user: Describe how 'Earth Observation & Weather Data Federation with AI Embeddings' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The full potential of the Copernicus Programme unfolds when fused with additional geo-information such as weather models or GNSS measurements. However, no single platform can host all the hundreds of petabytes of geospatial data. Currently, service suppliers download data from different archives, and the sheer volume to be transferred render many applications economically not viable. With Embed2Scale we strive to overcome these limitations enabling efficient exchange of data through AI-based data compression. We will explore the training of deep neural networks on HPC systems with self-supervised learning to transform raw geo-information into embeddings with up to 1000-fold compression. The main innovations will enable i) decentralized applications through substantial reduction of “data gravity”, ii) the portability of geospatial analytics by significantly lowering computational demand, iii) minimizing data labeling by few-shot learning, and iv) the near-real-time similarity search at petabyte scale of Earth observation and weather/climate data archives. The objectives of Embed2Scale target i) the exploration of ground-breaking AI-compressors enabling data federation to proliferate a MLOps reference implementation for embeddings in data centers, ii) to demonstrate data federation on real-world use-cases for the Copernicus Programme, and iii) to enable the Earth observation community by open-sourcing and standardization. Within Embed2Scale, we will benchmark the use of embeddings in four applications: i) maritime awareness, ii) aboveground biomass estimation, iii) climate and air pollution prediction, and iv) crop stress & early yield detection. Overall, Embed2Scale will enable near-real time quantitative assessments of geo-information at continental scale - we respond t

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Chromatin dynamics for gene activation in the developing flower'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This proposal for a career development fellowship aims to assist a young researcher in achieving an independent position in the ERA. To reach this goal, we suggest the following project to decipher the molecular events taking place at plant chromatin during gene activation. Highly flexible plant cell fates allow life-long organogenesis, thus providing adequate models to study developmental processes. Differentiation of small stem cell clusters requires activation of developmental factors to follow proper temporal and spatial patterns. ULTRAPETALA 1 (ULT1) was identified by the hosting team as an activator of key genes involved in flower development of Arabidopsis thaliana.Our working hypothesis is that ULT1 induces transcription by functioning at the crossroads between transcription factors, transcriptional machinery and chromatin remodelers. This will be challenged by determining 1. ULT1 influence on repressive/activating histone mark abundance, respectively deposited by Polycomb/Trithorax group proteins, 2. ULT1 direct target genes and 3. ULT1 binding to chromatin during flower development with temporal resolution. We will employ next-generation sequencing (NGS) and computing methodologies, enabling in vitro determination of DNA binding sites and in vivo analysis of chromatin landscapes in Arabidopsis flowers for which genetic tools enable isolation of synchronised tissues in large amounts. This will permit correlating genome-wide ULT1 temporal binding patterns with changes in chromatin marks, transcriptional state of target genes and binding of putative ULT1 interactors and thus shed light on the chronology of events taking place at chromatin during transcriptional activation. Combined with the proposed training, including acquisition of new knowledge on epigenetics

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Smart solution for connecting process with material characteristics to achieve new generation of digital materials for the automotive industry.' (DigiMAT) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The main objective of the project is to develop a Smart solution for connecting process and material characteristics to achieve a new generation of digital materials in the automotive industry demonstrated by developing a new brake system with an anchor at least 12.5 % lighter and a housing with 10% improved machinability. The new developed solution will reach in next five years to the 35% of the European iron foundry market, 10% of the Worldwide level iron foundry market.  A new smart data management module “DigiMAT module” will be developed by one SME specialized in ICT solutions. Its development will be supported by a sensor network and an advanced data management system already running in the iron foundry company. This smart module will consist on a specific algorithm for each digital material development combined with an automatic protocol definitions system that will conform a specific methodology. It will acquire, store, process and analyze data coming from a previously defined set of trials. . Its validation will be completed with the homologation of new digital materials by the TIER 1 company and by their introduction in the foundry company portfolio. In parallel the TIER 1 company will develop a lighter anchor based on the developed high yield material. This lighter anchor integrated into a new brake system will be functionally homologated by the TIER 1 and final user (OEM). Finally, partners will commonly develop a business plan for quick take up of the project results.Digital materials can have a wide impact in industry and society. First stage will report significant business opportunities to ICT companies and increase turnover of Tier 1 in the brake area of the automotive sector(+30%). The potential application to all type of material can render in signifi

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'African Travellers: Exploring Transcultural Lives in the Atlantic World'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This is a project about the transcultural life trajectories of West African travellers in the Atlantic world, i.e. the world that emerged out of the movements of people, goods and ideas along the seaways of the Atlantic. The aim of the project is to offer a comprehensive explanation of the identity formation of West Africans in the Atlantic world in the eighteenth and nineteenth century.   The hypothesis governing the project is that the lives of West African travellers were tied to structural changes in the Atlantic world, where notions of race gained strength at the expense of ideas about status. The project will aim at forwarding the argument that it was primarily ideas about status that formed the experiences of Africans in North-West Europe and on the Gold Coast in the eighteenth century. In the nineteenth century, however, race had become a category with such strong meanings that it overshadowed competing ideas about status in Europe and seriously challenged them in West Africa.   The project’s most significant and innovative contribution will be the establishment of a relation between the life-stories of individual West Africans and the broader developments of structural constraints in the Atlantic world. Thereby it will be possible to demonstrate that West Africans in Europe were not peculiar exceptions to a world of slavery in the Americas, but figures whose historical presence makes sense in terms of the structural developments of the Atlantic world  The study focuses on West Africans who travelled between the Gold Coast in West Africa, in particular the town of Osu near the Danish trading station Christiansborg, and North-West Europe, in particular Copenhagen in Denmark. The empirical basis of the project is, among other things, provided by a unique and rich

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'HIGHER-EFFICIENCY ENGINE WITH ULTRA - LOW EMISSIONS FOR SHIPS' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The project HERCULES-B is the Phase II of the HERCULES programme, conceived in 2002 as a 7-year strategic R&D Plan, to develop the future generation of optimally efficient and clean marine diesel powerplants. The project is the outcome of a joint vision by the two major European engine manufacturer Groups, MAN Diesel and WARTSILA, which together hold 90% of the world’s marine engine market. The research objectives in HERCULES-B focus on the drastic reduction of CO2 emissions from maritime transport, considering the existing and foreseen composition of the world fleet and fuel infrastructure. The principal aim in HERCULES-B is to reduce fuel consumption of marine diesel engines by 10%, to improve efficiency of marine diesel propulsion systems to a level of more than 60%, and thus reduce CO2 emissions substantially. An additional concurrent aim is towards ultra low exhaust emissions (70% Reduction of NOx, 50% Reduction of Particulates) from marine engines by the year 2020. Today diesel propulsion systems power 99% of the world fleet. HERCULES-B targets the development of engines with extreme operational pressure and temperature parameters, considering the thermo-fluid-dynamic and structural design issues, including friction and wear as well as combustion, air charging, electronics and control, so as to achieve the efficiency / CO2 target. To achieve the emissions target, combustion and advanced aftertreatment methods will be concurrently developed. To improve the whole powertrain, the interaction of engine with the ship, as well as the use of combined cycles in overall system optimization, will be considered. The project HERCULES-B structure of work comprises 54 subprojects, grouped into 13 Tasks and 7 Workpackages, spanning the complete spectrum of marine diesel engine t

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Deciphering the impact of age on root stem cell homeostasis and regeneration'.

assistant: **Concept**

Roots are a plant’s source of support, hydration and nutrition. They originate from stem cells located in apical meristems, making stem cell preservation essential for plant survival. To overcome environmental the threats, plants display a great regenerative capacity. Regeneration is also a bottleneck step in the genetic modification of some of the most relevant crops. Thus, understanding stem cell function and regeneration is crucial for crop improvement in order to feed the growing world population. Most root studies focus on the first week of development. Recent work shows evidence of a juvenile-to-adult transition that remains largely unexplored and suggests that the current knowledge on early stages might not apply later. Root tip regeneration is a powerful model to study stem cell reconstitution; however, despite the negative correlation between shoot regeneration potential and age, it has not been studied in older roots. In contrast, transition to adulthood implies an increase in meristem length, a feature positively associated with regeneration capacity, leaving the question open of whether old roots are more or less competent to regenerate than young roots. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms driving the morphological and physiological changes of maturity, and how they impact regeneration, have yet to be unraveled. This project aims to decipher the impact of age on root stem cell homeostasis and regeneration at cellular and molecular level. To this end, I propose to: 1) compare regeneration performance in young and adult roots; 2) record single-cell transcriptional profiles of ageing and regenerating roots; and 3) identify and validate age and regeneration regulators.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Learning to presuppose' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

One very basic dichotomy in language is that between presupposed and non-presupposed information. Someone who utters the sentence It stopped raining implies that it was raining before, but this is not asserted: the speakers choice of words indicates that h e is taking it for granted that it was raining before; his statement is that it stopped. Languages offer a variety of means for marking the distinction between presupposed and non-presupposed content. Examples are transition verbs (stop, begin) and focus particles (too, even). These devices play a key role in communication, for they serve to signal the division between backgrounded information and the main point of an utterance. In linguistics and philosophy, presuppositions have been studied for decades, but experimental psychologists seem to have overlooked the phenomenon, and nothing is known about how presuppositions are processed.The proposed project would be the first to address the question how and when children learn to deal with presuppositions. The project consists of three studies. The first is a corpus study whose aim is to investigate when and how children learn to use presupposition-inducing expressions. The second is an experimental study designed to determine when children become attuned to t he fact that presuppositions exhibit so-called projection behaviour, which is widely agreed to be their distinctive property. The third study uses a lexical-learning paradigm to assess if young children (2-3 and 4-5 years) can spontaneously distinguish between presupposed and non-presupposed information.The project is to be carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig), which ranks among the best environments worldwide for research in language acquisition, especially with the prop

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Tree Urban Cooling Capacity through Analysis and Simulations (TUCAS) project'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The Tree Urban Cooling Capacity through Analysis and Simulations (TUCAS) project addresses an urgent environmental concern, Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), by developing enhanced cooling models for Urban Plant Canopies (UPCs). Building on cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and LiDAR, the project aims to improve Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models, contributing significantly to the field of urban ecology. The project will focus on two cities with contrasting climates, Palencia in Spain and Freising in Germany, to study the interplay between urban climate and UPC cooling capacities. A planned secondment at the Technical University of Munich will provide valuable knowledge exchange in Green Technologies and UPC Management. The project is expected to have a significant impact on the fellow, enhancing leadership skills, expanding international networks, and deepening understanding of urban ecosystems. The outcomes of the TUCAS project are poised to contribute to scientific knowledge, societal engagement with climate change issues, and efforts to combat global warming.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Metabolically Enhanced Lactic Acid Bacteria for Boosting Cancer Therapy', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Inter-individual variation in cancer therapy responses is significant, with a substantial fraction of patients not responding to treatment. This exposes non-responders to harmful side effects without benefit and results in vast resources being spent on eventually ineffective treatments. A key factor behind this variability is differences in microbiome composition and metabolism. However, translating microbiome-cancer research into live bacterial therapies that modulate the microbiome is challenging due to its complexity and heterogeneity. This project addresses this challenge using safe, robust, metabolically enhanced lactic acid bacteria capable of delivering therapy-boosting metabolites in the gut. We focus on metabolites naturally produced by gut bacteria that have been shown to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy. The engineered bacteria will function as live biotherapeutics, ensuring the targeted delivery of metabolites directly in the gut and thus achieving physiologically beneficial pharmacokinetics. Our approach is distinct from other microbiome therapies due to its clear mechanism of action and the use of a unique platform developed in the ERC project ModEM. It enables rapid metabolic enhancement without genetic engineering, thereby reducing regulatory hurdles and accelerating market entry. Overall, the MELAB project aims to translate core findings from the ModEM project into a novel therapeutic adjuvant with the potential to benefit cancer patients by increasing therapy response rates.

user: Explain how 'Computational mechanisms of teacher-pupil knowledge transfer' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Teaching is one of the most complex and efficient forms for social learning, as it largely mitigates the costs of individual learning through the capitalization of others’ experiences. However, while recent efforts have shed considerable light into how human learning is computationally modeled, very little is known about how human teaching can be computationally implemented in the context of goal-directed behaviours. COMPTEACH is an innovative research program conceived to bridge this gap by combining cutting-edge methods in cognitive science, experimental and social psychology, with state-of-the-art techniques from Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). It aims at understanding the computational makeup of pedagogical knowledge transfer between experienced learners (teachers) and novel naive learners (pupils). COMPTEACH will first identify actors’ choice strategies (as indexed by model parameters) and evaluate the extent to which pedagogical texts crafted by teachers and addressed to pupils lead to meaningful parameter correlations between the two. Secondly, the action will implementNLP tools to identify how the teachers' own computational strategies are encoded in the semantic and syntactic structures of pedagogical texts. Finally, the project will study how the teachers’ own learning process and metacognitive features affect knowledge transfer. By tackling teaching from a computational perspective without losing sight of its socio-cognitive underpinnings,  COMPTEACH will produce a novel quantitative understanding of experience transfer, and establish novel bridges between teaching, cognitive science, social psychology and computational modeling. Future directions of this project will involve studying knowledge transfer in individuals afflic
