user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'European Migration, Social Structure and Empire Building in Portuguese Asia, 1500-1650' (MIGRASIA) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Migration has become a central issue in today’s public and political discourse. This discourse is often instrumentalized against migrants portrayed as “invading” Europe, forgetting that the early modern period was defined by a reverse flow: the mass emigration of mostly poor Europeans that enabled the construction of global colonial empires. Although the imperial migrations that shaped the Americas and Africa are well-studied, the equally significant movements to Asia remain largely understudied.MIGRASIA addresses this gap by reconstructing in the scale, demographic composition, and social logic of these migrations at macro-, meso- and micro-level, using the Portuguese Empire in Asia (Estado da Índia) and the Portuguese Carreira da Índia (India Run) between 1500-1650, as a case study. A comparative approach with other European colonial polities (Spanish, Dutch (VOC), and English (EIC)) will situate the findings in a global context.MIGRASIA hypothesizes that European empire building in Asia was shaped not only by top-down policies, but by the migration dynamics and the formation of new hybrid social structures involving subaltern populations, so far grossly overlooked by the scholarship. The project's central objective is to re-evaluate the social structure and quantitative dimensions of migration from Europe to the Estado da Índia, challenging what is known about its role in the empire-building process itself.Methodologically, the project combines quantitative and qualitative analysis to reconstruct trans-oceanic migration flows, as well as individual trajectories. By adopting a bottom-up perspective focusing on the agency of subaltern migrants and the gender dimension of these migratory flows, this project deepens our perspective on global mobility and social change, c

user: Describe how 'International circulation of technicians. A prosopographical study about agents and scientists inside Unrra, Fao and Unesco (1943-1960)' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The research aims to analyse the role of Unrra, Unesco and Fao in planning a new global order since World War II based on Education, Science and management of the Environment, looking at the expertise and proposals of their workers. The research will focus on the sustainable and inclusive vision of global development of those United Nations agencies during one of the worst historical catastrophes observing the international circulation of technicians, agents and scientists inside those institutions through a prosopographical study and their programs of relief. The project will contribute to the history of humanitarianism through a prosopographical approach instead of the usual institutional one. It looks at the stories of UN agencies workers to understand how they realise their principal mandates on a global dimension. Moreover, the research sheds light on the scientific and cultural heritage of the UN agencies global planning, humanitarian practices, and sustainable development projects.  The objective is to understand their potential global contribution to two of the current political priorities of the European Union: creating a more resilient, inclusive and democratic European society and making Europe the first digitally-enabled circular, climate-neutral and sustainable economy. Comparative use of United Nations sources in New York, Unesco archives in Paris and the Fao ones in Rome will produce the first global development planners and technicians database. The dataset shared on a web portal will collect biographical information about UN agency workers and their projects. The web-based research environment will be openly accessible to historians, social scientists, policymakers, stakeholders, students, teachers and a wider public, opening new possibilities in the an

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Social Defence. Uncovering the Transnational Epistemology of the Punitive Age' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The commonly accepted reason for the right to punish is the defence of society, or social defence. However, its meaning in Western criminal justice remains unclear. In an increasingly punitive age, punishments have become harsher, irrespective of the seriousness of the crime. It is therefore necessary to scrutinise the episteme behind punishment. In fact, despite its profound impact on individuals’ lives, the penal system lacks an adequate normative foundation because social defence functions as an implicit paradigm without a clear elaboration. P-AGE’s objective is to analyse the long-term discourse on social defence and its current transnational relevance, with the ultimate goal of understanding how and why punishment came to be perceived as an adequate response to various societal issues. More specifically, P-AGE sheds light on the criminological legal debate on the concept of social defence, a debate that has been largely overlooked in scholarly literature. Social defence was first theorised at the turn of the 20th century within the underexplored field of Positivist Criminology. This concept has persisted until today, due to the post-WWII emergence of the New Social Defence (NSD) movement, an association of criminal law reformers who worked in concert with the United Nations Social Defence Research Institute (UNSDRI), now called the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), in shaping current crime policy programmes. P-AGE investigates this historical setting and development in order to understand what social defence means and to make the implicit paradigm of the punitive age explicit. P-AGE’s methodology employs the epistemic community model to identify and analyse the transnational network of actors and ideas that substantiate soc

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Performance in Robots Interaction via Mental Imagery' (PRIMI), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The next generation of personal robotic systems needs to reach a level of cognition and motor intelligence that provides autonomy in any environment, effective interaction with humans, and adaptation of their actions to a broad range of open, dynamic situations. Robots are expected to be able to predict perceptual and functional changes that result from human actions and replicate human activities taking into consideration their own capabilities and limitations.The required human-like physical performance and reasoning cannot be achieved with the mainstream AI and robotics paradigms, because they are missing the required co-design of body (robot) and mind (AI) and are based on inefficient computing and sensing resources that cannot be scaled up to the required level.To go beyond what is currently possible, PRIMI will synergistically combine research and development in neurophysiology, psychology, machine intelligence, cognitive mechatronics, neuromorphic engineering, and humanoid robotics to build developmental models of higher-cognition abilities – mental imagery, abstract reasoning, and theory of mind – boosted by energy-efficient event-driven computing and sensing. It will produce a new unifying concept for the next generation of autonomous interaction technologies, capable of more autonomous, faster, safer, and precise interaction with real-time learning and adaptation, thanks to the integration of the capabilities to mentally represent themselves, the physical and social worlds, resemble experiences and simulate actions.PRIMI’s ambition is to induce a paradigm shift in AI and robotics to create truly autonomous socially interactive robots, which will offer new technological perspectives for transforming personal robotic services.As a proof-of-principle of the techn

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Ecological and evolutionary forces shaping microbial diversity in freshwater blooms' (MicroEcoEvol) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Bacterial communities dominate the living biomass on Earth and contribute significantly to all global cycles of matter and energy. However, due to the high genetic heterogeneity of the ecosystems and their richness in diverse microbial species, our knowledge of bacterial communities remains limited. Therefore, in order to understand any bacterial community's ecology and predict how these communities and their respective ecosystems will respond to environmental changes, we need (i) to identify the different ecologically distinct microbial populations (or ""clusters"") that compose it, and (ii) to determine the interactions between clusters, and how they evolve. To address these challenging goals, this study will use the model system of Microcystis, the cyanobacterium that is mainly responsible for toxic algal bloom in lakes worldwide. The goal of this project is to (i) determine how (and if) Microcystis is specialized into different ecologically and genetically distinct clusters, (ii) to track how the Microcystis populations (or clusters) respond to environmental changes (pH, temperature, pollution from fertilizer runoff) and biological factors (viruses that prey on bacteria). This will allow us to understand how Microcystis populations change and adapt over time, helping us to predict and prevent harmful blooms. Using a unique multidisciplinary approach mixing ecology and evolution, and combining observations from natural time-courses in lakes, in situ experiments in microcosms within lakes, and in vitro experiments, this project will provide an unprecedented understanding of how changing regimes of natural selection, imposed by environmental and biological factors, shape microbial communities on the scales of populations, genomes and genes. This project will provide ma

user: Describe how 'Environmental influence on the formation and evolution of galaxies, in a semi-analytical framework' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The goal of this thesis is to understand which physical processes are the main ones responsible for setting galaxy morphologies. For this, the morphological, photometric, and chemical evolution of galaxies are simulated within the context of a hierarchical universe. The steps are the following : 1) Lay down the initial density field. 2) Estimate the epoch of halo virialisation. 3) Consider gas cooling within virialised halos. 4) Add star formation at galaxy collapse and galaxy encounters, with feedback on the surrounding gas from supernovae. 5) Set and evolve galaxy morphologies, considering the epoch of galaxy formation. galaxy merging, rapid non-merging collisions, ram pressure stripping. tidal disruption of proto-disks. 6) Add in photometric and chemical evolution. 7) Iterate on the cosmological parameters, the included physics and their parameters to fit the observational constraints (luminosity functions, counts, fundamental planes. morphological segregation, colour and metallicity versus morphological type and luminosity, IGM metallicity versus environment). Because of the subject and method of the project, sud a work will permit me to enlarge and improve my preparation in many atrophysical fields, as well as in mathematical techniques. The possibility of working at the IAP will also be a good opportunity for me to fully enter the international scientific community.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Dual exploitation of natural plant strategies in agriculture and public health: enhancing nitrogen-fixation and surmounting microbial infections'.

assistant: **Innovation**

With an unprecedented increase in the human population, higher agricultural production, enhanced food safety and the protection against alarming rise of antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria are amongst the main challenges of this century. This proposal centered on Rhizobium-legume symbiosis aims at contributing to these tasks by i) understanding the development of symbiotic nitrogen fixing cells for improvement of the eco-friendly biological nitrogen fixation, ii) gaining a comprehensive knowledge on polyploidy having a great impact on crop yields and iii) exploiting the strategies of symbiotic plant cells for the development of novel antibiotics. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation in Rhizobium-legume interactions is a major contributor to the combined nitrogen pool in the biosphere. It takes place in root nodules where giant plant cells host the nitrogen fixing bacteria. In Medicago nodules both the plant cells and the bacteria are polyploids and incapable for cell division. These polyploid plant cells produce hundreds of symbiotic peptides (symPEPs) that provoke terminal differentiation of bacteria in symbiosis and exhibit broad range antimicrobial activities in vitro. Permanent generation of polyploid cells is essential for the nodule development. It will be studied whether the complete genome is duplicated in consecutive endocycles, how different ploidy levels affect DNA methylation and expression profile and whether polyploidy is required for the expression of symPEP genes. The activity and mode of actions of symPEPs are in the focus of the proposal; i) how symPEPs achieve bacteroid differentiation and affect nitrogen fixation and ii) whether symPEP antimicrobial activities provide novel modes of antimicrobial actions and iii) whether ¿Sym-Biotics¿ could become widely

user: Describe how 'Next generation disease mapping' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

During the last few years, most major disease phenotypes have been studied through genome-wide association mapping. This has been a remarkably successful enterprise, resulting in the discovery of more than 500 validated SNP-phenotype associations. Yet, these associations do not explain all the heritability of many common genetic diseases and it is not at all clear how they exert their effect at the cell level. Furthermore, current genome-wide association studies are designed to only find common polymorphisms associated with diseases, and they have very limited ability to detect rare variants and variants that interact with each other to cause a given disease phenotype. In the near future disease mapping projects will have access to full genome sequencing. Our limitations will therefore not be lack of information about the genetic differences but our ability to analyse very high dimensional data in a statistically powerful way, manage the data, and last, but not least, to interpret these in relation to complex phenotypes. Next generation disease mapping therefore calls for methods that can handle complete genetic information and relate it to complex biological information on the disease phenotypes. We propose to do research into new methods that can find more variants contributing to disease by explicitly modelling their interaction and combine the statistical signal contributed by several rare variants. To do this we need methods that can handle the large scale sequencing data and we need systems level approaches that make explicit models of each phenotype (disease) under consideration. The outcome should be a more thorough understanding of the cellular changes that lead to disease and how certain genetic variants contribute.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'The trail of sulphur: from molecular clouds to life' (SUL4LIFE) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Sulphur is the tenth most abundant element in the Universe and is known to play a significant role in biological systems. Moreover, some sulphur compounds have been proposed as necessary catalysts to form amino acids in the interstellar medium. However, while the carbon and oxygen budgets have been extensively studied, sulphur is the only element whose gas-phase abundance is still uncertain by several orders of magnitude, hindering the usage of elemental sulphur abundance as a reliable tool to probe planet formation. This lack of information is  due to the scarcity of  observations, specially in protoplanetary  disks, and the still large uncertainties in the sulphur chemical network. This project takes a decisive step to fix our knowledge of the sulphur chemistry with an innovative methodology that rests on three pillars: (i) To create an unprecedented database of high quality observations of sulphur-bearing molecules which allows us to trace the sulphur content from the natal molecular clouds to protoplanetary disks. Observations of the awarded IRAM Large Program GEMS have already provided part of this database. (ii) To perform ab initio calculations and laboratory experiments to estimate the key reaction rates that are needed to fix  the sulphur network and make chemical models reliable. Now, we know that the chemical composition of planet-forming disks is to a large extent inherited from the earliest phases of star formation. (iii) To perform bi-fluid (gas+dust) 3D magneto-hydrodynamics simulations with chemistry coupled  (chemo-MHD) to follow the chemical evolution of  the material  from the natal cloud to the planet-forming sites, and hence, to obtain accurate chemical predictions. This can be extensively done by using artificial inteligence to reduce the computing

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Near-zero-waste recycling of low-grade sulphidic mining waste for critical-metal, mineral and construction raw-material production in a circular economy' (NEMO), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

With an estimated volume of 600 Mtonne/yr and a historic stockpile of 28,000 Mtonne, sulphidic mining waste from the production of Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni, represents the largest volume of extractive waste in Europe. When poorly managed, these “tailings” may cause major environmental problems such as acid mine drainage. In 2016 EIP Raw Materials launched a “call to arms” to transform the “extractive-waste problem” into a “resource-recovery opportunity”, as “tailings” still contain valuable & critical metals. Using a “4 PILOTS – 2 case-studies” concept NEMO develops, demonstrates and exploits, therefore, new ways to valorise sulphidic tailings. The 2 cases are the Sotkamo Ni-Cu-Zn-REE/Sc mine in Finland and the Las Cruces Cu-mine in Spain; the 4 PILOTS are located at key points in the near-zero-waste flowsheet, encompassing the recovery of valuable & critical metals, the safe concentration of hazardous elements, the removal of sulphur as sulphate salts, while using the residual mineral fraction in cement, concrete and construction products. NEMO has established an interdisciplinary consortium, including 8 industrial partners (2 mining, 4 engineering, 1 machine manufacturing & 1 construction material company), 4 research institutes, 2 universities and 1 civil society group. NEMO’s near-zero-waste technology will provide the EU with both direct and long-term, indirect advantages. The former range from new resources (e.g. base metals: Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb; critical metals: Sc, Nd, Y, Sb; SCM and aggregates etc.), CO2 savings from metal recovery and the replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement), new job creation (> 150 FTEs), new revenues (> 200 M€/yr) while the latter represent the multiplication of the former benefits (cf. 28,000 Mtonne of these tailings), while eradicating acid-mine d
