user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Modelling multimedia fate and exposure of organic chemicals' (TRAINGERTJE), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The training program is for Dr. Gertje Czub, a very talented young researcher who has developed a unique bioaccumulation model to predict human tissue levels of organic contaminants from their concentrations in the physical environment. The training program consists of two research topics. The goal of the first topic is to assemble, evaluate, and apply a bioaccumulation model to predict human tissue levels of brominated flame retardants from their levels in the physical environment. To achieve this the mod el created by the applicant will be further developed by enhancing the description of pharmacokinetics and adding a new module to describe exposure via inhalation of particles. After an intensive evaluation for PBDEs the model will be linked to a multimedia fate model and used to evaluate how human tissue levels of PBDEs and other flame retardants can be expected to respond to different emissions scenarios in the future. The second topic will investigate the hypothesis that shelf sediments, the primary global sink of persistent organic pollutants, are an important secondary source of these chemicals that markedly increases their residence time in the environment. An existing state-of-the-art regional multimedia fate model will be modified to accommodate a dynamic model of the organic carbon cycle in marine coastal waters that the applicant will develop. Following evaluation of the modified multimedia fate model using PCBs as test chemicals, model experiments will be conducted to see how varying the shelf sediment properties influences overall chemical fate. A third component of the training program will give the applicant new skills in teaching and supervising students. This rounds out a program that is carefully matched to the applicant's needs and that exploits the

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Self-repairable Zinc-free Weldable Anti-corrosion Primer for the Steel protection' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The global production of steel is in the range of 1400M tons, worth nearly €1trillion. The steel demand in Europe in 2011 was estimated to be 145M tons, of which 39M tons p.a. for the construction sector and 16M tons p.a. for structural steel. Most of this steel is carbon or mild steel (as opposed to stainless steel) which corrodes at a high rate and although there are a significant number of anticorrosion solutions on the market, protective coating is most widely used, thanks to its low cost and high versatility. Often, an anticorrosion primer is applied just after manufacturing of steel in order to prevent rusting during storage and transportation before fabrication (cut,weld,drill,etc). Most anticorrosion primers last max 6 month due to poor quality or mechanical damage resulting in corrosion. Additionally, these anticorrosion primers are often too thick (~50μm) preventing weld quality, so time consuming localised grinding is done to remove the primer. If the primer is thin enough (~25μm) to allow welding, its anticorrosion properties are so limited, not reducing the risk of corrosion. Above all, the increased zinc content in the weldable primer formulation in order to achieve the anti-corrosion property result in health hazards and discomfort during fabrication process as it releases significant amount of zinc fumes. Alternatively, primers are simply not used at all but the expensive and hazardous blast cleaning of steel is carried out before fabrication which may sometimes be too late that it results in huge material waste and cost. The problem to be solved is the inability of the weldable primer produced today to allow both good quality welding and durable corrosion protection without health hazards.The WeldaPrime project proposes an innovative approach for a zinc

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Plant EV farming' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are biomembrane-enclosed structures that are ubiquitously secreted by living cells. EVs, by transferring proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and other molecules to neighbouring or distant cells contribute to tissue homeostasis and have roles in many physiological and pathological processes. In this context, plant-derived vesicles started to receive attention as valid alternatives to EVs released by mammalian cell. Going beyond the state-of-the-art and relying on a highly interconnected approach, FarmEVs project will setup a vegetable-based system for the massive production of vesicles and explore them as high-value ingredients for plant and human health. This will be achieved through the isolation and engineerization of EV-like nanovesicles from organically grown crops. Plant derived-vesicles will be exploited for sustainable agriculture with the help of an organic farm in Finland and an agricultural university in Egypt. Moreover, we will setup plant cell cultures for EV farming and by applying emerging biotechnology we will develop EV-based solutions to increase the viral resistance of plants and the pro-symbiotic activities in legume crops.To achieve the goals, a multidisciplinary consortium with the participation of 8 partners from universities, research centres, an SME and an organic farm from 6 countries has been created with the integration of a broad expertise ranging from EV research, biomembrane modelling, plant genetics, plant physiology, virology, molecular farming, engineering and agriculture. This project will strengthen the already existing collaborations, create new ones and provide a solid cornerstone for further research efforts of the consortium participants after the ending of the project.

assistant: **Concept**

The EC has within its Survey of 2011, carried out on request of DG Enterprise and Industry (DG EI), realized that the main barriers of innovation in the eyes of the SMEs, are lack of financial resources and inability to manage innovation process.Since different understandings of the term ""Innovation Management System"" (IMS) have been noted the EC has supported European Committee for Standardization to provide the stakeholders with a unified definition of relevant parts in the IMS. According to this definition the most important parts of IMS include company's innovation processes from idea generation to innovation result, but also leadership, management skills and other enabling factors, like the ability to cooperate with third parties like RD partners, clients, and suppliers.The objective of this project in Slovenia is to enable SMEs to bridge the knowledge gap in innovation management, get aware of shortages and improve their internal innovation management system and/or focus on achieving market value with their inventions. The consortium will achieve this objectives with providing:1.) Enhancing the Innovation Management Capacity of SMEs. The beneficiaries will receive diagnostic of their innovation system based on the standardized IMP³rove tool. This will lead to the formation of tailored action plan to improve the SME’s capacity to better manage innovation.2.) Key Account Managers – Facilitators for the H2020 SME Instrument. Key Account Managers will identify and source appropriate lead coaches (from predefined pool of coaches), facilitate linking the SMEs to innovation support services and to support the lead coach in delivering services to the SME. The SME Instrument participants will receive the most appropriate services and support to enhance the probability of

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The nature of cosmic explosions' (COSMICEXPLOSIONS) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Cosmic explosions, the violent deaths of stars, play a crucial role in many of the most interesting open questions in physics today. These events serve as “cosmic accelerators” for ultra-high-energy particles that are beyond reach for even to most powerful terrestrial accelerators, as well as distant sources for elusive neutrinos. Explosions leave behind compact neutron stars and black hole remnants, natural laboratories to study strong gravity. Acting as cosmic furnaces, these explosions driven the chemical evolution of the Universe Cosmic explosions trigger and inhibit star formation processes, and drive galactic evolution (“feedback”). Distances measured using supernova explosions as standard candles brought about the modern revolution in our view of the accelerating Universe, driven by enigmatic “dark energy”. Understanding the nature of cosmic explosions of all types is thus an extremely well-motivated endeavour. I have been studying cosmic explosions for over a decade, and since the earliest stages of my career, have followed an ambition to figure out the nature of cosmic explosions of all types, and to search for new types of explosions. Having already made several key discoveries, I now propose to undertake a comprehensive program to systematically tackle this problem.I review below the progress made in this field and the breakthrough results we have achieved so far, and propose to climb the next step in this scientific and technological ladder, combining new powerful surveys with comprehensive multi-wavelength and multi-disciplinary (observational and theoretical) analysis. My strategy is based on a combination of two main approaches: detailed studies of single objects which serve as keys to specific questions; and systematic studies of large samples, some that

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Gamma-ray bursts - Current and Future' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are one of the most energetic phenomena in Astrophysics, producing large energy releases at cosmological distances on very short time scales. Multiwavelength observations of these sources have the potential to tell us about the source, but the prompt and afterglow of GRBs fades very quickly and telescopes must be on target within seconds. Much has been learned and continues to be learned from the afterglows of GRBs, but we have now entered a new era with the successful launch of Fermi (formerly GLAST). Now it will be possible to measure the high energy emission of these sources. This is a ground-breaking project in the study of GRBs with complementary aims in the short, medium and long term. All aspects of the project will run simultaneously with the emphasis shifting as time goes on. The three strands are necessary to ensure no gap in activity and a sucessful transition.  (1) In the short to mid-term the applicant will continue her research into the multi-wavelength aspects of GRBs and their prompt emission with Fermi, Swift, INTEGRAL and collaborations in the follow-up community.  (2) In the mid term, the applicant with involve herself more with the focusing experiments in the host institute. (3) In the long term, the applicant will get involved in the one of the proposed  generation gamma-ray mission - GRIPS, with a few to developing the mission concept and keeping scientific output at the same time.Please note that my EIF Marie Curie Fellowship ran from the 01/04/2006 until  31/03/2008 and this proposal was submitted on the 30/09/2008 - within the 6 month post MC Fellowship deadline.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Inerter-based vibrating barrier for seismic protection of a cluster of building structures'.

assistant: **Concept**

Earthquakes are one of the deadliest and costliest natural hazards. In Europe, earthquakes have been responsible for more than 200,000 deaths and damage worth at least 250 billion euros during the 20th century.  In Italy alone, more than 400 destructive earthquakes have been documented. In more recent history, the Central Italy earthquake in 2016 killed 297 people and caused damage worth at least 4 billion euros. VIBRATIONCLEAR proposes the use of inerter-based vibrating barrier (I-ViBA) for earthquake protection of a cluster of building structures. The I-ViBA is unique because unlike any other currently available earthquake protection technologies, the I-ViBA is buried in the ground and tuned to protect surrounding structures without being directly in contact to them through a structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) mechanism. The I-ViBA can be a solution for a low-cost seismic protection technology for existing buildings as one I-ViBA can be designed to protect many surrounded structures, something that has never been explored before. Aiming to address the apparent gap, this VIBRATIONCLEAR project sets two key objectives: (a) propose a novel I-ViBA and its optimisation method; and (b) perform 2D and 3D numerical finite element simulations considering a more realistic environment (multiple I-ViBA with a cluster of building structures). Using both analytical and numerical methods, the I-ViBA will be accurately designed, modelled and simulated using finite element software with various types of earthquake ground motions.With the support of my supervisor (Prof Marco Domaneschi) at the Politecnico di Torino, the Fellowship will train me in earthquake engineering and structural dynamics and act as a pilot for my own ERC Starting Grant on seismic protection technology.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Increasing the life cycle of cutting tools by laser alloying in combination with thin film technologies', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Cutting tools such as circular saw blades have to resist complex mechanical and tribological stresses particularly in the area of the cutting edge. This proposal describes the development and optimization of a manufacturing program for cutting tools in which innovative technologies such as laser alloying in combination with thin film processing will be integrated. Main objective of this research project will be the increase of heat and wear resistance of circular saw blades. Therefore, locally alloying of heat and wear resistant filler materials on inexpensive iron-based materials will be carried out. Depending on specific requirements, hard coating (for instance TiN) by thin film technologies such as plasma CVD or PVD is planned. In addition, the employment of thin films such as MoS2, which cause decreasing friction, is conceivable. This will have to be worked out during a feasibility study in Step 1. The following advantages can be expected by using laser alloying in combination with thin film technologies during the manufacturing of cutting tools: - Increased wear resistance and increased cutting rate respectively - Employment of inexpensive base materials which will be locally surface modified - Decreased use of cooling liquids and lubricants The performance of this new generation of saw blades will be investigated as well as economic aspects.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Effects of Cross-Linguistic Interactions on Perception of Speech' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Conversations often take place in noisy environments like a crowded coffee shop. In the European community, many of these conversations are among bilinguals and in a second language. Although adverse listening conditions have little impact on comprehension in one’s native language, communication can be severely affected in a bilingual’s second language. The neural systems involved in spoken language and the mechanisms that facilitate comprehension have been extensively investigated in monolinguals. However, much is unknown about the neural architecture that supports language comprehension in bilinguals. Bilinguals have, not one, but two systems that map sound-to-meaning. Here we investigate how the two languages interact with one another and how that affects access to meaning under naturalistic listening conditions. A combination of complementary methodologies — behavior, fMRI, and ERP/EEG —  will be used to characterize the nature, locus, and temporal dynamics of mapping sound-to-meaning in bilinguals. The research location also provides a rare opportunity to compare two unique balanced bilingual populations that share one common language, Basque; the two groups of bilinguals differ in the degree to which their first (Spanish or French) languages overlap in their sound structure with Basque. The project aims to bridge bilingualism and speech perception research, two rapidly growing areas of study, to provide a unifying neural framework for bilingual spoken language processing. This work will provide the basis for clinical and technological advances that support language comprehension.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Current Tools and Policy Challenges in Electricity Markets'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The fight against climate change is among Europe’s top policy priorities. In this research agenda, I propose to push out the frontier in the area of Energy and Environmental Economics by carrying out policy-relevant research on a pressing issue: how to design optimal regulatory and market-based solutions to achieve a least cost transition towards a low-carbon economy. The European experience provides unique natural experiments with which to test some of the most contentious issues that arise in the context of electricity markets, including the potential to change households’ demand patterns through dynamic pricing, the scope of renewables to mitigate market power and depress wholesale market prices, and the design and performance of the auctions for renewable support. While there is a body of policy work on these issues, it generally does not meet the required research standards. In this research, I will rely on cutting-edge theoretical, empirical, and simulation tools to disentangle these topics, while providing key economic insights that are relevant beyond electricity markets. On the theory front, I propose to develop new models that incorporate the intermittency of renewables to characterize optimal bidding as a key, broadly omitted ingredient in previous analysis. In turn, these models will provide a rigorous structure for the empirical and simulation analysis, which will rely both on traditional econometrics for casual inference as well as on state-of-the-art machine learning methods to construct counterfactual scenarios for policy analysis. While my focus is on energy and environmental issues, my research will also provide methodological contributions for other areas - particularly those related to policy design and policy evaluation.
