user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Lyric Authority: Editing and Rewriting Dante’s Lyric Poetry (14th – 16th c.)' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Dante’s worldwide reception and the construction of his figure as an Author (auctor&auctoritas, i.e., “creator” and “cultural authority”) have been traditionally explored from the point of view of his masterpiece, the Commedia, and of its commentaries, illustrations, and translations. And yet, Dante’s status results from a longue durée process in which his lyric poetry plays a major part in its own right. LyrA will explore the physical act of copying, editing, and printing Dante’s lyric poetry from the 14th to the early 16th century in Italy through the study of multi-text and multi-author volumes, both manuscripts and early printed editions. In the history of Dante’s poems’ circulation and reception, a field in itself of significant scholarly debate, the crucial function of editors and anthologists has been neglected. LyrA addresses this omission, expanding our knowledge of the cultural heritage bequeathed by Dante and in his name. It will explore the ways in which ‘national poets’ are born through editing and rewriting, and how major authors influence cultural development. The prints and manuscripts to be explored have mainly been treated as containers of texts in terms of textual transmission, rather than being examined as textual objects with an independent semantic value. Likewise, we lack entirely an analysis of the cultural interactions between different Italian regions in the canonization of Dante as lyric poet, and thus as an auctoritas, in particular the interaction between Tuscany and the Veneto. LyrA is notable for its interdisciplinary methodology, using material philology alongside textual criticism, literary history and criticism, codicology, and book history. Indeed, the analysis of the material features of books offers a fresh perspective from which to

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Supporting transnational mobility within the European life sciences by cofunding of the EMBO Fellowship Programme'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The EMBO Fellowship Programme supports transnational mobility and scientific exchange in all areas of the life sciences. Renowned for its commitment to scientific excellence, the programme has funded thousands of talented early career scientists since its establishment in the 1960s. EMBO Long-Term Fellowships support advanced research and training by awarding funds to postdoctoral scientists for research visits between European countries or when justified worldwide. Since 2001, the number of applications for EMBO Fellowships has more than doubled, creating a situation in which the number of excellent proposals exceeded the available budget. To be able to meet the continous high demand for postdoctoral training in the life sciences EMBO is applying to the 2013 COFUND call. Cofunding will enable EMBO to improve fellowship conditions and also increase the number of transnational fellowships.  Cofunding of EMBO Long-Term Fellowships will therefore not only allow selected fellows to enjoy the benefits and high prestige of an EMBO Fellowship – co-funded by a Marie Curie Action – but will also promote the further development of the European Research Area.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Regenerable active polyelectrolyte nanofiltration membranes for water reuse and metal/acid recovery' (LbLBRANE) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The shortage of drinking water in many regions on the planet constitutes a real problem and hazard. The use of seawater, brackish water and wastewater for human consumption is not a new concept. In spite of the success of membrane technology in water reclamation, membrane separation systems suffer from a serious problem: membrane fouling. The main downside is an inevitabe increase in operation and maintenance costs as well as an adverse effect on the lifespan of the membrane (harsh cleaning treatment). LbLBRANE is an ambitious project ensuring competent input right from the membrane concept down to lab-scale production and optimisation before scaling-up in pilot plants for end users. LbLBRANE applies novel nanotechnology tools, namely the layer-by-layer (LbL) technology to develop a versatile and generic procedure for the fast fabrication of low-cost, stable, chemical-resistant  polyelectrolyte membranes.  The LbL technology is the way to go for a bottom-up nano-engineered membrane whereby the modification is performed stepwise in a controlled manner - the thickness can be finely tuned by the number of layers deposited, the architecture of the film can be compartmentalised by incorporating functional species (polyelectrolyte as well as nanoparticles with specific functions, such as antibacterial properties) and the morphology of the film can be modulated via the pH, charge density and type of polyelectrolyte pairs to create pore size (hence permeability) tailored according to the specific need of the membranes. Our concern is focused towards high performance, regenerable membranes which could be cleaned in-situ and hybrid membranes with extremely high flux with high permselectivity and mechanical robustness. The ultimate aim is towards implementation of LbL on large ind

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Moving Archaeological Knowledge Away from Neo-colonialism'.

assistant: **Concept**

The history of archaeology is tightly intertwined with colonialism. The archaeological rediscovery of ancient Middle Eastern civilizations, in particular, coincided, from the mid-19th century, with the process of colonial appropriation of the Ottoman Empire. For over two centuries the Middle East has been a resource both for ancient materials, enriching major Western collections, and for historical antecedents, and has itself remained disciplinarily excluded from the recovery of its own Past. Well after the acquisition of formal national independence by many countries colonial archaeology seems to have been followed, not by national, but by neo-colonial archaeological practices. In Egyptian Archaeology colonial rule resulted in a rigid exclusion of the local community, recreated by each subsequent generation of archaeologists, of all nationalities including Egyptian. The challenge of giving the local communities a primary role in developing and disseminating archaeological knowledge is of the outmost importance for the decolonization of Egyptology. Their involvement would end a traditional exclusion of local communities from their own Past and the Western control of knowledge. The MAKAN project objectives are:-to construct a self-critical history of Egyptian Archaeology, from the study of its formative phase and of so-called Neo-colonial Archaeology-to evaluate current strategies and proposing new approaches to the issue of the Decolonization of Egyptology, along the path of the World Archaeological Congress-the analysis of possible venues for the local community re-appropriation of its own Past, investigating whether local and distant museums can be accessible spaces for community expression and exchange-to implement a multi-site ethnography, designed from Petrie Museu

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Fully RoHS Compliant Infrared Light Emitting Diodes Based on Novel Lead-free Quantum Dots' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Infrared light-emitting diodes (IR-LEDs) serve a broad range of applications including fiber-optic communications, night vision as well as clinical diagnosis and biomedical imaging. Within the family of nanomaterials, colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) offer exceptional promises for IR-LEDs due to their unique optical properties and low-cost solution-processability. So far, state-of-the-art QD IR-LEDs are based on lead-containing QDs, which has been severely restricted by the environmental directives e.g. EU’s “Restriction of Hazardous Substances” (RoHS). In fact, current challenges of IR-LED technology are to identify and develop novel and efficient lead-free QDs. INFLED aims at demonstrating the first RoHS-compliant and efficient QD IR-LED based on innovative and environmentally friendly material design and device engineering. The project targets the most efficient heavy metal-free infrared QD using a novel synthesis technique as well as rationally nanoengineering at material level. Furthermore, the resultant design at device level will lead to low trap state density, high solid-state quantum efficiency and thereby efficient LEDs. Hence, the key objectives of this proposal are: i) a novel QD synthesis method; ii) material design at nanocrystalline level; iii) LED device engineering at supra-nanocrystalline level. INFLED is at the crossroad of chemistry, physics and engineering, and therefore is expected to attract significant attention from different disciplines along with offering new insights toward next-generation infrared and quantum network technology.

user: Explain how 'Coupling dimerisation and metathesis reactions to produce propene from ethanol using heterogeneous catalysts and microreactor systems' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Biomass-derived molecules contain excess oxygen that must be removed to render as fuel or chemicals. Due to feedstock fluctuations, ethanol and ethene are becoming key components to overcome these challenges. Given the current bioethanol (fermentation) and ethene (crackers) excess, and the propene shortage in Europe, alternative routes are required. During the outgoing phase under the supervision of Prof. Iglesia at UC Berkeley (USA), the researcher Dr. Iker Agirrezabal-Telleria will address the fundamental mechanistic aspects of dimerisation and metathesis reactions from ethanol to propene operating at low-temperature and studying the individual parameters using multidisciplinary approaches. This will include spectroscopic (in-situ UV-VIS and FTIR ) and isotopic techniques to elucidate the contribution and role of active metals for dimerisation (Ni), isomerisation (H+) and metathesis (Re, Mo). The optimised catalysts will be tested during the return phase under the supervision of Prof. Arias at the University of the Basque Country (Spain) using engineering approaches. Catalyst slurry and formulations will be prepared to test them on microreactor systems. The microreactors will be coated during a secondment period under the supervision of Prof. Kolb at Fraunhofer ICT-IMM (Germany). This phase aims to achieve process intensification and reduce heat-transfer issues occurring in packed-bed reactors. The comparison between fixed-bed and microreactors will enable to obtain interdisciplinary inputs to produce propene from ethanol.      This Fellowship aims to carry out cutting-edge scientific training and transferable skill training such as project management, relevant for the re-integration period and to become an independent research leader in Europe.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Fundamental mechanisms of apoptosis/cell death regulation in normal and cancer cells.' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The general objective of this program is to understand the principal mechanisms governing apoptosis or programmed cell depth, both in normal cells and in cancer cells, to unravel differences in physiology and pathology of cell death regulation, and to design novel strategies for the correction of disease-associated imbalances in cell death regulation. In particular, we are interested in understanding how cancer cells become apoptosis resistant and how this resistance can be overcome. A consortium of 11 leading research teams from 7 different countries will identify and characterize novel cell death inducing or cell death inhibitory pathways via a multidisciplinary approach integrating advanced technologies of Molecular and Cellular Biology. In addition, the group will monitor cancer cells for alterations in such cell death modulator pathways, and manipulate them to kill chemotherapy-resistant tumour cells.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Interfaces in opto-electronic thin film multilayer devices'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Development of new materials over the past decade paved the way for organic/hybrid electronics into commercial applications. Now, perfection of material interfaces in organic/hybrid thin-film devices is key to drive the technology further and enable new, more advanced applications. INFORM offers a paradigm shift from focusing on materials to focusing on devices by probing, modelling and controlling relevant processes that take place at interfaces, e.g. charge transfer, injection and collection. By training researchers in this exciting, highly multidisciplinary area, INFORM contributes to the need for skilled, knowledgeable researchers in the field of multilayer thin-film devices in Europe. INFORM will generate fundamental insights and apply them to improve the performance and reliability of relevant devices that will allow INFORM’s industrial partners to grow their markets and take full advantage of the low-temperature, low-cost and large-area processing potential of new generation semiconductors. The challenges are wide-ranging and thus require a cross-European, multidisciplinary, intersectorial and multifaceted approach. The INFORM network consists of partners with complementary skills and toolboxes, including 9 academic groups fully equipped, experienced and knowledgeable in multilayer device research and supervision. The involvement of 4 non-academic partners at the highest level, through supervision of 2 ESRs and secondments, ensures ESR exposure to the industrial workplace and simultaneously provides benefits to the non-academic partners. Complementary training activities in personal skills (e.g writing and communicating), is given by a specialist partner. The combination of high level research and intense training endows the ESRs with multidisciplinary know-how a

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project '“Causes and consequences of pluripotency gene regulatory network member heterogeneity”'.

assistant: **Objectives**

How stem cell populations balance the opposing forces of self-renewal and differentiation to maintain a functional population is a question that strikes at the heart of what it means to be a stem cell. Undifferentiated embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity is maintained by transcription factors (TFs) of the pluripotency gene regulatory network (PGRN) centred on the TFs Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog. ESCs with high levels of Nanog self-renew efficiently while ESCs with low Nanog levels are prone to differentiate. Therefore, the observed heterogeneous expression of some PGRN components, in particular Nanog, is likely to be important for simultaneous maintenance of self-renewal and facilitation of differentiation, thereby sustaining functional pluripotency. In this proposal I will unravel mechanisms establishing heterogeneity and characterise the role of Nanog in generating ESC heterogeneity. By determining chromatin binding dependencies between TFs and by using a novel approach to identify functional cis-elements that mediate Nanog action, these studies will illuminate mechanisms regulating ESC phenotype. The hypothesis that pluripotency is generated by heterogeneity in PGRN component expression, that then generates an ESC population in which single cells have distinct intrinsic probabilities for differentiation into specific cell types will be tested. Interfering with PGRN component function locus-specifically using a high efficiency genome engineering strategy, will explore a new method to influence cell-fate. Together, the proposed innovative experiments aim to increase the understanding of the causes and consequences of PGRN component heterogeneity and the regulation of pluripotency that may be of relevance to other stem cell systems. The results will have important implications

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Major research infrastructure of wl/delft hydraulics' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Description:WL | Delft Hydraulics' experimental facilities are among the largest and best equipped in the world. They permit projects ranging from fundamental research on hydrodynamics and morphology in rivers, estuaries, coastal zones and seas to applied research on breakwaters, components of offshore platforms, pipelines and dredging equipment. Access is provided to the following unique experimental facilities: The almost 100 m long Sand flume, which is well suited for the study of river hydromorphological aspects. This facility is unique for its sediment handling system which enables a continuous flow of water with a specified amount of suspended sediment with a specific grain size distribution. The 130 m long Tidal flume, which can be considered as a schematised estuary. Tide, fresh water discharge, salinity, silt and oxygen concentration can be controlled at its boundaries, which is unique in Europe. Both a tidal flow and wind waves can be generated. The Rotating annular flume and complementary facilities are well suited to carry out detailed studies on the various processes which cohesive sediments undergo in fresh and salty waters, including the direct measurement of bottom shear stress. This facility is unique for its hydraulic loads, its instrumentation and the possibility to carry out tests with bio-chemical or polluted sediments in a temperature controlled environment.The Oscillating water tunnel, which can be used to investigate the influence of oscillatory flow on the behaviour of bed material on scale 1:1. Tests can be performed with either random or periodic wave conditions, as well as combined flow and wave action, which is unique for its scale and accuracy of hydraulic conditions.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Systems biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis'.

assistant: **Concept**

Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging global health threat caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). One third of the world's population is infected with Mtb and new infections occur at a rate of one per second. Despite global research efforts, mechanisms underlying pathogenesis, virulence and persistence of Mtb infection remain poorly understood. Simple reductionist approaches are insufficient to understand its complex biology. The grand goal of the SysteMTb project is to establish a Systems Biology framework to understand key features of Mtb and its interactions with the host which, in turn, will provide new insights and a solid (model based) knowledge for the development of novel and cost-effective strategies to combat tuberculosis. To achieve this, SysteMTb will: i) generate and integrate quantitative data sets of Mtb (e.g. transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, structural genomics, lipidomics, glycomics) alone, or in the presence of host macrophages, ii) develop computer models at different appropriate levels of system complexity with emphasis on metabolism, regulatory networks and transcription regulation, and iii) identify new possible targets for therapeutic intervention based on computer modelling. The combination of these approaches will provide a rational framework to understand mycobacterial physiology during infection and to identify essential nodes that are optimal for effective therapeutic interventions.
