user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Environmentally friendly COpper-engineered nanoparticles: innovative FUNgicide to reduce copper accumulation.' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

In modern agriculture, the extensive use of traditional pesticides requires a reevaluation to address the dual challenge of increasing food demand and sustainability. Historically, copper-based fungicides have been crucial in pest management, aiding farmers in the control of fungal or bacterial diseases across a wide range of crops. Additionally, evolving EU regulations are imposing stricter limits on copper-based pesticides use, driven by health and environmental concerns linked to Cu accumulation and in line with the European Green Deal aim of reducing pesticide usage by 50% by 2030. This presents a significant challenge to farmers who must simultaneously manage pests and respect restrictions, especially in vulnerable regions and crops. Currently, few viable alternatives for reformulating Cu-based pesticides are available.ECOFUN proposes a new material based on bioinspired and biocompatible nanoparticles engineered to incorporate copper, with the aim to deliver a more efficient and sustainable fungicide. Moreover, ECOFUN will comprehensively address the efficacy, efficiency, and toxicity of the material through in vitro and in vivo experiments, including field tests. The overarching goal is to reduce copper concentration by a minimum of 50% compared to commercial counterparts. The objectives include the synthesis of the new material and its comprehensive characterization, encompassing the study of Cu release in water, soil, and foliar adherence. Fungicidal activity will be assessed in vitro against three different fungi commonly treated with copper-based fungicides, alongside with cytotoxicity evaluations on target cells. Subsequently, in vivo experiments in field and under controlled conditions, will be performed to validate product efficiency and will involve measur

user: Describe how 'Rethinking African Gender Histories: Time, Change, and the Deeper Past in Northern Mozambique' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

This project aims at rethinking ways of reading and writing change in African gender history. Looking at oral historical narratives and the transgenerational communication of historical knowledge among the Yaawo-speaking people in northern Mozambique, it brings the study of gender in African deeper pasts in dialogue with a cultural analysis of the contemporary historical moment. My starting argument is that our understanding of the contemporary historical moment in African gender history is strongly framed by the gender and development models of the social sciences which emphasize women’s struggle for gender equality in relation to men. This understanding influences the way in which we approach the past and write our research narratives. Through this history writing, women’s historical experiences become fixed within teleological narratives of ‘liberation’ (/‘oppression’). The past is distanced from the present along a linear path, and what is termed the ‘precolonial past’ is isolated as a separate unit of study. In my research, I seek to challenge this temporal model and explore new ways to read and write gendered histories that more fully capture the multiplicity of the gendered temporalities that constitute African existence.Overall, my study has a two-fold objective: Firstly, on the basis of the Yaawo oral historical narratives, it aims to contribute to our understanding of female political and spiritual power in Africa’s precolonial past and the historical processes of change in the colonial and postcolonial contexts. Secondly, I will study how these deeper histories also echo and are reworked in the present and thus constitute the contemporary historical experience in interaction with, for instance, more recent socialist ideas of women’s emancipation and the curre

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Rapid Data Communication Network for Connected Cars' (CarNet).

assistant: **Concept**

Demand for data in cars has grown at a rapid rate. Connected cars now want to communicate between the different areas of the car to understand the status of the car, the environment around it and then communicate this information to the driver. Many Advanced Driver Assisted System applications wish to make use of this data to support the driver to drive safely and to save lives. However, current in-car data communications networks cannot supply this day in a fast, reliable way so that it can be used. The physical environment of the car is challenging, with vibrations, heat and Electro Magnetic interference all meaning that traditional communications networks are unsuitable. They are also not capable of reaching above speeds of 150Mbps, meaning all information is too slow to be useful.KDPOF has developed and patented a breakthrough low-cost technology which allows data transmission at rates of up to 1Gbps. Furthermore, as this technology uses Plastic Optical Fiber, it overcomes all the challenges of the in-car environment. KDPOF have recently launched this product for the consumer and professional markets. The CarNet project aims to support KDPOF to adjust, test and demonstrate the benefits of KDPOF’s Giga technology to the Automotive market. As this market is complex, with a long product development process, the CarNet project will also look to understand fully the business strategy to ensure that the product’s commercial potential is maximized and to ensure that KDPOF is at the forefront of developing the standards that will shape the future in-car data communications market. As a result of this project, KDPOF will grow considerably, doubling their employees by five years after the project and earning a return on investment of over 80%. It will also reduce the costs of

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Spatial economics and remote sensing of elephant resources'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Using state-of-the-art Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking radio-collar technology 'Save the Elephants' is presently tracking over 40 individual African elephants (Loxodonta africana) across the African continent. Thus collected high-resolution temporal data (1-hourly recordings) with its corresponding high spatial accuracy (at least 0.25 km) and coupled to novel tracking software (developed fully in-house) is now beginning to give STE unique access to a wide range of novel and unexpected insights into elephant movement behaviour.It appears that these insights are extremely important for the conservation of elephants in general. For example, early analysis already demonstrates (Douglas-Hamilton et al 2005) that the extended ranges of African elephants have distinct 'home' sectors linked by 'travel' corridors. Within each home area the elephants have favourite core or 'hotspot' zones where they tend to spend much of their time and which consequently are heavily utilised. Home sectors and hotspots tend to lie in protected areas.Connecting corridors typically cross through unprotected habitat and elephants move faster along corridors than elsewhere in their range. We summarize, firstly, that the effective ranges of African elephants are much smaller than previously thought and, secondly, that the animals make unexpectedly complex use of protected and unprotected areas.We conclude that the new kind of GPS radio collar coupled to advanced analysis allows us, finally, to target (with an eye on best protection) elephant home areas and the all important pathways that link them. Our proposal targets funding to further improve our unique tracking software Loxolab by including decision-based models and environmental layers for simulations and analysis of elephant economics.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'DNA-Damage responses: Regulation and mechanisms' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The prime objective for every life form is to deliver its genetic material, intact, to the next generation. Each human cell receives tens-of-thousands of DNA lesions per day. These lesions can block genome replication and transcription, and if not repaired or repaired incorrectly, they lead to mutations or wider genome aberrations that threaten cell viability. To counter such threats, life has evolved the DNA-damage response (DDR), to detect DNA damage, signal its presence and mediate its repair. DDR events impact on many cellular processes and, crucially, prevent diverse human diseases that include cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, immune-deficiencies and premature ageing. While much progress has been made in identifying DDR proteins, much remains to be learned about the molecular and cellular functions that they control. Furthermore, the frequent reporting of new DDR proteins in the literature suggests that many others await identification. The main goals for the proposed research are to: identify important new DDR-proteins and DDR-modulators, particularly those responding to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs); provide mechanistic insights into how these proteins function; and determine how DDR events are affected by chromatin structure, by molecular chaperones and components of the Ubiquitin and Sumo systems. To achieve these ends, we will use molecular biology, biochemical, cell-biology and molecular genetics approaches, including synthetic-lethal and phenotypic-suppression screening methods in human cells and in the nematode worm. This work will not only be of academic importance, but will also indicate how DDR dysfunction can cause human disease and how such diseases might be better diagnosed and treated.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Twinning for Promoting Excellence, Ability and Knowledge to develop advanced waste gasification Solutions' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI) and Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) plan to establish an association to foster the uptake of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) research and innovation in Lithuania and engage the country in pan-European collaborative efforts on this topic. To ensure its success, both institutions need to increase their research excellence in the topic of WtE and develop international networks. To this end, LEI and VMU propose TWIN-PEAKS, a Horizon 2020 Twinning project with the Technical University of Munich (Germany), Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) and WIP Renewable Energies GmbH & Co. KG (Germany). TWIN-PEAKS is based on the development of a joint-research strategy between the partners, the pooling of their research infrastructure, the transfer of scientific knowledge and know-how on WtE research and innovation, the building of academic and non-academic networks, the outreach to end-users of WtE solutions, and a plan for joint-applications for research grants to fund further research projects involving the consortium. It is expected that this Twinning collaboration will increase the research excellence of LEI and VMU, build capacities to form the critical mass of researchers in WtE in Lithuania, develop the international networks of LEI and VMU, increase the production and exploitation of intellectual property, grow the opportunities for collaborations with the industry, and allow LEI and VMU to contribute to national and international efforts for increasing the use of renewable energy through the WtE association to be create by LEI and VMU at the end of TWIN-PEAKS.

user: Explain how 'Optical manipulation of droplets and interfaces in colloid-polymer mixtures' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

With the rising application of microfluidics in a wide variety of fields, full control over fluid interfacial properties, especially at small length scales, is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, a deep understanding of the interfacial dynamics is needed, not only in isotropic fluids with Newtonian flow properties, but also in anisotropic systems and in fluids that exhibit non-Newtonian behavior. Colloidal suspensions have proven an ideal model system for complex fluids, as due to their high tunability and the relatively slow interfacial dynamics they allow study of interfacial phenomena in great detail.We propose to study the interfacial and droplet dynamics in colloid-polymer mixtures using optical trapping techniques. Preliminary experiments have shown that it is possible to manipulate the colloidal liquid-gas interface in a phase separated colloid-polymer mixture with optical tweezers. We aim to systematically study the interfacial dynamics by distorting the interface in a controlled way. Both the static structure and dynamic relaxation behavior will be analyzed using optical microscopy. We furthermore envisage to use optical tweezing to coalesce and break droplets of colloidal liquid. This will shine detailed light on the forces at play, which will yield valuable and quantitative insight in these complex and rich hydrodynamic processes. We will extend our experiments to study the interfacial and droplet phenomena in suspensions of anisometric colloids and polymers, which exhibit isotropic-nematic phase coexistence. The anisotropic nature of the isotropic-nematic interface and the nematic phase itself will strongly influence the interfacial dynamics as well as droplet coalescence and breakup. We expect that combining advanced optical trapping techniques with

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Comparative Study of Seismic Scattering Structures and Temporal Variations in Earth, Mars, and the Moon' (SeisEchoPlanets).

assistant: **Concept**

The deep interiors of planets hold clues to fundamental questions in planetary science: How do planets evolve? Why do some remain geologically active while others fall silent? Earth, Mars, and the Moon, the three neighboring bodies, offer a natural laboratory for addressing these questions. Earth’s convecting core sustains a magnetic field, while Mars has lost its shield and the Moon has been inactive for billions of years. Yet, unlike Earth, Mars and the Moon preserve ancient records of planetary history due to the absence of plate tectonics. Comparing their interiors thus offers a unique view into the diversity of planetary evolution and the conditions controlling geological longevity.Seismology is the most powerful tool for probing planetary interiors, but for Mars and the Moon our knowledge remains fragmentary. Despite seismic data from InSight and Apollo, key parameters such as crustal thickness and core size remain uncertain.This is largely due to strong seismic scattering in their heterogeneous interiors. Scattered waves obscure primary phases much like echoes blur a voice, producing prolonged codas rather than sharp arrivals as on Earth. SeisEchoPlanets (from “seismic echoes” and “planets”) captures the central idea: just as sound reverberates in a hall, seismic waves can reverberate within a planet’s interior when scattered repeatedly, carrying rich information about its structure and evolution. This project treats such echoes not as noise, but as signals that encode the scattering properties and their temporal changes. I will conduct a comparative analysis of seismic codas from Earth, Mars, and the Moon, extracting parameters such as rise time, decay time, and attenuation using modeling and envelope-fitting tools already in my toolkit. The results will form th

user: Describe how 'Multidimensional Spectroscopy at the Attosecond frontier' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The invention of multidimensional spectroscopy was a major leap in nuclear magnetic resonance. Comparable schemes in the optical regime have led to significant advances in our understanding of ultrafast dynamics in complex molecular systems. Currently, these multidimensional approaches are the most powerful and complete measurement schemes for resolving molecular dynamics on femtosecond time scales. The goal of this project is to advance the basic ideas and concepts of multi-dimensional spectroscopy to the forefront of ultrafast science – the attosecond (10-18 second) regime.Attosecond science is a young field of research that has rapidly evolved over the past decade. Leading researchers in the field have opened a door into a new area of research that allows the observation of multi-electrons dynamics on their own natural time scale. Attosecond science lies at the heart of strong field light-matter interactions. These interactions can lead to the generation of attosecond duration XUV and energetic electron pulses, thereby providing researchers with the tools for studying a broad range of fundamental phenomena in Nature which evolve on an attosecond time scale. While an extensive theoretical effort has been invested in studying these phenomena, their experimental observation remains limited. The main limitation is set by the complexity of the interaction that offers numerous channels in which electronic dynamics can evolve.The proposed research program aims at introducing multidimensional spectroscopy in the attosecond regime, thus revealing the underlying complex dynamics behind many attosecond scale phenomena. Integrating state of the art experimental schemes, supported by advanced theoretical analysis, will lead to the discoveries of new phenomena previously inaccessi
