user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'End-to-End Approach for Mobility-as-a-Service tools, business models, enabling framework and evidence for European seamless mobility' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

With the projected growth in transport demand, the current modus operandi in transport supply is deemed unsustainable and generates the need for innovative services that could support seamless mobility and a shift from car-ownership to usership. An emerging trend towards this direction is the integration of on-demand modes in conjunction with public transport, leading to the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) concept. MaaS is a user-centric, intelligent mobility distribution model, in which users' needs are met via a single platform and are offered by a service provider, the mobility operator. Although activities in this field are ongoing, at present there are no established frameworks and quantifiable evidence about MaaS costs and benefits, users’ needs, as well as its influence on travel patterns and car ownership of various user groups.Against this background the main goal of MaaS4EU is to provide quantifiable evidence, frameworks and tools, to remove the barriers and enable a cooperative and interconnected EU single transport market for the MaaS concept, by addressing challenges at 4 levels, (1) business, (2) end-users, (3) technology and (4) policy. This will be achieved by defining sustainable business models that support the cooperation across transport stakeholders, understanding user needs and choices, implementing the required technological infrastructure (a MaaS mobility hub) and identifying the enabling policy and regulatory frameworks. The project will provide quantifiable evidence about MaaS costs and benefits in 3 real-life, complementary pilot cases, demonstrating the concept in urban, intercity and cross-border trips at 3 EU areas (UK, LUX-DE, HU)The consortium disposes all necessary competences and has been formed to be able to handle all tasks involved in t

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Demonstration of Digital twins for a Green Steel value chain' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

In context of the transition to low-carbon, green and sustainable steel production in Europe, disruptive technologies to reduce the environmental footprint as close to zero as possible, seamless digitalisation of production processes, and skilled people to co-design and understand the transformation process are necessary. DiGreeS will address these needs by implementing an integrated digitalisation approach across the steel value chain, enabling better use of process data collected and ensuring the involvement of human experience for easier industrial integration. The aim of DiGreeS is to develop a user-friendly digital platform for networked production based on novel and soft sensors and related approaches and models to support efficient feedstock verification and real-time control of electric arc furnace crude steel production, increasing process yield while improving the quality of intermediate and final steel products. In this context, the potential of artificial intelligence techniques will be fully exploited to support the optimal use of industrial data, and different scenarios specific to each use case will be modelled. The digital platform will be implemented and verified in industrial process lines of the three use cases: scrap/secondary raw material verification, optimisation of the electric arc furnace processes and optimisation of the levelling of steel sheets. DiGreeS aims to improve the quality of crude steel and finished products, optimize scrap usage, and improve energy efficiency in the steel production process. DiGreeS has the potential to save up to €800 million in costs annually and reduce CO2 emissions from the steelmaking industry by up to 6 million tonnes per year.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Discontinuities in Household and Family Formation' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Household, family and fertility changes are key drivers of population dynamics. Discovering and explaining the velocity of these changes is essential to understand the current situation and to provide scientific evidence on our demographic future. DisCont will provide seminal contributions by studying the impact of macro-level discontinuities on household and family formation (including fertility) in post-industrial contemporary societies. In the past decade, two macro-level discontinuities have radically transformed lives: the Great Recession and the digitalization of life and of the life course. Although their short-term and long-term impacts are likely to be fundamental, they have not yet been systematically analysed. Through a coordinated series of theoretically-founded empirical studies based on linked macro- and micro-level data, and using a comparative perspective, DisCont will argue that macro-level discontinuities are crucial in explaining broad changes in household and family formation, and that their effects can be persistent either for the population as a whole, or for specific cohorts. DisCont will contribute to five areas: 1) it will make theoretical advances by showing the importance of macro-level discontinuities in the explanation of changes in household and family formation in particular, and in population dynamics in general; 2) it will substantially advance our knowledge of household and family formation in post-industrial contemporary societies; 3) it will contribute in a systematic and path-breaking way to research on the broader societal impact of digitalization and of the Great Recession; 4) it will bring a paradigm shift in Age-Period-Cohort modelling; 5) it will make ground-breaking contributions on the demographic use of “big data” and on the

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Programmable Droplet-based Lab on a Chip Systems'.

assistant: **Concept**

Microfluidic systems offer great benefits in healthcare technologies such as reduction in reagent volume, high sensitivity, cost-efficiency and on-chip integration of multiple analyses. These benefits can be further enhanced using two phase flow microfluidic systems, i.e. microdroplet-based devices. The objective of this proposal is to develop programmable droplet-based lab-on-a-chip systems (PDB-LOCs) for tests/assays requiring high throughput and flexibility. The programmable platform will be a universal lab-on-a-chip device that can be used for multiple biochemical tests requiring different process steps. This will be achieved by routing microdroplets in a microfluidic network using electric field. At every junction at the fluidic network, droplets will be detected by capacitive sensing and will be routed using dielectrophoretic force. This will enable all-electronic detection and routing of microdroplets for programmability, compactness and ease-of-integration. Another goal of the project is to implement the sensing and routing of droplets using electrodes on printed circuit boards (PCBs) and achieve bonding of microfluidics chips on PCBs to have hybrid ""electro-fluidic"" chips. This will facilitate the fabrication and will allow standardization of these lab-on-a-chip devices which will widen the application range of droplet-based systems by making them available to scientists in every field. The read-out and control electronics will be placed on the same PCB and a truly sample-in result-out system will be achieved. This project will narrow the gap between the proof-of-concept microfluidic technologies and commercial devices. Combining the strength of microfluidics with the robustness of electronics, next generation lab-on-a-chip devices will be enabled to boost Eu

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'SEctoral Specific SME economic intelligence stimulation' (SESME) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

One of the main strategic objectives of the Fifth Framework Programme on Research and Technology Development is to increase the quality and extent of SME participation in RTD activities. However, SMEs with limited or no R&D capacity generally do not perceive the opportunities which participation in transnational projects and innovation can offer. To meet the main objective of this proposal taking into account the conclusions drawn from earlier stimulation actions and the structure of FP5 it is proposed to develop an integrated approach based on fixed modules, methods and tools capable of taking full account of the sector differences (and differences within one specific sector) and the needs of individual SMEs.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Modern and Past Elephant DivErsity' (STAMPEDE) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The proposed project aims to investigate novel ways of bridging the study of evolutionary history of extinct populations with the study of conservation genetics of populations threatened by extinction. I plan to use a multidimensional approach by studying populations across time, space, and scientific fields. Combining the spatio-temporal and cross-disciplinary aspects, I plan to create a unique source of genetic information about African elephants in the past and present. I will do this by generating low-depth genomic data for 500 African elephants from across the current range, which will be used for analyses of present-day genetic diversity and connectivity. In addition, this genomic catalogue will be used to identify the provenance of ancient ivory from the Bajo de la Campana shipwreck that sank near the Iberian coast ~600-500 BCE. This ivory is assumed to have originated in North Africa, and thus, represents a rare opportunity to generate first data of an extinct population of elephants. These were likely the elephants that were used as war elephants during the Punic Wars, but there is an ongoing discussion about which species they belonged to. Using ancient DNA techniques to recover DNA from the shipwreck ivory, I will test if they represent a genetically distinct lineage or show affinity to any of the modern populations. Although the goals of this project are ambitious, all pieces required for its successful realization are already in place, including a network of collaborators providing access to samples, expertise of the supervisor and host institute in conservation projects and bioinformatics, and my expertise in palaeogenomics and conservation genomics. The findings of this project have the potential to yield important scientific achievements and serve as a v

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Creation of the centre of excellence in smart forestry' (2021-2027).

assistant: **Innovation**

The overall objective of the FOREST 4.0 project is to establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE) to transform the forest environment monitoring, data acquisition, and analysis, and capture value from the collected data by implementing innovations based on artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).  The CoE will be founded by two Lithuanian partners (Vytautas Magnus University - VMU) and Kaunas University of Technology - KTU) teaming with a leading counterpart from Sweden (Linnaeus University - LNU) and three networking and business development partners (InteriorCluster from Sweden, ART21 UAB and AgriFood Lithuania Digital Innovation Hub from Lithuania).  The CoE will be created as a new legal entity and will comprise leading researchers from different domains that will implement an ambitious long term research and innovation strategy. The CoE will also provide innovation services to businesses and host a startup incubator.  The impact of the project will be a rise in research excellence and reputation in forestry management and AI/IoT technologies for Lithuania; the constitution of a critical mass of excellent international researchers in the targeted domains; the production of a growing amount of research (publications) and innovation (patents, new technologies, startups) outputs; and expanding international networks for the Lithuanian partners.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Space-time structure of climate change', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

I will determine and use the space-time structure of climate change from years to millennia to test climate models, fundamentally improve the understanding of climate variability and provide a stronger basis for the quantitative use of paleoclimate records.The instrumental record is only a snapshot of our climate record. Two recent advances allow a deeper use of the paleo-record: 1.increased availability and number of paleoclimate records, 2.major advances in the understanding of climate proxies. In a recent PNAS paper, we showed that consistent estimates of regional temperature variability across instruments and proxies can now be obtained by inverting the process by which nature is sampled by proxies. Empirical evidence and physics suggest an intrinsic link between time scale and the associated spatial scale of climate variations: While fast variations such as weather are regional, glacial-interglacial cycles appear to be globally coherent. I will quantify this presumed tendency of the climate system to reduce its degrees of freedom on longer time scales and use it to constrain the sparse, noisy and at times contradictory evidence of past climate changes. By systematically analyzing instrumental and paleo-records, I will1. determine the space-time structure of climate changes on annual to millennial time scales. This provides the prerequisite for mapping past climate changes and will allow me to confront climate models with robust estimates of climate variability across spatial scales;2. provide a clearer separation of internal and external forced climate variability, by leveraging their distinct space-time structures;3. examine the past relationship between mean-state and climate variability to predict how variability will change in a warmer future.This will provide

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Reliable Data-Driven Decision Making in Cyber-Physical Systems' (RADDICS).

assistant: **Innovation**

This ERC project pushes the boundary of reliable data-driven decision making in cyber-physical systems (CPS), by bridging reinforcement learning (RL), nonparametric estimation and robust optimization. RL is a powerful abstraction of decision making under uncertainty and has witnessed dramatic recent breakthroughs. Most of these successes have been in games such as Go - well specified, closed environments that - given enough computing power - can be extensively simulated and explored. In real-world CPS, however, accurate simulations are rarely available, and exploration in these applications is a highly dangerous proposition. We strive to rethink Reinforcement Learning from the perspective of reliability and robustness required by real-world applications. We build on our recent breakthrough result on safe Bayesian optimization (SAFE-OPT): The approach allows - for the first time - to identify provably near-optimal policies in episodic RL tasks, while guaranteeing under some regularity assumptions that with high probability no unsafe states are visited - even if the set of safe parameter values is a priori unknown. While extremely promising, this result has several fundamental limitations, which we seek to overcome in this ERC project. To this end we will (1) go beyond low-dimensional Gaussian process models and towards much richer deep Bayesian models; (2) go beyond episodic tasks, by explicitly reasoning about the dynamics and employing ideas from robust control theory and (3) tackle bootstrapping of safe initial policies by bridging simulations and real-world experiments via multi-fidelity Bayesian optimization, and by pursuing safe active imitation learning. Our research is motivated by three real-world CPS applications, which we pursue in interdisciplinary collaborat

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'COMPACT MODULAR INSTALLATIONS FOR VISUALLY SENSITIVE LARGE FLOW LOW HEAD SITES'.

assistant: **Innovation**

To develop a standard user-friendly self-tuning control system and standardised design techniques to permit the use of a modular arrangement of 12 No. simple European propeller turbines at a very low head site with visual sensitivity. To facilitate the export of European low head turbine equipment and control systems. To further strengthen the small hydro trade links between Ireland and Sweden.The site is located at an existing weir and lock gate on the River Shannon in Ireland, has a very low head (1.4 m - 2.0 m), and is located in a visually sensitive area. Consequently, it could be difficult to obtain planning permission for any proposed development which would have structures protruding above the height of existing weir structures or which would require deep excavations. These restrictions effectively rule out the possibility of using conventional Kaplan pit turbines or vertical shaft siphon turbines. It is instead proposed to use a modular arrangement of 12 No. identical small simple and compact propeller turbines which make extensive use of engineering plastics in their construction. This innovative solution will be compact, cost effective, visually unobtrusive, and easy to construct and operate. It will also be ideally suited for export applications in developing countries. A standard user-friendly self-tuning control system will be developed which will be suitable for application at this proposed demonstration site as well as further replica sites.The selected propeller turbines have never before been used in multi-turbine modular arrangement of similar size.The expected annual generation is 2,205,000 kWh.It is anticipated that the average cost of the energy produced will be 0.053 ECU/kWh.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Experimental and Computational Analysis of Flow Patterns at Inlet Devices of Solar Water Stores'.

assistant: **Objectives**

For further improvements of the efficiency of solar thermal systems, the temperature stratification in the store is decisive. To maintain or create the stratification, the design of inlet devices for the water entering the store is crucial. The objects of investigation are flow patterns that develop at inlet devices o f solar hot water stores. Two methods shall be applied:- Calculations of fluid dynamics with numerical methods (Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD);- An experimental method to trace particles inside a fluid flow (Particle Image Velocimetry , PIV). The applicant plans to set up a PIV device, composed mainly of a rectangular glass store, a CCD-camera, and a laser. Particles with a density close to that of water will be inserted into the store, illuminated by the laser, and thereby used to visualize flow patterns. The positions of the particles are recorded by the camera.From the pictures, conclusions will be drawn about the fluid velocity field. Flow patterns that develop directly at a vertical inlet device, created by forced convection or thermosyphon flow, shall be analysed. In order to model fluid patterns, simulation tools ( e. g. CFX, Fluent) are available to solve the governing system of differential equations (Navier-Stokes- and simplified energy equation). A major task is to create a mathematical grid, with a zone of major interest close to the inlet device, that defmes the nodes at which the system of equations is to be solved. Calculations will be carried out for different flow patterns, boundary conditions, and geometries of the inlet device and validated by the PIV -measurements. The aim of the investigations is to get insight into fundamental mixing processes and flow patterns inside a solar storage tank and to become acquainted with new experime
