user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'SAHEL IN TRANSITION – Will the re-greening provide a way out of the poverty trap?' (2007-2013) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

After the catastrophic droughts in the 1970’s and early 1980’s, the West African Sahel now seems to experience a re-greening. Analysis of satellite data from the region illustrate an increase in landscape productivity since 1983. While returning rainfall is one reason, there are areas where productivity has increased more than what could be expected when only looking at rainfall trends. This suggests that people are managing the landscape in ways that improve its potential to generate ecosystem services. The re-greening is described as a success story where local people have been able to substantially improve their welfare. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence for these benefits. This postdoctoral project aims to 1) quantify the direct effects of a greener Sahel on local smallholders’ livelihoods, and 2) answer to what degree productive and resilient agro-ecosystems can help Sahelian smallholders escape persistent poverty. For a region that is the home to some of the world’s poorest populations and where there is a large uncertainty about the impacts of  climate change, but where the current re-greening may provide a  window of opportunity for changing the development trajectory, this is a critical  issue.  The project combines participatory field research with modeling of rainfall and household welfare dynamics, to investigate the income contribution from local ecosystem services in communities situated along a non-greened to re-greened gradient in Niger and Burkina Faso. Since the region’s challenging hydro-climate implies a risk for climate-related poverty traps, special focus will be on the influence of landscape productivity on people’s capacity to cope with drought situations without having to deplete their asset holdings. Overall the project will contr

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Spatial Policies for the Environment and Equal Development' (SPEED) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

During the past decades, the connection between the economy and the climate came to the center of attention. However, while scholars and policymakers have been questioning the sustainability of the global economy, many factors have been limiting the design and implementation of coordinated worldwide mitigating policies. Therefore, the predictions for potential impacts on the world economy, and especially on low-income countries, are not optimistic.In this context, developed economies are designing and implementing, unilaterally, stricter environmental policies, like the European Green Deal (EGD): a set of transformative policies for the European Union (EU) to ensure net-zero emissions in the EU while leaving no person and place behind. These spatial policies - i.e., implemented in the EU and not elsewhere - are ambitious but risky, due to interactions with a less stringent rest of the world (e.g., taxing emissions forcing energy-intense industries to reallocate out of the EU). How can the interaction of these environmental policies, between them and with the rest of the world, affect the EUs transition to a net-zero emission, growing economy? How to assure that such a process entails equal economic development within the EU and worldwide?The SPEED project - Spatial Policies for the Environment and Equal Development - will answer these questions. For that, it will start by building the ideal theoretical grounds with state-of-the-art spatial economic models capable of accommodating a wide range of spatial policies. Then, by combining these models with novel, high-resolution spatial datasets, it will perform counterfactual policy experiments that will showcase the efficiency of (and the underlying economic mechanisms behind) these policies.

user: Explain how 'European Training Network for Continuous Sonication and Microwave Reactors' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The European chemical industry faces some very serious challenges if it is to retain its competitive position in the global economy. The new industries setting up in Asia and the Near East are based on novel process-intensification concepts, leaving Europe desperately searching for a competitive edge. The transition from batch to continuous micro- and milliflow processing is essential to ensure a future for the European fine-chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries. However, despite the huge interest shown by both academia and industrial R&D, many challenges remain, such as the problems of reaction activation, channel clogging due to solids formation and the scaling up of these technologies to match the required throughput. COSMIC, the European Training Network for Continuous Sonication and Microwave Reactors, takes on these challenges by developing material- and energy-efficient continuous chemical processes for the synthesis of organic molecules and nanoparticles. The intersectoral and interdisciplinary COSMIC training network consists of leading universities and industry participants and trains 15 ESRs in the areas of flow technology, millifluidics and external energy fields (ultrasound and microwaves). These energy fields can be applied in structured, continuous milli-reactors for producing high-value-added chemicals with excellent yield efficiencies – in terms of throughput, waste minimization and product quality – that simply cannot be achieved with traditional batch-type chemical reactors. The chemical processes that are at the heart of COSMIC’s game-changing research are catalytic reactions and solids-forming reactions. COSMIC’s success, which is based on integrating chemistry, physics and process technology, will re-establish European leadership in this crucial

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'New metal catalised C–H bond activation strategies for chemical synthesis' (CHACTSCS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The capacity to selectively functionalise either small molecules or more complex structures represents a persistent and ever increasing challenge in chemical synthesis. Transition metal catalysed coupling reactions have offered a revolutionary solution to the problem of selective derivatisation that has transformed the way we do synthesis over the last 30 years. However, while these precise reactions almost always proceed as planned this is because you ‘pay up front’ for selectivity by using pre-functionalised building blocks (which of course have to be synthesised selectively themselves). This problem has been partly overcome because of the vast number of small specifically functionalised building blocks that are now available from commercial sources. However, in more complex systems it is not always possible and indeed becomes increasingly more complicated to carry orthogonally reactive motifs through a synthesis in order to exploit further conventional coupling tactics at a later stage. Therefore, the development of new methods for the selective controllable functionalisation of small and/or complex molecules is still a pivotal aspect of modern chemical synthesis. One of the major research theme’s in our research group is a programme dedicated to the development of new reactivity concepts that enable the design of metal catalysed C–H bond functionalisation strategies. Of particular importance in our design blueprint for these new C–H bond functionalisation concepts is (i) controllable and flexible regioselectivity of the new reactions, (ii) mild and facile reaction conditions and (iii) substrate generality. In order to achieve this we try to develop new chemical reactivity principles as part of our catalytic strategies.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Long range-acting drivers of premetastatic niches in melanoma' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Melanoma is the cancer with the fastest rising incidence world-wide, and although recent therapies can achieve unprecedented response rates, a significant fraction of patients still succumb to metastatic lesions. Key pending questions in the field are the mechanisms underlying the inherent metastatic behaviour or melanoma, whereby seemingly thin primary lesions (≥2 mm in depth) bear high risk of dissemination to proximal lymph nodes and ultimately, to distal sites.  A dynamic crosstalk has been proposed to be established between melanoma cells and the lymphatic vasculature at tumour-draining lymph nodes, favouring an immune-permissive “lymphovascular niche”. However, whether (and how) these lymphovascular interactions occur at distal sites is unclear. The Soengas group has generated unique “Lymphoreporter” melanoma mouse models for non-invasive and whole body imaging of tumour progression. These lymphoreporters demonstrated that primary melanomas induce neo-lymphangiogenesis at distal pre-metastatic sites, already from very early stages of the disease, before dissemination occurs. Proteomic analyses were then performed to identify factors in the melanoma secretome that could drive these long range-acting effects and subsequently filtered these proteins for novelty (i.e. no previous link to melanoma and lymphangiogenesis). Here I will focus on the top-ranking factors in this screening. In particular, I will define the impact of these newly-identified melanoma secreted factors on tumour progression and metastasis, focusing on key components of the lymphovascular niche (i.e. on the crosstalk of tumour- vasculature-immune system). Secondly, I will assess the impact of these genes as prognostic biomarkers and indicators of response to clinically-relevant treatments. These st

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Inspection of large solder joints (LASOL)' (LASOL) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Objectives and content:The ÛLASOLÚ project comprises the development evaluation and appraisal of a novel automated inspection system specifically designed for large area solder joints, i. e. joints with a surface area greater than 2mm. Current inspection systems are usually optimized for very small joints (e.g. surface mount), based on grayscale imaging. These systems can check for the existence of a joint, but information on its condition or quality is inadequate. The LASOL system will utilize a non-destructive method based on the light sectional principle to optically inspect the joint surface in 3 dimensions. With this method, the LASOL team intends to achieve:- Establishment of generic relations between geometric structures and quality functions, as fluid and gas tightness or mechanical strength;- 100% testing of industrial production batches; Definition of generic rules for process control using geometric measurement data;- Set-up and validation of an industrial strength pre-competitive prototype for automated inspection of Large Solder Joints.LASOL started in September 1998. In the first 18-month period the LASOL team intends to develop a preliminary measurement set-up to take a large number of samples of real product data. New or adapted filtering and fusion algorithms will be developed to pre-process these data. Geometric information thus generated will be evaluated statistically to establish relations between geometric surface features and quality functions. In the second 18-month period a prototype inspection system will be set-up using novel projection and camera technologies for data acquisition. Inspection software involving newly developed filtering, fusion and statistical evaluation software will be integrated into the LASOL inspection system. Generic rul

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Seasonal-to-decadal climate Prediction for the improvement of EuropeanClimate Services'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) sponsored the Global Framework on Climate Services (GFCS) where the need for actionable climate information for periods from several months up to several years for economic, industrial and political planning has been expressed. However, progress in seasonal forecasting has been slow and decadal forecasting is still incipient. At the same time, new model components to address the role of sea ice, land surface, stratosphere, ocean and their resolution in global models are now available from the climate change and weather forecasting communities. Methods for sophisticated downscaling and calibration for local, reliable climate predictions are scarce in Europe. In this context, SPECS aims to identify the main problems in climate prediction and investigate a battery of solutions from a seamless perspective. SPECS will undertake research and dissemination activities to deliver a new generation of European climate forecast systems, with improved forecast quality and efficient regionalisation tools to produce reliable, local climate information over land at seasonal-to-decadal time scales, and provide an enhanced communication protocol and services tosatisfy the climate information needs of a wide range of public and private stakeholders. The improved understanding and seamless predictions will offer better estimates of the future frequency of high-impact,extreme climatic events and of the prediction uncertainty. New services toconvey climate information and its quality will be used. SPECS will be,among other things, the glue to coalesce the outcome of previous researchefforts that hardly took climate prediction into account. SPECS will ensure interoperability so as to easily incorporate their application inan operational context, pro

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Advancing and strengthening the methodological tools and practices relating to the application and implementation of Health Technology Assessment (HTA)'.

assistant: **Concept**

The use of HTA has increased recently in Europe and more widely (e.g. Americas) to enable evidence-based coverage decisions and improve efficiency in resource allocation.HTA has often resulted in different coverage decisions across settings despite the same evidence being used for this purpose. This may reflect in part societal preferences about value, priorities or risk perceptions, suggesting a significant need for methodological improvements and extensions.The fundamental objective of ADVANCE_HTA is to contribute to advancements in the methods for HTA in European and other settings by involving the wider stakeholder community in areas actively and heavily debated given their implications for decision-making and resource allocation, as follows:• First, the issue around value for money and the different approaches surrounding current thresholds for resource allocation;• Second, the concept of value assessment, and the factors that need to be considered beyond cost effectiveness, such as disease severity;• Third, to improve the quality of the evidence required for and the methods associated with the assessment of rare diseases;• Fourth, to advance the debate in the elicitation of preferences by deriving these in more realistic settings within the patient community in the wider EU;• Fifth, to advance the debate on the suitability of current HTA tools across different categories of medical devices (e.g. diagnostics); and• Sixth, to improve the implementation and capacity building of HTA including outside Europe, where HTA is considered explicitly in decision-making.ADVANCE_HTA aims to broaden the spectrum, complement and address areas of intense methodological debate in the application, use and implementation of HTA. It also aims to improve HTA methods, which can be taken
