there a threshold beyond which deep search for external knowledge diminishes propensity to eco-innovate? Does R&D reduce cognitive distance between external knowledge providers and EIs? Data will be collected from the firms in both sectors using questionnaire and structured interview guide. The study will use stratified sampling technique to select firms using the National Bureau of Statistics and the Nigerian Stock Exchange registers as sampling frames. The study will borrow from evolutionary economics and national innovation system framework to

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Expression and function or Resistin-like molecule alpha in asthma pathogenesis and fibrosis' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Concept**

Currently there is an epidemic of asthma in the western world and the incidence is rising in alarming rates. Experimentation in the asthma field has identified involvement of Th2 cytokines (e.g IL-4 and IL-13), chemokines, mucus hypersecretion, airway obstruction, eosinophilia, enhanced airway hyperreactivity to spasmogens in the asthmatic response and the presence of fibrosis. IL-4 and IL-13, “hallmark” Th2 associated cytokines are markedly elevated in the asthmatic lung and are central regulators of many of the hallmark features of disease and is now viewed as a critical cytokine in disease pathogenesis. Resistin is a hormone that was originally identified in adipose tissue and shown to promote insulin resistance and possibly obesity. However, it is now appreciated that resistin belongs to a newly defined family of resistin-like molecules (Relm) including Relm-alpha, Relm-beta and Relm-gamma that are potent innate immune regulators, and are implicated in Th2-associated immune responses. Indeed, Relm-alpha was originally identified in inflammatory zones associated with an experimental allergic airway disease model and has been called Found in Inflammatory Zones (FIZZ) 1. Recently, I have characterized a pro-inflammatory, regulatory role for Relm-alpha in experimental colitis. Furthermore, I have identified Relm-alpha as one of the highest upregulated IL-13 induced genes in the murine asthmatic lung. Collectively, implicating an important role for Relm-alpha in lung allergic inflammatory responses. The central hypothesis of this grant application is that allergen-induced lung inflammation and fibrosis are regulated by Relm-alpha. To define the role of Relm-alpha in such settings I aim to define the expression pattern, molecular regulation and cellular source for Relm-al

user: Explain how 'MediaCare: Empowering Caregivers of Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders through Media Literacy.' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

In our digitally driven world, caregivers of children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs) deal with an avalanche of information. While information is more accessible than ever, it is also more prone to misinformation, adding to the already significant challenges these caregivers face. The EU defines misinformation as misleading or false information spread across various media. Such misinformation, often disguised as genuine advice, can mislead caregivers, affecting their care decisions and steering them away from evidence-based approaches. In its commitment to fostering a digitally inclusive society and fight misinformation, the EU agenda highlights the role of media literacy, enabling individuals to evaluate and critically interpret media messages. Yet, a gap exists: no media literacy initiatives are tailored to the unique needs of caregivers of children with NDDs. MediaCare is an interdisciplinary initiative blending media literacy and care research to bridge this gap. In MediaCare, I aspire to develop a novel web-based application to enhance media literacy skills for caregivers of children with NDDs. MediaCare objectives are clear: (1) To identify prevalent caregiver media misinformation on NDDs; and to build the MediaCare app to counteract them, offering (2) trusted resources, (3) aid in discerning information, and (4) fostering a digital care community. With a User-Centered approach and gold-standard methods, from a stakeholder-engaged review to usability testing and a Randomized Controlled Trial, MediaCare aligns with the EU's Digital Education Action Plan, promising a pioneering media literacy solution for caregivers. The FORLIPSI department at the University of Florence, a leader in media literacy research, offers me an ideal setting for this project, under

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Mini-grid construction kit for rural electrification with renewable energies ('MINI-GRID-KIT')' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Objectives and problems to be solved:- Development of construction kits implementing both supply components and typical loads for rural electrification in Europe and South East Asia. The innovative part will be an energy management integrating knowledge of the used components. This will increase the rate of exploited renewable energy and therefore will lead to a cost reduction.- An account mechanism will be developed that allows system suppliers and utilities to sell energy and not only the systems themselves. Variable energy prices will be included and aspects of multi-user village grids are taken into account. - An easy-to-handle knowledge based system will help energy planners to select their best option of a mini-grid-construction kit, and to conduct a quick pre-feasibility study for the selected RET-system for their specific application. Description of the work:- After the evaluation of the needs in the target regions the loads for integration into the construction kit will be determined. Together with the supply components the construction kit itself will be designed with respect to different category sizes for an easy implementation of supply components and an easy adoption of the pre-defined loads. After a review of energy management strategies the EMS will be developed taking into account known supply and known load components with the aim to increase the rate of exploited renewable energy. Load management will assure highest reliability of the most important applications.- After a review of existing solutions for multi-user systems and identification of problems a strategy will be developed with regard to social aspects when a limited amount of renewable energy has to be shared to multiple users. A prototype counter for selling renewable energy will be develop

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Ultrafast Lasers and Attosecond Dynamics' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Attosecond technology realizes the century-old dream of direct measurement of electron dynamics at the atomic scale.  The ensuing experimental cornucopia, with many publications in Nature and Science, underscores the need for better analytic tools to explain the data, as a step towards a better physical foundation for a truly multi-disciplinary science. Current theoretical technique must be substantially improved to properly address some recent experimental controversies, such as measurements of quantum tunneling time.  In particular, high harmonic generation (HHG), crucial to many experiments in attosecond science, requires a clearer ""physical picture"" than semi-classical models allow.  A major goal of this proposal is to provide a theoretical framework for the experiments performed by Prof. Keller's group (ETH, Zurich) and others, and thereby to bring light to current debates. The research will develop analytic techniques to calculate quantum tunneling time in HHG, and better explain other steps of the HHG process, in particular the generation of attosecond pulses via quantum path interference and the interaction of the continuum electron with the laser pulse.  The analysis will address both quantum and classical regimes of HHG: e.g., the quantum tunneling calculation will use a path integral approach, the interaction of the continuum electron with the laser field will employ plasma physics techniques, etc.  Both of these approaches match well with the Fellow's background:  the path integral approach was previously used to study escape from a potential well, and the Fellow's dissertation focuses on the interaction of charged particles with E&M fields.  The project offers a possibility of close collaboration with the Fellow's graduate institution of Princeton Univers

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Evolutionary Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases' (EVOLEPID).

assistant: **Concept**

Our ability to control infectious diseases relies on a better understanding of epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics of pathogens. I will develop a research program combining theoretical and experimental approaches. First, I will extend the theoretical framework of evolutionary epidemiology into several new directions to study (1) the evolution of host and pathogen key life-history traits (parasite virulence, host resistance and host manipulation by the parasite) and, (2) the dynamics of adaptation of pathogens in constant and variable environments. This part of the project will be grounded on both mathematical epidemiology and population genetics. Second, I will use two biological models to test some of these theoretical predictions both in the laboratory and in the field: (1) I will study the interaction between the avian malaria parasite (Plasmodium relictum) and its mosquito vector (Culex pipiens) to test some of the predictions generated on life-history evolution, and in particular on host manipulation by the parasite. (2) I will study the evolutionary dynamics of the coliphage phix174 under different scenarios of environmental heterogeneity to test the predictions issued from models on the dynamics of adaptation in variable environments. In addition, I will measure patterns of adaptation across space and time using natural samples of viral and bacterial communities. The originality of this project lays in the combination of different perspectives on the dynamics of infectious diseases, ranging from theoretical population genetics to experimental behavioural ecology and evolution. Combining these different perspectives will yield a more comprehensive view of the dynamics of infectious diseases and contribute to the improvement of public-health interventions.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Dissecting Dust in the Distant Universe: A Panchromatic Study with JWST and ALMA' (DistantDust).

assistant: **Innovation**

At the core of galaxy evolution is the evolution of the baryonic components that modify the observable properties of galaxies. A crucial component of the baryonic matter is the interstellar medium (ISM) that consists of gas and solid-phase metals called dust. Interstellar dust determines how galaxies look like from UV to IR, how the ISM behaves, and the very process of star formation that creates the stellar component that defines a galaxy. Despite our wealth of knowledge about dust in local galaxies, very little is known about the properties of dust grains, where it resides inside galaxies, and how it is formed, beyond the nearby Universe (i.e., at high redshifts). The fundamental importance of advancing our knowledge about dust at high redshifts is further underlined by the vital need to correct for its attenuation effects in the observed rest-frame UV/optical emission of high-redshift galaxies. This situation will fundamentally change in the next few years owing to the unprecedented capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This ERC program capitalizes on the massive technological advance of JWST to take a holistic approach, physically and observationally, and conduct a panchromatic study of dust emission and absorption properties at two key cosmic epochs:1) z~1-3, dubbed as Cosmic Noon, the peak epoch of cosmic star formation activity, and 2) z~5-10, the early Universe and the epoch of reionization. Owing to my leading role in multiple deep extragalactic JWST surveys, my ERC group will take full advantage of the very first data from this revolutionary observatory. This will be done in synergy with ALMA and other powerful ground-based observatories such as VLT and Keck to observe the attenuation and emission properties of dust from rest-frame UV to submm
