user: Explain how 'Local female politicians and their impact on corruption scandals and other crimes' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Globally less than a quarter of national parliamentarians are women (UN Women). Meanwhile corruption, in its various forms, persists and Globally less than a quarter of national parliamentarians are women (UN Women). Meanwhile corruption, in its various forms, persists and seems only weakly constrained by democracy. Existing studies evaluate the impact of female politicians on policies decisions and comparison between the decisions of female and male politicians.Filling the gaps in the literature, CORNELIA (CORruption aNd fEmale poLItical pArticipation)  will investigate the impact of female politicians on corruption scandals at municipal level and other crimes and the possible differences in media coverage between female and male politicians involved in these scandals.  More specifically, it will investigate the following research questions: 1) examine the impact of female politicians on the amount of corruption and scandals, taking advantage of close mixed gender races in Italy and the US; 2) develop measures of the media coverage of corruption scandals and examine whether coverage differs for female and male politicians in Italy and US, and furthermore whether this coverage ameliorates corruption differently; 3) examine the impact of gender quotas on candidates’ lists on the level of corruption and scandals, taking advantage of the gender quotas introduction/abolition at local level in Italy.The research question will be answered using a novel dataset for two different developed countries:1) Italian local data from 1993 to 2019 covering local elections and administrations, corruption and new measures describing media coverage of corruption scandals at the local level, developed by the project; 2) US state level data from 1976 to 2019 covering state level elections an

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'What makes leaves fall in autumn? A new process description for the timing of leaf senescence in temperate and boreal trees' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Leaf phenology is a key component in the functioning of temperate and boreal deciduous forests. The environmental cues for bud-burst in spring are well known, but little is known about the cues controlling the timing of leaf fall in autumn. Leaf fall is the last stage of leaf senescence, a process which allows trees to recover leaf nutrients. We urgently need to understand the controls timing leaf senescence to improve our projections of forest growth and climate change. I propose a new general paradigm of the onset of leaf senescence, hypothesizing that leaf senescence is triggered by the cessation of tree growth in autumn. I expect that: (i) in the absence of growth-limiting environmental conditions, tree growth cessation directly controls leaf-senescence onset; and (ii) in the presence of growth-limiting conditions, photoperiod controls leaf-senescence onset – this prevents trees from starting to senesce too early. I will test these hypotheses with a combination of: (i) manipulative experiments on young trees - these will disentangle the impact of photoperiod from that of other factors affecting tree growth cessation, namely: temperature, drought and soil nutrient availability; (ii) monitoring leaf senescence and growth in mature forest stands; (iii) comparing the leaf senescence dynamics of four major tree species (Fagus sylvatica, Quercus robur, Betula pendula and Populus tremula) in four European locations spanning from 40º to 70º N; and (iv) integrating the new paradigm into a model of forest ecosystem dynamics and testing it for the major forested areas of Europe. The aim is to solve the conundrum of the timing of leaf senescence in temperate and boreal deciduous trees, provide a new interpretation of the relationship between leaf senescence, tree growth and env

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Active microrheology for probing stress transmission in complex media'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Due to its simplicity of application, the economy of its sample size and its non invasive nature, microrheology proves an ideal tool for probing mechanical properties of complex environments. Conventionally, microrheology is based on translating the diffusive motion of colloidal particles into the elastic properties of the diffusing medium by means of linear response and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. However, non linear processes such as stress transduction in cellular environments and strong shear in complex fluids are not accessible by this method. It has recently been suggested that by using active microrheology, where the tracer particles are driven, the non-linear nature of stress transmission in complex fluids can be measured. However, the interpretation of these experiments is not straightforward since the fluctuation-dissipation theorem no longer holds. We propose to systematically develop active microrheology as a tool for probing stress transmission in complex fluids with the far goal of applying it to study mechanotransduction in living cells. We will start by studying complex fluids such as dense colloidal suspensions and biological gels in which the nonlinear rheological properties in bulk are known. We will then proceed to study artificial biomimetic model systems and finally apply our method to live cells.To this end we will use a system of holographic optical tweezers to drive colloidal particles in complex fluids in combination with confocal imaging of fluorescent tracer particles to visualize the response of the fluid.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Overcoming the efficiency limitation of semiconductor quantum dot-based light-emitting diodes'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are an emerging class of light-emitting compounds for solution-processed optoelectronics such as the light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Compared to the state-of-the-art compound semiconductors and organic light emitting diodes (OLED), the CQD-based LEDs possess extremely high color purity and low materials cost, representing the only feasible materials solution towards realization of the newly-defined Rec. 2020 standard for the next-generation displays. However, the theoretical upper limit of the device external quantum efficiency (EQE) is only ~20%, considerably lower than those in OLEDs and InGaN LEDs. The fundamental bottleneck is that it is not yet possible to control the emission directionality perpendicular to the substrate plane in the CQD superlattices, without compromising the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). As a result, a lot of photons are wasted due to the total internal reflection (TIR) at the air/glass interface, as well as exciton quenching during interparticle energy transfer.In order to overcome the efficiency limitation, my research group pioneers synthesis, physics, and LED device of layer-controlled colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) of organic-inorganic hybrid lead halide perovskites (OIHPs), the two-dimensional nanocrystals of OIHP in colloidal solution. Our results have suggested that the materials system might be the ultimate solution for the quantum-dot based LEDs. We found that the CQWs possess: (i) the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics, boosting the film PLQY up to 97%, and (ii) the emission directionality (ED) perpendicular to the substrate plane in their self-assembled superlattices. Based on the new photophysical properties that have never been found in any other CQD systems, in this proposa

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Convenience Food Enriched with Marine based Raw Materials' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Recent process improvements have created new possibilities for the use of marine based ingredients in functional foods. Consumers tend to favour functional foods over supplementary pills as means to prevent diseases.  The market for these types of products is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. By adding marine-based bioactive ingredients from low value by-products and underutilised raw material to foods they obtain added value, both economical, for health and more sustainable use of resources.  Few natural food antioxidants are commercially available on the market. Due to strong market demand and very positive preliminary tests it is believed that seaweed food antioxidant extracts can be highly competitive on the market and find various uses in food. A unique new tasteless omega-3 powder ingredient is new on the market with the ability to both regulate and maintain the body’s omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid balance while simultaneously safeguarding the daily need for omega-3 from fish and protective biological antioxidants from olives (flavonoids).  The aim is to increase the value of convenience food by enriching seafood, cereal and dairy products with bioactive compounds; powder of fish oil and seaweed extracts with confirmed bioavailability. The functional properties of the enriched products will be studied via dietary intervention. The consortium consists of SME’s interested in strengthening their competiveness, increasing market share and creating business opportunities in national and European markets using the expert knowledge and capacity provided by the RTDs. New markets for bioactive marine based products, seaweed and fish oil as ingredients in functional (sea) foods, cereal and dairy will open and increase the competitiveness of the SME´. Verificatio

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Innovative cable car for urban transport' (CABLESMART).

assistant: **Innovation**

Urban population is rising, demanding a greener and more efficient urban public transport. Indeed, traditional public transport modes – railways, subways, tramways, busses – have significant construction & exploitation costs, and high pollution & energy consumption. Despite a lower impact on urban fabric, current cableways are hindered by reduced reliability, limited safety, and high operation & maintenance cost that make unfeasible to install and operate a complete urban network. To overcome those limitations, Dimensione ingenierie Srl (D.I.), Italian company with more than 30-years-experience team in cableway engineering & construction, is developing CableSmart, the first cableway alternative to provide a complete urban transport network: sustainable & green urban transport solution, CableSmart allows mobility and better accessibility to steeper areas, facilitating logistics, serving business and citizens. Our technology is based on smart, self-propelled and energy efficient cabins (-70% reduced energy consumption, 50% of which produced by integrated solar panels). With a capacity for 5,000 passenger/hour (10 people/cabin) and a cableway network that can reach >10km, CableSmart is the new solution for urban transport.CableSmart offers a competitive solution with low construction (≤€10M/km) and exploitation costs (€0.3 /passenger), for a payback period ≤ 6 years. CableSmart successful launch will be by 2021: after 5 years of exploitation, we expect to sell 11 CableSmart units, boosting our revenues and gross profits to respectively €135M and €33M by the 5th year of exploitations, and creating 65 new job opportunities.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Process engineering for sustainable recovery of valuable metals by ELECTRO-IONometallugy' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Current process methodologies for mineral and metal processing depend on a significant amount of energy, which is mostly produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. The mass flow and energy efficiencies of these processes are poor, leading to a large volume of solid, liquid and gas waste residues. Although, transition to low-carbon technologies is essential to combat climate change, this will also lead to an increasing demand for strategic minerals/metals. Consequently, if we continue using conventional technologies, high operational cost and rise in CO2 emissions can be expected.  In this context, ionometallurgy may provide more efficient and selective processing opportunities, as it makes use of ionic solvents to process metals. ELECTROION will use the so called deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which are mixtures of salts such as choline chloride with hydrogen-bond donors such as urea. These are environmentally benign and the components are already produced in large quantities at low cost. Previous studies have already demonstrated the capability of DES to dissolve metals from a variety of raw materials. Due to their high ionic strength, they also allow the recovery of metals from the solution by electrochemical methods. Hence, the integration of mineral dissolution and metal recovery in ionic solvents can significantly improve space-time yields. Yet, the properties of DESs may be compromised over time, which may inhibit their reuse/recyclability. Also, the effect of oxidising agents on the electrochemical stability of the ionic solvents have not been studied yet. Techno-economic analysis shows that the use of DESs is very reliant on efficient recovery of the liquid. The project will focus on efficient digestion and recovery of all of the economically important streams

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'SERVICIZING POLICY FOR RESOURCE EFFICIENT ECONOMY'.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of SPREE project is to identify potential Servicizing Policies and simulate their effect on absolute decoupling of economic growth and resource use, while achieving societal benefits. Servicizing Systems facilitate the transition from selling products to providing services. Except for ICT, these are still quite rare. SPREE is dedicated to promote the implementation of Servicizing Systems in 3 different sectors: water, mobility and agri-food.We propose to use an advanced Agent Based Modelling (ABM) approach to structure and test options for Servicizing Systems and Policies. This provides a generic framework that allows exploring short and long term effects, and assessment of the 3 sectors in different countries. Based on the models' results and complementary qualitative analysis we will construct 'Servicizing Policy Packages' that take into account the environmental, economic and social dimensions and trade-offs between them. Thus, SPREE results will help to realize EU strategies particularly in the framework of EUROPE 2020.Based on conceptualization of Servicizing Systems, we use existing instruments and develop new tools that fit into the evaluation of emerging Servicizing Systems and policies' effects. We define more suitable dynamic tools needed for ex-ante assessment of newly created supply chains that can emerge out of Servicizing activities. Using ABM, we demonstrate how Servicizing Systems develop and test outcomes of proposed policies on the creation of successful Servicizing opportunities leading to absolute decoupling.The SPREE consortium consists of 10 partners from 7 different countries, and includes public bodies and research institutes to provide a sound base for both Servicizing Systems and Policy. The key deliverable is 'Servicizing Policy Packag

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Exploring a click-to-release approach to uncage FAP-theranostics, based on TCO-radiotracers'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Radioligand therapy has recently received renewed attention as promising treatment option to improve cancer patient outcome. Compared to conventional cancer treatments, this strategy involves a more specific targeting of therapeutic radionuclides to the tumor, which aims to increase treatment efficacy. Despite recent progress, currently available treatments show insufficient tumor killing and normal tissue toxicity, and we hypothesize that a pretargeted click-to-release (C2R) strategy can bridge this gap. Within this strategy, we propose to explore Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) inhibitors as tumor targeting vectors, to deliver a therapeutic radionuclide fragment intracellularly using cell permeable, cleavable transcyclooctene (dcTCO) constructs and compare it with conventional dTCOs. To reinsure intracelular release, after C2R, we designed new structures containing an RGD peptide (with integrin v3 binding specificity). Our molecular constructs also aim to prevent FAP efflux, by using a guanidinium and nicotinoyl residualizing groups. This project will evaluate the reactivity, in vitro stability, logD and radiochemical yield of the new molecules, and the C2R efficiency of the dcTCOs. A FAP inhibitor (dimer) will be weaponized with a tetrazine handle to be the targeting vector and biorthogonal pair of these new constructs, and it's affinity and selectivity will be evaluated in vitro, against other proteases. The dcTCOs and dTCOs with better reaction kinetics and C2R efficiency (dcTCOs) will be selected for the development of 18F- and 125I-radiolabeled probes. The celular uptake and internalization will be evaluated on tumor cells (FAP positive cells, integrin v3 positive cells, both FAP and v3 positive).This project is a innovative strategy to improve the radiation

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Young Universities for the Future of Europe - Postdoc programme' (YUFE4Postdocs) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

YUFE4Postdocs (Y4P) is an  ambitious and novel postdoctoral training programme, launched by the Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) Alliance in the context of its R&I Agenda. Under the overarching theme ‘Urban opportunities & challenges in the 4 YUFE Focus Areas’, two calls will result in the appointment of 51 excellent researchers across 10 universities. Stakeholder interactions, Open Science and interdisciplinarity run as a red thread throughout the programme, which is centered around community engagement.Y4P offers attractive employment conditions, including 36-month appointments and competitive remuneration. Its selection process pilots a novel approach by assessing applicants on a broader and qualitative set of selection criteria, with extensive involvement of external stakeholders. The unique 3-pillar training programme features interactive stakeholder engagement seminars (Pillar 1), combined with a variety of joint transferable skills trainings (Pillar 2) and complementary partner courses (Pillar 3). A triple-I mobility scheme is set in place, covering 6-month intra-YUFE mobility, optional intersectoral secondments, and encouraged interdisciplinary cooperation. Each postdoc is supported by a triad of supervisors, with a Career Development Plan as their individual roadmap. Under the coordination of UAntwerpen, the consortium unites the 10 YUFE Partners with 19 cities, regions and business organisations as Associated Partners, and can benefit from their extensive experience - in full synergy with YUFE’s existing project portfolio (incl. YUFERING, DIOSI and Inno4YUFE). Overall, Y4P will (1) empower future proof researchers, skilled to work in interdisciplinary environments and with access to various career pathways; (2) spur bottom-up bilateral and mu
