user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'A patient-friendly blood collection device that produces pure plasma samples for simple laboratory analysis' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Blood analysis is undoubtedly one of the most powerful medical diagnostic tools. In most cases, blood tests are often a part of regular check-up undertaken yearly to diagnose certain abnormal values, such as low haemoglobin or high/low sodium or potassium levels. In Europe tens of millions of blood tests are performed annually. Blood collection techniques have not significantly changed since 1950’s: venepuncture is the most routinely performed procedure and skilled healthcare professionals and complex procedures to attain adequate blood samples are still required. In addition to an outdated process, before the blood is tested, it needs to be precisely prepared for analysis. Most routine laboratory tests are performed on plasma, which is the liquid component of blood which contains dissolved proteins, glucose, clotting factors, mineral ions, hormones and drugs. However, the preparation of the blood plasma is a time consuming and costly process.HemaXis DX is a dried blood plasma spot device which uses microfluidics technology to collect and prepare accurate volume of controlled samples of plasma immediately ready to be analysed in laboratory allowing sample preparation directly at the point of collection. HemaXis DX allows the clinician/lab technician to collect the required drops of blood from the fingertip in a minimally invasive, fast and painless manner. Unlike the traditional venepuncture, this method of collecting blood does not result in any side effects. A simple finger prick is needed to extract a minimal amount of blood in single droplets in a matter of seconds.During the phase 1 project, a go-to-market strategy and a supply chain will be established, as well as further development plan will be drafted.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Concerted action for the evaluation of the environmental sustainability of agricultural systems in the Southern Cone of Latin America' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The general objective of this project is to improve the scientific capability to evaluate ex ante the environmental sustainability of agricultural systems.The specific objectives are as follows:* To define a detailed conceptual framework and methodological protocol to guide the comparison of different methods to measure and evaluate the sustainability of agricultural systems, across agroecosystems and socioeconomic environments.* To measure and evaluate the sustainability of selected agricultural systems in each country, using several qualitative and quantitative methodologies.* To compare the results obtained with each method in each agricultural system.* To disseminate the resulting methodologies and to support their integration into the regular programs of the participating institutions and other research organisations.Expected OutcomeThe environmental sustainability of agricultural systems representative of major ecoregions such as the Semi-Arid Tropics, the Low Humid Tropics, the Argentinean Pampas, the irrigated valleys of Temperate Mediterranean climate and the Andean highlands, will be evaluated. The work carried out in this project should result in a practical and cost-effective method to evaluate ex ante the environmental sustainability of improved agricultural systems. Although the work will be carried out in only a few countries, a wide range of ecosystems and socioeconomic environments will be represented, so that the results should be widely applicable. The resulting methods should help researchers and development and policy agencies, operationalise the concept of sustainable agricultural development.The key activities envisaged are:* Standardisation of existing data sets from Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru, according to a common conceptual and methodol

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Deep brain imaging of cellular mechanisms of sensory processing and learning'.

assistant: **Concept**

Learning and memory are the basis of our behaviour and mental well-being. Understanding the mechanisms of structural and cellular plasticity in defined neuronal circuits in vivo will be crucial to elucidate principles of circuit-specific memory formation and their relation to changes in neuronal ensemble dynamics. Structural plasticity studies were technically limited to cortex, excluding deep brain areas like the amygdala, and mainly focussed on the input site (dendritic spines), whilst the plasticity of the axon initial segment (AIS), a neuron’s site of output generation, was so far not studied in vivo. Length and location of the AIS are plastic and strongly affects a neurons spike output. However, it remains unknown if AIS plasticity regulates neuronal activity upon learning in vivo.We will combine viral expression of AIS live markers and genetically-encoded Ca2+-sensors with novel deep brain imaging techniques via gradient index (GRIN) lenses to investigate how AIS location and length are regulated upon associative learning in amygdala circuits in vivo. Two-photon time-lapse imaging of the AIS of amygdala neurons upon fear conditioning will help us to track learning-driven AIS location dynamics. Next, we will combine miniature microscope imaging of neuronal activity in freely moving animals with two-photon imaging to link AIS location, length and plasticity to the intrinsic activity as well as learning-related response plasticity of amygdala neurons during fear learning and extinction in vivo. Finally, we will test if AIS plasticity is a general cellular plasticity mechanisms in brain areas afferent to the amygdala, e.g. thalamus.Using a combination of two-photon and miniature microscopy imaging to map structural dynamics of defined neural circuits in the amygdala a

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Complex Media Investigation with Adaptive Optics' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Wave propagation in complex (disordered) media stretches our knowledge to the limit in many different fields of physics. It has important applications in seismology, acoustics, radar, and condensed matter. It is a problem of large fundamental interest, notably for the study of Anderson localization.In optics, it is of great importance in photonic devices, such as photonic crystals, plasmonic structures or random lasers. It is also at the heart of many biomedical-imaging issues: scattering ultimately limits the depth and resolution of all imaging techniques.We have recently demonstrated that wavefront shaping –i.e. adaptive optics applied to complex media- is the tool of choice to match and address the huge complexity of this problem in optics. The COMEDIA project aims at developing a novel wavefront shaping toolbox, addressing both spatial and spectral degrees of freedom of light. Thanks to this toolbox, we plan to fulfill the following objectives:1) A full spatiotemporal control of the optical field in a complex environment,2) Breakthrough results in imaging and nano-optics,3) Original answers to some of the most intriguing fundamental questions in mesoscopic physics.""

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Artificial Intelligence–Driven Materials Design for Spintronic Applications'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The steady increase in energy consumption per capita and the slow transition toward renewable energy sources is becoming a serious global problem, making energy efficiency paramount for new technologies.  Two-dimensional materials offer an encouraging path toward ultra-low-power electronics due to our capability to combine them into Van der Waal heterostructures with tailored quantum properties based on their constituents.  The spin-orbit torque (SOT) memories are technological prospects that consume a fraction of conventional memories' power. Still, they offer superior speed and storage capacity and were further improved when using 2D materials as building blocks instead of 3D metallic systems. Recently theoretical efforts demonstrated the existence of thousands of potentially synthesizable 2D materials, opening an exponentially larger pool to mine for optimized heterostructures which brute-force approaches cannot tackle. This project aims at developing artificial intelligence that will propose optimized Van der Waal heterostructures for spin-orbit torques. To this end, we will first construct an automatic material assessment (AUTOMATA) tool based on deep neural networks that will perform numerical modeling and quantum transport simulations autonomously to compute the spin-orbit torque efficiencies. In parallel, we will develop a computer-assisted structure (COMPASS) optimizer that will propose new systems for spin-orbit torques by using an evolutionary strategy. The AUTOMATA tool will rank the candidates generated by the COMPASS optimizer, and we will use those with superior performance to improve the COMPASS optimizer prediction. The successful combination of these tools will accelerate the development of technologies by automatizing the material selection phase thro

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Symbiomics: Molecular Ecology and Evolution of Bacterial Symbionts' (SYMBIOMICS).

assistant: **Innovation**

Symbiosis research is currently in the midst of a revolution as molecular techniques are leading to major breakthroughs in our understanding of interactions between animals and microbes. There is an emerging recognition that all animals are intimately associated with a complex community of beneficial microbes that are essential for their development, nutrition, and health. Thus, modern symbiosis research has become a newly emerging supra-disciplinary field with novel and innovative methods for examining microbial symbionts, the vast majority of which remain as yet uncultivable. As so often when novel technologies open up new areas of research, training for students lags behind. We propose to close this gap by offering a comprehensive and innovative training in the microbial ecology and evolution of animal symbionts. The proposed ITN Symbiomics will include 14 leading research groups as well as 4 top-tier participants from the private sector to provide 14 early stage researchers (ESRs) and 1 experienced research (ER) with an interdisciplinary and synergistic training. Cutting edge methods in molecular biology and image analysis will be used to analyze a broad range of hosts from protozoan and invertebrate animal groups. Symbiomics will provide training through a combination of local and network-wide activities that will include research, secondments, workshops and courses including soft skills training, networking and meetings, regular thesis committee meetings, and mentoring. By pooling the scientific, technological, and entrepreneurial expertise of the Symbiomics partners, this ITN will provide a synergistic research environment and training that extends far beyond what each partner would be able to offer with local training alone. At the end of their training, the ear

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Development of compact mode-locked laser oscillators' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Research and development of standard mode-locked laser oscillators is proposed. Combining the skills and possibilities of the participating partners like the experience in diode-pumping, in mode-locking by saturable absorber mirrors, in the growing of dispersion correcting mirrors, or in the innovative active-feedback technology to suppress undesired Q-switching, cheap and user-friendly pico- and femtosecond laser light sources for the near infrared shall be developed. The availability of standard, small and comfortably usable devices will open new markets for the laser itself and for application products based on these lasers. The exploratory phase will enable us to search for participating companies and to explore and write a phae-2-CRAFT proposal.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Biotechnological Remediation Innovation for preventing Decentralized wastewater treatment from impactful Gaseous Emissions' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Decentralized wastewater systems are widespread in EU and worldwide and generate significant socio-economic and public-health costs: methane (CH₄) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, odours, and residual nutrient discharges, all under higher per-capita O&M and scarce technical capacity. The BRIDGE project proposes a first-of-its-kind, low-resource biotech-based solution that leverages nitrite/nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (N-DAMO) mixed cultures to simultaneously abate gas- and liquid-phase contaminants generated by decentralized systems: CH₄ emission are repurposed as the electron donor to denitrify nitrate-bearing effluent, within a plug-and-play anaerobic biofilter with counter-current spraying, minimal electromechanical needs, and smart real-time monitoring for adaptive control and predictive maintenance. The project targets four state-of-the-art gaps: (1) stable N-DAMO biofilm enrichment; (2) a robust, validated unit (PoC→TRL 3–4) tolerant to influent variability; (3) integration pathways and design/operation envelopes for scalable, low-maintenance and affordable deployment; and (4) tailored sensing, analytics, and digital integration for autonomous operation. Methodologically, BRIDGE combines lab enrichment and functional testing, continuous-flow prototyping with long-term validation, multi-physical modelling across scales, Arduino-based monitoring with an ANN-assisted control layer, and techno-economic assessment to derive cost-effective scale-up guidelines. Outcomes include a validated blueprint and guidelines that reduce CH₄/VOC emissions, lower nutrient discharge, and support replication in related sectors (e.g., landfill leachate).

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Improving plant immunity by synthetic exploitation of the ubiquitin system'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Plants are continuously attacked by pathogens and pests, resulting globally in large agricultural losses and food insecurity at high economic cost. To counter infection, plants have developed sophisticated immune responses in which the post-translational modifier, ubiquitin, plays indispensable roles. Ubiquitination is a versatile protein modification that regulates the amplitude and intensity of immune responses, thereby establishing durable resistance. Substrate ubiquitination is performed by E3 ligases that act as matchmakers by recruiting specific substrates. Despite the essential roles of E3 ligases in plant immunity, it remains unclear how they achieve such extraordinary substrate selectivity and how they evolved to adapt to changing threats in their environment, including new pathogens. Conversely, pathogens have evolved effector proteins that hijack ubiquitin signalling to prevent immune activation, but the underpinning molecular mechanisms remain obscure.The SynUbL project will establish interactions between the major cereal crop, barley, and fungal pathogen, Puccinia hordei, as an economically relevant host-pathogen system for addressing these questions and to bioengineer durable resistance. By functionally tracking immune-induced E3 ligases along the evolutionary tree, we will reveal how these enzymes evolved structural features for specific substrate recognition. Simultaneously, we will expose P. hordei’s hijacking tactics, thereby uncovering the significance of ubiquitin in shaping the evolutionary arms race between host and pathogen. Collective insights are then utilised to synthetically engineer novel E3 ligases to allow on-demand activation of host immune pathways and on-demand destruction of immune-suppressing pathogen effectors. Hence, this project not

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Judges as Policy Makers? Law under the Lisbon Strategy 2020' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

While the focus of public discussion in Europe in recent years has been financial stability, recent attention has shifted to economic growth and competitiveness as a key way out of the crisis. These goals are a central part of the EU's overarching 'Lisbon Strategy'; a policy blue-print to be achieved by 2020.Little attention, however, has been paid to the role of law and Courts in achieving the strategy's goals. This project will address this deficit examining the role of the EU Courts in relation to the Lisbon strategy in 3 key policy fields: health, education and employment.The project will conduct case studies in each field, interviewing judicial and non judicial actors in order to examine both the existing role of EU law in implementing the strategy and the potential interaction between law and the Lisbon Strategy in the future. It will create recommendations on how the interaction between Courts and policy-makers should be structured, drawing on the results of a stakeholder workshop and disseminated through a final report. The report's recommendations and output will be designed to feed into the the Lisbon Strategy's mid-term review in 2015. The applicant will use good existing links to policy-makers and researchers through the host organization - the Hertie School of Governance - to disseminate the research results.Finally, the project can make a lasting impact on the researcher's career integration. As a non-tenured Professor, the research opportunities provided by the grant can give the applicant the opportunity to become better established in an academic system not normally open to international researchers. The project and researcher will furthermore benefit from the inter-disciplinary environment provided by the host, the Hertie School of Governance.
