user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Innovative management of groundwater resources- training programme for eu accession countries' (IMAGE-TRAIN).

assistant: **Concept**

Groundwater protection and drinking water conservation are key issues for EU Member States and an enormous challenge for EU Accession (EA) Countries due to many environmental and financial problems. IMAGE-TRAIN is a training programme for 10 EA Countries, providing innovative knowledge on cost-efficient groundwater management (GWM) and will train 40 participants, mainly GWM decision makers, over 3 years. IMAGE-TRAIN comprises scientific and technological input from currentFP5 research projects in the field of GWM, local expertise and requirements of EA Countries, an introduction to general funding opportunities, and the overcoming of language barriers. The key objectives are to improve the GW situation in EA Countries and in particular to render projects feasible by introducing cost-effective and easy-to-implement technologies. IMAGE-TRAIN will strengthen European excellency in GWM and contribute to the EU's enlargement policy.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Functional metabolites: Investigation of terpenoid biosynthesis in grapes'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The “Grapenoids” project consists of a 24 month outgoing phase to the Wine Innovation Cluster of the University of Adelaide, in collaboration with the Australia Wine Research Institute (AWRI), and a 12 month return phase to the University of Copenhagen. The work undertaken in “Grapenoids” will combine state of the art analytical chemistry and molecular biology techniques in the world's leading grape and wine research institute to identify terpenoids that act as flavour and aroma compounds. Despite their importance as flavour and aroma compounds, very little is currently known about terpenoids in grapes. In groundbreaking research carried out at the AWRI, the compound responsible for the peppery aroma of a number of plants, including some varieties of grapes, was recently identified as the sesquiterpenoid, rotundone. This discovery was made through chemical analysis, and thus the molecular basis for rotundone biosynthesis is not yet known. This example demonstrates the potential for a comprehensive investigation and characterisation of terpene biosynthesis genes from grapes to yield new and interesting functional metabolites.  The ""Grapenoids"" project will be undertaken during a period when the interest in functional terpenoids is greatly expanding in the EU. A number of European research institutes and small biotechnology companies are currently investigating the potential for producing scientifically and commercially interesting terpenoids in metabolically engineered systems. A key outcome of ""Grapenoids"" will be the introduction of a number of novel terpenoid biosynthesis enzymes to the European research community in the return phase, with heterologous expression  to be carried out in a metabolically engineered moss under development at the University of Copenhage

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Development of a fully customised, repairable and recyclable polypropylene umbrella that is easy to assemble'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Each year an estimated one billion umbrellas are discarded in landfills globally. Umbrellas typically consist of 120 parts and are made up of various materials such as metals and plastic amongst others. These materials take up to a century to degrade naturally. This volume of waste is an environmental concern as is the squandering of finite resources such as metals. The volume of umbrellas discarded is a result of inefficiencies of umbrellas available in the market. The umbrella stretchers that hold the canopy in place when the umbrella is opened consist of multiple rigid metal pieces joined together with pins and screws. These joints weaken the umbrella structure and as a result the stretchers break easily especially when subjected to strong wind. Furthermore, umbrella repair services are scarce and as a result, whole umbrellas are disposed of even when a single component is damaged. Also, umbrellas are difficult to recycle because they consist of multiple parts of different materials. PLV Srl, established in 2016 to tackle the inefficiencies of umbrellas in the market, has developed an innovative, all-plastic, easy to assemble umbrella whose key innovation is the integrated polypropylene stretcher. Our stretchers consist of one flexible piece designed to alter shape to withstand adverse weather conditions. The multiple joints are eliminated strengthening the structural integrity of our umbrellas. Our umbrellas, consisting solely of plastic are 100% recyclable. In addition, our umbrellas are comprised of just 20 components which are easy to assemble. As a result, when a component is damaged, it can be easily replaced. 900 million umbrellas are sold each year and bringing in revenues of €3 billion each year. PLV Srl aims to sell 3 million umbrellas by 2024 which is 0,6%

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Metabolic control by the TGF-² superfamily receptor ALK7: A novel regulator of insulin secretion, fat accumulation and energy balance' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of this proposal is to understand a novel regulatory signaling network controlling insulin secretion, fat accumulation and energy balance centered around selected components of the TGF-² signaling system, including Activins A and B, GDF-3 and their receptors ALK7 and ALK4. Recent results from my laboratory indicate that these molecules are part of paracrine signaling networks that control important functions in pancreatic islets and adipose tissue through feedback inhibition and feed-forward regulation. These discoveries have open up a new research area with important implications for the understanding of metabolic networks and the treatment of human metabolic syndromes, such as diabetes and obesity.To drive progress in this new research area beyond the state-of-the-art it is proposed to: i) Elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which Activins regulate Ca2+ influx and insulin secretion in pancreatic ²-cells; ii) Elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of GDF-3 on adipocyte metabolism, turnover and fat accumulation; iii) Investigate the interplay between insulin levels and fat deposition in the development of insulin resistance using mutant mice lacking Activin B and GDF-3; iv) Investigate tissue-specific contributions of ALK7 and ALK4 signaling to metabolic control by generating and characterizing conditional mutant mice; v) Investigate the effects of specific and reversible inactivation of ALK7 and ALK4 on metabolic regulation using a novel chemical-genetic approach based on analog-sensitive alleles.This is research of a high-gain/high-risk nature. It is posed to open unique opportunities for further exploration of complex metabolic networks. The development of drugs capable of enhancing insulin secretion, limiting fat accumulation and amelior

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Micro/Nano Exploration, Manipulation and Assembly: Telehaptics and Virtual Reality System Development and Investigation of Biomechanics and Neuroscience of Touch' (MICRONANOTELEHAPTICS).

assistant: **Concept**

The primary objective of the proposed project is to develop robot mediated human interface technologies to manually explore, manipulate and assemble progressively smaller objects ranging from micro- to nano-meter scales and a secondary objective is to demonstrate the power of the interface system in the investigation of the fundamental mechanics and neural mechanisms of touch. The proposed system will consist of a master-slave robotic teleoperation (TO) subsystem and a virtual reality (VR) subsystem. The master robot will enable the user to touch, feel and manipulate (1) real micro/nano structures through the slave robot or (2) computer models of micro/nano structures in the virtual reality environment. Specific aims of this effort are as follows: (1) design and develop a custom master system to enable the user to have real-time visual, auditory, and bimanual haptic interactions; (2) design and develop a slave system consisting of microscopes and manipulators progressively augmented to enable micro to nano-precision movements and forces; (3) develop modular software architecture with device abstraction to support multiple master and slave devices; (4) integrate virtual reality software to enable the user to have real-time visual, auditory, and bimanual interactions with virtual models at micro- to nano-meter scales based on empirical data or to test hypotheses; (5) use the system to perform biomechanics and neurophysiology experiments at progressively micro- to nano-precision movements and forces; (6) develop mathematical models of mechanotransduction for quantitative understanding of touch mechanisms at multiple scales.

user: Explain how 'acoustic SCene ANalysis for Detecting Living Entities' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Analysing fine motor activity in articulatory structures of humans or animals in combination with the sounds they emit yields information about their intentions and likely future actions. In this project we propose to develop a cognitive acoustic scene analysis system that is able to synthesize composite representations of animate entities and their behaviour by integrating information from active and passive sound signatures; i.e. from actively self-generated (sonar) sounds and from passively received sounds emitted by those entities. The system is an acoustic analogy to a camera-based visual scene analysis system, particularly suited to detecting the presence and characterising the behaviour of living entities in the environment. This highly innovative proposal builds upon fundamental research on perceptual organisation in natural systems, recent advances in models of auditory processing, and technological developments in ultra-low power, distributed neuromorphic systems and state-of-the-art micro-sonar technology. The biologically inspired architecture and processing mechanisms of the proposed system support autonomous real-time context-dependent operation, allowing it to parse complex mixtures of sounds into meaningful units and categorise them. We propose novel methodologies for evaluating the emergence of representations in autonomous systems, and for communicating the ongoing internal state of the system to human observers. Work on the project will significantly advance scientific understanding of auditory perceptual organisation, technological developments in neuromorphic systems, and the potential impact of artificial cognitive systems. Successful achievement of our objectives will result in the development of a ground breaking proof-of-concept cognitive acoust

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Renewables burden sharing assessment tool ('REBUS')' (REBUS) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The main objectives of this project are to:* Support the EU and its MS to achieve their renewable energy target of 12% by the year 2010, as stated in the European Commissions White paper. * Developing a framework for determining the most equitable distribution of costs (burden sharing) of reaching the 12% target and providing key policy makers, industrial stakeholders and consumers with the guidance and guidelines by which to make decisions that reflect this equity. This will be done by means of the development of an assessment tool to analyse the possible consequences of several burden-sharing options.The actual outcome of the project comprises:-Development of the REBUS model;-Analyses of the effects of burden sharing and certificate trade on the renewable electricity market in Europe;-Development of a methodology on the definition of costs and potentials of RES-E technologies in the internal EU electricity market. The methodology is used to support comparability of costs across EU Member States and a sound estimation of realisable RES-E potentials. Besides, it can be used for follow-up research with the REBUS and/or SAFIRE model;-Specification of cost potential curves for RES-E production in the year 2010 for all EU Member States;-Increased insight of requirements and expectations on designing and implementing burden sharing schemes to achieve RES-E targets.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'TRACKING ENERGY INNOVATION IMPACTS FRAMEWORK'.

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of the project is to provide enhanced insights into the impact that innovation, in particular through Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D), is having on progress in key clean energy technologies and in the transformation of energy systems around the world.Assessments of the impact of innovation support programmes, such as Horizon 2020, are of significant interest to the European Commission and governments investing in clean energy innovation. The TEIIF project will be delivered by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The Agency will draw on its established capabilities (its global membership, existing databases and analytical experience) to expand relevant data sets and to develop a methodology to allow the more robust, quantitative assessment of clean energy innovation progress. Such an assessment will lead to a better understanding of the progress being made through clean energy innovation. The project results will be disseminated to policy makers to: provide them with better insights into the impact of their innovation funding and support programmes; assist in identifying both strengths and gaps, and; inform future investment plans.The project will address specific challenges associated with tracking innovation and their impacts by (1) broadening and deepening IRENA’s existing cost and performance data sets for key clean energy technologies; (2) exploring the use of datasets around patents, standards and publications related to clean energy innovation and (3) analysing clean energy innovation progress and trends based on innovation output indicators. The project will link to and build upon existing efforts of the European Commission, including work by the Joint Research Centre and other actors.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Taking in-situ controlled nanomaterials manufacturing to market' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Applications of nanomaterials are based on concepts relying on the structural control of materials at the nanometre scale because at the nanometre scale properties denied to larger, bulk objects can be unlocked. However, technologies based on nanomaterials will only be successful if we are able to systematically control production processes and nanomaterials’ morphologies.  Hence, in the last 20 years much effort was dedicated towards understanding nanomaterials’ formation and scaling-up production techniques from a laboratory to industrial scale. Yet, there are still many technical barriers preventing further progress in this area of research. These include the in-situ control of production processes employed for the generation of dedicated nanomaterials possessing tailored properties. We have followed a multidisciplinary approach of existing knowledge in nano-scale processing combined with state-of-the-art production techniques, and in-situ characterisation techniques, to create more efficient nanomaterials manufacturing techniques suitable for up-scaling. For this we have developed a prototype in-situ online control system which we have filed for a patent and aim to bring to market. With the ERC PoC we plan to carry out detailed analysis and develop a refined system suitable for an even wider range of industrial partners. Bringing such device together with an integrated approach will enable new applications of dedicated nanomaterials to be developed in the fields of energy saving and nano-composite materials in aerospace or medical applications.""

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Catch, Effort and Discard Estimates in Real-time' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Uncertainties in human activities contribute significantly to the overall uncertainty in the assessment of stocks and in the estimated impact of management advice. However the current widespread deployment of modern technologies such as the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and electronic logbooks to record and communicate fishing activities have the potential not only to improve the accuracy of such data but also increase its spatial precision and to reduce the time it takes to arrive at the desktops of fisheries stakeholders, shipowners, producer organizations, authorities, scientists - thus opening up a new set of possibilities for a more responsive fisheries management. It is the primary objective of this project to harness these technologies to provide more accurate and more timely information on catches, effort, landings, discards and quota and TAC uptake and to assess the benefits of this information for fisheries management. The project will proceed in three phases. In the first analysis phase all available data from the fishery from traditional sources such as observers and landing notes as well as from new sources such as VMS will be collected and analysed in order to determine relationships between the different measurements VMS and declared effort or landings and log-book entries for instance and to convert these measurements into the information required by the stakeholders. The second testing phase will involve carrying a series of pilot studies under real conditions to show the feasibility of obtaining real-time information on fisheries, to identify bottlenecks and to measure the performance of the technology used in terms of accuracy of information, timeliness and cost. The third implementation phase involves determining how the system could be moved from p
