user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Enrichment of oxygen in lean gases for the application in block type thermal power units'.

assistant: **Concept**

One way to make the air-lean gas mixture ignitable in a motive combustion as it occurs unblock type thermal power units is to shift the ratio between oxygen and nitrogen in the air-lean gas mixture. This would drastically broaden the applicability of block type thermal power plants with all their economical and ecological benefits. The enrichment of oxygen with the recently applied technologies is too expensive to allow small and medium sized block type thermal power units to operate economically. The objective of the proposed research project is therefore to enrich oxygen in the sucked motive combustion air with a special pressure swing absorption process which enriches oxygen from 21% in air up to 35% during the absorption step of the process. This quantity of O2 ensures a stable ignitability of lean gases. The combustion process has to be adjusted to the new combustion mixture with the oxygen enriched air to ensure high efficiencies and low emissions.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'African European Maker Innovation Ecosystem' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Concept**

This proposal addresses a missing link in the current landscape of digital innovation for manufacturing. mAkE focuses on makerspaces as key players of local digital innovation ecosystems and global collaboration networks, which are complementary to the current efforts in digitisation in Europe and central for localised production in Africa. mAkE will build on existing networks of makerspaces as key drivers for local digital innovation in Africa and establish mutual relationships and sustainable networks with European DIHs. Via capacity building activities mAkE will equip African makerspaces and their attached local SMEs and digital start-ups with entrepreneurial and digital skills, and offer concrete incubation, mentoring and matching activities to drive digital transformation. mAkE’s matching and networking activities will link local digital innovators in makerspaces with ICT professionals, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers and policy makers, fostering investments in African digital innovations and creating a sustainable and strengthened EU-Africa start-up ecosystem. mAkE has chosen to work with makerspaces because of the important and growing role they play in the digital innovation ecosystem, particularly in Africa where manufacturing has been identified as a critical growth area to bring more jobs to the African economy. The aim of mAkE is to reinforce cooperation and strategic partnership with selected countries in Africa to support the strengthening of existing digital innovation hubs (DIHs) in Africa and to facilitate the collaboration between EU and African DIHs in order to strengthen a common EU-Africa innovation and start-up ecosystem. This project will focus on connecting Makerspaces, Fablabs, Open Hardware and Software Innovation that perform Critical &

user: Draft an impact statement for 'EUropean Network for Initial and Continuing Education in VLSI/SOC TESTing using remote ATE facilities', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The project addresses the shortage in microelectronics engineers with skills in testing of mixed-signal circuits for multimedia/telecom market. The project aims at providing test-training facilities at a European scale in both initial and continuing education contexts. This will be done by allowing the academic and industrial partners of the consortium to train engineers using the common test resources centre (CRTC) hosted at LIRMM (Montpellier, France). CRTC test tools include up-to-date/high-tech testers that are fully representative of real industrial testers as used on production test floors. At the end of the project, we aim at reaching a normal operating of about 16 engineers/year/centre. Each trainee will have attend at least one-week training using the remote test facilities of CRTC.Objectives:The microelectronic industry suffers a shortage of microelectronic engineers with skills in test development, ranging from simple awareness of test problems to the full skill and competence in IC testing. The training resources in this field are insufficient, however, for instance in France they are limited to 150 trainees per year. It is the objective of the present project to implement a European network for test education, based on the existing French experience and infrastructure in this domain, while the students can be trained locally in each node.Work description:EuNICE-Test will consist of a common test resource centre, namely the CRTC hosted at LIRMM (Montpellier, France), and nodes at academic centres in Spain, Italy, Germany and Slovenia. Very high cost Automatic Test Equipment is provided at the centre in LIRMM by the industrial partner. The nodes will be equipped with workstations, and with a server with test development software and remote connection to the t

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Climate Science from Space: Synergies for a greener innovation economy Conference', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The Portuguese Presidency, with the support of the European Commission, and in coherence with national strategic priorities aims organising an event entitled: Climate Science from Space: Synergies for a greener innovation economy. This event (conference) is held under the auspices of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education underlying issues of major relevance to the Societal Challenge Climate Action. Hence, featuring innovation and technologies towards clean transformation with the aim of providing an appropriate balance between environmental, economic and social elements. The concept dovetails with the 18-month Trio (DE-PT-SI) Programme of the Council on the need to foster a competitive space sector and its integration into European economy, including in promoting market driven approaches and opening space to new actors.The conference shall be focused on how European space programmes, with especial relevance for Copernicus, can be meaningful for the implementation and monitoring of climate actions. Space activity encompass an important innovation component, always at the edge of the scientific-technological development. Fighting climate change and achieving the transition to a climate-neutral society with investments in space related programs always ensure a very high level of research and innovation, and the generation of new high skilled jobs. Assessing the benefit and overall coherence of existing and planned actions in the field of research and innovation in the context of a wider European strategic global role in the space ecosystem is also behind the concept. Therefore, underpinning the outputs of past R&D activities, their positive impact on improved resource efficiency, climate resilience and the contribution of Earth Observation data will posi

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'High-dimensional data processing: from theory to imaging applications' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The unstoppable increase in the volume of data stored, transmitted and interpreted by fixed and mobile devices strongly calls for the study of efficient solutions in processing the information contained in high-dimensional signals. Such need has been reflected in the recent flourishing of research efforts from the statistics, machine learning, computer science and signal processing communities. Within this multidisciplinary research ground, the proposed project will address the central question that can be formulated as -- what is the maximum level of information contained in large datasets that we can process from a small number of features, and how is it possible to achieve such limit in practice?Recent advances in information processing have demonstrated that a promising mathematical tool to tackle this question is represented by the Bayesian approach, in which statistical models inferred from training samples accurately describe the data. In fact, the Bayesian framework offers fundamental advantages in modeling high-dimensional signals in terms of mathematical tractability of performance limits as well as enhanced capabilities in information processing. Beyond the study of performance limits, the proposed project will involve case studies and applications in image processing. The researcher will be able to establish active collaborations with various research groups, in different department of Cambridge University, that test their research results on actual imaging devices.This project will also form the proposer to his future independent research activity and it will provide him with new mathematical skills and practical implementation expertise with actual imaging systems. On the other hand, Cambridge University will benefit from the cross pollination of ideas bro

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'AnalysinG of fossil-ENergy dependence in agriculture to increase RESilience against input price fluctuations' (AgEnRes).

assistant: **Concept**

The recent variations in the price of fossil fuels and mineral fertilisers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine threaten the incomes of primary producers and affordability of food for consumers. This threat will remain, as the pathway towards fossil fuel independence and related investments in less fossil-fuel-intensive technologies in the EU agricultural sector will take time. All this shows that there is an urgent need to design realistic, sustainable pathways for supporting the energy transition of the European agricultural sector and improving the income of primary producers. AgEnRes designs sustainable pathways for policy making to reduce direct and indirect dependence of farmers and the agricultural sector as a whole on fossil fuels and fertilisers, and increase the resilience to volatile energy prices, taking into account farmers’ behaviour and the synergies and trade-offs between European economic and environmental objectives at micro- and macro-level. Our approach consists of three components supported by outreach activities, which involve stakeholders and the general public throughout the project's lifespan. The first component develops a conceptual and data framework to identify policy targets and measures, promising technologies, and data and model requirements. Component one results among others in an EU wide database on energy use and mitigation potentials at different scales. The second component focuses on evidence of the past and present energy dependence of the European agricultural sector and preferred solutions. The third component builds on the first two and incorporates them into a set of foresight models at farm, regional, and market levels to evaluate the impacts of innovations and policy measures and targets a

user: Describe how 'The photo-regulation of plant architecture and performance' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This project will exploit the molecular genetic basis of the photo-regulation of plant architecture to improve crop plant performance in the field. In this programme, we will co-ordinate the skills and experience of European plant photo-biologists, geneticists, molecular biologists, cell biologists and genetic engineers, all of whom are major players at the international level, with the practical acumen of plant scientists in highly relevant European industrial companies. We will use gene modification, mutant selection and transgenic plant creation to elaborate a strategy through which fundamental knowledge of plant architecture regulation will be applied to the molecular breeding of new strains of crop plants with improved agronomic performance. Plant architecture - i.e., the shape and form of individual plants - is a prime determinant of the capture of light energy in photosynthesis and the allocation of resources to individual components, such as stems, leaves, roots, tubers and seeds. Plant architecture is profoundly sensitive to signals from the light environment and these photo-morphogenic responses crucially determine the patterns of growth and development at seed germination, seedling emergence and establishment, throughout the productive lifetime of the plant as it competes with neighbours, and during the reproductive phase. The isolation and characterization of the gene families encoding the major signal-transducing photoreceptors has provided a fertile background from which now to launch a programme that will utilise our knowledge towards crop plant improvement. Very recently, Partner 1 has demonstrated the success of this approach by the transgenic elimination of shade avoidance responses in tobacco, resulting in profound changes in plant architecture and im

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Collective neuron dynamics in animals and plants'.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of the proposal is to model the coupled neuron behaviour within a single cortical module and code the collective activity of previous modules through suitable indicators. This would be a contribution toward a dynamically rooted Theoretical Neuroscience, complementary to other approaches.The collaboration of scientists from different fields as Physics, Biology, Neuroscience and Psychology, will contribute to interdisciplinary aspects of the proposed project, being however, focused on the common problem: the understanding of the brain functioning.According to the above description of the problem we establish the following research lines: study of dynamics of homoclinic chaos (HC) and synchronization of HC arrays, exploring higher cognitive functions as decision making and neural computation, study of time limited psychophysical tasks, study of neurobiology of plants and applications to development of bio-robots inspired by plants (plantoid).The research method mainly will consist on numerical work, carried both on differential equations and coupled map lattices. A new line of analog programmable chips is being prepared to assist the numerics with fast preliminary results.Furthermore a two-way interaction with experimentalists is planned in order to formulate appropriate models with meaningful parameter values and vice-versa what suggest laboratory implementations of theoretical conjectures.The objectives of the proposal are the following: selection of the optimal neuron dynamical model, compare neuron array coupling and synchronization with pattern formation in reaction-diffusion media, start exploring quantum implications and corresponding parallelism in brain computation, define collective indicators and find the psycho-physical counterpart, apply the above stra

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Assessing the Toxicity and Hazard of Non-dioxin-like PCBs present in food' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

NDL-PCBs are poorly characterised from a toxicological point of view, and to date, there is no health risk assessment available. Since NDL-PCBs constitute a major part of the PCBs found in food and human tissues it has become an urgent matter to advance the understanding of their toxicity. The topic has recently been discussed in several organisations, which provide advice to the regulators. Neurobehavioural, reproductive and developmental toxicity, and tumour promotion have been pointed out by the European commission to be of particular concern. The present project proposal ATHON addresses all of these effects, as well as indicators for immunotoxicity, endocrine disturbances, general liver toxicity, and NDL-PCB metabolism. Studies will be designed to meet the quantitative and qualitative requirements on toxicological data for use in the hazard assessment procedures. Efforts will be made to identify toxicological mechanisms and outcomes, specific for NDL-PCBs. Such knowledge is a prerequisite for future meaningful studies of NDL-PCB epidemiology. The major objectives are to: 1) establish quality-controlled experimental in vivo and in vitro models for studies of NDL-PCBs 2) provide toxicokinetic data of for NDL-PCBs 3) provide quantitative and qualitative toxicity profiles for NDL-PCBs 4) provide a new classification strategy for NDL-PCB congeners based on effect biomarker information 5) provide an up-to-date compilation and evaluation of toxicological effect and exposure data on NDL-PCBs and PCB metabolites A multidisciplinary approach is required to achieve the objectives, and a consortium with a wide range of expertise has been established. Non-EU partners, project collaborators, and an international advisory board are involved to meet the international dimension of t

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'EndocartoScope: Transforming any Endoscope into a Smart Device for Intraoperative 3D Localization, Navigation and Mapping' (EndoCartoScope).

assistant: **Concept**

Endoscopes traversing cavities, such as the colon, larynx or bladder, are routine in diagnostic and therapy. However, today endoscopes have no geometric understanding of the explored cavities. The unique EndoCartoScope value is a real-time intraoperative 3D cartography for endoscopy, i.e. a per-patient 3D map of the cavity simultaneous to the localization of the endoscope within the map, using only the video from a standard endoscope. In the short term, EndoCartoScope unlocks the detection of missing areas (coverage), AR navigation to improve coverage and measurements of polyps or stenoses. In the long term, it will be the key component for autonomy in  any robotized endoscopic device.Our core technology is VSLAM: Video-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. Our starting point are the medical VSLAM key components developed by the UNIZAR team in the previous FET EndoMapper, that reached TRL3. These components will be assembled in a working system at TRL4 to provide the base technology for coverage, navigation and measurement. To reach TRL5, IISA will lead the clinical validation of these applications, using as benchmark the standard metrics used in clinical practice. We will achieve TRL6 for coverage with an extensive test on ODIN vision’s  commercial cloud system for endoscopy. From a business perspective, out-of-body VSLAM is a rapidly growing market. However, there are no commercial applications of medical VSLAM. Now is the right time to pioneer medical VSLAM and secure a strong position in this highly promising market. We will develop the business model and identify the regulatory environment for commercialization. By the end of the second year, the UNIZAR team will create a spin-off company with the technological know-how and exclusive IP rights, to start the
