user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Knowing each other: everyday religious encounters, social identities and tolerance in southwest Nigeria'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This research investigates the role of religious difference and encounter by focusing on the multi-religious and notably tolerant Yoruba people of southwest Nigeria. Drawing on a large-scale ethnographic survey on the everyday lives of Muslims, Christians and traditionalists as well as field and archival work produced and collected by a Nigerian/UK-based research team under my leadership, the proposed research will explore the importance of religious difference for the constitution of important social identities as well as the establishment of practices of tolerance in one of Africa’s largest ethnic groups (more than 30 million Yoruba speakers). Through its Yoruba case study, the planned programme maps out the new field of ‘everyday religious encounter’. It will do so by(1) determining the incidence of bi- and multi-religious constellations including Muslims, Christians and traditionalists in contemporary marriages, families/ lineages, and in other contexts,(2) exploring the way in which religious differences and encounters structure the experiences, perceptions and behaviours of Yoruba individuals in their everyday social identities as men and women as well as members of different generations, and through life and family histories,(3) reflecting on the way in which the attitudes and practices of everyday life contribute to the high level of religious tolerance among adherents of different religions in Yorubaland,(4) developing, and refining in comparative debates, an understanding of the broader issues and theoretical relationships between the constitution of social identities and religious tolerance, and(5) initiating a paradigm shift in the theoretical and practical understanding of religious tolerance, both in Nigeria and in other countries in which religious differ

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Synthesis and characterization of very large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for discotic liquid crystals and photoconductors' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Research objectives and content Professor Mullen's group has developed several synthetic methods to synthesize Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), functionalized or not by n-alkyl chains. It is proposed in this project to synthesize new and even larger PAHs by different organometallic methods, to determine their complex structure and to study the liquid crystalline and photoconductivity behaviour of the material. These studies consist in measuring their dynamic behavior, their thermal properties and their charge carrier mobility. This characterization requires to use a lot of analysis techniques, mainly polarizing microscopy, scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffratometry and solid-state NMR-spectroscopy. Such new compounds have an extremely attractive profile of properties that will be characterized. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) Such a project could enable me to widen my knowledge in organometallic synthesis and in polymer research (synthesis, characterization and properties analysis) as well as in german. Contacts with several scientists groups inside and outside the Institute are required. So such a project combines a personal as well as a collective multidisciplinary. This represents an interesting scientific challenge for a scientific career. Links with industry / industrial relevance (22) This proposal being related to industries (BASF and Philips), it is very complete as it concerns the synthesis, the characterization and the expected use of the material as photoconductors .

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Timing visually guided behaviour - psychophysical tests of four models of human estimation of time-to-collision from retinal flow'.

assistant: **Concept**

Knowing how human observers direct and time behaviour is important for understanding mental processes and for the design of intelligent systems. Judging time-to-collision with approaching objects, or with stationary objects during forward locomotion, is one important component of this behaviour. Four different theoretical models of the estimation process have been proposed but, though the competence of each has been established through computational studies, none has been systematically compared with human performance. This project identifies different predictions about how each model will perform in particular stimulus situations and proposes experiments to test these predictions. The results will confirm if one of the existing models is correct or whether a new model is needed. In the latter case, it will identify new constraints for such a model.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'High Coast to West Coast Hydrogen Valley' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

HiWHyV will establish Sweden’s first large-scale hydrogen valley by connecting two complementary regional hubs: the West Coast Hydrogen Hub, home to the country’s largest hydrogen demand and industrial infrastructure, and the High Coast Hydrogen Hub, one of Europe’s most favourable regions for renewable hydrogen production. Together, these hubs form a dual hydrogen valley model that integrates production, conversion, storage, transport, and end-use across multiple sectors, including industry, transport, and energy. HiWHYV deploys 994 MW of electrolysis capacity across nine hydrogen nodes, producing up to 132,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually. Applications include e-fuels (e-SAF and e-methanol), green fertilisers, and hydrogen-based mobility and backup power. Industrial symbiosis will be demonstrated through the reuse of residual oxygen and waste heat in aquaculture and district heating, enhancing system efficiency and sustainability. HiWHyV showcases full hydrogen value chains at commercial scale, integrating multiple technologies and use cases, and pioneering a demand-led, regionally adapted deployment strategy. The project also supports replication across Europe, with dedicated actions in three follower regions (Germany, Spain, and Greece), and the development of digital tools, policy recommendations, and a whitebook to guide future hydrogen valleys. In parallel, HiWHyV embeds systemic enablers for long-term impact, including governance alignment, infrastructure planning, public engagement, skills development, and energy system modelling. Through its Transition Arena, the project fosters co-creation among stakeholders from industry, government, academia, and civil society.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Reconstituting Democracy in Europe' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

RECON seeks to clarify whether democracy is possible under conditions of pluralism, diversity and complex multilevel governance. This includes taking proper heed of the challenges to democracy at EU and national levels. RECON spells out three different models for democratic reconstitution:- democracy can be reconstituted at the national level with a concomitant reframing of the EU as a functional regulatory regime;- democracy can be reconstituted through establishing the EU as a federal state based on a collective identity; and- democracy can be reconstituted through developing a post-national Union with an explicit cosmopolitan imprint.RECON assesses which approach to democratic reconstitution is most viable - in empirical and normative terms - through analyzing the EU's constitutionalisation process; the institutional complex at the EU and member state levels; the role and status of gender within the enlarged Europe; the democratic quality and governing capacity of the Union within tax/fiscal and foreign/security policy; and the multilevel configuration of civil society/public sphere. It examines the effects of external transnationalisation on the EU and discerns democratic lessons from comparison with non-European complex multilevel entities.RECON enhances knowledge of the enlargement process: the transition and consolidation of democracy in the new member states and of the overall challenges posed by globalization to established democracies. RECON identifies strategies through which democracy can be strengthened and participation of citizens increased, and provides a set of policy recommendations in line with these. It analyses measures to rectify institutional and constitutional defects; gendered and social inequality; and measures to rectify democratic deficits in

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Ultra precise nanoparticles to harvest light', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Solar energy is an attractive source of alternative energy contributing to fossil fuel independence. Research is still needed to bring down the cost of solar cells for commercial use. For this, novel concept solar cell research make use of low cost materials with novel techniques, often at the nanoscale. The main aim of this grant proposal lays in the development of ultra precise nanoparticles with sizes where quantum confinement becomes dominant. With these so called quantum dots (QD) the band gap of any semiconductor can be tailored by changing the size thereby harvesting different parts of the solar spectrum. The applicant has worked for 8 years outside the Netherlands and will endeavour to establish a new research line in quantum dot photovoltaics. This Career Integration Grant will help him to reach a solid starting point from which to apply to project funding in national and international consortia. A nanoparticle source (gas aggregation in vacuum) will enable the production of ultra precise nanoparticles (silicon, germanium, etc), i.e. high size control, which will considerably enhance the quality of the QD solar cell and the involved processes. A second research theme is the use of plasmonics of metal nanostructures (particles) to enhance optical absorption in solar cells. Both field enhancement and plasmonic coupling will be explored.The applicant has extensive international research experience in the field of nanoparticles. Combined with the host expertise in photovoltaics this forms a formidable effort to advance the science and technology of novel concepts in solar cells. The applicant has a tenure track assistant professor position and will start his own research team within the host group. The existing infrastructure and expertise are readily available to

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Boosting Confocal Microscopes by Quantum Image Scanning Microscopy' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The goal of the QuISM project is to develop an add-on module for confocal microscopes which will enhance the spatial resolution of the microscope by up to a factor of 4 and provide quantitative fluorescence imaging, taking advantage of the Quantum-assisted Image Scanning Confocal method recently developed within the frame of the ColloQuantO ERC-CoG project.Image-scanning confocal microscopes (ISM), proposed several decades ago and demonstrated for the first time in 2010 are already a commercial reality (led by the Zeiss ""Airyscan"" system). Our recently developed method takes advantage of the inherent quantum properties of fluorescence emission to achieve an up to a 2-fold improvement of resolution in ISM without compromising any of the advantageous properties of the standard ISM system. The only significant hardware changes required for QuISM are the operation of the detector in single-photon counting (“Geiger”) mode and the addition of an electronic correlator element which performs preliminary data analysis on the readout of the stream of photons from the detector array. Within this configuration, “standard” ISM data is readily obtained even when a microscope is operated in QuISM mode.The QuISM project will set the basis for commercializing QuISM by substantiating the already commercialized CMOScompatible single photon avalanche photodiode array detectors are suitable for this method, proving that the method is applicable for conventional fluorophores used in biology experiments, as well as by developing proper image analysis tools which can fully exploit the potantial of QuISM in terms of acquisition time and quantitative assessment of samples.""

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Effect of nanoparticles on membrane fusion' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Nanoparticles (NPs) of different sizes, shapes, materials, and surface chemistry have been increasingly incorporated in modern formulations. In these applications, it is ubiquitous that NPs are exposed to biological media and come into intimate contact with cells. There is currently an urgent need to bridge the gap in our knowledge of NP toxicity in order to fulfil the potential of nanomaterial application. Such an understanding is also critical to the public perception of the safety of nanomaterials. Gaining cellular entry is a major route for NPs to impart toxicity. Studies using cell viability assays provide useful phenomenological information on the toxicity of specific NPs against specific cells under specific conditions, which however gives limited mechanistic insights into how NP physical properties are correlated with their cellular entrance and consequent toxicity. Physicochemical experiments using quantitative methods to probe the fundamental process of NP cellular entrance are lacking. A directly relevant fundamental area on the mechanisms of NP cellular entrance but remains largely unexplored is how NPs would affect the mechanism of membrane fusion - specifically, how the presence of NPs may lower the energetic barrier in the membrane fusion process. The scientific innovation of this project is to directly measure, using the surface force apparatus (SFA), in situ and in real time, interactions and fusion between model membranes (i.e. supported lipid bilayers) in the presence of NPs and as a function of lipid compositions and physicochemical properties of NPs. Direct visualisation of membrane contact in the SFA allows the role of NPs in the spatiotemporal structural evolution of membrane fusion, as the membranes engage in contact, compression, adhesion and fu

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Ultrafast Charge Transfer in ion-atom collision investigated by Molecular Quantum Dynamics Methods' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of the proposed project is to complete, maximize and enhance the scientific and management competencies gained by the applicant during the previous MC Fellowship, which she performed in Germany. The experience and complementary skills gained during the Fellowship are crucial for establishing herself as an independent scientist in the field of the ultrafast dynamics. The financial contribution of the European Reintegration Grant will support a young researcher with her effort to set up her own research group in Poland.The DYNAMICOL project is devoted to the study of the dynamics of charge transfer (CT) processes taking place in a collision in the femto and attosecond time scales. The development of the ultrashort pulses produced by free-electron lasers and high harmonic generation has opened up the way to a new chemistry showing enormous possibility to observe the nuclear and electron motion in realm time. However, the dynamics of CT in the eV range of energy has been only scarcely investigated. DYNAMICOL aims at analyzing the mechanism of CT during an ion-atom collisions. Novel time-dependent wave packet propagation methods developed by the applicant to follow the attosecond nuclear motion involved in the collision at low energies will be applied. The methodology will be applied to the interactions between carbon ions, Cq+ (q=2,3,4,6), with H/He atoms. Firstly, to study the molecular structure of the systems, detailed knowledge of the potentials energies and non-adiabatic couplings between the states involved in the process will be obtained by using high level ab initio methods. Secondly, the dynamics of the process in ultrafast domain will be studied by the nuclear wave packet propagation methods. The simulations will be performed, as a first step in 1D, and se

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Vessel co-option and radioresistance in glioblastoma', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the deadliest types of human cancer. Despite a very aggressive treatment regime – including resection of the tumor, radiation and chemotherapy – its estimated recurrence rate is more than 90%. Recurrence is mostly caused by the regrowth of highly invasive cells spreading from the tumor bulk, which are not removed by resection. To develop an effective therapeutic approach, we need to better understand the underlying molecular mechanism of radiation resistance and tumor spreading in GBM. Radioresistance in GBM is attributed to glioma stem cells (GSCs), a fraction of perivascular, self-renewing, multipotent and tumor-initiating cells. Growing evidence highlights the perivascular space as a niche for GSC survival, resistance to therapy, progression and dissemination. The unknown factor is the dynamics of GSCs, how they end up in the vascular niche and how this impacts on radioresistance. My overall hypothesis is that GSCs reach the perivascular niche through vessel co-option - the directional migration of tumor cells towards vessels - and that targeting vessel co-option has the potential to radiosensitize GBM.With this project, we aim to uncover the exact molecular and cellular connections among vessel co-option, GSCs, the vascular niche and radioresistance. Using multiple strategies, such as multiphoton intravital microscopy, orthotopic models of GBM, organotypic cultures, screenings and survival studies, we will investigate and mechanistically change the dynamics of GSC and differentiated GBM cells in order to understand the role of their interaction with brain vessels and whether this confers resistance to radiotherapy. These studies will provide clinically relevant insights into the involvement of GSCs, the vascular niche and vessel co-optio
