user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Control of Energy by Advanced Artificial Materials' (CREAM).

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of the present project is to control the energy carried out by mechanical and electromagnetic waves by means of a new type of advanced artificial structures. To achieve this control resonant cavities for the simultaneous localization of elastic and electromagnetic waves will bedeveloped. The mentioned structures will be based on artificial anisotropic and inhomogeneous materials, designed by properly engineered periodic arrangements of scattering units.The project aims to exploit the unusual properties of these complex structures for the localization of the energy carried out by mechanical and electromagnetic waves, offering in this way a new insight to the field of artificial materials (metamaterials), where less attention has been given to the problem of localization of waves, since it has focused efforts in the extraordinary propagation characteristics of waves along them (negative refraction, cloaking, transformation acoustics and electromagnetics, etc.).The objectives of the project will be accomplished by the deep understanding of a new type of structures: Radial Wave Crystals (RWC), a special type of sonic and photonic crystals which present cylindrical or spherical symmetries.It is well known that cylindrical shells of RWC present extraordinary resonant properties. However, their study has been slow given the difficulties found in their physical realization. In this proposal this feasibility will be explored, and also less restrictive versions of RWC will be seek, but trying to keep their extraordinary properties.Finally, based on RWC a new type of optomechanical cavities will be investigated, by studying the electromagnetic and mechanical properties of these structures embedded in finite substrates.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Glycan-coated Protein(oid) Nanocarriers for the Delivery and Controlled Release  of Anticancer Agents'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the EU and worldwide. Chemotherapy has high risks and severe side effects due to the poor bioavailability of anticancer drugs. The inefficiency of current formulation vehicles necessitates better carrier systems. Proteins, as non-toxic, biodegradable natural polymers capable of self-assembly, seem especially promising as nanocarriers to encapsulate anticancer agents. Plasma-derived protein excipients are expensive and increase the risk of infection. The use of plant proteins, however, is limited by their immunogenicity.The main ambition of PRONACORE is to develop new, safe and sustainable, glycan-coated protein(oid) nanocarriers with reduced immunogenicity for the oral, subcutaneous, and intravenous delivery of poorly soluble anticancer agents. By a top-down approach, core-shell type corn protein hydrolysate-pectin nanocarriers will be developed, demonstrating also a high-value route for the valorisation of sugar beet pectin. In parallel, we apply a bottom-up approach to design and synthesize glycosylated proteinoid nanocarriers, tailored to the cargo compound by the careful selection of building blocks assisted by molecular dynamics tools. IP protection will be sought for the methods invented. The feasibility of the developed nanocarriers for parenteral delivery will be determined. Our study on self-assembly and the factors determining the immunogenicity of protein(oid) nanocarriers will be made widely available to the scientific community, end-users, and the public.The concept builds on Researcher’s previous experience, incorporates new elements, and creates the opportunity to initiate further research and innovation. He intends to remain active in this field beyond the scope of the MSCA fellowship to set up his own research group

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Integrated pyrolisis and thermal cracking technology to revolutionise the MSW treatment market' (Pirocrack).

assistant: **Concept**

Waste disposal is one of the biggest problems that the world is facing. Increasing population, urbanization and industrialization are accelerating drastically the generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Landfilling is the usual method but is the least recommended option since they release GHG, contaminates the soil and ground water, produces unpleasant odours and spread pathogenic microorganisms. Recycling is unable to deal with the huge amount of garbage produced. Mass-burn incineration eliminates waste but emits highly dangerous dioxins and furans creating major social opposition. Composting is limited to large fractions of organic waste and is very odorous. Most of the gasification plants that started to operate have shut down failing to provide a solution to the problem. New clean and cost-efficient technologies to dispose this huge amount of garbage are urgently needed. PYROCRACK uses a patented Pyrolysis process to treat MSW obtaining a mixture of liquids, gases and solids with high energy content and a novel Thermal Cracking process that improves the quality of this mixture. Pyrolysis decomposes waste without using O2 which avoids pollutant emissions. Thanks to its endothermic feature it transforms waste into high value products that can be commercialised in the industry making of PYROCRACK a flagship of the Circular Economy. Pyrolysis has been known for centuries but now it is the focus of the MSW treatment business because of the inability of the existing techniques to respond to the ever-growing generation of garbage. Our approach is disruptive since we will treat MSW in a distributed manner through profitable and clean small/medium plants located closer to households and businesses to transform the content of waste into usable products (biochar, syngas and

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Pluripotency associated genes to de-differentiate neural cells into pluripotent cells' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

A first step to regenerative medicine is to find a means to cause controlled de-differentiation of adult tissue. Plurigenes aims at achieving major breakthroughs in the discovery and understanding of the function of genes controlling pluripotency in the central nervous system. These later could enable the de-differentiation of terminally differentiated neural cells into pluripotent cells through transgenesis, a goal that fully meets the requirements of LSH-2004-1.1.0-1. Plurigenes will start by identifying candidate genes in model organisms, following original approaches involving screens performed by in situ hybridations on well characterised neural structures or by gain of function analysis. As pointed out in LSH-2004-1.1.0-1, innovative technologies of transgenesis and imaging in several model organisms will be settled to reach this goal. The project will first characterise in vitro and in vivo the functions of candidate genes involved in the maintenance of pluripotency. On selected genes, it will then validate the possibility to restore the pluripotency of terminally differentiated cells through transgenesis of the candidate genes. Finally, Plurigenes will identify molecular partners and related pathways associated with pluripotency. The project will result in the identification of evolutionarily conserved genes associated with cellular pluripotency; improved methods for transgenesis in fish and ascidians and innovative methods for cell imaging and finally, protocols for the de-differentiation of neural cells.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Independent Smart Machine-Vision Based Cargo Counting Module' (MARVIN) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Alekon Cargo will develop and commercialize a fully automatic, high accuracy machine vision based scanner for handling and counting of neo-bulk cargo. Today, manual counting and loading of cargo is one of the biggest bottlenecks in European and global logistics chains. Besides time-consuming process, the manual method requires a lot of workforce and is prone to human errors. Each error in logistics business leads to incorrect documentation, delays in customs, fines and unsatisfied customers. Therefore, in order to increase the accuracy and cargo processing time, Alekon will introduce a totally independent, configurable and low-cost solution for cargo operating businesses like logistics hubs, postal services, large manufacturing units, warehouses, rail and road transport hubs, etc. Alekon together with its scientific partner Tallinn University of Technology has developed a machine vision based scanner system that has multiple benefits compared to current warehouse automation systems. Machine vision based solution has very high accuracy and does not depend on additional labeling (barcode) or sensors (RFID) that need investments and arrangement within the whole logistics chain. Alekon has already established a large sales network in EU and globally as the company has more than 20-years of experience in logistics, crane equipment sales and other warehouse management operations. Alekon´s innovative solution has confirmed global market potential and great improvement potential over time. The machine vision based Cargo Counter has very short profitability period as the potential savings from one device may increase up to €200 000 in a year for the end-users. Besides direct economic benefits, the CargoCounter improves workplace safety in logistics sectors reducing the need for

user: Describe how 'Empowering Diverse Food-Climate Experiments for Sustainability in European Cities' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

In a world increasingly shaped by climate change, ensuring urban food security while respecting ecological limits is an urgent challenge. Cities across Europe are responding through diverse urban experiments at the intersection of food security, climate mitigation, and adaptation. Also, initiatives such as the EU Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy, and various city networks call for strengthening the relation between food systems and climate action. Despite the relevance of these initiatives and the transformative potential of place-based experiments, urban sustainability literature has remained nearly silent about the climate-food nexus as a critical arena where sustainability strategies are negotiated and progress towards the ‘climate-connected city’ is evaluated. Addressing this gap, the proposed project will produce new insights on: (a) types of food-climate experiments emerging around Europe; (b) advancements and barriers in linking food and climate actions through place-based initiatives; (c) monitoring and governance frameworks supporting an integrated sustainability agenda.The research design employs an interdisciplinary conceptual and methodological approach, integrating diverse urban and ecological theories to guide a large-N survey of urban experiments across Europe, alongside an explorative analysis of three European cities to refine both conceptual and practical insights. Impact within and beyond academia will be ensured by involving key scholars, practitioners and climate-food city networks in research and participative activities. To implement this project, the Fellow will employ her expertise in urban food governance while expanding into broader urban ecological debates. Grounded in a sound partnership between leading European institutions on urban fo

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'NEW BIOCOATING FOR CORROSION INHIBITION IN METAL SURFACES' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The annual direct cost of corrosion estimated worldwide exceeds €1.32 trillion, which means approximately between 3 to 4% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of industrialized countries. Among the different types of corrosion Microbial Influenced Corrosion (MIC) caused by fouling is estimated to be involved in at least 10% of the corrosion problems of structures reaching to 50% in the case of subterranean pipes. Existing antifouling solutions include biocides and solutions not environmentally friendly. Latest research has begun to focus on greener replacements, but up to now, with low environmental performance and durability ratios. This fact has caused an urgent demand for greener, non-toxic or low-toxicity (green Anti-Fouling agents) and longer lasting antifouling compounds and technologies. The main objective of the project is the development of an innovative biomimetic and eco-efficient environmental technology for inhibiting microbial induced corrosion (MIC) produced by biofouling through the integration of microorganisms in a sol-gel coating for metal surfaces of civil engineering structures in marine and terrestrial environments. The potential economic impact of the technology developed in the project could mean approximately 612 billion € in direct cost.The general objectives are expected to be achieved through the following WPs:WP1: Microorganisms and inhibitors to be included in the sol-gel matrixWP2: Synthesis of a sol-gel enriched matrix for corrosion inhibitionWP3: Environmental aspects of the biomimetic developed coatingWP4: DemonstrationWP5: DisseminationWP6: Business models and ExploitationWP7: Project Management

user: Describe how 'Understanding Europe’s Fashion Data Universe' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The primary goal of each retailer is to “understand your customers”. Our interviews with retailers show a primary demand from the retail industry for predicting a customer's next demand. Surprisingly , even a complete record of past purchases (and returns) is not sufficient to understand how items in a company's catalog do or do not connect with the customer's general tastes, lifestyle and aspirations. Moverover, from a business perspective, any efficiency gains in the logistics of supplier management, shipping and handling are  rather minor, compared to the gains one could obtain from a better understanding of the customers’ personalities and habits. Given that the customer demands trigger proactive stocking and fashion production, this appears as a logical consequence. In this project, we want to consolidate and extend existing European technologies in the area of database management, data mining, machine learning, image processing, information retrieval, and crowdsourcing to strengthen the positions of European fashion retailers among their world-wide competitors. Our choice for the fashion sector is a concise one: i) as a multi-billion euro industry, the fashion sector is extremely important for the European economy; ii) Europe already has a solid position in the world fashion stage, however, to maintain its position and keep up with the competitors, European fashion industry needs the help of advanced technology; and iii) European fashion industry provides an excellent exercise for new technologies, because it is a multi-sectorial by itself (i.e., imposes challenging data integration issues), it has a short life-cycle (i.e., requires timely reaction to the current events) and it involves diverse languages and cultures.The main outcome of the FashionBrain project is

user: Describe how 'Liver Titanium Dioxide Toxicology: Investigating the Mechanisms of Liver Toxicity Induced by the Food Additive E171 (Titanium Dioxide, TiO2) Using In Vitro, In Vivo, and In Silico Approaches' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The oral intake of the food additive E171 (titanium dioxide, TiO2 nanoparticles) has raised significant public health concerns due to its potential adverse health effects. It was recently banned in the European Union after a reassessment by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) due to genotoxicity risks. However, it is still widely used in many countries, and the mechanisms underlying E171's toxicity, particularly its effects on the liver, remain poorly understood. The LiTiTox project aims to address this by investigating the molecular mechanisms of E171-induced liver toxicity, focusing on inflammation, cell death, and the role of pannexin1 (Panx1) channels, which are crucial for inflammasome activation but remain unexplored in this context. LiTiTox will employ a multidisciplinary approach, combining advanced in vitro liver spheroid co-culture models, in vivo mouse studies, and in silico molecular simulations. Liver spheroid models will simulate human liver responses to TiO2 exposure, while in vivo mouse studies will explore the effects of oral E171 exposure on liver toxicity. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations, conducted during the secondment, will predict interactions between E171 TiO2 and liver toxicity-related molecular events (MIEs). The project will also equip the researcher with advanced skills in in vitro toxicology, experimental hepatology, molecular biology, and computational modelling, enhancing career development and leadership in scientific research. The secondment will provide specialised training in chemoinformatics, machine learning, and predictive toxicology. Ultimately, LiTiTox’s findings will offer a deeper understanding of how E171 TiO2 nanoparticles affect liver health, contributing to the development of global regulatory policies. LiTiT

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Turning waste from steel industry into a valuable low cost feedstock for energy intensive industry' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The RESLAG project proposal is aligned with the challenges outlined in the call WASTE-1-2014: Moving towards a circular economy through industrial symbiosis. In 2010, the European steel industry generated, as waste, about 21.8 Mt of steel slag. The 76 % of the slag was recycled in applications such as aggregates for construction or road materials, but these sectors were unable to absorb the total amount of produced slag. The remaining 24 % was landfilled (2.9 Mt) or self-stored (2.3 Mt). The landfilled slag represents a severe environmental problem. The main aim of RESLAG is to prove that there are industrial sectors able to make an effective use of the 2.9 Mt/y of landfilled slag, if properly supported by the right technologies. In making this prof, the RESLAG project will also prove that there are other very important environmental benefits coming from an “active” use of the slag in industrial processes, as CO2 saving (up to 970 kt/y from CSP applications, at least 71 kg/ton of produced steel from heat recovery applications), and elimination of negative impacts associated with mining (from the recovery of valuable metals and from the production of ceramic materials).To achieve this ambitious goal four large-scale demonstrations to recycle steel slag are considered: Extraction of non-ferrous high added metals; TES for heat recovery applications; TES to increase dispatchability of the CSP plant electricity; Production of innovative refractory ceramic compounds. Overall, the RESLAG project aims at an innovative organizational steel by-products management model able to reach high levels of resource and energy efficiency, which considers a cascade of upgrading processes and a life cycle perspective.All these demonstrations will be lead by the industries involved in the RES
