user: Describe how 'Promoting a Plant Genetic Resource Community for Europe' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Plants are the basis of all food, feed and renewable bioenergy production and are essential for the transition from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy. Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) play a key role in ensuring this transition, as well as food security and climate mitigation. More than 2 million plant accessions are preserved “ex situ” in 410 institutes in Europe and associated countries and listed in the EURISCO database; even more diversity is found “in situ” in European farmlands and wild habitats, where it contributes significantly to agricultural resilience and climate mitigation. Detailed information on “ex situ” accessions is, at best, fragmentary, while for “in situ” accessions it is almost non-existent. A considerable part of these resources could be lost over the coming decade due to limitations in the “ex-situ” infrastructure and management, climate change, habitat loss, and invasive/alien species. The roadmap 2016 of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) identifies a clear gap in the sector “Plant facilities – unlocking green power”, i.e. the lack of a European Research Infrastructure (RI) specifically dedicated to PGRs. PRO-GRACE will undertake the first step to fill this this gap, by developing the concept of a novel (RI) dedicated to the conservation and study of PGRs. The concept will describe the proposed distributed structure, governance, economic plan and scientific services of the proposed RI, and will be the basis for a full proposal at the next ESFRI call. If implemented, this new RI will aim to catalog, describe, preserve and enhance European plant agrobiodiversity, and translate the results into conservation practices and agricultural innovation, and will collaborate with global organizations dedicated to Plant Genetic

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'The Portal for Projects and Communities In the Virtual Organisation Domain' (VE-FORUM).

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of VE-Forum is to provide an integrating portal for all researchers and professionals in the domain of networked businesses and governments in Europe and internationally. It shall give easy access to past and future results in the domain and support communication and collaboration as a virtual community. As such, VE-Forum complements NoEs, IPs, and other projects and promotes Europe's global visibility in the field.The portal will have three main components:- Access to projects, conferences and other events, and news in the domain- A knowledge pool with project results, a refereed journal, relevant references and working papers, and a who is who directory- Collaboration workspaces for discussion forums, workgroups, and intra- and cross-project cooperationAdditionally, the project will facilitate a European research advisory group on networked businesses and governments and link it with the community and general public for idea exchange and feedback. A special concern of VE-Forum is to represent and integrate the different sub-communities in the European Research Area (ERA) and facilitate community cooperation and exchange of experience and expertise. The project is an instrument to incubate a self-sustaining community, which shall be based on the principles of voluntary professional associations and academic communities.The role of the consortium is to activate the community and facilitate self-organisation. Project-progress is therefore measured as the capability to attract members, and to marshal additional revenues and contributions to the portal already during the EU-funded period for smooth transition after project end.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Excitonic quasiparticles in Titania' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Innovation**

Although titanium dioxide (TiO2) is widely employed in fields like photovoltaics and photocatalysis, the nature of its fundamental charge transfer excitations is still unknown. A deep understanding of the excitonic properties of TiO2 is of high relevance to achieve major advances in the aforementioned fields and may lead to the fabrication of new devices with enhanced performance in energy conversion applications.In this research proposal we address three important aspects of the excitonic nature of TiO2, which have been raised by recent experiments and whose investigation requires exhaustive  theoretical efforts. The first aspect is related to an observed anomaly in the temperature dependence of the excitons in both the rutile and anatase polymorphs of TiO2. The dependence of elementary excitations with temperature is a main subject in condensed matter physics, and its study provides crucial information on the quantum many-body interaction and correlation. The second aspect is about the interplay between charge transfer excitons and coherent phonons in TiO2. The experiments indicate again an unexpected behaviour of the semiconductor material in this respect. Finally, we aim to study the q-dispersion of the excitons, which will provide insightful knowledge on how these quasi particles propagates throughout the crystal.The recurrent anomalous behaviour of TiO2 makes it an even more fascinating material than it is already considered, and its study could broaden its field of applicability in unimaginable ways. With this proposal, we intend to pave the wave for an exciting future of this versatile semiconductor, using state-of-the-art theoretical calculations in close collaboration with researchers conducting advanced spectroscopy measurements.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'A Long Way to a New Cosmology: Theories of Tides in Pre-Modern Thought'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project offers the first comprehensive study of pre-modern engagement with the relatively neglected yet highly problematic natural phenomenon of tides. It argues that the flow and ebb effect was an essential component of cosmological discussions in pre-modern Europe and attracted the attention of all major scholars whom we currently associate with the so-called Scientific Revolution. The competition amongst prominent thinkers involved in the study of astronomy and mathematics left its mark on a considerable number of works on tides, while the contesting solutions were believed to constitute a valid argument in favor of the respective cosmological theories. This also implies that the issue of determining the flow and ebb of water formed part of a larger discourse that went beyond strict mathematization of natural knowledge and reflected, on a more general level, a peculiar understanding of the cosmos and all it contains. Furthermore, the project makes an addition to a field of study that has been burgeoning in past years considering the current climate crisis. Several studies have recently devoted attention to pre-modern reflections on nature, especially with regard to various types of calamities. Despite not being considered a disaster because of their recurring and predictable character, tides were nonetheless seen as potentially devastating if not controlled and properly understood. Although inevitably put in relation with a discourse of the Flood, tidal accounts were largely devoid of metaphysical features, instead seeking out plausible mechanistic interpretations of the motion of water. At the same time, contrary to what has been suggested in scholarship, establishing the origin of tides was never regarded as a mere physico-mathematical exercise, but generally

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Pathogenetic pathways in age-related neurodegenerations as novel therapeutic targets for Parkinson’s disease'.

assistant: **Concept**

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder (after Alzheimer's) associated with oxidative stress and aging, and affects an estimated 1% of people worldwide over 60 years of age. The pathogenetic triggers of neurodegenerations are largely unknown. Current therapeutic interventions only partially alleviate symptoms and do not restore normal neuronal function or prevent progressive neurodegenerations. Identifying novel molecular targets and searching for therapeutic agents that block neurodegeneration and promote neuronal restoration is a key challenge in the field. I and the Host have together identified 51 candidate genetic loci associated with age-related neurodegenerations in PD model and PD patients, respectively. These candidate genes are evolutionarily conserved in both vertebrate and invertebrate animals. I hypothesize that some of these genes, via an evolutionarily conserved signal transduction pathway, alleviate the oxidative stress in the dopaminergic neurons and protect them against degeneration. This project combines my (C. elegans genetics) and Host (cell-based PD models) expertise to identify new genetic pathways that mediate protection against neurodegenerations during oxidative stress and aging. I expect that achieved goals of the proposal will be important discovery that should lead to novel therapeutic targeting for Parkinson’s disease, and other neurodegenerative proteinopathies. My long-term goal is to become an independent scientist and establish lab to find novel therapeutic targets and strategies for the diseases associated with oxidative stress, including PD. Gained research experience together with improving my teaching, mentoring and management skills during this fellowship will help me to achieve my goals and tr

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Indigenous Climate Change Impacts Observation Network' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The Local Indicators of Climate Change Impacts project (771056-LICCI-ERC-2017-COG) explores the potential of Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) to contribute to climate research, but only tangentially addresses the marginalized position faced by Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLC) to bring their knowledge and perspectives to climate change research and policy fora. This PoC will bring IPLC knowledge and perspectives to climate change research and policy fora by 1) engage with IPLC on the co-design of a digital Indigenous Climate Change Impacts Observation Network (ICCION) and 2) engaging with the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP) of the UNFCCC, which has the mandate to strengthen IPLC knowledge and efforts related to addressing and responding to climate change. ICCION holds social, political, and technological innovative potential. The creation of an Indigenous Climate Change Impacts Observation Network is an innovative response to the IPCC call for more ground level data, as it will bring expand the geographical and temporal coverage of data collection on local indicators of climate change impacts. Moreover, partnering with IPLC and international organizations constitutes an important social innovation, as these alliances might facilitate the process of establishing a continuous, iterative, and bidirectional dialogue that foster IPLC effective participation in climate change science-policy fora. Finally, ICCION innovates in developing technological solutions to address technical (i.e., low internet access) and social concerns (i.e., Indigenous data sovereignty) that are of particular relevance for IPLC, but which have often been neglected in other technological developments.The long-term establishment of the observation network pro

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'New coatings deposited by PACVD for corrosion protection' (MATECO) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

This project has been designed so as to develop smart multifunctional coatings based on [Si-O-N] materials. These coating will be deposited by PACVD process coupled with microwaves. The coatings prepared will combine corrosion resistance and tribology, dec orative and anti-sticking properties. Developing such a kind of material is only possible if fundamental knowledge on materials and associated coating process is gained. Therefore, the global objectives of this project are : -To develop, understand and cha racterise new materials related to the [Si-O-N] ternary system. -To manufacture coatings with these new materials using a new PACVD process coupled with microwaves. -To develop, understand and characterise new coatings made with these materials. To design coatings suitable to achieve the properties expected, studies and development will be carried out at each stage: -Substrate surface improvement (mechanical or plasma-assisted preparations). An understanding of the corrosion phenomena on various substrates will be carried out. -Choice and preparation of the materials for coating. -Study, design and optimisation of PACVD process. The objectives are clearly to improve the deposition rate and to deposit in the same PACVD equipment anti-corrosion and DLC coating s. Theoretical modelling of the coating processes (parameters and plasma) and the designing & testing of new reactors to improve the coating process in terms of deposition rate, homogeneity of the coatings, thickness will constitute the core of the wor k on the process. -Coating understanding. A complete characterisation will allow the correlation between properties and coatings. The coatings developed will be validated by CRF, EADS, HEF and TEFAL for automotive, aeronautic and household appliances. The MATECO p

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Circadian Clock Gating of the Shade Avoidance Response Optimises Plant Fitness'.

assistant: **Innovation**

As arable land becomes scarcer and the human population continues to grow, we need to focus our efforts on increasing yield. The goal is to rethink agriculture to ensure food security. One way to do so is to lower yield loss due to light limitation by neighbouring shade or high-density planting. Phytochrome (phy) photoreceptors play a critical role in plant survival under vegetation shade conditions, by initiating a switch to a shade avoidance response (SAR) growth strategy. Although SAR reconfigures overall architecture for optimal light capture, it results in elongation of growth of stem-like tissue, at the expense of harvestable organs. Central to this adaptive response is an interaction between the plant's internal circadian clock and the phy pathways which restricts or gates the response to dusk. As the clock was previously shown to have a general role in optimising fitness, this proposal will establish whether circadian gating of SAR confers a fitness advantage and delineate the underlying molecular mechanisms that link the clock to altered leaf cellular responses under SAR. Bioluminescence reporters, optogenetic tools and the PS-plant 3D imaging platform will enable the capture of dynamical data from molecular to whole plant levels. Further, pennycress, a novel oilseed crop and a close relative of Arabidopsis will be developed as a model to facilitate the direct translation of novel findings in this proposal, to increase plant fitness and yield to this new crop species.
