user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Foreign Aid, Remittances, and Wellbeing in Small Island Developing States' (FAR-SIDS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

This proposal investigates the interrelation between foreign aid and remittances in supporting livelihoods in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Employing an innovative, interdisciplinary mixed-methods approach, the study integrates ethnographic fieldwork, household surveys, and econometric modelling, all underpinned by the new Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) proposed by Natarajan et al. (2022). The objective is to explore how foreign aid and remittances interact with six interdependent livelihood capitals (human, social, cultural, physical, financial, and natural) - interactions often overlooked in traditional development economics. The aim is to inform policies and guide the development of integrated interventions that effectively leverage both financial flows to promote resilient and diversified livelihood strategies, ultimately enhancing the long-term wellbeing of SIDS. To achieve these objectives, the project will employ a multi-sited comparative approach, focusing on Jamaica, Tonga, and Comoros. Qualitative data collection will utilise an adaptation of the CRiSTAL tool, while quantitative analysis will bridge ethnographic insights with household surveys and econometric modelling. This research directly contributes to SDGs 1, 10, 13, and 14 and aligns with the EU's commitment to the SAMOA Pathway for SIDS by examining how remittances and aid can jointly address specific social, ecological, and economic challenges faced by SIDS. Additionally, the project aims to inform EU’s Global Gateway investments in SIDS by suggesting ways to combine large-scale aid projects with grass-root remittance-driven initiatives for more comprehensive sustainable development. By uncovering the intricate dynamics between foreign aid, remittances, and livelihood capitals, this r

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Skewness Preferences – Human attitudes toward rare, high-impact risks' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

“Penny-picking in front of a steamroller” describes the behavior of repeatedly taking risks with an unlikely but extreme downside in order to secure a small but likely benefit. Examples of penny-picking include risking one’s life by driving too fast or blowing up financial bubbles by speculating that they will not burst just yet. Penny-picking suggests that people underweight rare, high-impact events when making their decisions. On the other hand, individuals overpay for lottery gambles and insurances alike, suggesting just the opposite—that people overweight rare, high-impact events.The goal of this project is to provide a fundamental understanding of humans’ skewness preferences—our attitudes toward rare, high-impact risks. I show that skewness preferences are much more influential on behavior than previously realized and thus must take a central place in the economic analysis of risk. The reason is that skewness preferences have unexpected and far-reaching implications in dynamic decision situations, and I will study their complex interaction with time.I pursue this research agenda in three steps. First, I focus on static, one-time decision situations and define skewness preferences formally. I show that the leading economic theories—often implicitly—assign first-order importance to skewness preferences and that this observation explains much of these theories’ success. Second, I study skewness preferences in dynamic settings and analyze their complex interaction with time preferences. I propose a new model that identifies the role of skewness for repeated risk-taking. Third, I test my theoretical contributions through experiments on rare, high-impact risks in static and repeated decision situations, using a relatively novel experimental technique to implement rare,

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Formaldehyde free Bio-Based thermosetting resin for wood pressed products'.

assistant: **Concept**

Pressed wood panels are composed of chopped or cut wood that are glued together using adhesives. Most of these resins are petroleum based products containing a hazardous chemical: formaldehyde. The acceptable levels of formaldehyde in wood pressed products have been reduced over the past decades due to increased public awareness on its effects on health and the consequent consumer demand for non-hazardous products. The current situation in Europe is that the Committee for Risk Assessment of the European Chemical Agency has recommended reclassifying formaldehyde from category 2, ""probably carcinogenic to humans"" to category 1B “substance which is presumed to have carcinogenic potential for humans"". This reclassification is expected by 2015 and it will surely have an impact on EU standards with regards to formaldehyde emissions from wood panels. In turn, this will affect the competitiveness of European woodworkers who will be forced to reduce, or even eliminate, the use of formaldehyde resins in wood panels.The development of efficient renewable resins to substitute petroleum formaldehyde based adhesives is one of the biggest challenges for the Wood Industry.To do so, the ECO-PRESSWOOD project aims to develop “formaldehyde free” wood based panels that combine bio-based chemistry, nanotechnology and process engineering.To be cost competitive and environmentally friendly, this new resin will be produced from residues of biodiesel production. The performance of the bio-panels will be increased by ceramic nanoparticles that will provide extra reinforcement. Moreover manufacturing processes will be researched to integrate both developments.""

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Innovative energy storage technologies for the Internet of Things' (IoT-CAP) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

At the core of the ongoing transformation of technology and energy systems lies the Internet of Things (IoT), a network of interconnected devices capable of collecting and exchanging data with unprecedented efficiency and precision. In this project we aim to develop two different experimental approaches to expand the knowledge gained from the P.CAP project. To develop prismatic supercapacitor cells, using our know-how on coating carbon electrodes for supercapacitors; and to develop planar capacitor cells with Relaxor Ferroelectric (RFE) materials making use of the techniques develop during P.CAP for the manufacturing of planar electrochemical cells. The project will have a strong focus on benchmarking technologies with commercial cells, market competitiveness analysis, preliminary IP landscape, unique value proposition, preliminary budget estimation for scale-up, all of which will be compiled in a business case.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Development of an organic photovoltaic module that generates energy from ambient light'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the most important electrochemical energy storage system for IoT devices (in 2015, 5.6B LIBs were sold worldwide). However, lithium mining is extremely damaging to the environment and it harms the soil and causes air contamination. Furthermore, the typical estimated life of a LIB is about very short, 2/3 years or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. Dracula Technologies has developed the LAYER, the green alternative to LIBs. The LAYER® is an OPV module produced through inkjet printing that generates energy from ambient light and that is specifically designed for IoT devices, such as smart home tools. It consists of 2 electrodes,2 interfacial layers and the active LAYER®, made of organic raw materials (semiconducting organic molecules or polymers, fullerene derivatives, non-fullerene derivatives). It is less than 5mm thick and its power conversion efficiency (PCE) under outdoor and indoor illumination is respectively 12% and 25%.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Challenging the state-of-the-art of low intensity noise, single frequency fiber lasers' (2021-2027) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The focus of this project is the development of state-of-the-art kW-class, low noise, single frequency (SF) fiber laser. SF lasers operate with a single longitudinal mode, emitting quasi-monochromatic light with kHz-class linewidth and low intensity noise. This class of lasers are in great demand for precision time/frequency metrology, atom cooling, coherent LIDAR, and laser spectroscopy. However, power scaling SF fiber lasers, while maintaining its low noise properties and high beam quality has been a challenge due to the onset of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and transverse modal instability (TMI) that disrupt the stable system operation beyond a certain power level (known as threshold). But high-power (> 500 W) low-intensity noise, SF lasers with high beam quality are quintessential for building next generation interferometric gravitational wave detectors (GWDs) and efficient neutral beam injector systems for fusion reactors. The current state-of-the-art for these systems is limited to ~ 400 W in an all-fiber architecture. We intend to challenge it by developing kW-class, low-noise SF fiber laser by using optimized laser design, novel ytterbium-doped fibers (commercial and customized) and efficient techniques to suppress the undesirable nonlinear and thermal effects. Such a system would also be valuable in understanding the dynamics and interplay between SBS and TMI and developing an accurate system model for optimized laser parameters and threshold levels. For this, we seek to combine the expertise of the applicant (Roopa Prakash), in building kW-class, narrow linewidth (~10 GHz), polarization-maintaining fiber lasers with the expertise of Giorgio Santarellis group in developing state-of-the-art low-intensity noise, SF lasers using specialty fibers.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Children's and young people's experiences of immigration and integration in Irish society' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The period since the mid-1990s has seen an unprecedented increase in immigration to Ireland, as in other EU countries. Research has documented the experiences of migrants in different contexts, as part of a broad concern with issues of social integration a nd inclusion. Many migrant groups include a significant population of children and young people, but very little research has focused specifically on their experiences of integration.This research programme aims to contribute to understandings of immigrati on and integration among children and young people in contemporary Irish society. It seeks to map the social worlds of migrant children and youth at the local level in different contexts. The research will produce in-depth analysis of the nature and extent of integration, drawing on current ideas of transnationalism, citizenship and geographies of childhood, and will propose recommendations. The research programme will be interdisciplinary in nature, primarily qualitative, and will involve four interrelated strands: (1) labour migrants, (2) EU citizens, (3) asylum-seekers and refugees and (4) Irish return migrants. A child-centred approach will be adopted and will include participatory research techniques. The findings will have direct relevance for other EU countries, in particular new member states, which may experience similar social and economic transformations in the future. Researchers will be recruited from across the social sciences and the EU. They will have expertise in the relevant field, relevant language skills and knowledge of the major sending countries for migrants to Ireland (particularly eastern European countries). Therefore the research team will be interdisciplinary and international. The research will promote the EU as a research hub in t his a

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Neuroscience and Narratives of Intimacy'.

assistant: **Objectives**

As human beings, we tend to connect. Yet social isolation is a widespread condition with grave consequences on life-expectancy. Ideals of self-sufficiency and new modes of communication incite to isolate rather than attach. By contrast, experiencing meaningful intimate interactions has positive effects on health. But what is intimacy, where is it to be found, has it changed and how can it be studied?Infused with a robust public engagement component, the intended programme of research involves collecting narratives of intimacy from the general public to derive elements of its every day lived experience. Be these obstacles to (shame, fear, attachment deficits) or catalysts for (authenticity, vulnerability, trust) intimacy, the project then scrutinises past and current neuroscience and psychology research that can explain them. The project also aims at finding out whether brain explanations of intimacy resonate loudly with people and in popular culture and whether they disenchant the value of social connection. Overall, the proposed approach bears a twofold potential: On one hand, the intimacy narratives identified may translate into instructive inspiration for the design of experiments by the scientific community. On the other hand, the public will be exposed to and question scientific accounts of intimacy, as well as report whether or not a scientific interpretation of intimacy reconciles with experience. Ultimately, it will be possible to probe levels of incommensurability as well as possible convergences between scientific empiricism and lived experience, data and phenomenology, measurements and narratives and, thereby, test an effective dialogue between the medical sciences and the humanities, as well as science and society.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'sPatially and environmentAlly aCtuable nancoMposite hydrogels towArds Nervous system repair' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

This proposal aims to capitalize on my unique multi-disciplinary expertise in nanotechnology, tissue engineering, polymer/inorganic hybrids, and microsurgical techniques, while acquiring new proficiencies in the creation of breakable hybrid organosilica nanocapsules, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and nanocomposite hydrogels. I am driven to tackle the unmet needs, opportunities, and challenges in the fields of nanocomposite hydrogel design and nervous system repair by combing my current expertise with these new proficiencies to innovate nanocomposite hydrogels that are environmentally and spatially actuable. Specifically, the goal of my proposal is to pioneer spatially distinct and environmentally responsive actuation of nanocomposite hydrogels in response to matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) peptide cleavage, focusing on applications in peripheral nerve repair. In order to achieve this ambitious objective, I will develop MMP-9 degradable polyethylene glycol (PEG)/mesoporous silica nanoparticle composites and MMP-9 breakable organosilica nanocapsules through the incorporation of MMP-9 cleavable peptides into silica nanoparticle structures. MMP-9 can therefore be used to induce: 1) hydrogel degradation, 2) release of encapsulated therapeutics, and 3) capture of molecules by cleaved nanoparticle scavengers. This proposal details a highly interdisciplinary approach to create a plug-and-play nanocomposite hydrogel system to overcome obstacles needed to improve regeneration outcomes by combining neuroscience and microsurgical nerve repair with chemistry, drug delivery, biomaterials science, and tissue engineering. Finally, nanocomposite nerve guidance conduits will be tested in a peripheral nerve injury model to demonstrate in vivo MMP-9 actuation of these hydrogels.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Atlas of the Human Deep Brain Nuclei, Connections, and Vasculature'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Deep-brain stimulation, DBS in short, is one of the most promising surgical treatments for movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), and more recently, neuropsychiatric diseases such as obsessive compulsive disorder. During DBS surgery, a microelectrode is lowered deep into the brain with the aim to stimulate small subcortical nuclei in order to alleviate disease related symptoms such as rigidity and tremor as seen in patients with PD. Studies using DBS in PD patients show that a suboptimal placement of electrodes in, for example, the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) or Globus Pallidus (GP), can yield changes in cognitive processes (e.g., attention, mental speed, response inhibition) and affective states (e.g., depression, hypomania, anxiety, hypersexuality, and hallucinations). These unwanted side effects of DBS are speculated to be the result of the stimulation of subareas other than the motor zone within these nuclei, the stimulation of white matter connections, or the dysregulation of blood flow to neighboring areas. Our aim is to create an atlas of the human Deep Brain nuclei, connections, and Vasculature (DeepBrainVascu) to substantially improve the outcome of DBS by significantly reducing unwanted side effects.
