user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Pathways, Ages, Generation in Global North and South'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The PAGENS (Pathways, Ages, Generations in the Global North and South) project is at the forefront of life course research, combining interdisciplinary approaches and international comparisons. It aims to gain a better understanding of how age categories and individual trajectories are shaped by socio-economic, demographic and cultural transformations, in Europe as well as in Africa and South America. The project brings together 22 partners from ten different countries: Colombia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Burkina Faso, Togo, Canada Finland, France and Italy. A major challenge: redefining the ages of lifeFacing global changes - population ageing, increasing mobility, job insecurity, climate change - PAGENS proposes an innovative reading of life transitions, incorporating perspectives from the Global South that are often under-represented. Far from standardised models inspired by the North, the project analyses how individuals navigate between ages, statuses and social roles in a variety of contexts. An innovative and inclusive methodologyPAGENS brings together a team of researchers in anthropology, sociology, psychology, history, lawyers, literature, and geography, working in synergy with civil society actors and public institutions.

user: Describe how 'MODULAR ELECTRICAL GENERATOR PTO SYSTEM FOR WAVE  - MEGA PTO WAVE' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The world faces the challenges of transitioning to net zero emissions to combat climate change, requiring a shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, like wave energy. Yet, the integration of wave energy into the global energy mix is not without hurdles. Harnessing the power of ocean waves requires innovative and reliable technologies that can withstand the harsh marine environment while ensuring consistent energy generation. Moreover, the pursuit of sustainable energy production extends beyond emissions reduction, to embrace circular economies. Circular economies advocate for a holistic approach where resources are continually reused, repurposed, and recycled, thus minimising waste and maximising resource efficiency. For the wave energy sector, this means not only developing efficient power take-off systems but also considering the lifecycle impacts of materials, manufacturing, installation, operation, and decommissioning. The MEGA PTO Wave project aims to provide an enabling technology to transform ocean waves into clean, reliable energy. Through this project, a smart, scalable system will be created that adapts to changing conditions and keeps working even if a part of the system experiences a fault. By designing all aspects of the MEGA PTO to be highly modular, incorporating novel axial flux magnetic gear, electrical generator technology and adaptable power electronics, the project will make energy production more efficient and eco-friendly. This modularity creates a system that is easier to manufacture, transport, install, maintain, remove and recycle, than alternatives. The MEGA PTO Wave project brings together expertise from all over the EU to create a PTO linked to sustainable supply chains, to accelerate wave energy commercialisation to capture vast

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Towards a theory of endings in innovation studies'.

assistant: **Concept**

Because innovations are important to achieve sustainable development, substantial investments have been made in innovation research. Yet, innovations often prove insufficient for replacing established production and consumption practices. In ENDINGS, I argue that we need to overcome this innovation bias by studying how existing socio-technical systems and their respective knowledge bases end – or not. In fact, evidence suggests that it is more likely for existing systems to endure than to disappear. Still, we have a rather limited understanding of how decline and de-institutionalization unfold. This is an important research gap in several disciplines that needs to be addressed to tackle the transformations needed to achieve a more sustainable society. Combining theoretical insights from innovation and organization studies in a novel way, I will study the epistemic motors of industries by developing an analytical framework that 1) introduces a knowledge-based conceptualization of socio-technical systems; 2) differentiates between different kinds of knowledge and their prevalence in certain industries; 3) specifies the ways in which knowledge is maintained and reproduced; 4) identifies the mechanisms that lead to the erosion and extinction of knowledge; 5) substantiates endings as a precondition for innovation and systemic change. To apply this framework, I will re-formulate the method of ‘innovation biographies’ by adding the phases of erosion and extinction to the knowledge life cycle and pioneer its application in comparative cross-case analyses of three industries (energy, ICT, craft) in three geographical contexts (Germany, UK, Sweden). Based on the findings, I will formulate an original, interdisciplinary theory of endings that understands innovation as only one par

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Threat to european maize production by invasive quarantine pest, western corn rootworm (diabrotica virgifera virgifera): a new sustainable crop management approach.' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Key processes enabling the recently introduced quarintine pest of maize, the Western Corn Rootworm (WCR) to invade central parts of Europe and possibilities to control this pest species will be examined by seven partners. Each of the partners offers expertise in crop management, plant-insect interactions, natural enemy evaluation, risk management and biotechnological control methods. The development of a practical approach for the management of this new insect pest species is urgent, because of continual invasion and its potential establishment in Italy confirms theories that WCR will threaten maize production areas in other EU member countries in Central Europe in the immediate future. By combining work on the ecology of WCR with work on applied aspects of maize production we will be able to develop and establish a safe and environmental friendly crop management practice adapted to specific maize production systems in Europe.The nutritional ecology of WCR has been evaluated in detail. Although this species is regarded as a specialist feeding on corn, several additional plants have been detected as additional food sources for adult and larval feeding. Especially grass species will enable WCR to persist in areas at low population densities even if corn is not cultivated. Founder populations may thus colonise new areas much faster than expected from calculations taking into account corn growing areas alone. Transgenic corn varieties, expressing the Bt-toxin Cry1Ab do not impact larval development compared to other European corn cultivars. However, differences in feeding efficiency in common European cultivars may be used as a starting point for partial resistance or tolerance breeding programs against WCR. Alighting and egg laying behaviour of WCR females is stimulated by

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'The Foundation of Organization Design' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Organization design refers to choices about the formal structure of organizations. While the study of organization design is not new, it is not current either. This proposal describes a series of theory development projects I aim to undertake over the next three years towards strengthening the foundations of organization design as an area of academic enquiry. The projects focus on a) interactions between incentive and coordination mechanisms b) an improved representation and framework for studying interdependence within and between organizations and c) the role of structure as a substitute for shared understanding. I draw on state of the art methodologies, which include computer simulation, statistical analysis, analytical modelling and lab experiments. Each project describes an overall theme rather than a specific study- I expect each project to eventually generate multiple publishable papers, and possibly provide a dissertation context for one or more PhD students. Given the emphasis on theory development in these projects, the primary support I need from ERC is for bought-out time and research assistance.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Development, characterisation and validation of new and original models for Alzheimer's Disease'' (MEMORIES) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive loss of cognition and memory function, and is defined pathologically by the deposition of amyloid peptide and neurofibrillary tangles and by a marked cortical cholinergic depletion. In the sporadic form of AD, multiple mechanisms can lead the formation of tangles and plaques. Aim: The MEMORIES hypothesis driven project gathers together 8 partners from 5 different countries towards the aim of developing, characterising and validating new animal models that have a real potential for becoming a gold standard in the AD field. Background/rationale: AD is a complex neurodegeneration possibly determined by multiple molecular mechanisms. One recent finding demonstrated that it can be linked to an unbalanced signaling and processing of the pro-NGF/NGF and pro-BDNF/BDNF signalling pathways. Moreover, the involvement of SorLA, a member of a novel family of vacuolar protein sorting 10 protein (Vps10p)-domain receptors, in APP processing and trafficking has been recently suggested. On the basis of these molecular mechanisms, new mouse models will be created. Description: towards the MEMORIES aim, a panel of mouse models will be, using a multidisciplinary approach, produced and analyzed for the presence of neurodegeneration. These mice will express specific antibodies neutralizing TrkA receptors or mutated form of pro-NGF. AD11 anti-NGF, which already represent a good model for sporadic AD, will be crossed to mice in which the human APP or Tau are over-expressed or to mice in which pro-convertases or the TrkB or SorLA receptors are knocked-out. Mice will be analyzed using standardized for neuroanatomy and behavioural analysis. Anticipated output: We anticipate that by blocking different signaling pathways will help in amelior

user: Describe how 'ARtificial IntelliGence toOl for enviroNmental impact Assessment of bio-based prodUcTs' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The main objective of ARGONAUT is to develop an effective and easily accessible AI digital tool that accurately calculates the environmental and climate impact from bio-based products across the entire value chain (from cradle to grave) using language models from global literature based on LCA principles and allows for easy and secure tracking through a digital passport based on blockchain technology. This tool will also include a decision support tool that uses this data to map out different alternatives for the value chain and their environmental impact thereby facilitating better and more sustainable decision making. ARGONAUT will contribute to the integration of key emerging digital technologies (AI and blockchain) and an environmental assessment methodology (LCA) to create a reliable tool able to assist small and medium-sized producers to navigate the complex bio-product landscape with enough relevant information, security guarantees regarding the privacy of their data and in a user-friendly way capable of closing knowledge gaps and thereby of reaching to a wider range of producers. ARGONAUT will contribute to the implementation of the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and allow for an accurate depiction of the environmental impact of such bio-based products thereby supporting the development of more sustainable value chains and the transition to a circular bioeconomy across the EU.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'CHronic exposure scenarios driving enviRONmental rIsks of Chemicals'.

assistant: **Objectives**

CHRONIC aims at delivering a cohort of highly-skilled and informed future research leaders trained in understanding andintegrating, into risk-assessment practice, the long-term, low-dose chronic chemical exposure and their interactions withother environmental stressors. CHRONIC research will support improved decision-making in risk assessment based onuncertain and potentially conflicting information, and in the development of scientifically-based monitoring strategies. Thefocus on low chronic exposure to contaminants in different environmental organisms (macrophytes, invertebrates,vertebrates) and end-of-line systems (freshwater, sediment, soil) allow for a training that is broader than that achieved fromconventional narrower one-system concept generally included in PhD-programmes and in standard protection goals. Thus,CHRONIC represents a paradigm shift in ERA methods and practices needed to deal with current and future contaminantchallenges. CHRONIC will include 13 PhD projects aimed at developing tools and approaches to identify relevant nonstandardmodes of toxicity for low chronic chemical exposure and integrate these with environmental stressors. CHRONICincludes academic institutions, research centres, government institutions, SMEs, and an NGO all with extensive experiencein education and training and a high state-of-the-art scientific and technical expertise and infrastructure. The program willtherefore lay the basis for an integrated approach to environmental risk assessment that includes non-standard yetecologically relevant endpoints and low chronic exposure as key elements. CHRONIC include training-by-research, jointcourses covering technical, scientific, ethical, and transferable skills. Students will also engage actively in communication toscientific and pub

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Role of stress-induced modulation of B cell function in cardiovascular disease'.

assistant: **Concept**

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. While psychological stress is a known cardiovascular risk factor, the mechanism by which the brain translates stress into CVD is poorly understood. The underlying cause of CVD is a chronic inflammatory disease called atherosclerosis, the progression and exacerbation of which have been strongly associated with the immune system, including B cells. B cells perform many functions including production of antibodies that provide immunity against disease and cytokines that modulate leukocyte function. However, it remains unknown whether B cells mediate the effects of stress on CVD. Recent studies from Prof. Filip Swirski’s lab show that stress profoundly affects the number and distribution of B cells in the body via a mechanism dependent on the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. In this proposal, I will test the hypothesis that stress aggravates atherosclerosis by modulating B cell function. To recapitulate stress, I will employ a combination of optogenetic and chemogenetic approaches available in the Swirski lab to target specific regions in the brain and characterize the subsequent impact on the phenotype and functional diversity of B cells. I will then identify the B cell-specific mechanisms that mediate the effects of stress on the progression of CVD in Prof. Christoph Binder’s lab, thus facilitating the transfer of knowledge between USA and Europe. With the combined complementary expertise of the two labs, this project will be the first demonstration of the use of state-of-the-art neurological tools to address cardio-immunological questions with a systems biological approach. This approach will not only delineate potential therapeutic targets for immunomodulation of B
