user: Describe how 'Inquiries Into a Different Kind of Mind' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Mammals and birds evolved vastly different forebrains. While mammals have a cortex and can reach large brain weights, bird brains are very small and are constituted by seemingly homogeneous nuclear clusters. These glaring anatomical differences cast a dim prospect on avian cognition. However, the last years showed that several avian taxa are cognitively on par with apes and show abilities like planning, theory-of-mind, and mirror-self-recognition. How is that possible? Our inability to answer this question yet, shows that we still are far away from properly understanding the link between brain structure and cognitive functions in generic ways. To gain deeper insights into these issues, we should dare to study in depth non-standard model animals. I therefore propose to conduct a detailed neurocognitive analysis of executive cognition, memory, and consciousness in pigeons. I hypothesise that despite major macroscopic differences, the pallial cognitive network of birds is highly similar to that of mammals while their memory systems differ. To test this hypothesis, I will combine behavioural analyses, fMRI, single unit recording, and optogenetics to characterize the neural mechanisms of cognition, consciousness, and memory in pigeons. I aim to: 1) reveal the pallial network for the three executive functions: inhibition, cognitive flexibility, and working memory and will subsequently search for an avian equivalent of the default mode and executive network.2) identify an avian pallial associative area for movement intentions.3) examine if avian associative neurons code high dimensional event representations.  4) test if birds have evolved a non-spatial memory system that is independent of hippocampus.5) and investigate if pigeons show signatures of consciousness akin to prima

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Photonic Integrated Comb Source: An Economic Feasibility Study' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Optical telecommunication networks are being put under huge strain by the rise in mobile video, video-on-demand and other  bandwidth intensive services. New disruptive innovations are needed to avoid the impending 'capacity crunch' that that has the potential to affect the growth of the Internet with knock-on adverse effects for the European and global economy and society.Optical Frequency Comb Sources represent one such disruptive innovation. Optical Frequency Combs allow new modulation techniques to be used that increase the data carrying capacity and spectral efficiency of these networks.The benefits of Optical Frequency Combs are well known, but to date no-one has figured out a cost-efficient means to employ them in network equipment. Pilot Photonics Ltd., an Irish SME has licensed a suite of intellectual property around Optical Frequency Combs that has the potential to disrupt the market and displace the single mode lasers that have been used in long haul optical transport equipment for two decades.The intellectual property offers two capabilities: The cost-effective generation of a suitable optical comb, and the cost-efficient demultiplexing of that optical comb for modulation. Both techniques are suitable for photonic integration and can be fabricated using foundry compatible processes, enhancing their viability greatly. The comb generation technique is currently being marketed in bench-top form factor, while integrated prototypes have been produced. The demultiplexing concept has been proven in both bench-top experiments and in photonic integrated circuits. The innovation is in their combination to create value beyond the sum of the parts.The PICOMB project will examine the economic feasibility of this disruptive innovation, through detailed interaction with pot

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Dynamic Infrastructures and Resilient Communities: a Systemic Approach to Wildfire Risk Mitigation and Adaptation', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

In response to the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires, RESILFIRE addresses the urgent need to enhance the resilience of interdependent power and communication infrastructures in wildfire-prone regions. With global warming projected to intensify, especially in areas like California and Mediterranean Europe, wildfire risks have escalated, causing significant socio-economic disruptions. This project aims to fill critical research gaps using a systemic approach to develop a Fire Sociotechnical Model that integrates P&C infrastructures with social inequalities, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of wildfire on vulnerable communities. By combining wildfire spread models, real infrastructure data, and spatial analysis of social inequalities, the project will propose a new dynamic infrastructure design procedure. This aims at implementing interventions to improve robustness, redundancy, and flexibility of the networks to extend their functionality during heatwaves and wildfires emergencies. Ensuring continuity of service is crucial to reduce impact on mental and physical health and to timely mobilize evacuees. The project will validate these models and procedures simulating several wildfire scenarios on relevant case studies, fostering cross-regional applicability. RESILFIRE will deliver actionable outcomes, including a wildfire adaptive resilience assessment method that accounts for the variability of resources in the recovery phase. The results will be presented through user-friendly web tools documenting the case studies, and a virtual reality environment. By addressing the interactions between infrastructure performance and social inequality, RESILFIRE aims to set new benchmarks for wildfire risk mitigation and climate adaptation across

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'EDI-NET – The Energy Data Innovation Network; using smart meter data, campaigns and networking to increase the capacity of public authorities to implement sustainable energy policy' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The Energy Data Innovation Network (EDI-Net) will use smart energy and water meter data to accelerate the implementation of sustainable energy policy.  It will do this by increasing the capacity of EU public authorities to act quickly and decisively. The capacity will be increased by the provision of just the right amount of intelligible information, by training and exchange of experiences of Public authorities and by provision of tools and support to implement and monitor their sustainable energy plans. To move beyond the traditional technical energy manager approach to use the information to engage with decision makers, finance mangers and building users.  To make energy more “visible”. To make energy and water date “more exciting” to buildings users.  Innovation in terms of using big data analytics to address issues at scale. Big data; thousands of EU public buildings; information for decision makers, finance managers and building users; benchmarking of EU public buildings; and monitoring implementation of Sustainable Energy Action Plans or local Climate Protection Plans.The core of EDI-NET is the analysis of smart meter data from buildings, from renewable energy systems and from building energy management systems (BEMS) using Big Data analytics technologies. The attractive fruit around this core is an online forum to spread knowledge and facilitate exchange of experience and best practice through peer to peer education in a friendly and useful way. The tree that supports and ripens the fruit is the existing European network of Climate Alliance that builds the capacity of EU public authorities to more effectively implement sustainable energy policies.  We recognise the smart meter data, by themselves, will not implement sustainable energy policy. However, when combin

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Theoretical study of the interaction of nucleotides with Mz+-montmorillonite clay. On the understanding of the possible role of mineral clays in the origin of life' (ROSSIOL-XSM) targeting Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The formation of biological macromolecules such as polypeptides and DNA on the early Earth required the polymerization of their respective single components, aminoacids or nucleotides.Biological polemirerizations (both formation of phosphodiester and peptide bonds) occurs through dehydration, so that it is hard to conceive that it took place in a rich water environment, like the one of the primordial ocean. It is in this respect that the role played by mineral surfaces became crucial, because of their ability to bound biological molecules (aminoacids and nucleotides) to the active sites exposed at their surfaces.Indeed, in recent years it has been shown that the synthesis and polymerization of various biochemical monomers have been obtained in presence of clay minerals. The present project pretends to study the role as possible catalysts of these mineral surfaces (specially the silica-based ones) in the synthesis of polypeptides from a theoretical point of view. In particular, we will focus on the effects in the synthesis of biological molecules caused by the presence alkaline and alkali-earth cations in montmorillonite.That is we will study in a first step the structure of this clay material and after that the interaction of nucleotide groups (phosphate, sugar ring and RNA base) with the clay surface and the metal cation. To achieve the defined objectives full DFT periodic calculations will be mainly used to characterize geometry and electronic structures and spectroscopy properties.In addition to this, periodic molecular dynamics will be also used to study the evolution of the systems with time. This latter approach has never been used by Xavier Solans Monfort and it is of great interest for his scientific formation.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Intercomparison of radiobiological effects of epithermal neutron beams for neutron capture therapy of cancer' (1998-2002).

assistant: **Innovation**

Several countries in the European Community have active programs in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) of cancer. Also in tee USA, two institutions carry out clinical trials. BNCT has long been pursued in Japan. Recently, modern sources for BNCT have been designed or constructed in Europe and in other countries. In order to put these into service for treating patients, information is required concerning the effect of the neutron beam on healthy issue. In this measure, information on the physical properties and radiobiological effects of the neutron sources will be intercom pared. A predictive tool for new neutron sources is to be developed. With a predictive tool, the time lag between finalizing a neutron source and making use of it for treatment of patient's migtht hereby be shortened, for the benefit of patients suffering from cancer.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Europort dissemination and demonstration' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The project focuses on the application of previously parallelised codes to real industrial and commercial problems. The experience gained through this and in the EUROPORT porting activity will be used as the basis for an ambitious and wide-ranging dissemination campaign aimed at convincing industrial and commercial endusers that HPCN is a relevant technology. This campaign will emphasise the real business benefits and competitive advantage which HPCN can provide in many industrial sectors. The project builds on the results of the highly successful EUROPORT-1 and EUROPORT-2 projects in which some 38 industrially and commercially relevant codes were ported to parallel architectures with striking results. Ten so-called deployment sub-projects have been selected from a variety of areas including such diverse applications as cartoon animation and fire and explosion simulation. Within each of these sub-projects a parallelised code will be deployed into an end-user organisation and the effectiveness of the new technology measured, using metrics focused on the end-user's business. http://www.gmd.de/SCAI/europort/

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'European Risk from Geomagnetically Induced Currents'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC), occurring during magnetic storms, pose a natural disaster risk to the reliable operation of electric power transmission grids, a European critical infrastructure as defined by the Council Directive 2008/114/EC.The EURISGIC project will produce the first European-wide real-time prototype forecast service of GIC in power systems, based on in-situ solar wind observations and comprehensive simulations of the Earth's magnetosphere. By utilising geomagnetic recordings, we will also derive the first map of the statistical risk of large GIC throughout Europe. Because the most intense geomagnetic storms constitute the most remarkable threat, with a risk of power grid blackouts and destruction of transformers, we will also investigate worst-case GIC scenarios based on historical data. EURISGIC will exploit the knowledge and advanced modelling methods developed in Europe and North America. Close communication throughout the project with a stakeholder advisory group will help in directing the research and outreach appropriately. The results of this study will help in the future design of more robust and secure protection against GIC in power transmission grids in Europe, which are anticipated to become increasingly interconnected and geographically wider.GIC are observed in power transmission grids, oil and gas pipelines, telecommunication cables and railways. This project focuses on high-voltage power transmission networks, which are probably currently the most susceptible to GIC effects. Geomagnetic storms cover large geographical regions, at times the whole globe. Consequently, power networks are rightly described as being European critical infrastructures whose disruption or destruction would have a significant impact on at least two memb

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'AFR - Postdoctoral Grants (Luxembourg)' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

On 1st October 2008, the law reforming the former national PhD and postdoctoral grant scheme BFR (Bourses Formation-Recherche) under the new title of Aides à la Formation-Recherche (AFR) entered into force. While the BFR scheme has so far been managed by the Ministry of Research, the future AFR grant scheme will be managed by the National Research Fund (FNR).The AFR grant scheme comprises two activities: the funding of PhD grants (AFR-PhD) and the funding of postdoctoral grants (AFR-PD). In this document, when using AFR, both schemes are meant; otherwise the text will refer to AFR-PD.The main objectives of the future AFR grants are:- to attract promising researchers into Luxembourg and promote their integration into the Luxembourg R&D environment,- to enlarge the national R&D base by increasing the number of PhD and postdoc researchers emphasizing the national R&D priority domains,- to promote the AFR scheme in Luxembourg and abroad,- to promote the mobility of researchers in general,- to improve working conditions for researchers in Luxembourg by introducing work contracts for the grantees wherever possible,- to ensure a high scientific/technological quality of projects carried out within the AFR framework, by an evaluation and selection based primarily on scientific quality, and a follow-up of the AFR grantees and their projects,-to create a network of AFR beneficiaries,- to promote public/private partnerships- to ensure professional management of the AFR scheme within the National Research Fund.While it was not possible under the former BFR scheme to complement a PhD grant with a postdoc grant, which was clearly a deficit in terms of career building, the reformed AFR scheme allows this cumulation under the condition that the AFR-PD project is carried out in a differe

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Automated design of robust digital controllers' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Innovation**

Certain processes in today's industrial applications require more sophisticated control techniques than traditional analogue controllers can provide. Additionally parameter uncertainties of the processes are to be respected.  Robust digital controllers are able to comply with these demands. Yet, current design procedures are time-intensive and unsuitable for application in industry.  The purpose of the project is to provide a more user-friendly design procedure for robust digital controllers in order to render their outstanding features more accessible for industrial applications. The theoretical aspect of the project consists of the optimisation of t different design steps (from identification to real-time control) of robust digital controllers. A qualified state-of-the-art analysis including several international benchmark competitions and real-time experiments yield useful information for significant improvement of the controller synthesis steps. Based on these results more efficient algorithms are to be developed.  The practical part of the project includes the implementation of the algorithms in a software programme and their validation in experiments in order to prepare their introduction in industry.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Wound induced electrical signals in Arabidopsis thaliana'.

assistant: **Concept**

Electrical phenomena in plants were first documented in the 1800s, yet progress in this area has been slow. There is evidence that most plants produce electrical signals that travel long distances within the plant. This electrical activity is triggered by biotic and abiotic stimuli, supporting the notion that excitability is a robust biological trait in plants. Major objectives of this project are to characterize waveform parameters (e.g. duration, amplitude) as well as dynamic parameters (e.g. velocity) of electrical signals induced by wounding in Arabidopsis thaliana. To this end, we will develop a technique that uses aphid stylets severed from feeding aphids with a highly focused radio-frequency pulse. With this approach we will register single electrical signals that travel along the phloem, a major site of electrical activity. These intracellular recordings will be paired with surface recordings obtained simultaneously for the same signals. Wounds will be inflicted with a collimated laser beam, an approach that does not mechanically disturb the plant and is therefore suitable for electrophysiology, while allowing controlling location and size of the wound. Laser wounding induces an electrical signal similar in waveform and duration to that induced by mechanical wounding (crushing). Both wounding methods dramatically increase expression of JAZ10, a jasmonate response gene that is commonly used as a marker of the wound response. The wound-induced electrical signal will be also investigated in loss-of-function mutant plants that either do not produce the jasmonate response (aos mutant) or that do not respond to jasmonate (coi1-1 mutant). Whether aphid infestation remodels the wound-induced electrical signal will also be tested. This is an interdisciplinary project tha
