user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Use of Foresight to Align Research with Longer Term Policy Needs in Europe' (FARHORIZON) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of this project is to pilot the use of foresight to align strategic and applied research with longer-term policy needs in Europe. It addresses a perceived gap in alignment under present arrangements and also argues that to develop, the European system needs a more content-oriented approach. It seeks to advance knowledge on: 1) Differences across policy domains in the European Research and Innovation Ecosystem (also further articulating this concept) in terms of the role and the integration of research agendas in long-term policies and vice-versa; and 2) Appropriate foresight designs needed to get engagement and secure follow-up across policy domains/areas. The project seeks to produce immediately useful results by selecting areas and participants with a view to stimulating action. Four areas with different sectoral characteristics will be selected with the advice of an independent panel to ensure that the pilot covers a range of circumstances. Success scenario workshops will be used to engage policymakers and those responsible for research. The methodology involves consideration of key drivers and wildcards to produce a vision of success, This is compared with the ability of the research and innovation ecosystem in the area to deliver and a roadmap for change is produced. A policy conference will be used to consider the outcomes and to disseminate the approach to other policy domains.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'machine learning for Particle Physics'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project proposes to use modern Machine Learning (ML),  particularly Deep Learning (DL), as a breakthrough solution to address the scientific, technological, and financial challenges that High Energy Physics (HEP) will face in the decade ahead. The quest for new physics is increasing the complexity of the experiments and, consequently, the human and financial costs to operate these detectors, with experiments facing at best flat budgets. ML offers a way out of this impasse. With the development of DL, ML has successfully addressed tasks such as image recognition and text understanding, which eventually opened the way to automatizing complex tasks. These progresses have the potential to revolutionize HEP experimental techniques. We propose to apply cutting-edge ML technologies to HEP problems, paving the way to self-operating detectors, capable of visually inspecting events and identifying the physics process generating them, while monitoring the goodness of the data, the correct functioning of the detector components and, if any, the occurrence of anomalous events caused by unspecified new physics processes. We structure the work in a set of working packages, representing intermediate steps towards this final goal. We propose to apply ML to data taking, event identification, data-taking monitoring, and event reconstruction as intermediate steps toward using these techniques for unsupervised physics searches. The project resources will by used to create a team of computer scientists, who will carry on a systematic R&D program to apply  cutting-edge ML technology to HEP: reinforced learning, generative models, event indexing, data mining, anomaly and outliers detection, etc. Being hosted at CERN, the project will benefit from existing computing infrastructures, large

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Taxonomy and azole resistance in Aspergillus section Flavi' (TARAF).

assistant: **Concept**

The project on taxonomy and azole resistance in Aspergillus section Flavi aims to investigate the classification and drug resistance patterns of fungal species within this specific section. Aspergillus section Flavi comprises various species known to produce carcinogenic aflatoxins, posing significant risks to human and animal health.The project involves taxonomic studies to accurately identify and classify different species within Aspergillus section Flavi. This classification is essential for understanding the diversity and distribution of these fungi, as well as their specific traits and potential virulence factors. Another crucial aspect of the project is the investigation of azole resistance in Aspergillus section Flavi. Azoles are commonly used antifungal drugs for treating Aspergillus infections. However, reports of azole resistance in certain Aspergillus species have raised concerns. Understanding the mechanisms behind azole resistance is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies and identifying potential targets for drug development.The project involves molecular analysis techniques to detect and characterize genetic mutations or other mechanisms associated with azole resistance in Aspergillus section Flavi. Additionally, it may involve assessing the clinical impact of azole resistance on patient outcomes and exploring potential risk factors for the development and spread of resistant strains.By combining taxonomic studies with investigations into azole resistance, the project aims to enhance our understanding of the diversity, distribution, and drug resistance profiles of Aspergillus species within section Flavi. This knowledge can ultimately contribute to improved diagnostic methods, treatment approaches, and public health strategies to mitigate t

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project '3D-Integrated single photon detector' (3D-COUNT).

assistant: **Concept**

Photonics, in recognition of its strategic significance and pervasiveness throughout many industrial sectors, has been identified as one of the Key Enabling Technologies for Europe. Photonics in combination with quantum information science has great potential to facilitate, transform and innovate future technologies for the better. The Proof of Concept (PoC) project intends to contribute to this by developing and testing a communication platform prototype, comprised of single photon detectors, which are efficiently coupled to single mode fibers using an innovative laser written device. This enables the integration of single photon detectors on innovative glass waveguides. These glass integrated photonic circuits offer excellent specifics for on-chip quantum optics implementations in terms of scattering losses, offering flexibility of the waveguide geometry and ensuring high coupling efficiency with optical fibers.The device developed and tested in the PoC, directly addresses a market need for an integrated and efficient on-chip communication systems. Current available systems have limitations involving high costs, complex production, and inefficient coupling of detectors to optical fibers. The proposed platform will offer 1.) a simplified production process, 2.) high optical fiber coupling efficiency 3.) improved performance levels, 4.) high cost efficiency, and 5.) compactness. Such systems can be applied in a wide range of communication and non-communication applications, such as free-space optical communication, quantum communication, quantum cryptography, DNA sequencing, single molecule detection and material analysis. Moreover, the future commercialisation of quantum computing is expected to create a vast demand for these communication systems. In addition to the t

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Mapping the face in the somatosensory brainstem: genetic and activity-dependent mechanisms' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Concept**

Somatosensory information from the physical world is accurately relayed from body surface receptors to brain cortex through topographic connectivity maps enabling to spatially locate and distinguish stimuli such as touch, temperature, proprioception (body position), and nociception (pain). This organization provides a somatosensory body-map representation in the brain exemplified by the concept of sensory homunculus. In mammals, the cortical representation of face receptors has a prominent role in fine tactile discrimination, taking-up more cortical space than other body parts. This is more striking in the cortical representation of the rodent whisker pad through the trigeminal circuit. Inputs from single whiskers cluster into discrete anatomical and functional cortical units, the barrels, which faithfully reproduce the whisker spatial arrangement on the rodent face. Whisker-related neuronal aggregates are also observed in brainstem and thalamic subcortical stations relaying the input to the cortex, maintaining a somatotopic point-to-point representation throughout the entire pathway. However, the molecular mechanisms of whisker-to-barrel topographic map formation, especially at subcortical level, remain poorly understood. This proposal focuses on the development of whisker-related circuitry and ascending pathways in the brainstem trigeminal sensitive column. I will investigate intrinsic (genetic) and extrinsic (sensory activity-dependent)  mechanisms establishing whisker maps in the Principal (PrV) and Spinal (SpV) nuclei, the brainstem relay stations where whisker-related neuronal modules, or barrelettes, are firstly formed. Using ad hoc genetic tools, virus-based transynaptic circuit tracing techniques, and functional analysis of relevant homeobox transcription facto

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Phosphorus dynamics in low-oxygen marine systems: quantifying the nutrient-climate connection in Earth’s past, present and future', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Phosphorus (P) is a key and often limiting nutrient for phytoplankton in the ocean. A strong positive feedback exists between marine P availability, primary production and ocean anoxia: increased production leads to ocean anoxia, which, in turn, decreases the burial efficiency of P in sediments and therefore increases the availability of P and production in the ocean. This feedback likely plays an important role in the present-day expansion of low-oxygen waters (“dead zones”) in coastal systems worldwide. Moreover, it contributed to the development of global scale anoxia in ancient oceans. Critically, however, the responsible mechanisms for the changes in P burial in anoxic sediments are poorly understood because of the lack of chemical tools to directly characterize sediment P. I propose to develop new methods to quantify and reconstruct P dynamics in low-oxygen marine systems and the link with carbon cycling in Earth’s present and past. These methods are based on the novel application of state-of-the-art geochemical analysis techniques to determine the burial forms of mineral-P within their spatial context in modern sediments. The new analysis techniques include nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (nanoSIMS), synchotron-based scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). I will use the knowledge obtained for modern sediments to interpret sediment records of P for periods of rapid and extreme climate change in Earth’s history. Using various biogeochemical models developed in my research group, I will elucidate and quantify the role of variations in the marine P cycle in the development of low-oxygen conditions and climate change. This information is crucial for our ability to predict th

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Near Earth Object Modelling and Payloads for Protection', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Planetary defence, science or resource missions to asteroids require new advances in numerical modelling, payload development, data processing technology, and operational capabilities. The NEO-MAPP consortium includes scientific and industrial experts with a solid expertise in asteroid science and space missions and is, therefore, ideally placed to further advance NEO scientific research and technologies. In a multi-disciplinary and synergetic approach, NEO-MAPP incorporates two activities: numerical modelling, and technology and data processing developments.   NEO-MAPP will bring modelling capabilities well beyond the state-of-the-art, producing major advancements in our understanding of the response of NEOs to a kinetic impact or an Earth encounter, and of their physical and dynamical properties. NEO-MAPP will also increase the maturity of five innovative payloads specifically optimized for NEO space missions and devoted to the surface, sub-surface and internal properties of a NEO; parameters that are currently poorly constrained yet of high importance to planetary defence.  In parallel, the NEO-MAPP team will define innovative measurement and data processing strategies, combining multiple payloads, in order to maximize the exploitation of scientific and technical data.  These objectives will be addressed by adopting a framework of two “Reference Missions”. The team will ensure that the mission scenarios are both highly relevant to the current international and European programmatic context while remaining generic enough to be transposable to any alternative scenarios.    NEO-MAPP will thus provide significant advances in our understanding of NEOs while ensuring the future leadership of European scientists and engineers in both planetary defence and small-body explora

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Design of photocontrollable polyelectrolyte-based nanoengineered container systems'.

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of the project is to provide a joint comprehensive research on the development of light-sensitive active coatings and light-addressable microdispensors based on the incorporated mesoporous photocatalytic particles loaded with active agent (lubricant, biocide, corrosion inhibitor). The coating will include container either with the inorganic scaffold made of photoactive material (TiO2) coated with polyelectrolyte shell or inert scaffold (SiO2) coated with polyelectrolyte/nanoparticles shell where the introduced nanoparticles are sensitive to the external light. The encapsulation employing Layer-by-Layer (LbL) electrostatic adsorption of polyelectrolyte molecules or charged nanoparticles represents novel and very efficient approach to creation of micro-and non-sized container structures with controlled composition and permeability of the shell for protection, delivery and storage. Of principle importance is a fact that the permeability of the polyelectrolyte containers’ walls can be effectively modulated by introduced nanoparticles making it sensitive to the heat, UV or visible light as well as alternating magnetic field.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Training in theoretical Physics'.

assistant: **Objectives**

A programme for students in theoretical physics will be established, covering areas in which the CERN Theoretical Physics Division has expertise, including cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, string theory, quantum gravity, and field theory, as well as particle physics and relativistic heavy-ion physics.This programme will be directed at students on detachment from home universities, from less-favoured European countries in particular, providing them with unique new training opportunities in research topics that might be unavailable in their home universities.The admission of selected students will be subject to a formal agreement with a supervisor at the home university where the students remain affiliated, who agrees on a well-defined research topic wit h an expert local supervisor at CERN who commits to support the student's work during a stay of about one year.The student will return to his/her home university for the writing up, presentation and defence of his/her Ph.D. thesis. CERN will provide the students with office space and infrastructure support including library and network access, regular student seminars, postgraduate lecture courses, and free access to CERN's seminars, colloquia and lectures.The programme proposed is extremely interdisciplinary, bringing together aspects of cosmology and particle physics, using tools from mathematical physics, field theory and string theory.The CERN Theoretical Physics Division offers a unique scientific melting-pot where theoretical physicists from a large n umber of institutions in many countries work together, each bringing their own specific approach to common research problems.While at CERN, the students will also become familiar with aspects of experimental physics such as the upcoming LHC programme, and the stude

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Reducing the ecological footprint of ports with ECOncrete®’s bio-enhancing concrete technologies' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The last few decades have seen rapid proliferation of hard artificial structures (e.g., offshore energy, port infrastructure, aquaculture, coastal defences) in the marine environment (ocean sprawl). 70% of coastal and marine infrastructure (CMI) is concrete, yet concrete is known as a poor substrate for marine flora and fauna to thrive. Cement, the key ingredient of concrete, is the source of 8% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. Due to a lack of available concrete alternatives, CMI is designed and built with little or no ecological consideration, leading to high ecological footprint of structures like ports and coastal defence schemes often resulting in environmental penalties (€900K per acre or mitigation costs through via artificial reefs) and a prolonged permitting process (<1 year). ECOncrete® has created and validated a win-win solution for both thriving ecosystems and high performing concrete structures. The science-based innovative technology is designed to encourage the development of rich and diverse marine life and natural processes like calcification and photosynthesis (that uptake CO2 ) as an integral part of CMI such as seawalls, breakwaters, and urban waterfronts, providing highly durable, bioenhancing concrete solutions and Climate Change resilience. The LIVING PORTS project is composed of an interdisciplinary consortium of 4 partners, each chosen to actively participate in the de-risking and industrialization of ECOncrete’s® revolutionary technology. The project shall act as a first and crucial step toward a fundamental change in the way the CMI industry currently operates, shifting from obsolete “gray” construction materials and designs, to innovative science-based technologies that foster ecological, estructural, and socio-economic value.
