user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Early Language Development in the Digital Age' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Concept**

Despite the rapid change in children’s ecology and the rapid advance of technology, research on the impact of digital technologies on children’s communication and language development is still scarce and highly fragmented with no unitary approach across disciplines. The central scientific goal of e-LADDA is to establish whether the new and quite intuitive interactions afforded by digital tools impact on young children’s language development and language outcomes in a positive or adverse way, and respond to the need to train new brands of interdisciplinary researchers to support this scientific goal. We further aim to establish exactly what factors in both the technology itself and the communication channel advance language learning and growth or may impede it.  This goal will be pursued from a highly interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial perspective bridging between research disciplines and methodologies and in collaboration with industry and the non-academic public sector. The main objectives of e-LADDA are 1) to provide a platform for the training of the next generation of scientists drawing for the first time on interdisciplinary perspectives from basic, applied and translational research on language learning in the digital age, 2) to provide a unified research approach to the benefits and drawbacks of digital technologies for young childrens’ language learning, 3) transform and develop new digital solutions that benefit learners, and 4) to provide guidance to policy makers, educators, practitioners and families in how emerging digital environments should be navigated, regulated and transformed. The ESRs will benefit from interdisciplinary training through substantial mobility, and direct collaboration across a complementary  team of beneficiaries and partners at the

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Activities to stimulate and enhance Innovation and raise the level of competitiveness of the European Biotech industry'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The biotechnology sector has the potential to make a major contribution to Europe's future economy and society. Because of the Lisbon Declaration, the Commission is seeking to stimulate the emergence of high growth companies to boost innovation and economic growth as well as helping Member States to reach the target of 3% of GDP invested in research, of which 2/3 should come from the private sector.The Commission set 15% as a target for the number of SMEs to be involved in FP6, but the actual number has fallen short of that target. This project aims to increase the number of SMEs, particularly high growth technology companies, to invest more in R&D through participating in FP7. The project also aims to overcome existing barriers to collaborations between academic research and corporate groups and SMEs, and improve the effectiveness of knowledge transfer and financing of further development, through specialized assistance and training to make these collaborations materialize.The project will achieve its aim with a novel approach which brings together at partnering events SMEs with academic institutions and corporations and by offering assistance, training and website tools so a to make SMEs aware of the opportunities, match their research interests with larger research organisations and transfer valuable research results to the SMEs. The assisted R&D matchmaking forums use the validated Biotech and Finance Forum model. The 4 partnering events planned in 2 years will bring 135 research institutions together with at least 135 selected SMEs in more than 700 one-on one meetings.We expect that as a result at least 80 collaborative research proposals involving SMEs be submitted to the EC's Research Programmes and that at least 40 collaborative research projects would be in dis

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'How Infection History Shapes the Immune System: Pathogen-induced Changes in Regulatory T Cells' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Studying host-pathogen interactions by focusing on the interaction of a single pathogen with the host has defined our understanding of these events and the insights gained form the basis for the therapeutic and vaccination strategies we use today. However, people become infected with multiple pathogens throughout their lifetime, at times even simultaneously. Still, it is largely unknown how the immune response to one pathogen alters the body’s ability to respond to a second infectious agent or the susceptibility to autoimmunity or cancer. This project will address this question by focusing on infection-induced changes in regulatory T cells (Tregs) as they may lead to biased suppression and changes in the nature of subsequent immune responses.Our efforts will focus on two areas: In a first part, we will use single cell RNA-Seq to address how infections shape the Treg compartment by defining the specialized Treg subsets generated during polarized infectious settings and analyzing how they interact with effector T cells. Based on the depth of information we expect to obtain from this approach, we envisage finding thus far unappreciated interactions and functions of Tregs in the course of an immune response. The second part will investigate how an altered Treg compartment, either through genetic modifications or infection-induced, affects disease susceptibility. In this context, we will also address stability and persistence of pathogen-induced changes in the Treg compartment. Collectively the proposed experiments will allow us to start addressing how preceding infections affect disease susceptibility. Deciphering how infection history shapes the Treg compartment and how this affects susceptibility to future challenges will lay the groundwork for addressing this question mo

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Predictive  Neural Information for Proactive Actions: From Monkey Brain to Smart House Control'.

assistant: **Concept**

Planning and mental simulation of actions and outcomes are a major cognitive trait of humans.  We predict action consequences and perform goal-directed actions in proactive, forward-looking ways. By contrast, systems that lack predictive planning are reactive and dominated by reflex-like, cumbersome behaviors. Most currently existing brain-machine-interfaces (BMI) fall into this category. Plan4Act sets out to go beyond this by inferring actions from action-predicting neural activity of complex action sequences. Neurophysiology in non-human primates recently revealed that such encoding is far more widespread than previously thought. The goal of the Plan4Act project is to record and understand predictive neural activity and use it to proactively control devices in a smart house. The far-future vision behind this is to endow motor-impaired patients with the ability to plan a daily-life goal – like making coffee – and achieve it without having to invoke one by one every single individual action to reach this goal. To approach this complex problem, we record multi-unit action predicting activity in macaques (WP1), model this by adaptive neural networks (WP2), design therefrom an embedded (FPGA-based) controller (WP3), and interface it with a smart house (WP4) to control action sequences with a clear look-ahead property. The main outcome of this project is a system that integrates the above components at TRL4 for which we quantify improved reaction speed and robustness of this type of proactive BMI control. The understanding and use of predictive neural signals for machine control is novel and methods, algorithms, and hardware developed to translate predictive planning from neural activity to technology create the major general impact of this project.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Graphene-based Artificial Iris for Active light management in a smart contact lens' (GAIA), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Smart contact lenses have the potential to address multiple medical unmet needs, such as vision correction, diagnosis of eye disorders and monitoring of biomarkers. For instance, liquid crystal (LC) cells controlled by smart electronics and embedded inside contact lenses can autonomously control light intensity and visual acuity for patients suffering iris disorders. However, a couple of technological challenges remain unresolved before patient validation. The properties of LC cells are not optimal when using standard materials such as PEDOT:PSS and ITO. The former reduces the transmittance while the sheet resistance of the latter is greatly affected by thermoforming steps. In addition, LC ionic currents need to be reduced to favour power consumption. The GAIA project will address these limitations by introducing a graphene-based artificial iris. The unique combination of properties of graphene, i.e., mechanical robustness, high transmittance and lower ionic introduction, make it an ideal material for eye-related smart applications.We will combine the artificial iris management technology based on LC cells already developed by Azalea with the graphene microfabrication techniques developed by ICN2 to deliver medical optical systems with ultra-low power consumption, and unprecedented transparency and flexibility. The graphene artificial iris will autonomously change the size of the pupil to control the depth of field, visual acuity and improve the quality of life of millions of people. Our consortium brings together all the key expertise to achieve the project goals. Azalea is an SME with expertise in active light management, stretchable electronics and electronics integration in contact lenses, while ICN2 is a top academic research centre with unique knowledge in flexibl

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Methodology of electronic equipment housing for protection against electromagnetic interference' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Since the first of January 1996, every electronic equipment from small electronic apparatus to complete installation has to meet the 89/336 EC directive requirements on electromagnetic compatibility. In particular, shielding is one means of protection but often used at an expensive cost. If EMC solution providers master an optimisation of the whole protection solution of a box including materials, paintings in conjunction with apertures, gaskets and input/output connectors, they can propose best and cost effective solutions. The objective of this proposal is to make an accurate evaluation of-the EM protection given by a box, including materials, paintings, gaskets, apertures aspects by means of appropriate measurement campaigns and use of advanced numerical 3D electromagnetic solvers. From the result of this cooperative research, each partner - specialist in one sphere of competence (gasket provider or conductive painting expert) - will be able to determine the adequation of the elements of its existing products with the degree of protection needed and to elaborate new products with the adequate performance.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Promoting science: does it work? Evidence from program evaluation' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The proposed research aims at evaluating the impact of policies that promote scientific education. It will address the effect of monetary cost reduction on enrollment into scientific subjects and achievement. It will address the impact of intense training in science at earlier stage of the educational process on subsequent take-up and attainment in science subjects. It will work out differences across gender and socio-economic characteristics in the impact of the policies; it will provide a cross country analysis of different policies aimed at promoting scientific education. Research will be mostly empirical, and exploit information in large British and Italian data sets. To accomplish the project, I will spend two years in the Department of Economics at UCL under the supervision of Professor Meghir. This is a leading institution for Applied Micro-Econometrics and Economic of Education in Europe. The department and its associated research centers do not only provide the expertise, but also the facilities and infrastructure to conduct top academic research of this kind. The project will give an important stimulus to my academic career. I will be able to draw on the unique expertise at UCL on the various aspects important for her project, develop technical skills and knowledge on my field of study, build strategic links and a more policy oriented profile. The current project has strong resonance with the EU policy of promoting women participation in science and meeting the objectives defined in the Lisbon Agenda and in the higher education strategy. It may also have beneficial spill-overs towards the creation of scientific links between UCL and my home university, the University of Turin, to which I intend to return at the end of the project, thus contributing to the regi

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Conditions for Responsible Research of SRM – Analysis, Co-Creation, and Ethos (Co-CREATE)' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Experimental research on solar radiation modification (SRM) is controversial and feared to distract from climate change mitigation or leading to dangerous SRM use. It is not clear whether and under which conditions and governance arrangements experimental SRM research may be desirable for reducing uncertainties and lowering the probability of problematic outcomes including unilateral deployment elsewhere. Co-CREATE seeks to help structure this decision problem through co-creative scoping, analysis, and engagement for the development of principles and guidelines.  The project starts with a series of scoping notes that outline key dimensions of experimental SRM research including possible cases and their geographical, stake- and rightsholder, and regulatory implications, which ground the conceptual work. Co-CREATE then analyses and develops decision-support tools by asking what we can learn from governance analogues, and how various (risk) evaluation frameworks may help identify key characteristics of research proposals. Co-CREATE furthermore analyses possible legal and procedural conditions including appropriate participation. Co-CREATE itself will for the development of these governance elements enter an extensive stakeholder and rightsholder dialogue that validates preliminary analytical work, ensures stakeholders’ diverse dimensions of concern are included, and strengthens deliberative capacity. Co-CREATE proposes guidelines and principles to facilitate decision-making by the relevant authorities on broader categories of experimental research of SRM as well as case-by-case decisions. A draft will be discussed at a Co-CREATE hosted conference and later refined based on feedback received. Proposed principles and guidelines will be grounded in a understanding of scientif

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Do Legislatures Enhance Democracy in Africa?' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Do Legislatures Enhance Democracy in Africa?This project seeks to investigate the role of legislatures in African electoral authoritarian regimes. There are two opposing theoretical views: While several studies have found that holding elections, introducing a national assembly and a multiparty system prolongs the life of autocracies, other authors claim the exact opposite: in their view, the more successive multiparty elections take place, the more democratic a regime becomes. Answering these questions is difficult due to the opaqueness of authoritarian regimes. Moreover, most work has concentrated on only a few cases – African cases, in particular, have remained largely absent from the research agenda. This project attempts to fill these gaps by collecting data on authoritarian legislatures in seven African countries. We focus on three areas of investigation: 1) law-making; 2) interaction patterns and political dialogue between the ruling party and the opposition; and 3) representation and constituency responsiveness. The main question is whether legislatures in authoritarian countries actually have a potential to enhance democracy. We use a Mixed Methods-Design which combines qualitative and quantitative data. To answer Question 1, we use content analysis of parliamentary debates. For Question 2 and 3, we will conduct full population surveys in the national assemblies of our seven countries. We will collect biographical and opinion data, as well as data on the social interactions between government and opposition, which will be analyzed with the methods of Social Network Analysis. Furthermore, we employ process tracing to understand the causal mechanism between legislative behaviour and the level of democracy. With a strong team of partner institutions in seven Africa
