user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Water management strategies and climate change in the Indus Civilisation' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

WaMStrIn will re-evaluate the relationship between human settlement and the changing hydrological network of the Indus area of Pakistan during the emergence of first urban centres in ancient South Asia (2500-1900 BC). The ancient Indus was the most extensive of the three so-called cradles of Old World civilisation and a number of attempts have been made to trace the network of palaeorivers that watered this region and sustained its ancient population. Using a novel combination of multi-temporal satellite remote sensing, GIS-based topographic analysis, geostatistics and network analysis WaMStrIn will overcome previous problems in the detection of ancient rivers and associated archaeological sites. In doing so WaMStrIn will provide new hypotheses and quantifiable open access data on (1) past water management, (2) the mechanism employed to cope with changing water availability and (3) the consequences of a long-term shift towards more arid conditions for South Asia's earliest large-scale, urban, and interconnected society.Water management and availability are relevant to a range of current archaeological debates, particularly those related to food security, sustainability and resilience. These issues are also directly relevant to current investigation into the impact of climate change on modern populations in regions that are becoming increasingly arid. WaMStrIn study area is core to this debate as it was intensely occupied by an urban society that was affected by a dramatic weakening of the Indian Summer Monsoon around 4200 years ago. The successful development of WaMStrIn will provide relevant new methods for the study of water management in the past and important new data for a sustainable planning and management of water in the current context of climate change towards

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Geo-inspired pathways towards nanoparticle-based metastable solids'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Constant search of new solids is required to advance our knowledge in materials science, and then to stimulate progresses in fields like energy and environment. Genesis aims at expanding the collection of functional inorganic solids as nanoparticles by rational exploratory synthesis. The pivotal idea is to draw inspiration from the processes of solid formation encountered in natural geological processes, in order to set a framework of synthesis conditions prone to yield new nanoscaled solids.I focus on kinetically stabilized, metastable solids, which yield novel, sometimes surprising properties prone to deliver new functions. However, conventional solid-state syntheses use high temperatures that yield thermodynamic products, hence hampering the synthesis of metastable inorganic solids. This obstacle is even more significant when the solids possess complex structures, as is the case of non-oxides made of transition metals and boron, silicon or phosphorus. The known members of these families are made of covalent bonds that bring unique electrocatalytic properties. This motivates the search of ternary solids joining these elements. Their quest is a synthetic challenge that I will address by the discovery of new metastable covalent solids. To do so, I will set an original inorganic synthesis methodology by taking inspiration from the processes of crystallization of gems in molten salts, of lavas at high rate and of metamorphic rocks at high pressures to merge nanosciences and solid-state chemistry. Genesis will operate at the crossroad of three pillars: use of the surface energy of nanoparticles to stabilize solids that would be metastable in their extended form; establishment of liquid-phase syntheses at 300-1000 °C in mild conditions; use of high-pressure chemistry to sta

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Square Kilometre Array Design Studies'.

assistant: **Concept**

European Radio Astronomers are developing the most versatile, flexible and technologically most advanced concept toward the Square Kilometre Array (SKA"). Using phased arrays, it allows multiple fields of view in a stand-alone observing instrument or, in its technology scope, is the enabling technology for all other realisations. During this four-year Square Kilometre Array Design Study ("SKADS") the partners will develop a full understanding of all aspects of the array concept relevant to the implementation of the SKA and demonstrate the array's candidacy as a SKA pathfinder within the international SKA planning and budgetary process. Preparing for SKA's next phase, SKADS strengthens the technology basis and the organizational framework of the European SKA Community, involving industry in several key areas and establishes a key role for European radio-astronomy and technology on a global scale. Feasibility Studies within SKADS involve science, technological and architectural aspects on system level through a number of Tasks and Technical Preparatory Work as Tasks for key technology R&D on "tile level" and for performance Demonstrators. The Feasibility Studies map astronomical objectives and requirements onto the system implementation e.g. through simulations, the network design and its infrastructure. The Preparatory Work concerns the technological maturity, technology selection, cost and other relevant considerations as well as proof-of-concept demonstrators and the development of superior subsystems. Together, these tasks constitute a coherent framework allowing critical assessments as input to the final Tasks of SKADS, the Overall Design and the Preliminary SKA Plan. In concluding SKADS, the R&D readiness is addressed, the feasibility of aperture arrays as enabling

assistant: **Innovation**

FRONTSH1P aims at ensuring green and just transition of the Polish Lodzkie Region towards decarbonization and territorial regeneration through demonstration at TRL7 of highly replicable circular systemic models and FRONTSH1P aims is to create a territorial cluster of circular initiatives to accelerate the transition to a more green, resilient economy, able to provide sustainable responses to the need of the involved regions. The proposed model will be implemented and demonstrated in Lodzkie Region, where key territorial partners, and particularly the Regional Institution, the scientific partner, the representative of civil society and Industry Groups, will play a relevant role in promoting, facilitating, and enabling systemics and circular economy at regional scale. The involvement of those relevant actors will allow the promotion of the circular economy and to reach relevant actors, such as municipalities, companies, consumers, and civil society, which will be engaged in a participatory approach to collect needs and perceived constraints. From this activity, the cluster system will identify and define a circular economy strategy, with clear objectives, measurable targets, and a proper monitoring method. Moreover, the cluster will facilitate collaborations and co-operations among relevant actors for boosting circularity. It will mean to: - Identify already available initiatives and policies at local, regional, national, and international level- Create platforms to explore opportunities and to share information, best practices, and successful examples- Activate a strong communication between universities, businesses, and civil society for the technological transfer- Exchange information and experiences with other Regions and CountriesThe proposal will foresee activities,

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'FOOD SAFETY CONTROLS FOR ALL' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Food Safety controls for allZEULAB (www.zeulab.com) is a biotechnology company specialized in the development, production and commercialization of food diagnostics tests. Our dynamic and proactive team of 25 people invests annually 25% of its activity in R&D projects. As a result of this work during almost 20 years we have developed a wide range of innovative solutions in the main areas of Food Safety and Quality (residues, pathogens, adulterations, toxins ...). ZEULAB´s test kits are commercialized worldwide through a network of distributors specialized in food diagnostics. Our company has an annual turnover around 3 million Euros and exports 70% of its products in more than 40 countries.The World Health Organization considers antibiotic resistance as one of the three greatest threats to human health for the next decades. Control of antibiotics in the primary sector and food chain is therefore one of main objectives of EU authorities. Unfortunately, there is a lack of suitable analytical systems for the primary sector (farms) and processors (slaughterhouses, dairies) to screen more than 50 authorized antibiotics.Our long experience and good market position in this field has allowed us to identify a great opportunity to develop an innovative system (e-Reader®) that transforms a laboratory assay (lab in-a-box concept) in an easy, fast and economic solution adapted to antibiotics self-controls for all food operators (farmers, dairies, slaughterhouses,…). e-Reader´s prototype complies with the EU legislation and is being validated by 3 reference laboratories in Europe.This project will place ZEULAB in the forefront of a potential market of millions of tests that will allow our company to grow at least 3-5 times (9-15 M€ and 80% of exports) in the next 5 years.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Boosting Brain-Computer Communication with high Quality User Training' (BrainConquest) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are communication systems that enable users to send commands to computers through brain signals only, by measuring and processing these signals. Making computer control possible without any physical activity, BCIs have promised to revolutionize many application areas, notably assistive technologies, e.g., for wheelchair control, and human-machine interaction. Despite this promising potential, BCIs are still barely used outside laboratories, due to their current poor reliability. For instance, BCIs only using two imagined hand movements as mental commands decode, on average, less than 80% of these commands correctly, while 10 to 30% of users cannot control a BCI at all.A BCI should be considered a co-adaptive communication system: its users learn to encode commands in their brain signals (with mental imagery) that the machine learns to decode using signal processing. Most research efforts so far have been dedicated to decoding the commands. However, BCI control is a skill that users have to learn too. Unfortunately how BCI users learn to encode the commands is essential but is barely studied, i.e., fundamental knowledge about how users learn BCI control is lacking. Moreover standard training approaches are only based on heuristics, without satisfying human learning principles. Thus, poor BCI reliability is probably largely due to highly suboptimal user training.In order to obtain a truly reliable BCI we need to completely redefine user training approaches. To do so, I propose to study and statistically model how users learn to encode BCI commands. Then, based on human learning principles and this model, I propose to create a new generation of BCIs which ensure that users learn how to successfully encode commands with high signal-to-noise

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Exploring the effect of seedling’s drought vulnerability on treeline dynamics under climatic change using quantitative wood anatomy' (2021-2027) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Global warming has modified the distribution of some forests growing at their altitudinal limit (treelines): some have been advancing (leading to loss of alpine biodiversity and changes in surface reflectance of mountain and polar areas), others remained stable leaving a lag between the position of uppermost tree stands and the treeline isotherm (TI, common seasonal mean temperature indicative for potential treeline position). Despite these striking worldwide patterns, there is a lack of systematic observation to understand the drivers of differential treeline response to global warming. The extent of the treeline lag behind warming may be associated with seedlings survival. However, as temperature is considered the main factor responsible for treeline, the role of seedling drought sensitivity as driver of differential treeline response to global warming is poorly understood. Certain xylem anatomical traits (XA) such as conduits wall thickness-area ratio, conduits area and layers, pits, and parenchyma area may confer drought adaptations, ultimately affecting survival and growth under increasing warming conditions. The proposed research will help understand the drivers of differential treeline response to global warming. I will analyse the effect of XA on the distance of the uppermost tree stands to TI in representative European treeline tree species. We will determine the treelines’ lag across several regions. I will quantify XA and their plasticity, and correlate them with treeline position. My contribution to achieve the project objectives relies on quantitative wood anatomy experience for studying drought adaptations in tree species, and examining patterns between drought resistance and anatomical variation. This project brings me experience abroad to get a permanent

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Search and Rescue: Emerging technologies for the Early location of Entrapped victims under Collapsed Structures and Advanced Wearables for risk assessment and First Responders Safety in SAR operations'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Apart from earthquakes that usually result to catastrophic structural collapses, with many people entrapped or killed (e.g. Indonesia 2018, Japan 2011, Haiti 2010, Italy 2009, Greece 1999), there are also other causes that may result into a building’s collapse, such as an accidental explosion or a terrorist attack (e.g. 9/11) in public areas or critical infrastructures (airports etc.). Moreover, natural disasters like earthquakes may trigger technological disasters, such as industrial chemical release or even fires; this dynamic or “domino effect”, as it is called may pose tremendous risks to the countries and communities and hence it is a great challenge to cope with by the first responders and relevant organizations of civil protection.First responders and rescuers need specialized instrumentations, available to all times, easily accessible that meet stringent requirements in terms of detection accuracy, quick localization, and reduction of false alarms.The S&R project will design, implement and test through a series of large scale pilot scenarios a highly interoperable, modular open architecture platform for first responders’ capitalising on expertise and technological infrastructure from both COncORDE and IMPRESS FP7 projects. The governance model of S&R will be designed to operate more effectively and its architectural structure will allow to easily incorporate next generation R&D and COTS solutions which will be possibly adopted in the future disaster management systems. The Model will also support a unified vision of the EU role and will provide a common framework to assess needs and integrate responses. The framework will enable supportive approach using a wider range of decisional support features and monitoring systems and will also give to first responders an

user: Describe how 'Optimisation of free-form milling with ball-end tools through computational manufacturing' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Free-form surfaces are present in key industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy, fulfilling both aesthetic and functional requirements. Ball-end milling is preferred for manufacturing due to its high efficiency and precision. However, the large number of variables makes the process challenging and not fully understood. The intermittent cutting characteristics, along with changes in tool-workpiece contact and variations in effective cutting speed, are some of the difficult aspects to predict that significantly impact surface quality and part accuracy. Additionally, depending on the tool orientation, the transition between ploughing and shearing as the predominant mechanisms can occur, with the transitional zone not being well understood. This research proposes the development of a robust methodology to integrate predictive mathematical models into commercial CAD/CAM software, enhancing the precision of ball-end milling of free-form geometries. The project will focus on understanding the cutting phenomena, particularly the transition between shearing and ploughing, and implementing cutter workpiece engagement (CWE), and the cutting forces within the CAM software environment for finishing operations with ball-end mills. The expected outcomes include new insights into the milling process, a robust methodology for modelling outputs, and the development of an API capable of predicting machining outcomes. This will provide tools for improving programming efficiency, reducing waste, and aligning with sustainability goals, thereby enhancing the academic understanding of the process and the competitiveness of the industry.
