user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Control for Safety-Constrained Interactive Systems' (CONCISE), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Interactive decision-making among multiple entities is critical in modern control systems, such as autonomous vehicle trajectory planning, resource coordination in smart power grids, and collaborative robotics. Safety constraints, including collision avoidance in autonomous vehicles and maintaining supply-demand balance in smart grids, are of paramount importance in these systems. However, ensuring safety remains a significant challenge due to its dependence on agents' coupled actions and stochasticities like unpredictable trajectories of road agents in autonomous driving and variable renewable energy outputs in smart grids.This research program proposes a framework for ensuring safety and performance for  multiagent stochastic dynamic games. Dynamic game theory provides a powerful foundation for addressing interactive decision-making problems. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, particularly in solving complex multiagent problems, have led to the development of scalable algorithms for such decision-making challenges. However, existing algorithms lack provable performance guarantees when applied to real-world systems with constraints, leaving a critical gap in the field.The proposed research program addresses this gap by developing a theoretical framework guided by real-world challenges. To achieve this, it proposes to  integrate recent breakthroughs in three fundamental fields of stochastic control, game theory and learning theory: safety assurance and control under partial information from stochastic control,  characterizing tractable classes of games and ensuring equilibrium efficiency  from game theory, and powerful function approximators with provable guarantees from learning theory. To bridge theory and practice, the program verifies the developed algorith

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Dynamics of DC-SIGN microdomains mediating recognition and uptake of viruses by dendritic cells' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the sentinels of the immune system. They are bone marrow-derived, phagocytic cells, located in tissues to patrol for foreign antigens and present them to T cells. DC-SIGN is a DC-specific C-type lectin involved in adhesion and in pathogen-recognition, interacting with carbohydrate structures in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Life-threatening viruses like HIV-1, Ebola, and Hepatitis C virus are recognized by DC-SIGN. By high-resolution electron microscopy (EM), the applicant showed that o n DC cell membrane DC-SIGN can exist in two forms: randomly distributed or in submicron-sized (200 nm diameter) microdomains. These microdomains were shown to reside in lipid rafts and to be required for efficient binding and uptake of virus. How DC-SIGN m icrodomains are formed is largely unknown. The aim of this proposal is to follow the dynamics of DC-SIGN microdomains in living cells with high spatial and temporal resolution. Two aspects will be investigated: formation and stability of DC-SIGN microdomai ns as well as microdomain-mediated internalization and routing of virus-like particles. Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is a powerful tool for imaging molecular activities of suitably labeled DC-SIGN molecules in living cells. Ligand-coated h ighly-photostable Quantum Dots are excellent fluorescent probes for monitoring endocytosis and vesicular trafficking mediated by DC-SIGN micro-domains. Currently, DCs are manipulated ex vivo for the development of anti-tumour and anti-virus therapies. Therefore, this project will provide relevant information for important health-care areas, such asi) development of C-type lectin-based vaccines against invading pathogens; ii) study of antigen-routing mechanisms in DC cross-presentation; and iii) development o f

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Bearing Witness in Wartime: The East India Company’s Soldiers in the Public Domain, 1764-1857'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Former U.S. Army analyst Chelsea Manning became notorious after releasing classified information to WikiLeaks in 2010. Manning’s 35-year prison sentence, commuted in 2017, provoked acrimonious debate not just about American military operations overseas, but about the extent to which values of transparency and accountability apply in the defence sector. Manning is the famous face of a larger trend, as new social media have enabled soldiers to publicize their experiences of combat environments through blogs, video clips, and leaks to the press. Soldiers’ revelations have elicited public and academic debate, but their impact remains unclear. My research provides a historical perspective to this question by refocusing attention on a period of global war and imperial expansion when modern ideals of open government first took shape. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, against the backdrop of an expanding print industry and growing demands for government accountability, the East India Company (EIC) became the dominant imperial power in the Indian Ocean world. EIC soldiers acted as vital witnesses to these events, writing letters to newspapers, authoring books and pamphlets, and providing testimony in parliament. By comparing soldiers’ statements with official narratives, and by tracing how soldiers’ statements were received by parliament, the public, and the EIC, this research will determine what impact soldiers had on contemporary debates about imperial operations. Fulfilling this research objective will enhance our understanding of public attitudes to empire as well as illuminating the changing relationship between military, government, and the public. Through this research I will achieve technical competence in computational methods and narrative analysis t

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Controlled metal-catalysed polymerisation of SO2-derived sources to high performance and recyclable materials' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The burn of sulphur-rich fossil fuels continues to produce sulphur dioxide as a polluting gas, with high risks to humans and the environment. In PolySO2, we aim to uncover new controlled routes to attain the direct metal-catalysed copolymerisation of sulphur dioxide and sulfone-derived sources in combination with carbon dioxide and other oxygenated monomers. Our goal is to open new sustainable platforms for making unconventional materials from renewable resources that are designed for high performance and recyclability. Moreover, our study of the reaction mechanism will improve our fundamental understanding of the polymerisation steps, which will lead to the design of better metal catalysts and reaction conditions. First, we will investigate the ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) and ring-opening alternating copolymerisation (ROCOP) of these previously unexplored monomer sources. These methods will provide with unprecedented strategies to introduce custom linkages (aliphatic and aromatic) in the main-chain of newly developed polymers: poly(sulfite)s, poly(sulfonate)s, poly(sulfonic ester)s and block copolymers. Secondly, we will seek the best depolymerising strategies of such linear chains in an effort to demonstrate full chemical recyclability. Finally, we will apply the newly developed polymeric materials in the construction of robust elastomers (via phase segregation) and resins (via crosslinking) as well as their thermo-mechanical analysis. This action will promote the return of Dr. Fernando Vidal to the European scientific arena after 8 years in the USA and his retention as an independent researcher in polymer chemistry. His planned work in the group of Prof. Charlotte Williams at the University of Oxford and collaboration with her network of industrial partners wil

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Ultra-high reslution pulse shaping: from communications to biophotonics applications' (ULTRA-PASION).

assistant: **Concept**

In the last decades, the generation of lasers delivering pulses with durations in the order of femtosecond has constituted an important research topic for the Physics and Engineering communities. The characteristics of this kind of radiation make it an indispensable tool in order to develop many applications in different fields of science and technology. Ultrafast laser technology is ready to offer real world applications ranging from high-tech, such us high-speed circuit testing and biological imaging, to more industrial applications like quality control. The markets that are already or will be influenced in the near future include industries as telecommunications, automotive, electronics, medical consumer goods, to name only a few. Up to now, most of the developed applications have succeeded thanks to the development in parallel of the femtosecond-pulse-shaping technology, which permits to synthesize in a user-defined fashion the intensity and phase temporal distribution of a short light pulse. If accepted, in this proposal the candidate will focus on developing applications for communications and biological imaging through ultra-high-resolution pulse shaping. The general objective of this proposal is the candidate to acquire expertise on the most advanced techniques for pulse shaping technology in order to transfer the knowledge to develop high-quality nonlinear microscopy in the European return host institution, i.e., the Optics research group leaded by Professor J. Lancis at the University of Jaume I, Spain. Generally speaking, the acquisition of the knowledge will be achieved through the development of new photonic applications particularly relevant in the Telecommunications sector, where the outgoing research institution –the Ultrafast Optics and Optical Fiber Co

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Policy-oriented marine Environmental Research in the Southern EUropean Seas'.

assistant: **Concept**

The overall scientific objectives of PERSEUS are to identify the interacting patterns of natural and human-derived pressures on the Mediterranean and Black Seas, assess their impact on marine ecosystems and, using the objectives and principles of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive as a vehicle, to design an effective and innovative research governance framework based on sound scientific knowledge. Well-coordinated scientific research and socio-economic analysis will be applied at a wide-ranging scale, from basin to coastal. The new knowledge will advance our understanding on the selection and application of the appropriate descriptors and indicators of the MSFD. New tools will be developed in order to evaluate the current environmental status, by way of combining monitoring and modelling capabilities and existing observational systems will be upgraded and extended. Moreover, PERSEUS will develop a concept of an innovative, small research vessel, aiming to serve as a scientific survey tool, in very shallow areas, where the currently available research vessels are inadequate.In view of reaching Good Environmental Status (GES), a scenario-based framework of adaptive policies and management schemes will be developed. Scenarios of a suitable time frame and spatial scope will be used to explore interactions between projected anthropogenic and natural pressures. A feasible and realistic adaptation policy framework will be defined and ranked in relation to vulnerable marine sectors/groups/regions in order to design management schemes for marine governance. Finally, the project will promote the principles and objectives outlined in the MSFD across the SES.Leading research Institutes and SMEs from EU Member States, Associated States, Associated Candidate countries, non-EU Me

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'A NEXT-GEN AMMONIA CRACKING: UNLOCKING HIGH H2 RECOVERY, ON DEMAND, LOW-CARBON HYDROGEN' (H2SITE).

assistant: **Concept**

Context – The role of Ammonia as an Enabler of the Hydrogen EconomyHydrogen is crucial for transitioning to a net-zero economy, especially for hard-to-decarbonize industries and the maritime sector. However, its transportation and storage pose significant challenges, adding up to 300% to its production cost . Ammonia, with its high hydrogen storage capacity and existing global distribution infrastructure, offers a promising solution for hydrogen on demand.The problem – Ammonia cracking is not optimizedHydrogen can be converted to ammonia and back again by conversion and cracking processes. While conversion processes are optimized, current ammonia cracking technologies are inefficient, costly, and heavily reliant on fossil fuels, making them unsuitable for widespread adoption.Solution – Optimized, scalable, autonomous, low GHG, low cost, on-demand hydrogenOur project at H2SITE aims to revolutionize ammonia cracking with our novel membrane reactor technology. This technology integrates ammonia separation in a single step at lower temperatures, reducing both CAPEX and OPEX. It is catalyst agnostic, modular, and can be integrated with an ammonia burner, making it highly efficient and scalable. By producing just 0.5 gCO2eq/MJ (post-EIC) compared to 25 gCO2eq/MJ from conventional processes, while our current level stands at 2.7 gCO2eq/MJ, our solution achieves at least 95% GHG reduction compared to natural gas-based alternatives, with the potential for zero emissions.EIC Project – Bringing Ammonia Cracking to Industrial and Maritime ApplicationsWe are currently at TRL6 and need support from the EIC to develop and demonstrate a 1 ton per day MVP in the Port of Antwerp. This will enable us to scale up our technology, and adapt it for  the maritime segment and other applications

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'INTEgrating and Strengthening GEnomic Research in South-Eastern Europe' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Over the past decade significant resources have been committed to development of capacities for genomic research in Croatia. These efforts have lead to formation of the Centre for Functional Genomics of the Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital, University of Zagreb. Within the national confines, Centre for Functional Genomics formed strong links with other Croatian groups interested in genomic research, as well as with recognised centres of excellence in European Union (in Scotland, Portugal and Germany), and also with the Harvard University (USA). Initially formed through common research interests, these collaborations resulted in award of several research grants from the Croatian Ministry of Science, as well as international grants with EU partners (from The British Council, Royal Society UK, The Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council UK, National Institutes of Health USA and European Union). This proposal therefore seeks to strengthen and reinforce Centre for Functional Genomics of the Zagreb Medical School and its existing links with Croatian and EU centres.  The timing in Croatia is now very favourable for building on recent successes that include employment of promising researchers in the field of genomics, securing substantial competitive international research funding and publication of research results in high-impact journals. Support from the European Commission to this initiative would secure further development of genomic advances in the Croatian biomedical scientific community, integration of existing capacities within the country and bolstering the links with international centres of excellence to ensure the sustainability of existing programmes. These activities could also have potential impact on local economy, social environment and health. Thi

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Hypothalamic neuronal plasticity drives response to social experience' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The ability to learn and adapt in response to diverse social experiences is fundamental for animal survival. While key defensive actions against social threats such as flight or fight are innate, previous social experience can guide the selection of the appropriate response to minimize future harm, such as the development of social avoidance following social defeat. The ventromedial hypothalamus is a key brain structure in the innate defensive system, and activity in its ventrolateral part (VMHvl) can mediate both social aggression and escape, yet how previous experience influences hypothalamic social threat processing is not understood. Recent evidence has shown that social defeat can promote functional reorganization of neural activity in this structure, but the mechanisms of such plasticity have not been studied. In this project proposal, I plan to systematically investigate experience-dependent synaptic and neuronal plasticity in the VMHvl. First, I will use state-of-the-art in vitro electrophysiological techniques in mice to comprehensively explore changes in synaptic transmission in this region following social defeat. Second, I will leverage a recently developed calcium imaging method combined with optogenetics to follow and manipulate synaptic plasticity in the freely behaving mouse. Together with ethological behavior quantification techniques, this approach will allow me to identify and causally test the in vivo functional consequences of defeat-induced plasticity in the VMHvl. If successful, this project will provide novel insights into the synaptic and circuit basis of hypothalamic adaptations to social defeat. Gaining a mechanistic and physiological understanding of neuroadaptations following social experiences will offer new targets for therapeutic manipula

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Scalable Rare Earth Ion Quantum Computing Nodes' (SQUARE).

assistant: **Innovation**

Quantum technologies rely on materials that offer the central resource of quantum coherence, that allow one to control this resource, and that provide suitable interactions to create entanglement. Rare earth ions (REI) doped into solids have an outstanding potential in this context and could serve as a scalable, multi-functional quantum material. REI provide a unique physical system enabling a quantum register with a large number of qubits, strong dipolar interactions between the qubits allowing fast quantum gates, and coupling to optical photons – including telecom wavelengths – opening the door to connect quantum processors in a quantum network. This project aims at establishing individually addressable rare earth ions as a fundamental building block of a quantum computer, and to overcome the main roadblocks on the way towards scalable quantum hardware. The goal is to realize the basic elements of a multifunctional quantum processor node, where multiple qubits can be used for quantum storage, quantum gates, and for coherent spin-photon quantum state mapping. Novel schemes and protocols targeting a scalable architecture will be developed. The central photonic elements that enable efficient single ion addressing will be engineered into deployable technologies.
