user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Characterization of viral and host proteins involved in actin tails formation during vaccinia virus infection'.

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content Recently, vaccinia virus has been shown to move within the host cell and from cell to cell using actin polymerization as a driving force (Cudmore et al., 1995, Nature 378, 636-638; Cudmore et al., 1996, J. Cell Sci., In press). This project aims to identify the viral protein that initiates the cascade of events that lead to the polymerization of the actin tail that propels the virus particle as well as the host factors involved in this process. Actin tails are only induced by the IEV (intracellular enveloped virus) form of vaccinia, whose outer membrane surface is derived from the trans Golgi network (TGN). Through a combined screen and biochemical approach, we will identify the viral protein present at the IEV surface that is responsible for initiating the cascade of events that lead to actin tail formation and ultimately movement. In addition, we will develop in vitro assays using cell extracts from a variety of sources to facilitate identification and study of both viral and host proteins involved in the actin based motility of vaccinia virus. training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) The main objective is the understanding the spread of vaccinia as a model to understand the spread of viruses. Taking advantage of my yeast actin cytoskeleton background, the post-doctoral project described here will permit my entrance into the domain of mammalian cytoskeleton and viral pathology. I will benefit from training in the handling of viruses and tissue culture as well as in in vitro assays to study motile processes. EMBL will also be the perfect place to learn new techniques such as electronmicroscopy. Identification of viral and host factors involved in the motile process will be an important first step in the molecular charact

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'High performance biomass extracted functional hybrid polymer coatings for food, cosmetic and medical device packaging' (HYPERBIOCOAT) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Today, fresh food as well as convenience food is sold in packages. Hygienic conditions, long shelf life and easy availability of these packed products account for our standard of living. However, this convenience contributes in a significant way to environmental pollution, as packaging is mainly achieved by plastic materials in this case. Biodegradable packaging materials have been on the market for many decades. However, there are severe restrictions preventing their broad application in food packaging, as these materials do not provide the requested properties, such as a sufficient barrier against water vapour, oxygen or flavours. Our idea is to improve these properties by a biodegradable coating. We have developed high-barrier coatings based on a class of materials with glass-like structural units, so called ORMOCER®s. However, these coatings are not biobased, nor biodegradable.The target of the planned project is the development of new functional hybrid (inorganic-organic) coatings for applications in food, cosmetic & medical device packaging. These new coatings will be based on the work of Fraunhofer ISC who has patented and licensed ORMOCER® lacquers used for coating applications in order to increase barrier properties of packaging films. The aim of the planned project is to synthesise new coating materials based on bioORMOCER®s, which are formed of functionalised biopolymers extracted from lignocellulosic biomass sources using the bioORMOCER® synthesis approach. In particular, the polymeric structures of hemicelluloses and polyesters will be exploited. By the use of these biopolymer, the organoalkoxysilanes which are components of the state-of-the art ORMOCER® lacquers will be substituted to obtain a purely biobased functional coating material.The new functional

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Quantitative stochastic homogenization of variational problems' (QSHvar).

assistant: **Concept**

The proposal addresses various multiscale problems which lie at the intersection of probability theory and the analysis of partial differential equations and calculus of variations. Most of the proposed problems fit under the framework of stochastic homogenization, that is, the study of large-scale statistical properties of solutions to equations with random coefficients. In the last ten years, there has been significant progress made in developing a quantitative theory of stochastic homogenization, meaning that one can now go beyond limit theorems and prove rates of convergence and error estimates, and in some cases even characterize the fluctuations of the error. These new quantitative methods give us new tools to attack more difficult multi-scale problems that have until now resisted previous approaches, and consequently to solve open problems in the field.Many of the actual goals of the proposal come from problems in calculus of variations. Apart from qualitative results, many fundamental questions in quantitative theory are completely open, and our recent results suggest a way to tackle these problems. The first one is to prove regularity properties of homogenized Lagrangian under rather general assumptions on functionals, and to solve a counterpart for Hilbert's 19th problem in the context of homogenization. The second project is to attack so-called Faber-Krahn inequality in the heterogeneous case. This is a very involved problem, but again recent development in the theory of homogenization makes the attempt plausible. The final part of the proposal involves new mathematical approaches and subsequent computational research supporting the geothermal power plant project being built by St1 Deep Heat Ltd in Espoo, Finland.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Acting Out Disease. How Patient Organizations Shaped Modern Medicine'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project will provide crucial insights into the development of modern medicine and the role of lay involvement in science through analysis of so far largely neglected, but central actors in 20th century medical history: patient organizations. These groups first emerged in the late 19th century, and worked towards increased attention to particular illnesses, shared information on disease management, promoted treatments, and developed healthcare resources. This project is the first historical analysis of these early patient organizations' role in shaping ideas about illness and medical practices, and the first systematic account of how disease became an object of civic organization. It will argue that modern medicine was to a significant degree shaped by organized patients, who helped establish disease concepts and associated practices - and that this deep involvement of patients in medicine facilitated an extended reach of medical power which resonates in contemporary society. It will also investigate how patients, in acting out medical knowledge, assumed notions of selfhood that overlapped and interacted with those of medical scientists.I will lead a team of researchers to analyse the publications and archives of patient organizations from four European nations - Sweden, Germany, United Kingdom and France - a vast source material previously not considered by historians. Studying these rich sources will answer some of the core questions related to medicine in the 20th century, and in particular the role of patients: How was the idea of diseases as distinct entities established, how has it changed the medical landscape and the way we regard ourselves in relation to health and illness? What was the role of patients themselves in this transformative process, how has the

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Coordination and Advancement of sub-Saharan Africa-EU Science & Technology Cooperation Network', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The CAAST-Net project will establish a platform to promote improved cooperation in science and technology between Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.  To achieve this objective, CAAST-Net will analyse the current European and African S&T cooperation landscape, and undertake S&T policy analyses. Informed by the outcomes of analyses, CAAST-Net will initiate and support European-African S&T policy dialogues to advance cooperation and broker partnerships. CAAST-Net outcomes will include identification of specific research topics for European-African cooperation and their recommendation for inclusion in FP7. CAAST-Net will promote African participation in the FP7 as well as greater synergy between S&T partnerships and development cooperation instruments.    Implemented by a consortium of leading European and African agencies mandated by their governments to promote international S&T cooperation, CAAST-Net will be a key instrument to support the implementation of the overall S&T cooperation programmes agreed to by the mandated authorities of the EU and the African Union (AU). CAAST-Net has been developed with the support of the AU and NEPAD. CAAST-Net has 7 Work Packages: WP1 will gather and analyse information on current European-African S&T collaboration and on S&T policies and capacities which determine opportunities for future cooperation. WP2 considers the synergy between S&T partnerships and development cooperation instruments. The S&T policy dialogue platform under WP3 will promote European-African S&T policy discussions on themes identified in WP1 to frame an enabling policy environment for S&T cooperation. WP4 will establish S&T cooperation platforms to actively promote European-African S&T partnerships, especially for SICAs under FP7. WP5 will focus on improving FP7 info

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Development of therapeutic vaccines for chronic infections caused by the hepatitis c virus'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a major cause for chronic liver disease world-wide. Present therapies based on alpha-interferon and ribavirin can induce a sustained virologicaland biochemical response in 30-70 % of the patients. Thus, additional regimens are needed to improve treatment for chronic hcv infections. T cells have been found to play a central role in the clearence of hcv infections. A major problem is the high degree of genetic variability of hcv which probably caused the characterize hcv-specific vaccines based on the most conserved hcv proteins (core and ns3) by cloning genes from infected patients. These genes will form the base for recombinant proteins, synthetic peptides and genetic immunogens to be analysed in wild-type and transgenic mouse models. This proposal aim at to defining the optimal gene (s), the most potent vehicule, and the best route of delivery.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Low price wave energy conversion through force cancellation.' (Wavepiston) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

No attempt to harvest energy from waves has resulted in an economically viable and competitive technology. Many projects stopped and investors have become sceptical of wave power. Currently the cost per watt of usable wave energy is high, due to a focus on energy conversion methods and efficiency, rather than on mooring and grid connection, accounting for more than 90% expenditure.Wavepiston is a break through near-shore wave power technology producing energy from waves at a competitive price with respect to the most efficient renewable energy technologies. The system consists of identical modules mounted on a string pumping pressurized water to shore for successive energy conversion. Using Wavepiston’s patented “force cancellation” principle the system is able to reduce the amount of forces on the mooring and structure to 1:10, requiring a simpler structure and therefore reducing capital costs. The Wavepiston system can provide cost efficient, clean and reliable renewable energy to help meet Europe’s increasing demand and achieve emissions reduction targets. The offshore application ensures it is a suitable fit also for remote islands and isolated coastal communities.The Wavepiston system was conceived in 2006 and in 2009 the concept of force cancellation was patented. In 2010 numerous tank tests were performed with a system 1:30 the size, that experimentally validated the system and proved each panel can harvest more than 5% of the energy contained in a wave. In 2013 a proof of concept was carried out offshore with a system 1:9 the size and it worked better than predicted. Vryhof Anchors and Nurmi Cylinders, specialised in offshore mooring and hydraulic pumps respectively, have joined the project to support product industrialization. Phase 1 will assess various busine

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Evolution of the Auditory Region Structures of the Extinct Ruminant Hoplitomeryx' (EARSHOT) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Morphological data are crucial to resolving evolutionary relationships, but rapid evolution can overwrite this information. Because of this, the evolutionary relationships of ruminants (e.g., cows, sheep, and deer), one of the most diverse groups of mammals, are poorly understood. Ear region data may aid in resolving these relationships because it is thought to evolve slowly. Yet little is known about how this region evolves among closely related species, or how ecological factors influence its evolution. Data from a pilot study I conducted and from Hoplitomeryx, an extinct insular ruminant, highlight how little is known about the variation and evolutionary rates of the ear region, bringing current dogma into question. In EARSHOT, I will combine my knowledge of CT data and the ear with training in geometric morphometrics (GMM) and ruminants. This will enable me to quantify variation and evolutionary rates of the ear region using a dataset of island and mainland ruminants, answering whether ear region structures are truly all slow evolving with little variation. I will document the morphology of Hoplitomeryx, producing the first description of the ear region of an island endemic, and develop a novel GMM protocol for the petrosal, a major ear region structure. I will also develop a new GMM method to compare separate structures. My GMM protocols will set a new standard for quantifying and comparing variation, and my findings will be applicable to the study of mammal evolutionary relationships and variation and evolutionary rates across vertebrates. My research uses novel methods to test assumptions about evolution, and I will develop my GMM skills, add to my CT knowledge, and broaden my taxonomic expertise, enabling me to strengthen my research program. These skills, plus

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Historically Informed Gesture and Improvisation in Secco Recitative' (HisGesRecitative), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The secco recitative: those moments of sung speech where virtually all of an opera's dialogue and drama occurs and only occasional bass notes are written as accompaniment. Currently, these recitatives are often sped through or eliminated altogether. This research project will bring back the dramatic and artistic importance of the secco recitative genre in operas from a relatively neglected period in operatic performance practice research: 1740 to1840. It proposes a thorough investigation of the historically appropriate acting, declamatory, and gestural techniques which were specific to the genre and much appreciated by audiences of the period. Furthermore, it includes practice-led experimentation where the singer/actors can adopt these techniques and interact with different historically informed continuo-playing instruments and their harmonic improvisations. Previous researchers have investigated historical acting and gesture in baroque opera (Andrew Laurence King, Sigrid T’Hooft, Vincent Dumestre, Drottningholms Slottstheater) but they did not specifically focus on the recitative genre, nor did they deal with opera from later periods. Other researchers have investigated the role of harmonic improvisation in recitative accompaniment by cellists in earlier times (Walden, Whittaker, Bacciagaluppi, Suckling, Metzger) but they did not explore how these improvisations influenced and were influenced by the gestural and acting techniques employed on stage.We are convinced that such historically informed, artistic experimentation will result in new, compelling recitative practice. Such highly improvised and interactive interpretations would vary significantly from performance to performance and would draw in the public through their dramatic novelty and variety. This will not o

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'SoCial Finance for SOcial EnterPrisEs: TheoRy aNd PractICe to bUild a more incluSive society' (COPERNICUS) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The purpose of this project is to analyze approaches, methods and instruments of Social Finance (SF) helpful to support Social Enterprises (SEs) localized in some marginal territory of the EU (and especially in Calabria). The project aims: 1) to contribute to the international academic debate on SF, with a focus on the role of SF for SEs through the analysis of the best practices useful for the improvement of the economic wellbeing; 2) to provide better theoretical and practical solutions, by designing tailored financial instruments for the SEs located in Calabria with the aim to develop and to test efficient ways to reduce social exclusion and to promote social innovation; 3) to promote a permanent network between the involved parties with the aim to encourage new financial approaches for a more inclusive society. The relevance of this research project is confirmed by: i) the role of SF and SEs in the European agenda, in the academic debate, and in the challenges for financial systems; ii) the need to overcome the limits of the mainstream finance and to conceptualize a new finance approach able to be a good finance for a more inclusive society, iii) the multidisciplinary approach to the field of SF that involves both social innovation and social entrepreneurship. The innovativeness of the project is related to: i) the combined research approach (deductive/inductive) useful for exploratory studies; ii) the international approach to the topic of SF, that will be explored in collaboration with one of the leading international researcher in the field of SF and one of the most prominent researchers in the field of impact finance. The research activities will be developed through: i) the outgoing phase at Waterloo University; ii) the return phase at UNICA/UNICZ (Sardinia/Cal

user: Describe how 'Molecular Foundation of Structural and Dynamic Transformations in Novel Sodium-Ion Battery Materials' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The future of widespread clean energy relies heavily on understanding, developing, and optimizing materials for electrochemical energy storage. To date, a limited understanding of how short-range structures influence macroscopic device properties during operation has hindered implementation of promising technologies such as sodium-ion batteries. Here, we aim to use NMR spectroscopy to provide molecular-level insight into the chemical mechanisms underpinning structural and dynamic changes in novel phosphorus- and phosphide-based anodes and correlate these changes with sodium-ion performance figures or merit, including capacity, retention, charging rates, and lifetime. The impact of anode structure and dynamics on electrochemical properties in batteries will provide insight into new materials that can achieve high performance for electrochemical energy storage.
