user: Explain how 'Pilot study of evaporation and precipitation over the Baltic sea' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

PEP in BALTEX is short for Pilot study of Evaporation and Precipitation in the Baltic Sea. BALTEX is one out of 5 GEWEX regional experiments which will explore, model and quantify the various processes determining the space and time variability of the energy and water cycle of the Baltic Sea and its cachment area. It is envisaged to have a main BALTEX experiment phase in 1999-2000 to integrate observations by numerical modelling and thus achieve a description of the Energy and Water cycle in all of the Baltic Sea Catchment area. PEP is designed as a pilot experiment to the main experiment, with the specific scope to study precipitation and evaporation over sea. For determination of precipitation at sea the main experiment needs to rely heavily on radar measurements. To test, improve and validate radar estimates of precipitation against in situ measurements, a pilot study prior to the main experiment is necessary. At the same time, PEP will provide data sets for the improvement of numerical models over the sea. PEP in this way is designed to sharpen our tools for the main experiment. The measurements in PEP will be concentrated along a transect from the northern coast of Germany to southwestern Finland. For an 18 month period PEP will provide a comprehensivee set of actual evaporation data measured with the eddy correlation technique, at 4 well exposed sites in the area as well as precipitation, measured with micro rain radars at 3 of these sites. This data set will be used within PEP for validation of routines for evaporation in 2 regional scale models and in a meso-gamma-scale model and for improvements of those routines. The precipitation data will also be used for validation and calibration of weather radars for estimation of precipitation over the Baltic Sea. The mi

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Advanced bioinformatics for genome and metagenome analyses and discovery of novel biocatalists from extremophiles: implications for improving industrial bioprocesses', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The aim of this proposal is to acquire new insights about the mechanisms of environmental adaptation, particularly for cold-adapted organisms, and to discover novel metabolic pathways and enzymes with potential industrial value. We intend to accomplish this goal by establishing a collaboration and a knowledge-exchange network between industrial and academic partners aiming at developing bioinformatic tools for genomic analysis and biotechnology tools for directed evolution. The partners present high complementarity: UNICAM holds genomic sequences from psychrophilic and mesophilic ciliates that need to be annotated and analysed. Sabanci provides environmental samples for the isolation and characterization of new extremophiles. CAMBRIDGE provides the know-how for the discovery of new metabolic pathways valuable for understanding environmental adaptation. BMR Genomics and COMSATS possess all the facilities for genome sequencing and annotation and  bioinformatic expertise with the purpose of developing new tools to analyse genomes of microorganisms from extreme environment. UNIMIB owns the facilities for the heterologous expression of gene sequences in bacteria and yeasts and technologies to assess and implement the properties of novel enzymes towards industrial application. We are confident that the establishment of the international research network proposed, with its synergistic effects, will significantly contribute to push all the involved laboratories to the top level in the field of production of active biomolecules and in the discovery of mechanisms of molecular adaptation under extreme environmental conditions. These discoveries may help the manufacturing of a new generation of ordinary facilities, as cleaning agents, biofuels, with a significant impact on the ever

user: Describe how 'Nitrogen-enriched plasma activated water, an unparalleled plant feeding system' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Horticultural producers fertilise their crops with Nitrogen (N) to ensure healthy and abundant yields that meet the needs of an increasing population. EU greenhouse farmers spend € 808 M yearly in synthetic N-fertilisers, which are energy-intensive to produce, heavily dependent on fossil fuels and very pollutant. Moreover, the supply chain of synthetic N-fertilisers entails a great amount of GHG emissions, with costs estimated at €14 B/yr. Fertilisation with synthetic fertilisers is unsustainable particularly in EU as the price of N is highly dependent on changes in the price of natural gas. VitalFluid brings to market a sustainable and non-polluting alternative to current synthetic N-fertilisers. Our PLAsma Nitrogen FIXation technology provides an on-the-spot production of liquid N-fertiliser that makes the current supply chain of fertilisers redundant. Only with air, water and electricity from renewable sources, our innovative patented plasma activation technology extracts N directly from the air and dissolve it into Plasma Activated Water (PAW) which is nitrate-enriched water ready to be supplied to crops. PLAN2FIX will provide the agriculture sector and society with lower cultivation costs and third parties’ dependency, ensured availability of fertilisers and a drastic reduction of GHG emissions. With 500,000 Ha of greenhouses in the world and 210,000 Ha in EU, our short-term target customers are professional greenhouse horticulture growers which require more fertilisers per hectare due to intensive cultivation practice. We aim at entering leading countries in the greenhouse and advanced farming: Netherlands, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Poland & UK in the first 5 years. We will sell directly in NL while will rely on a distribution network outside NL. From 2022 un

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Genetic and Molecular Determinants of Spikelet Survival in Cereal Crops' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Concept**

Meeting the forecasted world demand for food remains a crucial challenge for plant scientists in this century.One promising avenue for improving grain yield of cereal crops, including wheat and barley, involves reducing spikelet mortality. Spikelets, the grain-bearing units of cereal spikes, usually form in excess and subsequently abort during development; increased spikelet survival is linked to increased numbers of grains per spike. Therefore, reducing spikelet mortality is an intriguing approach to improve grain yield.In barley, the number of spikelets per spike at the awn primordium (AP) stage represents the maximum yield potential per spike. After the AP stage, significant spikelet mortality results in fewer grains per spike. Our previous results clearly indicated that spikelet survival in barley is highly genetically controlled (broad-sense heritability >0.80) and that the period from AP to tipping represents the most critical pre-anthesis phase related to spikelet reduction and grain yield per spike. However, the underlying genetic and moleculardeterminants of spikelet survival remain to be discovered. I therefore propose this ambitious research program with an emphasis on using available genetic resources.Our specific aims during the LUSH SPIKE project are to: (i) discover quantitative trait loci (QTL) for spikelet survival and grain number per spike and validate these QTL in bi-parental doubled-haploid mapping populations, (ii) isolate and functionally characterize Mendelized QTL using a map-based approach, (iii) reveal gene regulatory networks determining spikelet survival during the critical spike growth period from AP to heading, and (iv) elucidate spatio-temporal patterns of metabolite and phytohormone distributions in spike and spikelet sections during the

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Management of knowledge using integrated tools for SMEs' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Increasingly companies are realising that the knowledge of their employees is their most valuable asset. Studies show however, that companies are using only 20% of 'their' knowledge on average. Knowledge about integrated manufacturing and about clients, markets and competitors is the key to competitive advantage. Knowledge is an asset which needs to be managed. Knowledge Management (KM) comprises acquiring, analysis, transformation, storage and dissemination of knowledge throughout the complete development and manufacturing process. From the SME's point of view, KM is a neglected issue, although increasingly European SMEs gain their competitiveness from knowledge intensive services, often relying on single experts who may leave gaps on leaving. SMEs rarely have the resources to employ knowledge engineers or the use of sophisticated and service intensive information technology. Specific IT solutions for SMEs are needed, which are not only inexpensive and pragmatic, but are also aligned with the specific organisational requirements of SMEs. Furthermore solutions are needed covering the overall process chain. The objective of MAKE-IT-SME is to develop holistic methods and tools for the securing, sharing and further development of engineering and manufacturing knowledge. MAKE-IT-SME will provide methods and an IT solution suitable to the specific needs of SMEs to flexibly manage the knowledge in-house as well as with co-operating partners. An early and thorough integration of IT with means for human resource management and knowledge engineering scenarios will guide this project. In order to achieve its objectives, relevant company parameters will be analysed and a benchmark will be conducted to identify world-class solutions. For the IT-solution an intranet approach is envi

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Exploring the Epigenome by Multiplexed Physical Mapping of Individual Chromosomes' (MultiplexGenomics).

assistant: **Innovation**

The genome is composed of the genetic code and a rich repertoire of epigenetic chemical DNA modifications, the Epigenome, with distinct signatures in health and disease. Unmasking the interplay between different genomic features is critical for understanding the operating system of life. Specifically, revealing long-range epigenetic regulation may uncover predisposition to cancer. Nevertheless, due to the short read-length of single-cell next-generation sequencing, there is no method today that can integrate multiple genomic observables, on the same genome and at the same time. The missing picture constitutes a major genomic “blind spot”, obscuring epigenetic regulation of gene expression. This project aims to provide a multiplexed view of the genome never before accessible. I will utilize single-molecule physical and chemical mapping of individual chromosomes to discover long-range epigenetic correlations, focusing on markers for predisposition to breast cancer. I will approach multiplexing by applying optical and electrical sensing concepts to detect chemical tags attached to long genomic DNA molecules. Equipped with a toolbox of biochemical DNA labeling reactions, I will develop a unique spectral imager for simultaneous acquisition of high-content genomic information from DNA stretched in nanochannel arrays. DNA tagging will also be used to enhance electrical contrast for nanopore epigenetic sequencing. Finally, by combining electric sensing inside nanochannels I will develop new integrated devices for electro-optical genomic analysis. Together, these developments cover the full range of genomic length scales and resolution. MultiplexGenomics will  establish a groundbreaking experimental framework for genetic/epigenetic profiling of native chromosomal DNA. A successf

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Beyond Graphene: Fundamental properties of 2D materials at the atomic scale'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of the 2DNano project is to further the development of a high potential European researcher, Dr. Garnica, in the field of nanotechnology through an ambitious research programme that straddles the interface of physics, chemistry and engineering. The project is taking place for two years at the Chair E20 at Technische Universität München, a leading institution for nanoscience and nanotechnology. The main goal of the proposal is the synthesis and atomic level understanding of novel two-dimensional (2D) structures on metallic substrates.The success of graphene has spurred tremendous expectations and research efforts in the development of novel 2D materials with outstanding structural and electronic properties. In graphene, the superlative electronic properties are a consequence of its characteristic band structure, linear near the Fermi level, which convert it in a semimetal. Nevertheless, a large variety of electronic properties, including band gaps and electron mobilities, can be found in the direct analogues of graphene such as the insulator hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and the theoretically predicted semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC) honeycomb sheets. With the 2DNano project, we will dedicate considerable efforts in designing new synthetic methods for the production of these 2D materials on metallic substrates, in particular SiC on a silver substrate. The fully characterization of these layers at atomic scale by complementary spectroscopy and microscopy techniques will provide us a wealth of information on their chemical, electronic and geometric structure. This crucial information will be important for the further functionalization of such heterostructures with the final objective of adding new functionalities.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'OPEn HPC theRmomechanical tools for the development of eAtf fuels', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Increasing further the safety of light water nuclear reactors in the new operating conditions induced by their integration in a more varied energy mix brings many new challenges for fuel development. This calls for effective and validated tools enabling one to capture the complexity of the behaviour of fuel elements under various operation conditions from nominal to design basis accident ones.. The objective of the OperaHPC proposal is to develop open tools using High Performance Computing (HPC) enabling a full 3D high-fidelity thermo-mechanical simulation of the fuel element including the material microstructure. This will contribute to the design of so-called fuel element digital twins.  This development includes an ambitious basic research program devoted to the investigation of non-linear mechanical behaviour of irradiated fuel using multiscale experiments and simulations from the atomic scale up to the material law. This will yield the detailed description of the in-pile behaviour of the fuel element and the materials data necessary for the simulation. The tools developed will be assessed against state-of-the-art 1D/3D fuel performance codes for verification, definition of boundary conditions and coupling with neutronic, thermochemical and thermohydraulic codes. Validation and uncertainty analyses will also be performed through the comparison of the results of the 3D simulations with the experimental data available from irradiation programs. The knowledge from these advanced simulations will be transferred to industrial fuel performance codes thanks to the application of new methods based on reduced order and meta models, including Artificial Intelligence. The HPC tools will finally be applied to the detailed evaluation of innovative fuel element concepts, includin

user: Draft an impact statement for 'REsolving ambiguities in Flow boiling within micro-passages: Integrated modeliNg and Experiments', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Electronic products are progressively smaller and more powerful, resulting to an exponential increase in the generated residual heat. Their effective and environmental-friendly cooling is therefore, of upmost importance for many applications such as Data Centres, Fuel Cells, Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors, Lithium-Ion Batteries and Photovoltaic Cells, with a market value of several billions of dollars worldwide. Flow Boiling within micro-passages has been proven as one of the most efficient cooling strategies for such High-Power Density Electronics. However, such solutions, are not yet commercially available. This is due to a lack of a deep understanding of the underpinned flow and transport processes and unresolved ambiguities in micro-scales and hence, of reliable and easy-to-use thermal design tools for small-scale components. REFINE aims to give light at such crucial ambiguities, utilising a synergic combination of novel Volume Of Fluid (VOF) based numerical simulations and tailored high-resolution experimental diagnostics. Dr Andredaki will develop a novel cutting-edge simulation tool starting from an already enhanced VOF solver that she has been developing in the last years. This will be validated against parallel advanced experimental measurements on flow boiling, that she will perform using single and multiple parallel micro-channel heat sinks. The final optimised and validated numerical solver will then be applied for a wide series of parametric simulations that in combination with additional laboratory measurements will form a unique database that will lead to the development of novel, physics-based design correlations for flow boiling micro-channel heat sinks.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Enhancing Research and Development Projects to find Solutions to Struggle against various Marine Pollutions'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Today the world and particularly Europe are concerned with pollutions of marine environment, which result in instant and long-term damages to coastal and marine habitats and ecosystems. Unfortunately various recent disasters (e.g. in Alaska), without forgetting all other current sources of pollutions, have proved that the current means of struggle were inefficient. It is thus increasingly urgent to develop new solutions of fight by combining actors' skills from the maritime field. SMEs being the most numerous actors in this one but paradoxically the less solicited in EC research projects focused on environmental topics, the MAPO initiative will provide assistance to them in view of their participation in current technological partnerships (IP/NoE) and in future European RTD projects within the 6th Framework Programme and the next one. So as to achieve this goal this action will address several objectives such as the identification of best practices to facilitate the integration of European SMEs into current and future FP projects, the updating of the current state-of-the-art as well as the establishment of a European cartography of skills in the field of marine pollutions allowing a networking of competencies, the identification of technological needs and research priorities for future RTD projects, and the development of future technological partnerships for last FP6 calls and first FP7 calls. To achieve those objectives, the MAPO consortium gathers partners experienced in information and assistance to SMEs within Framework Programmes (like SME National Contact Points or management consultants), but also in environmental risks and marine pollutions (researchers and technical consultants). MAPO partners come from 10 European countries (Lithuania, Spain, Germany, UK, Fra
