user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Carbon-Oxynitride Coupled Artificial Photosynthesis System For Solar Water Splitting Beyond 600 nm'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The main goal of this project, through which the Experienced Researcher will develop new scientific, entrepreneurial and transferable skills by advanced training, is to develop novel carbon-oxynitride coupled artificial photosynthesis system for solar water splitting beyond 600 nm. As a member of the 600 nm-class photocatalysts family, BaTaO2N has recently demonstrated the solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 0.7% at 1.0 VRHE. To further enhance the conversion efficiency and photostability of BaTaO2N for future application, the present project challenges the modern scientific-engineering concepts for coupling BaTaO2N with universal, inexpensive, and unique carbon allotropes. Can all carbon allotropes be integrated to form efficient, inexpensive, photostable, and scalable artificial photosynthesis system for solar water splitting beyond 600 nm? To give an answer, the this project has four scientific objectives: (i) to engineer the band structure of BaTaO2N by p-type doping for overall water splitting; (ii) to study the dimensional effect of carbon allotrope (0D-fullerene, 1D-nanotubes, 2D-graphene, and 3D-nanohorns) on solar water splitting of BaTaO2N; (iii) to evaluate solar water splitting efficiency, photo-stability, and scalability of the carbon-BaTaO2N composite; and (iv) to design a monolithically integrated photocatalyst module (device) based on the most suitable carbon allotrope and doped BaTaO2N. Having strong fundamental, applied, and multidisciplinary nature, this project has a potential capacity to raise the competitiveness and excellence of the European Photocatalysis Science and Technology. As today Europe continues to lead the world on climate action with its roadmap to moving to a competitive low-carbon economy by 2050, this project focusing on effi

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Nanoscale Design using Virtual Reality'.

assistant: **Objectives**

As molecular scientists have made progress in their ability to engineer and design the structure of mo-lecular systems at the nano-scale, a new fundamental challenge has emerged: namely, our ability to un-derstand and engineer molecular dynamics (MD) and flexibility. This limits our ability to carry out effi-cient molecular engineering in a range of important areas, including enzymatic catalysis, ligand-protein kinetics, and molecular signalling. In principle, MD simulations offer an excellent tool for furnishing microscopic insight into the fundamental dynamical and kinetic processes driving important molecular processes. However, the potential energy surfaces which characterize complex nano architectures have an extremely high dimensionality, making the exploration of structural dynamics a challenge; simula-tions tend to get trapped in metastable states, making it difficult to explore important transition path-ways.   Drawing on the state-of-the-art in high performance computing [HPC] and virtual reality [VR], NanoVR will develop a new paradigm for undertaking nano-scale design, engineering, and analysis, through a synergistic combination of human design insight on the one hand and computational automation on the other. We will develop an intuitive open-source framework which enables molecular scientists to use VR-enabled interactive MD for guiding the automatic calculation of free energies along dynamical pathways in complex systems. We will highlight the power of this approach by applying it to under-stand enzyme-catalysed peptide macrocyclization, as well as the key protein-ligand interactions re-sponsible for emerging drug resistant strains of influenza. In so doing, we will advance fundamental new microscopic insight into molecular conformational dynamics, and gr

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Economic and ecological recovery of indium, gallium and germanium from industrial waste', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The European Green Deal aims to achieve climate-neutral Europe by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to at least 55% below 1990 levels by 2030. The success of this target requires reliance on low-carbon technologies that are depended on the availability of critical raw materials (CRM) like indium (In), gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge). Besides the improvement of conventional mining technologies, recycling of In, Ga and Ge from solid industrial waste is one of the beneficial alternatives to ensure the availability of CRM and meeting EU targets in future. However, the low concentration of CRM and larger presence of contaminants like Fe/Al makes the recovery of CRM from secondary resource uneconomic and technically unfeasible. Eco-Metalophosphore would overcome these challenges by applying phosphonium ionic liquid (PIL) based solvent extraction (SX) and patented GaLIophore technology to recover  In, Ga and Ge from industrial wastes. PIL-based is a simple and cost-effective process for removal of Fe/Al while GaLIophore technology will be able to selectively recover In/Ga/Ge from the leachate devoid of Fe/Al and up-concentrate. Prior to PIL-based SX and GaLIophore technology, soild waste will be leached through acidic leaching. Upon successful demonstration at the laboratory scale, scale-up of the Eco-Metalophosphore technology will be carried out at 500 L/d scale. To quantify the benefits of the developed technology, life cycle assessment, ecotoxicity analysis of leach residue and generated waste and cost-benefit analysis will be carried out. To ensure the cost-effectiveness of the technology, recycling of PIL, organic acids and siderophores will be attempted. Eco-Metalophosphore contributes to circular economy and innovative green technologies initiatives that enable a susta

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'GRADUATE EDUCATION ALLIANCE FOR TEACHING THE PHYSICS AND SAFETY OF NUCLEAR REACTORS'.

assistant: **Concept**

The GRE@T-PIONEeR project aims at developing a specialized education in reactor physics and nuclear reactor safety for PhD and Post-Doc students, for nuclear engineers, and taken as advanced courses for MSc students. The education will encompass both theory and hands-on training exercises, the latter heavily relying on the use of research/training reactors and of computer-based modelling environments. Sets of educational materials capitalizing on each other will be created, taking profit of the complementary expertise of the consortium partners. The covered topics will allow the students to fully comprehend all the methods and corresponding approximations used for modelling the behaviour of nuclear reactor cores, from the generation of nuclear cross-sections to the response of a reactor during a transient. By following the courses and hands-on training sessions, the students will be able to perform nuclear reactor safety simulations understanding all the approximations on which such simulations rely. This knowledge is essential for educating highly skilled nuclear safety analysts. Furthermore, the project will make use of an innovative pedagogical approach allowing (a) to improve student learning, (b) to maximize the time the students interact with the teachers, and (c) to provide education to remote students. For that purpose, a flipped classroom set-up offered in a hybrid environment allowing combining on-site and off-site attendees will be used. The flipped classroom format, by utilizing pre-recorded lectures and electronic teaching resources available 24/7, will allow the students to learn at their own pace prior to dedicated sessions during which they will interact with the teachers, either on-site or remotely for the off-site attendees. The synchronous sessions wi

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Solitude: Alone but Resilient' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

It is undeniable that social connections and interactions are key to the human experience. Perhaps for this reason, laypeople and scientists alike have assumed that being alone is aversive, a state inexorably tied to lonely emotions and sense of isolation. Yet solitude is experienced daily by nearly everyone, and though it can be negative it can also be a constructive and rewarding time. What makes some more psychologically resilient to solitude and why do some experience fewer of the negative and more of the positive emotions associated with this potentially challenging state? The SOAR project will integrate fragmented literatures and model contributions of predictors at event, individual, and cultural levels.   This ambitious three-part project consists of complementing qualitative and quantitative approaches and will be the first to build a conceptual model through open science methods, offering intrinsic value to research conducted outside of the field of solitude. WP1 explores what solitude, and psychological resilience within it, means to people in different circumstances through semi-structured interviews, imagery, and written narratives. WP2 tests predictors of psychological resilience within solitude to develop a conceptual model, first with a novel diary study approach to capture solitude as it occurs, then with a large-scale multi-nation assessment, and finally with older adults. Finally, WP3 develops a resilience in solitude intervention as an experimental test of the model, and conducts a field experiment with older adults. The radical shift in theory, and use of novel, multifaceted approaches, will guide our understanding of how humans respond in the immediate absence of social connections, and pave the way for further understanding self-processes, the rol

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Kolibri – Ultra-Small Plasmonic Modulators for Terabit Communications' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Polariton Technologies Ltd.'s objective is to deliver the world's fastest and smallest modulators, overcoming the current limitations in telecommunications and sensing applications. In particular, we address the transport bottleneck due to faster evolution in electronic signal generation than in fiber optical transport capability. Modulators that are key components in today’s communication infrastructure perform the conversion from an electrical signal to an optical signal. Today’s electro-optic modulators cannot deliver the speed required for future high-speed telecommunications; they are too large in footprint and hence expensive in fabrication, and energy inefficient. All of this is caused by the photonic nature of current electro-optic modulators. Through recent advances in our endeavor, we could demonstrate plasmonic modulators that are 10 times faster and 100 times smaller than current devices. Further, our devices are extremely energy efficient, thus reducing the carbon footprint for future telecommunication systems.Coming out of ETH Zurich, Switzerland, Polariton Technologies Ltd. is a newly incorporated start-up. Our preliminary results and the echo from our partners make us confident that we are on the right way for closing the gaps with respect to our objectives. We are currently on the way to prepare the first pilots. In order to produce the first devices we still need to invest in R&D in different sectors to achieve the stability and the ideal packaging for the different applications.The expected outcome of this feasibility study is to have reached TRL6 with demonstrations of the technology in relevant environment. The EU funding will accelerate market entry by supporting to solve the remaining technical and business related challenges that are relevant to

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Russia's strategic narrative of the West: A study of influence in Ukraine', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

This project investigates the relationship between mass communication and influence in 21st Century international relations. It does so through a study of Russia’s official and media narratives about the West and their reception in Ukraine. Success in today’s information age is said to depend on ‘whose story wins’. Emerging powers such as Russia have developed various policies and instruments under the banner of ‘soft power’ to challenge Western hegemony in global media discourse. The projection of counter-hegemonic narratives has been documented extensively, yet we still understand little about their reception and the extent of their influence among target audiences.Anti-Western narratives have been a distinguishing feature of the Russian public sphere during Vladimir Putin’s third presidential term. The narratives of Russian politicians and state media characterize ‘the West’ as a destabilizing force which backs, even orchestrates, illegitimate regime change. Russian narratives are easily accessible among some audiences in Ukraine for reasons of language and overlapping media environments. This project employs a survey, focus groups and interviews to study the assimilation or otherwise of negative narratives about the West among Ukrainians. It concentrates on three groups as case studies: MPs, a regional business community and students from a regional university.The project’s principal goal is to identify factors which condition assimilation of anti-Western ideas from Russian strategic narratives, in order to explain when and why they are accepted or eschewed. A second goal is to advance research on power and communication in international affairs by applying the new conceptual framework of ‘strategic narrative’ in a detailed empirical study. Thirdly, the project aims

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Resource-Efficient Self-Reinforced Plastic  Materials and Processing' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The aims of the Esprit project are to reduce the amount of plastic used to make a component by 30% and reduce component weight by 30%, by developing the next generation of lightweight, self-reinforced plastics and the energy-efficient manufacturing processes needed to produce components from this family of materials.  Current forms of self-reinforced plastics typically offer typically 3-5 times the strength and stiffness of unreinforced plastics, but they are only available in sheet or fabric form. This severely limits the range and types of components that can be manufactured and limits the commercial uptake of these important materials.  The overall goal of this project is to develop materials and processes to allow flow moulding (injection moulding and compression moulding) of self-reinforced commodity polymers (polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA) and PET). Key to this is the development of techniques that will allow the selective melting of the polymer matrix without causing adverse effects on the polymer fibre. This will therefore necessitate the development of energy-efficient microwave and induction-heating techniques to allow selective melting of the matrix polymer. High performance, commodity polymers will be used to develop self-reinforced plastics with significantly enhanced properties over existing plastic and, for the first time, the ability to be compression and injection moulded.  This topic is particularly relevant to the work programme, which calls for new processing methods for speciality polymers that are more resource-efficient. Self-reinforced plastics are more resource efficient because they are 3-5 times stronger and stiffer than conventional polymers, so less material is needed to manufacture components to reach a particular specification, but the

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Reuse of Waste Materials for Fire-Spalling-Proof and Crack-Resistant Sustainable Concrete'.

assistant: **Concept**

Fire-induced explosive spalling (violent peeling-off of concrete cover) and plastic shrinkage cracking are major issues for concrete infrastructure. Tunnels and buildings can experience catastrophic failure due to fire spalling, as well as premature deterioration due to cracking, leading to huge economic costs and loss of life. In any new project, EU directives and codes of practice require adequate solutions for the spalling/cracking problems whilst all major existing road tunnels need to be upgraded. However, the mechanisms of fire spalling and shrinkage cracking are not well understood, and there are no guaranteed spalling/cracking prevention measures.This fellowship aims to develop: (1) a better understanding of the complex mechanism behind fire spalling and shrinkage cracking in concrete, and (2) novel sustainable cracking/spalling-mitigation solutions by using waste polymer fibres and greener cementitious binders produced from industrial by-products. If successful, this will enable the replacement of the currently used manufactured polypropylene fibres with waste materials of equal or better performance, thereby providing a possible annual reduction of 0.5 million tonnes of CO2 in an EU market worth about £50 million per annum.The microstructural changes of concrete during the fire attack/shrinkage cracking will be monitored using multi-advanced techniques (e.g. X-ray Computed Tomography) and the revealed mechanisms will help develop predictive models and design recommendations. The host organisation has world-leading expertise in the fields of fire and concrete engineering and it is currently coordinating an EU project (ANAGENNISI) on the reuse of tyre components in concrete. This project, along with training schemes available at the host organization, will provi
