user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'European researchers' Night in Cyprus: the diGitAl and Green Age' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The ENGAGE proposal aims at organising a European Researchers' Night (ERN) in Nicosia, Cyprus on the 24th of September 2021. The theme of the event,  the green and digital age, focusses on the transition towards a green world led by the European Union (EU) through the European Green Deal, in a new decade where the digital transition is well under way and more prominent than ever before as addressed in the European Digital Strategy. Having coordinated the organisation of the ERN events in Cyprus since 2006, the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF), will seek to build on the experience accumulated over the years and established collaboration with local Research and Innovation (R&I) stakeholders from the academia, the public sector, industry as well as other actors in civil society to make the event a success. The proposal's main objective is to mobilise and actively engage researchers in a quest to increase awareness of research and innovation activities by bringing them closer to the wider public.  ENGAGE will additionally seek to raise the public's awareness regarding the latest R&I achievements in Cyprus and the EU, creating an understanding of the benefits and impact of researchers' work on citizens' daily life, whilst at the same time reducing stereotypes about researchers and encouraging young people to embark on research careers. The target audience for the event is the public at large, attracting people regardless of their age, gender or scientific background, with a special focus on families, pupils and students. Activities will bring together the public and researchers from all sectors and disciplines, and include side events such as a European Corner Roadshow in the main cities of Cyprus and a main event with hands-on experiments and demonstrations, games,

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'The potential use of sciomyzid flies as novel biocontrol agents of pest slugs in Europe and the USA, with particular reference to Ireland and California' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Approximately US$75 billion of global food is lost annually to pest organisms and of these, slugs are among the most important. Current slug control methods are either overtly toxic or only effective against certain species and hence there is a real need t o research alternative control strategies. One option is bio-control using Sciomyzidae (Diptera). The aim of this project is to test the efficacy of slug-killing sciomyzids in both Ireland and California as bio-control agents of these pests.The advanced training phase will take place at University of Califonia, Riverside (UCR) where the biology (e.g. prey preference and predation rates) of slug-killing sciomyzids from California and Europe (research with non-native species will take place in quarantine facilities) will be investigated. Based on these investigations a sciomyzid species will be selected for preliminary release trials. Nine experimental and three control plots will be set up in greenhouses. Each experimental plot will contain target pest slugs, a food plant (e.g. lettuce), and three release ratios (one per block) will be used. Control plots will only contain slugs and food plant.The amount of leaf damage and the number of dead slugs will de determined daily and agent efficacy established. A number of such trials will be carried out and recommendations on slug control will be provided. On return to the National University of Ireland, Galway, a similar project will be carried out using slugs and sciomyzids which are native to Ireland (no quarantine facilities at NUI,Galway). The experimental procedure will be as described above. Dissemination of results will be achieved through publications, at conferences and training students. This project will establish long term collaborative links between the ERA and

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Novel mechanisms of rapid perceptual learning' (RapidLearningBrain), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Four decades ago, studies have started pointing to sensory plasticity in the adult visual system, documenting surprising improvements in perception. Such perceptual learning is enabled by repeated practice, inducing use-dependent plasticity in early visual areas and their readouts. But is this the only route, or do other forms of more economic learning exist? My rationale is inspired by two distinct lines of evidence: reducing practice can counteract suppressive processes such as visual adaptation, and frameworks originating from rodent studies showing that reactivation of existing memories can enable their modification. This project aims to challenge the fundamental assumption in perceptual learning that only 'practice makes perfect', hypothesizing that brief reactivations of visual memories induce efficient rapid perceptual learning, mediated by increased interactions between early-visual and high-level regions.  The objectives of RapidLearningBrain are: (1) To reveal the neurobehavioural mechanisms by which brief exposure to learned information modulates brain plasticity and supports rapid learning, using psychophysics and fMRI-neuronavigated brain stimulation (TMS), with recent behavioural proof of principle provided by my lab (Nature Neuroscience, 2017). (2) To understand the links to consolidation and sleep dynamics. (3) To identify how these novel mechanisms interact across learning disciplines, using closed-loop TMS-EEG modulating interactions between early-visual and high-level regions. (4) To test the hypothesis that similar inherent mechanisms may also result in maladaptive consequences in other domains, when brief reactivations occur spontaneously as intrusive enhanced memories following negative events.  Unravelling the mechanisms of this new form of rapid

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Understanding the Ongoing Process of Welfare State Reform' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of this proposed research project is to improve our understanding of the ongoing process of reform of existing welfare state institutions. The basic question I will explore is why some countries have reformed their social policies and institutional structures - for instance by fully funding their pension systems - while others have either tried and failed to carry out similar reforms, or chosen not to attempt any reforms at all. As a first step, I plan to characterize and categorize some of the most important reforms that have taken place during the past three of four decades. As a second step, I hope to be able to use this categorization to develop formal models that shed light on the causal mechanisms underlying the reforms. A key point here is that rather than focusing simply on the development of welfare states, or the appropriateness of different possible reforms, the basic questions here will regard why and when we see the structures and policies of today being reformed. I plan focus most of the actual work on reforms of European institutions, but I will build on my dissertation research on the United States, and use the US as a “baseline” or “reference” case. With this approach I hope to deepen the comparisons between the US and European nations that I initiate in the first part of my dissertation. I will also build on the work on local American politics that forms the basis of my third dissertation chapter. Underlying the questions aimed at here is a broader interest in the way governments (national and local) adapt to changes in their environment. Some governments appear to be better than others at responding and adapting to changes in fundamental economic conditions. However, why this is the case remains, in my view, poorly understood.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Hydrogen production by membrane free chemical – electrochemical systems' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Until recently it was believed to be impossible to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis systems, without an electrochemical oxygen production process and without a membrane. However, in the past few years, our team was able to develop a new technological configuration which divides the water splitting process into two phases : (1) an efficient electrochemical hydrogen production followed by a (2) spontaneous chemical oxygen production phase. By eliminating the inefficient electrochemical water oxidation reaction (OER) we achieve a significant increase in hydrogen production efficiency. Furthermore, reducing the danger of mixing hydrogen and oxygen eliminates the need for a membrane. A membrane-free system enables high pressure hydrogen production without the risk of gas mixture or membrane failure. Moreover, as the membrane failure is the main cause for malfunctions and offline times of alkaline and PEM electrolyzer, our technology improves system reliability and energy efficiency.The purpose of this PoC is to further develop our basic lab prototype to demonstrate two  potential commercial applications:(1)Power to Gas (P2G) storage of renewable energy (demonstrating the ability to produce hydrogen with high efficiency and under high peaks) and (2) On-site hydrogen production for hydrogen refuelling stations (demonstrating purity and durability under high-pressure). Furthermore, HYMEFCECS, will include an in-depth user requirements analysis (combining business, economic and technical inputs); devising a proper business model and business plan per two target markets, financial forecasting, Intellectual Property and an Investor Toolkit.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Signal reliability and decision making in social birds' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Concept**

Vocalisations play a key communicatory role in many social species and individuals often rely on information provided by others. To avoid unnecessary costs, receivers would benefit by responding differently to signallers of different reliability, especially if the information conveyed is critical for survival. However, we know surprisingly little about how receivers assess signaller reliability and to what aspect they adjust their responses. The goal of this project is to address largely unexplored aspects of signaller reliability and the resultant decisions made by other group members, using a wild, but habituated, population of pied babblers (Turdoides bicolor), a social bird species. First, I will compare two measures of signaller reliability in terms of alarm calling (calls given to warn others of danger), to investigate whether signallers differ in their reliability in more than one way in the same context, and whether receivers respond differently depending on the element of reliability that is assessed. Second, I will examine whether foragers alter their behaviour depending on the reliability of a sentinel (an individual scanning for predators from a raised position); specifically, whether their decisions are influenced by a sentinel’s position (sentinels perched higher might be more reliable in detecting predators), and a pre-formed concept of the sentinel’s reliability in terms of alarm calling. The proposed research will greatly enhance our understanding of fundamental aspects of animal signalling and behavioural plasticity in social groups. By combining mathematical modelling with empirical data collection and experimentation, the work will be truly integrative and multidisciplinary and will result in several publications in high-ranking journals, enhancing m

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Tuneable high power microwave source for material processing' (MICROMAT), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The role of microwaves within material technologies has so far been a minor one. This is because there is only one source available, the magnetron, and this can only provide distributed heating, with simple amplitude modulation control. Industrial applications in material processing require focussed microwave power, similar to a laser beam, to achieve high power density and also require frequency modulation for process control. As a consequence magnetrons have only found commercial applications in a very few areas such as food processing. The newly developed microwave Industrial Free Electron Laser (MIFEL) will be used for this MICROMAT project and this device offers the potential to overcome the limitations of the magnetron.The MIFEL has allowed the frequency range to be extended up from the magnetron frequency of 2.45 GHz to at least 50GHz with kWs output power. This substantial reduction in wavelength has now opened up a range of new industrial applications based upon microwave plasma generation and focussed heating. MIFELs are compact devices suitable for use in a factory location and have a cost comparable to that of a magnetron system.The MICROMAT project will introduce for the first time table top MIFEL technology into manufacturing processes where the new technology would have most impact, most benefits and to solve problems which exist with the current technology.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'INducing TRionic gaIn in two-dimensional semicoNductors by local StraIn and Charge manipulation' (INTRINSIC) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

The ability to manipulate excitonic complexes in 2D-materials is of fundamental importance for the development of excitonic based optoelectronic devices operating in low-carrier density, low-power regimes. Correlating locally variable quantities with emission properties of excitonic complexes on sub-diffraction length scale could enable on-demand control of the mutual conversion between excitons and trions. In particular, control over trion density upon photoexcitation in a functionalized 2D-material disclose the possibility to achieve trionic optical gain, that is, a condition of optical gain sustained by the difference between trion and pre-doped electron density. As a peculiarity, trionic optical gain does not require global population inversion common to optical gain mechanisms of conventional semiconductors. Therefore, trion density control could enable optical amplification and lasing at unprecedented low levels of excitation. To this end, we aim to understand the photoexcitation dependent trion formation process, their abundance and stability upon variation of local quantities such as carrier doping, defects density and strain fields in 2D-materials. To pursue this goal we will implement a structural /spectroscopic correlated approach based on hyperspectral nano-imaging and far-field cryo-microscopy of 2D monolayers transferred on a plasmonic nanopillars array with controlled levels of charge doping and strain. Demonstration of trionic optical gain in such conditions will provide the necessary requirement for achieving trionic lasing. Laser feedback will be then realized by engineering the surface lattice resonance of a plasmonic nanopillar cavity to match the trionic peak gain wavelength.

user: Describe how 'A nano-electromechanical quantum simulator' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Electron-phonon interactions lead to a plethora of phenomena in strongly correlated solid-state systems such as superconductivity and charge-density waves. However, the complex dynamics manifesting these phases can be beyond the reach of computational modelling, especially when taking into account electron-electron interaction. Therefore, one of the outstanding challenges in the field of correlated-electron physics is a widely tuneable model system that can mutually couple several electronic and phononic degrees of freedom. To date, no such system has been experimentally realized. While previous efforts have mostly focused on cold-atom configurations, nano-electromechanical systems are naturally suited to address this challenge. One of the most challenging requirements to engineering such a system is the achievement of ultrastrong electromechanical coupling, which has been recently demonstrated for the first time in a capacitively coupled carbon nanotube. Leveraging this capability, we propose to engineer a model system in which electronic degrees of freedom are defined within four quantum dots and coupled to vibrational modes of a carbon nanotube. If successful, the project will enable the first experimental platform for quantum simulation of electron-phonon coupling. The proposal combines techniques from different fields to create a hybrid quantum system that significantly extends the state-of-the-art in nano-electromechanics. The Quantum NanoElectronics & NanoMechanics group at ICFO is one of the two only research groups to experimentally demonstrate ultrastrong electromechanical coupling to date and is the world leader in the fabrication of ultraclean carbon nanotubes. These capabilities, combined with my strong background in both experimental and theoretical nanome
