user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Quantum Spacetime'.

assistant: **Objectives**

In modern theoretical physics one of the major challenges is to find a theory of quantum gravity, the theory that should unify Einstein's general relativity with quantum mechanics. We propose a novel approach to quantum gravity, which is both perturbative and also independent of any choice of background space-time metric. The approach is based on the relation between general relativity and topological field theory. Being background independent it preserves all the basic features of general relativity, and being a perturbative approach it should assign a feasible calculation procedure to many physically interesting phenomena.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'DefCrust' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Many recent developments in our understanding of deformation in the Earth's crust come from geodynamic models which incorporate the geometries, boundary conditions and rock rheologies in the subsurface. Unfortunately, the rheology of rocks deforming under natural conditions is poorly known. Currently there are two approaches to quantify crustal rheology. The first approach extrapolates laboratory-derived flow laws for monomineralic materials over several orders of magnitude and the second approach involves the study of microstructures in rocks. Unfortunately both approaches are only partially successful. A major problem here is that conditions in nature are not directly accessible by laboratory experiments and that there is a lack of samples deformed in natu re of which all the deformation parameters are known. These would form a solid basis for validation of the technique of deriving rheological flow law parameters from microstructures of rocks deformed in nature. This project is centered around mullions, whi ch for the first time provide naturally deformed samples for which the rheological flow law parameters and deformation conditions can be determined. Microstructural analysis will allow quantification of the microstructures in these deformed samples by mean s of a number of state-of-the- art techniques (e.g. EBSD, BSE, microprobe, focussed beam XRD microanalysis). By integrating the results, the projects enables to establish the link between deformation, rheological flow laws and microstructures. Ultimately t he project aims to present improved criteria to deduce deformation mechanisms and paleorheologies from deformed rocks, and provide improved input for geomechanical modellers and other geoscientists who study processes that involve deformation of the Earth' s c

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Speech recognition algorithms for connectionist hybrids'.

assistant: **Concept**

In WERNICKE, on top of substantial theoretical results, it was demonstrated, using standard international reference databases (such as the unlimited vocabulary ARPA North American Business News database, and the EU funded SQALE project), that the hybrid HMM/ANN approaches lead to competitive state-of-the-art speech recognizers. Furthermore, the investigated hybrid approach was shown to have additional advantages in terms of CPU utilisation and memory bandwidth. These conclusions have been confirmed by many different independent sources.While building on the WERNICKE large vocabulary continuous Speech Recognition system, SPRACH will also investigate the development of flexible systems for smaller, task independent applications, in different languages (UK English, French and Portuguese).The industrial relevance of this project is high, and many useful results are expected. Firstly, it is clear that speech processing, and Speech Recognition in particular, will play a major role in the future multimedia and telematics applications. In this respect, while SPRACH is fully exploiting the promising HMM/ANN technology, it also addresses most of the relevant issues of Speech Recognition in general, such as language and lexicon modelling, application domain adaptation, and prototype development. Secondly, on top of its obvious relevance to the speech recognition technology, it is also important to note that, motivated by the results achieved in WERNICKE, these hybrid systems have already been adopted by several industries and laboratories in many different areas. To reinforce the industrial relevance of this project and its possible industrial impact, a SPRACH Industrial Advisory Board including BBC (UK), CSELT (I), Daimler-Benz (D) and Thomson (F) has been set up.Possible applica

user: Describe how 'Understanding contemporary interest group politics: mobilization and strategies in multi-layered systems' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This ERC program addresses an unsettled political science problem, namely how does the shifting of policymaking competencies to higher levels of government affect the opportunities of societal interests to seek representation. On this issue two completely different theoretical expectations exist. One the one hand, the Madisonian view entails that shifting competencies upwards is a healthy antidote to the powers of specific interests that may dominate smaller polities. Multi-levelness may also provide political opportunities as it enables actors to make strategic venue shifts when they are unable to attract the necessary attention at one venue. On the other hand, shifting policymaking upwards may seriously restrict the opportunities for diffuse interests, undermine encompassing forms of interest representation, and increase the barriers for local groups to gain attention. Instead of creating opportunities for all, multi-layered systems may decrease opportunities and reproduce or reinforce representational bias. One of the reasons why the implications of multi-layeredness are so poorly understood is the fact that political science has not developed a proper understanding of what representational bias means; some scholars see bias in terms of mobilization, while others conceive it in terms of the strategic interactions between organized interests and policymakers.This ERC program will integrate theoretically, methodologically and empirically these different aspects of group politics, by taking explicitly into account the nature of multi-layered systems. The innovative character of it lies in the theoretical combination of mapping interest group community dynamics, with a more nuanced characterization of organizational form and an in-depth investigation of bias in terms of

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Religious and Ethnic Diversity in the Far Right', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The core question of the project Religious and Ethnic Diversity in the Far Right (REDFAR) is: what role play ethnic and religious minorities (ERMs) in the far right? Contemporary far-right nationalist movements across western Europe style themselves as defenders of a white Christian Europe, agitating against ERMs and rejecting ethnic and religious diversity. Yet, in recent years an increasing number of male and female ERM public intellectuals and activists have gained visibility in these movements. Looking at Germany, France, the UK and Norway, REDFAR proposes an interdisciplinary, multi-method and multi-sited comparative approach to understand the presence of ERM actors in a movement that strives for cultural homogeneity. The overarching assumption is that through its contradictory claiming of both, a secular and a Christian Europe the far right provides space for ERMs who, in turn, legitimise the far right’s politics of racial and religious exclusion. REDFAR’s multidisciplinary theoretical approach at the crossroads of political anthropology, the history of political and religious ideas and the study of far-right ideology is complemented by a multilevel methodological approach: (1) The comparative analysis of different national contexts with (2) the discourse analysis of the online and offline publications of leading non-white and non-Christian far right intellectuals and (3) the ethnographic study of local far right activism. REDFAR will provide a timely contribution to the debates on the political implications of increasing religious and ethnic diversity of western European societies and the transformations of far-right nationalist movements it entails. It will shed new light on the interdependence of religion, race and gender in far-right ideology. Its results will

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Deep Biosignatures on Mars and Earth' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

In recent decades, samples from mines and boreholes have revealed that our planet’s biosphere extends several miles downwards into the crust. Pores and fissures far below the seafloor and land surface are populated by vast numbers of microorganisms, with broad economic and scientific implications. These implications reach as far as Mars, whose subsurface has provided a potentially habitable environment for billions of years, protected from the hostile conditions at the surface. Although Earth's modern-day ""deep biosphere"" is now the subject of a major global research effort, almost nothing is known about its variation across geological time, which may have been considerable and highly consequential for planetary biogeochemistry. This project will combine state-of-the-art analyses of fossil and chemical traces of deep life (""deep biosignatures"") with experimental and modelling work to elucidate the abundance, activity and geological record of ancient subsurface life on Earth and its possible relevance for Mars. Dr McMahon’s research at the UK Centre for Astrobiology (School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh) will be directed towards four main objectives, as follows:1. To identify and describe ancient deep biosignatures in both marine and terrestrial rocks on Earth, showing how their deep origin can be confirmed, and extending the deep fossil record.2. To conduct experiments to determine whether and how, if they exist, deep biosignatures could be detected in rocks on Mars by rover instruments—particularly those on the European ExoMars rover.3. To simulate experimentally the conditions deep below the surface of Earth and Mars and discover which environmental parameters most strongly affect the growth of relevant deep microorganisms and the production of

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Training experts in antigen processing  to deliver new drug prototypes for cancer and autoimmune diseases' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Current trends in immunotherapy are to develop immuno-modulatory small molecules for intracellular targets for single therapy or combination with existing treatments. CAPSTONE scientists have recently identified the key pathway of intracellular antigen processing for modulating the immune response. ERAP enzymes that generate antigenic peptides have thus emerged as promising targets for the cancer immunotherapy and autoimmune diseases treatments. Our innovative research approach based on ERAP, targets the upstream molecular events that cause these diseases. We aim at fully understanding this pathway, deciphering the mechanisms of antigen processing dysfunctions in diseases, and developing innovative therapeutic drugs. This will provide unique opportunities for future treatment of unmet medical needs and innovative immunotherapies. CAPSTONE will thus be an excellent scientific environment to train the next generation of 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) and establish an innovative cross-fertilisation between oncology and auto-immunity. Our fellows will be able to perform outstanding research at the forefront of transdisciplinary science within a high-calibre international network of academics, industries and patient associations. CAPSTONE brings together an intersectorial and multidisciplinary group of researchers in medicinal chemistry, X-Ray crystallography, cellular biology, oncology, autoimmunity, bioanalysis, mass spectrometry imaging, formulation, systems biology, personalised medicine that will expose the ESRs to key R&D stages, from basic research to pre-clinical development. CAPSTONE will prepare the ESRs for exciting career perspectives in academia, the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology SMEs, and provide them with scientific and transferable skills and high

user: Draft an impact statement for 'New Frontiers in an Old World? Revealing the Role of North-West Europe's ‘Peripheral’ Outlands in the Growth of Capitalism, c.1400-1900', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

OutNorth will develop a novel periphery-centred approach to the growth of north-west Europe's capitalist urban centres (AD1400-1900) by examining their dependence on outland producers of cattle and dairy. Most studies of capitalism's rise have focused on urban-industrial 'cores' and their agricultural hinterlands, neglecting distant places like western Ireland and inner Scandinavia. Yet recent archaeological and palaeo-environmental fieldwork suggests outlands were once valuable and could sustain complex livestock-rearing systems.Focusing on south-west Ireland, OutNorth will build a multi-level approach which determines the active role of outland pastoralists in supplying NW Europe’s core areas with food - from their use of mountain pastures and (re)negotiation of community structures, to their trade and interaction with specific urban-industrial centres. It will accomplish this by integrating the results of recent archaeological surveys and environmental sampling with neglected historical evidence, GIS-based remote sensing and digital field survey. By basing its analysis in the landscape, OutNorth will challenge the assumption that peripheral farmers’ actions were dictated by 'the outside world'. It will show instead how socio-ecological factors shaped their engagement with markets, and in turn influenced growth in core areas. Comparative analysis in western Sweden will provide a means of testing this approach in a different socio-political and environmental context, ensuring replicability.OutNorth’s long-term view of farming will make a timely contribution to the EU’s strategy on sustainable food production. Having arranged a collaboration with a major new European Innovation Partnership on upland farming, the researcher will organise a series of community events to h

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Real-time decoding of conscious and non-conscious perceptual events in the human brain' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The decoding of brain states using machine learning techniques has become a widely used approach in many areas of neuroscience research. The performance of the classifier under different conditions, as well as the by products" of the decoding process, can be used to make inferences about how the brain encodes information. Decoding methods are also central to the development of non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCI) where decoding is done in real-time. Non-invasive real-time decoding techniques have obvious control applications, but less obvious is their potential as a research tool. One of the most exciting prospects for real-time decoding in basic neuroscience research is the potential to modify the sensory context in response to brain events as they happen, or perhaps even slightly before they happen, in order to study the correspondence between brain states and subjective states in a very direct way. This points to a key distinction in real-time decoding: the discrimination of one brain state from another given that the time of occurrence is fixed or known, versus the asynchronous detection of a particular brain state – the decoder remains idle, but attentive, and responds only when the particular state is detected. Recent advances in non-invasive BCI research along the latter front (high detection rates, very low false-alarm rates, very short latency) demonstrate that such an experimental approach is indeed feasible. Our aim is to use asynchronous real-time decoding to study the onset of movement intention and the onset of conscious sensory events. The former will find applications in the study of forward models and in schizophrenia research. The latter can be developed into a novel diagnostic and clinical tool. In both cases we will study the performance of t

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Enabling Large-Scale GMP-ready Peptide Production with a new, reliable and cost-efficient Bioprocess'.

assistant: **Concept**

Peptides, competent biomolecules, have gained increased interest as innovative therapeutics in the pharmaceutical market due to being highly selective, efficacious, relatively safe and well tolerated. Peptide-based drugs have been successfully applied in treating certain human diseases. Well-known example includes insulin, which compromises a peptide that is built to block and control the metabolism of sugar. With the increase of approved peptide-based drugs, the production of peptides will escalate. Yet, peptide manufacture companies (for peptide-based drugs), which need to be compliant with good manufacturing practices (GMP), face a several challenges, the main ones being high production costs on downstream processes (due to the use of high raw material amounts) and bad scalability. Numaferm is a German company founded in 2015 with the mission of making peptides economical for pharmaceutical markets. To tackle current challenges, we have developed two (patented) innovative technologies (NUMAtag and NUMAswitch) whose unique features are not offered by the alternatives in the market for peptide manufacture: cost-efficient production (50x reduction of manufacturing costs, under GMP); environmentally friendly process (reduced carbon foot print by >90%); scalable production (peptide scalability by ton scale with no peptide length limitation), thus enabling a high efficiency upstream and downstream process for peptide manufacture. Through the NUMA-SCALE project we aim to upscale our production and extend our commercial capabilities (by making our processes ready for tech-transfer into GMP facilities of Contract Manufacture Organizations) thus allowing us to seize more business opportunities. This project will have a massive positive impact to Numaferm – will boost our reven
