user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'The Silent Phase of Alzheimer’s Disease: From Brain States to Homeostatic Failures' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Neuronal circuits must balance stability and plasticity. How this balance is compromised in brain disorders remains one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience. Pioneering studies in the field established that homeostatic mechanisms stabilize the function of a system at a set-point level of activity. Recently, we have identified bona fide mitochondrial regulator of activity set points and provided support to our standing hypothesis that homeostatic failures destabilize network activity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, we have just scratched the surface of the mechanisms stabilizing activity set points in vivo. I propose a conceptual and experimental framework to identify the cellular-molecular and circuit-wide in vivo mechanisms underlying stability of hippocampal circuits across distinct brain states and stability-plasticity balance. Using a wide range of optical, electrophysiological, computational and molecular tools, we will explore homeostatic regulation of activity in hippocampal circuitry, a crucial substrate for memory formation, and its relation to AD. First, we will establish governing principles of homeostatic regulation in physiological context of sleep and learning. Next, we will explore the underlying molecular drivers of homeostatic regulation. Finally, we will test the causal relationship between dyshomeostasis of activity in hippocampal circuits, sleep disturbances and cognitive decline in AD models. To target these questions, we will utilize the basic concepts of control theory and an integrative approach which spans brain-state, neural circuit, synaptic and molecular levels. We believe that this understanding is an essential step to uncover the principle basis underlying the transition from a presymptomatic disease stage to clinically e

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Exploring the isotopic dimension of the global mercury cycle' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Mass-independent fractionation (MIF) of isotopes in terrestrial geochemical processes was first observed in 1983 for oxygen and in 2000 for sulfur isotopes. Recently mercury (Hg) was added to this shortlist when isotopic anomalies were observed for Hg s two odd isotopes, 199Hg and 201Hg in biological tissues. The objective of the MERCURY ISOTOPES project is to take Hg MIF beyond the initial discovery, and use it to address major outstanding scientific questions of societal and philosophical interest. Similar to the profound insights that carbon and oxygen isotope systematics have brought to climate research, we propose to use variations in Hg isotopic compositions to fingerprint natural and anthropogenic sources, quantify isotope fractionation processes, and provide new constraints on models of mercury cycling.The MERCURY ISOTOPES project centres on the use of mercury MIF to understand global Hg dynamics at different time scales, from the Pleistocene to modern times. Three main themes will be investigated: 1. the modern Hg cycle focusing on Asian urban-industrial emissions related to coal burning, 2. recent atmospheric Hg deposition in the Arctic, recent Arctic Ocean Hg records from archived biological tissues, and post-glacial Hg deposition from 10,000 yr old ombrotrophic peat records along a mid-latitude   sub-Arctic gradient. 3 Continuous atmospheric Hg speciation and isotopic monitoring at the Pic du Midi Observatory (Pyrenees).By tapping information from the isotopic dimension of Hg cycling, including revolutionary mass-independent effects, I expect a maximum scientific impact while supporting a socially relevant and urgently needed investigation at the frontier of isotope geosciences.

user: Explain how 'Microbial Biopesticides to Control Disease Vectors and Agricultural Pests' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The proposed ERA Chair, Prof. George Dimopoulos, completed his PhD at IMBB-FORTH in 1996 and has through a remarkable career path (Harvard, EMBL, Imperial College, Johns Hopkins) become a world-leader in the field of vector biology/microbial biopesticides. He will establish the MicroBioPest research team at IMBB, aiming to develop environmentally safe microbial biopesticides, for tackling vectors of human diseases and agricultural pests. The research plan includes innovative components and state of the art methodologies, for the identification of insecticidal microorganisms, elucidation of the nature and mode of action of microbial bio-pesticide, and, prototype product development. This project and research line coincides with the strategic plan of the IMBB Director John Vontas, an experienced researcher in chemical insecticides (currently coordinator of two Horizon2020 and several industrial projects). This project is aligned with his Green Biotechnology sustainable development goals, and the RIS3 of the Prefecture of Crete, in a region where agriculture and tourism are the main pillars for the economy. MicroBioPest will be supported by structural reforms, such as: (i) the establishment of a Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) lab for work with vector pathogens, (ii) the allocation of space within the 60M investment by the EBI, for Research, Training and Innovation Center for hosting the sustainable Biotech-Biopesticide Center (BIOPEST) that will evolve from MicroBioPest, and (iii) operational procedures that will strengthen the Technology Transfer capacity of IMBB. The project will form a powerful and inspiring example of brain gain for the broader EU. It will train and educate young scientists towards pragmatic career prospects in Academia and industry. It will form a unique s

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'An advanced process route for fibre mmcs combining filament windingwith liquid metal infiltration casting'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Considering handling, costs and metallographic results multifilament alumina fibres were found to lead to best results within the investment casting process.Starting up with four different matrix alloys the AlZn6Mg1Ag1 showed best results in the MMC in case of best compatibility with the fibres.For optimisation of the alloy in the reinforced and the unreinforced status parameters and parameter windows for casting and heat treatment were defined:- Techniques for manufacturing performs for the considered geometries (unidirectional, windings) with defined fibre orientation and fibre content were found and optimised for all specimen and components within the project;- During the project the process parameters were continuously adapted and optimised on the two following production routes:a) Gas pressure infiltration (FIBRECAST) and;b) Autoclave gas pressure infiltration (MIT).* FIBRECAST: Based on the common investment casting process the requirements of the low gas pressure infiltration lead to an optimised ceramic mould with specially developed layers and to a casting unit. This includes casting in a vacuum chamber, starting the infiltration at a low environmental pressure.MIT: the autoclave gas pressure infiltration was adapted to ceramic shell moulds. This included the development of a gas-tight sealing for ceramic moulds.The monitoring of process parameters and comparison with results of mechanical testing and micro structural investigations led to optimised process parameter windows.A comparison with regard to handling and costs led to the decision to favour the FIBRECAST infiltration route.Micromechanical models were developed especially for continuous fibre MMCs. The data derived from mechanical testing was used to validate the computed results of the micromechanical

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'SKILLPOV' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Our proposal is motivated by three main problems concerning the relationship between poverty and skill formation. First, recent research suggests that the main reason why schools in poor areas have low quality is because their teachers are ineffective. What is not known is how to identify an effective teacher, and whether we can compensate low quality teaching in early grades with high quality teaching later on. Second, there are strong associations between family socio-economic status and child development. But what is central for policy design, and researchers have not quantified, is the relative importance of different drivers of this relationship over the life of the child: resources, information, technology, or preferences. Third, although many welfare services are available for the poor, we often see low take-up rates, even for programs that can contribute to significant changes in the lives of families and their children. Two of the most cited reasons for low take-up are imperfect information and stigma. For both reasons, we expect take-up decisions to be strongly affected by social interactions. There is already evidence of strong correlations between an individual’s welfare participation, and the participation rate of individuals she is likely to interact with. But we do not know precisely how social influences cascade through one’s social network, and how this depends on whether social effects are mainly on information or stigma. The research described in this proposal addresses these three issues. It answers a more general call for uncoupling the different economic forces driving teacher quality, socio-economic gradients in development, and the effectiveness of poverty alleviation policies (namely the role of social interactions). This can only be done with a

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project '''It’s the Symmetry, Stupid!'' Gearing Up Tensor Networks for the  Topological Quantum Revolution' (ISYS) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

This proposal is set in the era of the second quantum revolution, in which there is a strong need for a computational framework to describe and simulate topological materials and quantum devices possessing exotic particle statistics.* The two leading actors: symmetries and tensor networks. * The story: while the topological materials seem to defy Landau’s symmetry breaking paradigm as they do not exhibit a local order parameter, tensor networks strike back with the emergence of a local “pulling-through” symmetry of the local tensors describing them. * The catch: the symmetry happens in the shadow world of entanglement degrees of freedom, is in general non-invertible, and speaks the language of bimodule categories. * The magic: the tensor network picture makes the abstract concepts and mathematical tools needed to describe topological and critical systems, such as cohomology theory and bimodule categories, very tangible and concrete as wavefunctions of quantum spin systems which can easily be put on a computer. * The mission: develop the mathematics of tensor network representations of (higher) categorical and non-invertible symmetries; construct a computational toolbox which exploits those symmetries; construct explicit matrix product operator intertwiners for dualities between theories with non-Abelian / categorical symmetries; construct novel CFTs from categorical data; create a bridge between bimodule categories and integrability.* The crescendo: tensor networks with categorical symmetries take over the world by 1. setting up real-space renormalization group flows in which unwanted relevant perturbations are crushed and 2.constructing and evaluating quantum error correcting codes based on non-Abelian anyons.* The take-away: deep theoretical ideas and state of the art

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Artificial designer materials' (E-DESIGN) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Constructing designer materials where the atomic geometry, interactions, magnetism and other relevant parameters can be precisely controlled is becoming reality. I will reach this aim by positioning every atom with the tip of a scanning probe microscope, or by using molecular self-assembly to reach the desired structures. I will realize and engineer several novel quantum materials hosting exotic electronic phases: 2D topological insulators in metal-organic frameworks (MOF) and 2D topological superconductors in hybrid molecule-superconductor structures. These classes of materials have not yet been experimentally realized but could enable novel spintronic and quantum computing devices. In addition, we will realize a tuneable platform for quantum simulation in solid-state artificial lattices, which could open a whole new area in this field.I will employ a broad experimental approach to reach the above targets by utilizing molecular self-assembly and scanning probe microscopy -based atom/molecule manipulation. The systems are characterized using low-temperature atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). My group is one of the leading groups in these topics globally. We have initial results on the topics discussed in this proposal and are thus in a unique position to make ground-breaking contributions in realizing designer quantum materials.The artificial designer materials we study are characterized by the engineered electronic response with atomically precise geometries, lattice symmetries and controlled interactions. Such ingredients can result in ultimately controllable materials that have large, robust and quick responses to small stimuli with applications in nanoelectronics, flexible electronics, high-selectivity and high-sensitivity sensors

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Critical Exploration of Media Related Risks and Opportunities for Deliberative Communication: Development Scenarios of the European Media Landscape' (MEDIADELCOM) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

MEDIADELCOM endeavours to contribute to the enhancement of European integration, social cohesion and consequently – Europeanization.The popularity of ultra-right and populist political forces in European societies demonstrate that the unity of European nations and their common goals are not self-evident. Informed decision making in contemporary democratic societies is being challenged.MEDIADELCOM consortium argues that European political and cultural spaces evolve best if specific policies enhance the conditions for deliberative communication. The Consortium will work out a methodology enabling the assessment and forecast of the risks and opportunities for deliberative communication emerging in the process of media transformation in 2000-2020.There is no holistic approach to media related Risks and Opportunities (ROs); media studies and data are dispersed, restricting the evaluation of ROs for deliberative communication in European countries; there are no evidence-based holistic scenarios for prognosing media development in European societies.The overall objective of MEDIADELCOM is to develop a diagnostic tool for policy makers, educators, media critical bodies and institutions, as well as for media experts and journalists, which enables the provision of holistic assessment of risks and opportunities concerning deliberative communication and consequently social cohesion in Europe.We will: 1) develop a model for holistic analysis of the ROs emerging within the process of media transformation in Europe; 2) assess the sufficiency of existing research and data necessary for making knowledge based forecasts about European media landscape development trends;  3) generate a novel method, based on motivational modelling and agent-based simulation for outlining scenarios to pred

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'COMPUTERS TO SCREEN' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Innovation**

The European ceramic industry has a world-wide reputation, with Spain and Italy being the leaders in production and sales. In recent years, competition has intensified from emerging industrial countries, mainly from the Far East, which have implemented increases in production capacity. Improving European industrial competence must be based on improving product quality and process efficiency. The project concerns the adaptation of a new system based on fabricating printing screens by direct transfer, together with techniques developed for other high-definition printing screen applications. The process will offer an opportunity to automate the ceramic printing process. The proposed process is based on film-less digital representation of data with direct transfer from computer system through laser technology.The overall aim of this project is an automatic system of elaborating printing screens from digitised graphic design, 'COMPUTER TO SCREEN', and the optimisation of the process, including previous and subsequent phases in the fabrication of the printing screens.The different technical aspects considered in the project are:- production of screens from digitised designs by means of directly exposing the screens, previously applied with a photosensitive emulsion, to a high-precision laser. Thus, eliminating the photographic process, as well as all intervening manipulations in between screen design and production- study of raw materials (emulsions, fabrics, catalyst etc) and equipment (automatic emulsifying devices, dry-up train etc) used in the process.- improvement in the printing systems: analysing the influence of the screen-printing machines on the quality of the graphic imprint- setting up of more precise and effective quality controls of this process.As part of the p
