user: Explain how 'Entanglement-Assisted Thermoelectric Transport in Quantum Systems' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

In the proposed project ""Entanglement-Assisted Thermoelectric Transport in Quantum Systems"" (EATTS), the European Researcher Dr. Nahual Sobrino, together with Prof. Rosario Fazio at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), will collaborate with international research groups to unveil innovative thermoelectric properties that hold transformative potential for sustainable energy technologies, quantum information science, and the development of advanced quantum materials. The project's objectives will concentrate on the exploration of thermoelectric phenomena mediated by entangled electrons across a variety of quantum systems. A comprehensive theoretical and computational framework will be established to explore and enhance thermoelectric performance in systems where electron entanglement plays a pivotal role. Cutting-edge calculations will be performed using sophisticated theoretical frameworks, including Quantum Master Equations (QME), Hierarchical Equation of Motion (HEOM), and quantum information techniques. This will guide to elucidate the intricate relationship between entanglement, system-environment interactions, and thermoelectric performance in Double Quantum Dots (DQD) and Cooper Pair Splitters (CPS) systems. Moreover, the project aims to extend the scope of Density Functional Theory (DFT) to access to entanglement measures in transport scenarios through the development of extensions of iq-DFT. This will facilitate a more efficient computational description of thermoelectric phenomena under the influence of entangled electrons. Additionally, the thermoelectric and entanglement characteristics of multiple diatomic molecules will be investigated by mapping the system into effective Hamiltonian models. The computational framework developed will ad

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Ultrahigh-throughput protein evolution for polyethylene biodegradation' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Innovation**

The build-up of plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental concerns. Polyethylene (PE), the most abundantly produced plastic polymer, can persist in nature for over a century. The microbial biodegradation of PE that has been observed is slow and inefficient. So far no effort has been undertaken to improve the efficiency of enzymes involved in the biodegradation of PE through directed protein evolution. Standard assays for measuring degradation rates are not sufficiently high-throughput to cover the sequence space required. I propose to use state-of-the-art protein evolution technology to overcome this problem in two ways. First, an ultrahigh-throughput microfluidics based approach, that can associate a given genotype with its phenotype in picoliter sized water-in-oil droplets, will be used to isolate the desired genotypes from a random mutagenesis library. Second, a novel assay for measuring polymer concentration within each droplet based on differential light scattering as the polymer is degraded will assay the PE degradation rate for a given enzyme. These techniques were developed in the research group of the proposed host, Dr. Hollfelder in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge. Using these techniques, I will functionally express and evolutionarily optimise a range of PE degrading enzymes in genetically tractable host strains, creating a chassis to investigate the potential of microbial biodegradation as a solution to plastic waste. Secondments at the EBI, UCL and the SME Drop-Tech will convey practical skills in bioinformatics screens and droplet formation.  The host group’s experience in enzyme biotechnology and directed protein evolution as well as its extensive modern facilities for microfluidics, next generation sequencin

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Connecting Resonances: A decolonial intervention into Sound Studies by listening to the Global South' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

The proposed project intends to create a fertile entry point into the history, practice and aesthetics of sound media in South Asia as a key area of the Global South, aiming to understand the unique auditory cultures and sonic sensibility of this under-explored area in the light of the transcultural confluence between Global North and South. Such new knowledge fundamentally shifts the perspectives in sound studies and in a global media art history with a decolonial approach of co-listening and exploring medial reciprocity. Mentored by leading sound scholar and theorist Prof. Brandon LaBelle at the University of Bergen, and working with other institutional partners in Norway and internationally, the project re-examines a fundamental issue in the studies of modernity and globalisation concerned with media cultural encounters and technological transmissions between Global North and South as a two-way process of postcolonial confluence. The project is a first of its kind to research an ignored area of sound studies by putting South Asian sound and media scholars, artists and practitioners on the international platform, making their work exposed to the wider global audience for a much-needed critical engagement and equity in scholarship. The project benefits the large pool of practitioners active in South Asia, whose work has often been neglected in the Eurocentric field of critical media studies and media art history. The project makes a sustained attempt to assess their work toward a new decolonial theory of sound media in the form of a book and other outputs, aiming to address a number of critical issues in sound studies.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Optimising the policy mix by the development of a common methodology for the assessment of (socio-) economic impacts of RTDI public funding' (CIA4OPM).

assistant: **Concept**

The project will establish a network of policy actors with the goal of exchanging information and learning from each other on national activities with respect to the assessment of (socio-) economic impacts of public funding (policies and instruments) of Research, Technological Development and Innovation (RTDI) in the areas of (i) enhancement of private R&D investment; (ii) improved cooperation between public research institutes and private enterprises; and (iii) improved management of research institutions and universities. The project will develop better harmonised (amongst Member States/ regions) methodologies (toolbox/manual) for the alignment/coordination of impact assessment of public RTDI funding, and will assess the usefulness of impact assessment tools in the development of an appropriate policy mix.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Nanoscale phase evolution in lithium-sulfur batteries' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered a strategic candidate to achieve both significantly higher energy storage and better sustainability than current Lithium-ion batteries. They operate by converting sulfur into lithium sulfide and back on discharge/charge. However, practically achieved energies are far from theoretical values due to difficulties to load sulfur in high areal and volume density in the porous carbon cathode and to fully use it electrochemically. Current experimental techniques are strong in aspects, but fail to combine the required coverage of length scales ranging from sub-nanometers to micrometers in the crucial real-time in situ fashion. NanoEvolution aims to i) identify nanoscale structure-transport-performance correlations, ii) understand capacity limitations and reaction mechanisms, and iii) derive design criteria for improved Li-S battery performance. To achieve these goals, structure-sensitive in situ scattering and imaging methods during electrochemically operating custom-built in situ Li-S cells will be implemented. Specifically, in situ small and wide angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS) will be established and synergistically combined with nanoscale phase evolution modelling for data analysis. In situ nanoscale X-ray tomography will be realized to achieve continuous structural sensitivity from (sub-)nanometer (SWAXS) to sub-micrometer scales (tomography). The novel combination of modelling and structure-sensitive in situ experiments allows real-time detection of the Li2S/sulfur morphology and location within the nanoporous carbon electrode during charge and discharge, at length scales so far not accessible to other methods. This allows to determine the final cause for capacity limitation (mass transport vs. charge transport), ii) elucidate

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Integrating energy systems and supply chain optimisation for sustainable development: Decentralised, Energy-Leveraging Transformation of African Development (DELTADev)'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This project has three core objectives:(1) It aims to place energy systems design within the context of broader sustainable development (SD). Many of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are known to be closely linked to energy. This project is the first to translate this nexus into a comprehensive multi-objective optimisation framework, which explicitly considers various SDG targets as objectives when planning energy systems.(2) It intends to integrate energy systems and supply chain optimisation in a common modelling environment. Motivated by inadequate conditions for economic development in low-income countries, this allows reaping synergies from energy-enabled productivity increases across agricultural and manufacturing supply chains.(3) Combining concepts (1) and (2), it aims to develop a bottom-up strategy for rural development, tailored to energy-deprived areas in Africa. It provides affordable and scalable electricity access to foster SD without relying on excessive amounts of external finance. A multi-objective optimisation model designs off-grid energy systems based on real-world examples by using the SDGs to define objective functions. Integrating electricity as an input for existing and new rural supply chains increases the value-add per kWh. This creates new revenue streams which, crucially, can cross-subsidise non-commercial electricity needs of SD to improve the quality of life for rural Africans while the system’s remains financial viability.The MSCA fellowship allows me to focus my interdisciplinary expertise on a core research theme of sustainable operations for development.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'The Islamic Intellectual Field and Political Theorizing in Turkey: Toward an Anthropology of Political Thought'.

assistant: **Concept**

The main aim of IslamPolTheory is to provide training-through-research toward the examination of the intellectual foundations of Islam-based political ideologies and movements that have become one of the main elements of politics throughout Europe and the world in the last two decades, by conducting an interdisciplinary study of the Islamic intellectual field in Turkey, through an examination of 20 leading non-academic periodicals specializing in political thought published since the 1990s. This field is a unique, rigorous, diverse field of political theorizing that brings together Turkish, Islamic and Western intellectual traditions, and themes ranging from politics and economics to philosophy. Based on conceptual and methodological training under the supervision Prof Thomas B. Hansen at Stanford University, this study will define and develop the anthropology of political thought as a new field of inquiry that not only applies to Turkey, but also to different countries where an intellectual field can be studied as a site of political theorizing in relation to its social, political and global context. This study will focus on the Islamic intellectual field in Turkey to locate different schools of thought established around periodicals along the Islamist-conservative divide through ethnographies of ideas and intellectuals. IslamPolTheory is designed as a career development project that will enable Dr. nar to make significant academic and policy-related contributions by launching a new subdiscipline and helping expand public awareness by bringing into light novel information on Islam-based political movements, identities and ideologies in Europe and the world. The new conceptual and methodological skills, knowledge and networks acquired at Stanford will be brought back, u

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'European-Japanese Virtual Coach for Smart Ageing'.

assistant: **Concept**

Background: Virtual coaching can play an important role in sustaining Active and Healthy Ageing (AHA) through early risk detection and tailored intervention in smart living environments. However, current technologies are not easily customized to individual needs, provide limited interaction, and are often intrusive. Aims and Relevance: Based on an excellent international cooperation between Europe and Japan, e-VITA proposes an innovative approach to virtual coaching that addresses the crucial domains of AHA: cognition, physical activity, mobility, mood, social interaction, leisure, and spirituality, thus empowering older adults to better manage their own health and daily activities, resulting in improved well-being and improved stakeholder collaboration. The e-VITA virtual coach will provide individualized profiling and personalized recommendations based on big data analytics and social-emotional computing beyond the state-of-the-art. Approach: The virtual coach will detect preventative potentials and risks in the user’s daily living environment by collecting data from external sources and non-intrusive sensors and will provide support through natural interactions with 3D-holograms, emotional objects, or robotic technologies using multimodal and spoken dialogue technology, advanced knowledge graph representations and data fusion. Interoperability and data privacy will be guaranteed using FIWARE and a federated data AI platform. Proof of concept: A support system will be provided to enable the elderly users to learn and use the virtual coaching system. The coaching system will be deployed and evaluated in the living environments of healthy older adults in France, Germany, Italy, and Japan to assess its feasibility and efficacy. The results of e-VITA include also new stan

user: Describe how 'Next generation decontamination: fast, effective, cheap and non-toxic' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Hospital acquired infections affect 1 in every 14 patients, a number that goes as high as 1 in every 5 patients when considering intensive care units. Delox has the potential to change that.Decontamination is performed using several different methods and technologies nowadays. The most relevant one is sterilization, which is an expensive procedure, typically only affordable for very large hospital in well developed countries or outsourced to a specialized firm. In the laboratory and health context the use of Formaldehyde is also still frequent – because it is price competitive – but it is toxic and far from perfect. The state-of-the-art technology is VHP (Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide) which is costly, expensive and energy intensive, as it requires heating Hydrogen Peroxide to 130oC. Our formulation – dryVHP – differs by needing to be heat up to only 60 oC to produce the same effect. It is also significantly cheaper.Delox will be initially brought to market for use in laboratory equipment (<2 m3) and then a more powerful and adjustable version will be launched to address the Hospital, clinics and food sectors.It is the business outcome of more than 6 years of research and it has the potential to disrupt the bio-decontamination and sterilization market, having gathered interest from several large stakeholders, and received awards and recognition. We have also already raised 371.8k€ from VC (300k), awards (10k), public startup vouchers (11k€) and the European Space Agency.Within this Phase 1 we will prepare the next steps of our development (technical and commercial) but also validate our technology by preparing pilots with relevant players to demonstrate in real environment and prepare robust case studies that will boost market acceptance.By bringing to the market a non-to

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Xenopus comparative genomics: coordinating integrated and comparative functional genomics for understanding normal and pathologic development' (X-OMICS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Elucidation of the function of the 25.000 genes in the human genome will he significantly accelerated by exploiting comparative genomic approaches in an integrative manner. The international community has or will soon have access to the complete genome seq uence of' several organisms, already validated as excellent experimental models of developmental biology. It is essential that European scientists rapidly co-ordinate an efficient interfacing in their strengths in comparative bioinformatics and functional genomic approaches. This synergy towards comparative functional gcnomics will be an inescapable component in the process of exploiting and dissecting gene regulation and function of human development and disease. Comparisons across several vertebrate and i nvertebrate systems allow us by bioinformatics analysis to rapidly identify thousands ofsequenced- conserved orthologous genes. The rationale is that orthologous genes with important biological roles will most likely have conserved functions in mammals, in cluding humans. The aim of the proposal is to organise the coordination of the research of several recognised European laboratories using the amphibian Xenopus as a model to identify vertebrate genes of medical and developmental interest. The ease of study ing gene expression and function in vivo in this model will facilitate the identification of conserved functions. To fulfil these goals, the consortium will increase the collaboration between these labs und coordinate the vertical" studies from m silico d efinition of orthologous genes (comparisons across all available genomic models) down to gene expression and function studies. Analyses of many genes by high throughput techniques will be followed by in depth analysis of gene sets selected for their import anc

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Using Density Functional Theory to Screen for New Catalysts for Fischer Tropsch Synthesis' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Fischer Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons from hydrogen and carbon monoxide is one of the most important industrial processes and despite being used for 70 years the detailed mechanisms are not quite understood, in particular regarding the selectivity of the catalysts. We intend to use density functional computer simulations in order to gain a detailed knowledge of the catalytic reaction and try and pinpoint important parameters determining the activity and more importantly the selectivity of current Fischer Tropsch catalysts. Using this knowledge we will try and screen for new highly selective catalyst materials, possibly also with improved properties such as better resistance to degradation in time and lower operating temperature. In collaboration with experimental groups we will try and synthesise the proposed materials and determine their catalytic activity and selectivity. By combining experimental data and calculations we hope to further improve the performance of the proposed catalyst materials.
