user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'The Evolution of Bacterial Warfare' (MicroWars).

assistant: **Innovation**

Many bacteria are extremely aggressive. They assemble poisoned molecular spears to stab neighbours, they release protein machines that punch holes in competitors and, moreover, some cells will commit suicide in order to launch their attack. While there is a large literature on the evolution of combat and competition in animals, this has focused on why animals are generally reluctant to fight. The evolution of extreme aggression in bacteria, therefore, challenges our current understanding of competition in biology. I will develop bacterial warfare as a model for competitive behaviour by asking three key questions that each build in complexity: 1) Why do weapons evolve? 2) What tactics do bacteria use during combat and why? 3) How does ecological complexity influence the value and use of weapons? My group will examine these questions theoretically and test our predictions using two model species, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which possess very different levels of weaponry. The project has risk and challenges in that bacterial behaviours cannot simply be watched like animal behaviours. To meet these, we will employ a proven combination of individual-based modelling, game theory, competition experiments, experimental evolution, confocal microscopy, molecular genetics, genomics and germ-free mouse work. We will also co-develop new techniques. Freestyle microfluidics will position bacteria and weaponry for study; electron fluorescence cryomicroscopy will image, for the first time, bacterial battlegrounds at the molecular scale. By combining cutting-edge methods with clear evolutionary questions, I aim to provide a major new perspective on combat, and on bacteria. There is currently an intense interest in how bacteria establish in host-associated communities, i

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Climate and marine-ecosystem predictions in the Angola-Benguela Upwelling System', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The Angola-Benguela Upwelling System located off the south-west African coasts sustains a very diversified marine ecosystem. This region undergoes the occasional manifestation of extreme interannual warm events known as Benguela Niño events that can devastate the ecosystem, deplete the fish stocks and therefore affect the economy of south-west African developing countries. To ensure the long-term sustainability of the living marine resources, there is an urgent need to provide reliable and useful seasonal predictions of the marine environment and ecosystems to local stakeholders and economic actors. Recently, studies of the applicant and the host institution have revealed the potential of prediction of those extreme Benguela events. The BENGUP project seeks to develop the first climate-based marine ecosystem predictions of these abrupt environmental events and outlooks of fish stock in this region. Model prediction skills and related uncertainties will be assessed for the key ocean drivers of interannual variability in the region using existing dynamical systems. Based on this knowledge, a new prediction system capturing the predictability of extreme events and their impact on the marine ecosystem will be developed. Given the strong socio-economic and ecological implications, the outputs of this action will not only be of high impact to the local communities and fisheries, but will be also of broad interest to a wide array of disciplines, including marine biologists, climate modellers, policymakers, and members of the informed public. Through the fellowship, I will transfer my knowledge in regional modelling of South-Eastern Atlantic Ocean variability to the host institutions while adding a new discipline (climate prediction) and cutting-edge statistical techniques to m

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE CITY GOODS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS' (ELCIDIS).

assistant: **Innovation**

The current evolution in the organisation of goods distribution in cities has led to a growing use of heavier and heavier goods vehicles in city centres. The nuisances caused by these vehicle to traffic fluidity and environment are growing and are less accepted.To preserve the living environment in cities without impairing traffic and mobility, the problem of goods distribution can be approach in a dual way :- a more efficient logistic organisation of goods distribution can be reached through the development of central goods distribution centres which may reduce the penetration of the city centre by heavy goods vehicles;- a more environmental form of transport can be found in the electric vehicle, wich is particularly suited for use in urban and suburban areas.The project will be focused on a number of European cities in different countries. The ELCIDIS consortium may be divided in three groups according to the measures they want to implement :1. Extension and electrification of existing distribution systems in the cities of Stockholm, Erlangen and Rotterdam;2. Creation of new distribution centres with electric vehicles on a small scale in the city of Stavanger; 3. creation of a new distribution centres with electric vehicles on a larger scale in the cities of La Louviere, La Rochelle and in the Region Lombardia.The innovation aspect is based on the following points :- the development of a goods distribution network based on the deployment of electric vehicles on selected routes radiating from a central distribution point through the city centre, according to the topography of the city, complementing existing goods transport systems assuring efficient modal change and substituting heavy goods vehicles;- the integration of this network in a planning of city traffic takin

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Functionally Accurate Robotic Surgery' (FAROS).

assistant: **Innovation**

FAROS aims at improving functional accuracy through embedding physical intelligence in surgical robotics. A key motivation for introducing robots in operating rooms has been their ability to deliver superhuman performance. However, for the vast majority of surgical procedures, robotic positioning precision alone is not sufficient to realize the “right gesture”. Indeed, surgical accuracy is a different concept from standard engineering notions such as geometric precision, resolution or sensitivity.  This arises from the essence of the surgical tasks: surgeons do not let their gestures be dictated by pure geometric objectives; rather, functional objectives are what they pursue. FAROS explores venues to efficiently embody surgeon-like autonomous behaviour at different levels of granularity. The following key ingredients are foreseen: (1) a rich set of non-visual sensors that form a multifaceted representation of the surgical task; (2) functional models that relate non-conventional sensor signals to functional parameters (e.g. tissue type, quality of tissue or bone, condition of tissue/fluid, tissue damage, perfusion, implant stability, etc.); and (3) functional controllers, obtained through reinforcement learning, that encode physical intelligence and produce sensible autonomous robot actions geared at closing knowledge gaps or optimizing functional performance.  This new concept, which we refer to as Functionally Accurate RObotic Surgery (FAROS), will be showcased on two critical spine surgery use cases, namely: pedicle screw placement and endoscopic lumbar discectomy. A compact yet multi-disciplinary team consisting of academics, industry and end-users will collaborate closely to build up robotic controllers that are better suited at delivering functional accuracy in the

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Preparation of carbon samples for 14C dating by the AMS technique' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The Radiocarbon Laboratory of the Rudjer Boskovic Institute (RBI) in Zagreb has long experience in 14C dating. Since 1969 we have used the gas proportional counter technique with sample conversion to methane, and since 2002 the liquid scintillation counting technique with either benzene synthesis or direct absorption of CO2 obtained from the sample.These techniques require 2-5 g of carbon. In order to expand our activities to very small samples of the size of mg, we plan to develop preparation of carbon (graphite) from small samples for 14C dating and to measure the prepared graphite targets in one of the AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectroscopy) facilities in Europe, namely UGLA-SUERC (Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre, University of Glasgow, UK). To achieve this, we are looking for training of our staff in the UGLA-SUERC AMS laboratory, and for a short-term temporary job position for software specialist who would upgrade our preparation and measurement systems.We also plan to host an expert in AMS dating (from UGLA-SUERC) who could transfer his knowledge and experience, and to perform intercomparison studies of samples prepared in our Laboratory and in the UGLA-SUERC. We ask also for some small pieces of equipment, spare parts, standard samples of known 14C activity and chemicals, with the aim of reinforcing research potential of the Laboratory. The proposal is structured into 6 work packages.The expected results are: a fully operational graphite preparation line in the RBI Laboratory, establishment of co-operation with the UGLA-SUERC Laboratory for measurements of the graphite targets using their accelerator, training and career development of researchers in Croatia, improved competitiveness of the RBI Laboratory for future international projects, better

user: Explain how 'Integrated supervisory control for production plant' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The working group is concerned with the development of methods and tools for the assessment and benchmarking of advanced control systems for manufacturing industries. The intention is to provide companies with a method of assessing the benefits investment in advanced control might bring and to provide a yardstick against which best practice can be measured.The working group has the following main objectives, - Categorise both existing methods by which companies choose advanced control solutions as well as the different types of advanced control solutions and summarise findings; - Obtain a consensus of opinion by means of a survey and questionnaires on the ways control systems should be assessed and provide guidelines giving a formalised procedure; - Provide a software tool that will enable companies to select appropriate advanced control methods by providing details of their application and specification; - Provide guidelines on benchmarking procedures and undertake case study demonstrators; - Consider the problems of designing multi-level control systems that require different control philosophies at different levels of the hierarchy and develop assessment guidelines for such systems; - Consider the problems of systems integration and assess recent trends. The assessment procedures will cover all availabe 'model based' and 'intelligent control' methods. Consideration will be given as to whether 'expert systems' techniques can be used to simplify assessment procedures. In some process industries like petrochemicals, total plant control and supervisory systems have utilised the latest predictive control technologies leading to claims of savings of over a million ECUs per annum. A less well known property of these techniques is that they can be used to provide a co-ordina

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Knowledge and Excellence in European Nanotechnology - Regions' (KEEN-REGIONS).

assistant: **Innovation**

EU Commissioner Janez Potonik stated that “nanotechnology is an area which has highly promising prospects for turning fundamental research into successful innovations.” The potential applications of nanotechnology are wide-ranging and rapidly increasing, demonstrating a field that has the potential to act as a powerful catalyst for economic development.  To gain a competitive position in this exciting terrain and to foster industrial innovation, EU research infrastructures require more and more resources: multidisciplinary competencies, investments for up-to-date technical equipments, skilled HR, and strong links to the business community. To this end, many well-established research centres in Europe are working in research-driven clusters, aggregates of key-players who are not just researchers, but networks of competitive companies and public authorities.  This is the case of Veneto Nanotech (Veneto), Minatec (Rhone-Alps) and Gaia (Basque Country) , which together control more than 200 M€ public investments, 2000 researchers, and 200 research laboratories. If these 3 clusters are to collaborate, combining and integrating their enormous wealth of resources to increase synergies and to complement one another, it will create a huge potential for research and economic development at the EU level.  This is precisely the goal of KEEN (Knowledge and Excellence in European Nanotechnology)-Regions.  A three-step approach (mapping and analysis of existing resources, interactive exchanges and mutual learning, and a focused integration process) will lead to a Joint Action Plan, constructed by all interested stakeholders. Following a bottom-up philosophy and utilising the direct involvement of Regional Authorities, the JAP will ensure a quick and comprehensive implementation. KEEN

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Optimisation and Large-scale Commercialisation of Next Generation Cooling Equipment for Food Industry' (2014-2020) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Fisheries and aquaculture are critical sources of nutrition, income and livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people around the world. World per capita fish supply reached a new record high of 20 kg in 2014. Fish continues to be one of the most valuable traded food commodities worldwide with more than half of fish exports by value originating in developing countries. Despite industry growth there have been very modest technological advances in chilling fresh foods resulting in high levels of food waste, lost revenues and an unacceptable environmental impact.Production and Harvest International AS (PHI) is a seafood company with harvesting, processing and refrigeration technology expertise. It has identified a major gap in the cold chain market in the European Union and indeed worldwide and is targeting commercial opportunities throughout the fresh food value chain with nanoICE technology. The innovation of nanoICE responds to inefficiencies within the seafood and other fresh food industries. nanoICE is a patent pending technology that addresses the deficiencies of other commercial ice products used today by addressing the challenges faced by seafood harvesters and processors, namely: product weight retention; longer shelf-life; improved appearance; reducing hard labour; limited space for catch and trying to improve on these at an affordable price. nanoICE is game changing ice machine that delivers a combination of break-though solutions for all these challenges. Through nanoICE technology PHI’s mid-term goal is to become a market leader fresh chilling solution with a minimum of 8.5% of total EU market in aquaculture, medium and small sized fishing vessels and processors. PHI has licensed and recently acquired the IP rights to further refine the development nanoICE to

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Identification of molecular signatures determining early metastatic spread of lung carcinomas in women' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Lung cancer is the most common lethal cancer type in the world, causing approximately one million deaths a year. In most cases mortality is linked to metastasis. Epidemiological data indicate that women are more susceptible compared to men for contracting lung cancer. Additionally, women tend to get mostly pulmonary adenocarcinomas, which is harder to detect by even invasive diagnostic techniques such as bronchoscopy. Reasons for these gender differences are largely unknown.Bone marrow is a common homing or gan for early disseminated lung cancer cells, with up to 50% of tumours not showing any metastases in lymph nodes still having micrometastatic cells in their bone marrow. These cells can be detected by sensitive immunocytochemical assays and their presence predicts the subsequent occurrence of overt metastasis. Recent results have shown that systemic dissemination of breast tumour cells via the blood circulation appears to be an early and selective process associated with specific molecular signature of the primary tumour.In the proposed project, we plan to use lung cancer as a tumour model, and perform a genome-wide expression and genetic screening of primary tumours and relate our findings to the capacity of early tumour cell dissemination. We will focus o n a well-defined group of female smokers because so far little is known on the particular biology of lung carcinomas in this growing group of patients. By comparing carefully selected tumours with and without micrometastasis, we expect to identify genetic determinants and regulatory pathways driving metastatic spread of epithelial tumours. We will use mainly different state-of-the-art high-throughput microarray-methods in combination with novel analysis for micrometastasis detection. Finding those patients whose
