user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'BENCHMARK TOOL TO IMPROVE PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The structure and organisation of production of Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) with small-batch manufacturing still contains much potential for improvement. Often, long throughput times, high stocks and organisational overheads are noticeable at these companies. High productivity and flexibility is required in order to stay competitive with low-wage countries in Eastern Europe and the Far East. Realisation of the required productivity and flexibility in a small-batch environment demands an intensive and integrated exploitation of both human resources and modern production techniques. To quickly identify these improvements in a company, a benchmark tool has been developed in the BETTI-project. This benchmark tool measures the performance of the company against companies in the same field that are regarded as good performers so that the potential for improvements in a company can be clearly identified. The database was used to select reference material to compare the performance of companies. To complete the database approximately 100 companies throughout Europe were benchmarked.The project Co-ordinator, Berenschot was the designer of the benchmarking tool BETTI - the other participants were six consultancies and one university from seven member states, who each carried out 'field trials' of BETTI on samples of between 10 and 20 SMEs within their countries. This consortium structure worked well, with each of the consultancies operating as a mini-project in a different country, but maintaining good lines of communication through regular meetings.BETTI is seen as a powerful tool for benchmarking, which could be applied widely in manufacturing industries across the EU. All the SMEs who took part in the project were said to have assessed the experience positively. S

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Biogeochemical Impacts Of Mixotrophy and Ecological Stoichiometry', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Marine phytoplankton and zooplankton communities mediate a large flux of carbon from the atmosphere into the ocean. This biogeochemical process has traditionally been modelled with the focus primarily on the supply and consumption of essential nutrients. I propose to broaden this approach to resolve important processes occurring at higher trophic levels. I plan to use observations and food-web models to examine how trophic interactions influence and control large-scale ecology and biogeochemical cycling. I will address two outstanding questions that have not yet been examined from this perspective.1) Marine ecosystem models have traditionally classified phytoplankton as strictly photoautotrophic consumers of inorganic nutrients. This view is challenged by recent observations showing that the majority of photosynthetic plankton also graze upon a large fraction of the bacterial community. These ``mixotrophic'' species combine autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition. They have a large capacity to increase the flux of carbon through the marine biota, but their ecology is not yet clearly understood. I will explore the mechanisms by which mixotrophs are able to compete in different environments, and I will examine how their success affects the cycling of elements at the ocean basin scale.2) Phytoplankton show large variability in their elemental composition. These changes are driven by adaptation and acclimation to different environments, and hence the changing balance of marine communities should affect elemental ratios across broad environmental gradients. This elemental variability is an important component of the global carbon cycle, but the underlying links between physiology, ecology and biogeochemistry are still poorly understood. I will ask how biodiversity can facili

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Predicting mixed forests responses to climate change and drought stress with a plant hydraulics model' (FORECAST) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The frequency and intensity of droughts are expected to increase in many regions of the world due to global climate change. Droughts can lead to widespread tree mortality, leading to a loss of carbon stored in forests that will feedback to exacerbate climate change. Thus, modelling forest responses to drought is critical for predicting climate change socio-economic and ecological impacts and informing conservation strategies. However, current models are not capable of adequately representing forest responses to drought, especially for mixed forests due to their diversity in species and functional traits. The proposed research intends to solve this problem by developing a model for mixed forests based on known biophysical constraints, plant functional traits and optimization theory. The model’s performance will be evaluated with (1) detailed measurements at Hayedo de Montejo (HM), a mixed Mediterranean forest with diverse functional traits, (2) data from a network of eddy-covariance towers that measure ecosystem fluxes, and (3) mortality data from two national forest inventories that span a wide range of forest types. Next, the model will be used for forecasting the vulnerability of HM to different climate change scenarios for guiding the conservation of this World Heritage Site.I will develop this project at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, one of Europe’s leading academic institutions. A secondment at Centro de Investigación Ecológica y Aplicaciones Forestales (Barcelona) will allow me to learn new modelling approaches, gain access to global plant databases, and establish new collaborations. A secondment at Dirección General de Medio Ambiente y Sostenibilidad de la Comunidad de Madrid, a non-academic institution in charge of HM’s management, will ensure intersectoral

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Enriched and fortified staple foods: application of novel technology for encapsulation of sensitive nutrients' (1998-2002), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Current consumers' belief about diet and specific bio-nutritional substances can help ward off chronic disease and improve quality of life, is creating an entirely new demand and a lucrative market for health-promoting fortified foods called functional foods". Today, all benefit health compounds as for example vitamins consumed by an individual are in product from of tablets, liquids or capsules. This form of administration has several drawbacks such as high cost, low stability and unknown degree of bioavailability. In addition due to the medicinal image, smell and flavour, some groups reject those products. It is therefore in the public interest that nutraceuticals should be supplemented in a widely available, non-expensive form. The solution proposed in this project consists in developing a food-grade matrix in which the nutraceuticas are incorporated thanks to the utilisation of a new ultrasonic spray-dryer, and that should serve as an ingredient added to widely consumed food products as bread and in further step milk derivate products as yoghurts."

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Global RFID Interoperability Forum for Standards' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

A support action for global RFID-related standardisation activities, involving in particular organisations from Europe, China, Japan, Korea and USA is sought and additional countries have been included to give good global coverage.  A world where global supply chains are the norm requires that RFID tags and associated sensors can operate, can be seen and can be interrogated anywhere in the world.  For maximum competitiveness and greatest efficiency this requires standards that are global and open in definition and in application.  GS1/EPC proposes a two year project to improve collaboration and thereby to maximise the global consistency of RFID standards.  Following the establishment of a worldwide view of the status of RFID standards, it is envisaged that the GRIFS project puts in place agreements for co-operation and initiates a Forum that will continue to work constructively thereafter.  The activities of the Forum will be overseen by an Advisory Board with high level representation of key standards and other related bodies and should continue beyond this support action for as long as required.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'TERABIT MAGNETIC STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The TERAMAGSTOR project aims through a systems approach at designing, fabricating and testing future perpendicular magnetic storage media with areal density larger than 1 Tbit/in2. To overcome the technological barriers limiting the areal density, the proposed approaches address both key media feasibility issues (thermal stability, writability, signal to noise ratio) and low cost, high throughput media fabrication methods. The approaches are based on the development of advanced film media (exchange spring and percolated media), nanolithographically patterned and  nanoparticles patterned by templates through an integration of professional skills (chemists, physicists, engineers, materials scientists).The activity will cover media preparation and characterisation, magnetization reversal processes, numerical micromagnetic simulations, measurements of write/read  recording characteristics and signal modelling and processing. The innovation  and the ultimate goal is to produce the first EU 1.8 /2.5HD with density in excess of 1 Tbit/in2 , through synergistic approach using EU groups and the exploitation by the two IND .It is based on previous work by most of the consortium members, which led to a record of 220 Gbits/in2 (Descartes prize 2005). The expected impact of TERAMAGSTOR is to open the way to a new generation of ultrahigh density magnetic recording media, through a basic investigation of magnetic phenomena in the nanoregime and the development of new fabrication processes,  favouring the EU technological progress and competitiveness in the key technological area of magnetic storage and in general to the ICT business.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Asymptotics of stochastic dynamical systems' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The proposed research will be concerned with applications of large deviations in areas of stochastic dynamical systems that exhibit discontinuities due to sudden changes in their parameters or due to the presence of heavy-tailed probability distributions. The goal is the understanding and analysis of the behaviour of these complex systems in time (focusing mostly in stability analysis) as well as in space (random graph models possessing nodes with a gigantic number of neighbours being a principal object of study). Besides analysis, the research will be concerned with applications to management and control via risk sensitive methods, i.e., to the design of stochastic systems. To this end, we will use methods available in other application areas for stochastic systems, such as financial markets. In the department af Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics at Heriot-Watt University there are active research groups in stability/performance of stochastic systems and in financial economics. The proposer will greatly b enefit by interactions with these two Heriot-Watt teams.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Impact Measurement and Performance Analysis of CSR' (IMPACT).

assistant: **Innovation**

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assumes greater practical significance and political relevance in the EU. A central concern is the extent to which CSR delivers benefits for economies, societies and the environment, providing a business contribution to the EU’s policies for growth, competitiveness, better jobs (Lisbon Strategy) and sustainable development (Gothenburg strategy). By contrast there is little empirical evidence on the impacts of CSR practices on company performance and the wider economy, or the social and environmental fabric of Europe, its nations and regions. There are no widely applied tools and methods that provide valid and representative assessments of the impacts of CSR. The IMPACT project addresses these gaps in knowledge. The project uses a common conceptual framework to develop and apply tools that enable assessment and comparison of CSR impacts – at micro (company), meso (sectoral and regional) and macro levels (nations states and EU). Indicators will be developed to assess the contribution of CSR impacts on EU policy objectives, for growth, competitiveness (including innovation), quality of jobs and environmental sustainability. A large-scale inter- and transdisciplinary empirical investigation will be carried out using four complementary methods: econometric analysis, company case studies, an analysis of different company and industrial networks and a Delphi study. All studies focus on five sectors important across the EU-27. The results will be synthesised and triangulated with each other. A foresight study will estimate ex ante future impacts of CSR. Recommendations will be addressed to policy-makers, especially those dealing with the CSR and the Lisbon and Gothenburg Strategies, also business leaders, CSR practitioners, civil society an

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Future European Tunisian Research Innovation  Cooperation' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The overall objective of the project FETRIC project is to improve the S&T cooperation between EU and Tunisia by strengthening bilateral cooperation between research and innovation actors, especially in the context of the upcoming Horizon 2020 programme and its future evolution. The project is divided into 5 work packages.- WP 1 is dedicated to “support policy dialogue between Tunisia and the EU” by gathering all the relevant bottom feedback from the project field and contributing to the preparation and implementation of the road map for future STI cooperation in a understandable form for policy-makers;- WP2 gives a special focus on the innovation processes in societal challenges of mutual interest such as Scarcity of resources, Energy (specifically renewable energy and energy saving) and High quality affordable food. After an in-depth analysis of the Tunisian STI system, a methodology will be applied to each of the identified societal challenges so as to bring research and innovation actors together and hence align EU – Tunisia science, technology and innovation chain processes.- WP3 named “Raising the EU- Tunisia S&T Cooperation” aims at improving knowledge and skills on scientific and technological matters so as to improve the quality and number of partnerships involving both researchers and entrepreneurs from Tunisia and Europe. This will mainly be done through the building and improvement of technical and management skills in the Liaison Office and the Tunisian networks of multipliers it coordinates.- WP4 is dedicated to develop efficient “Information, communication and dissemination activities” to increasing the visibility of FETRIC activities to make them more easily available to the scientific and technological communities from Tunisia and EU;- Finally, WP 5 is d

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'The environmental and socio-economic contribution of palm geotextiles to sustainable development and soil conservation'.

assistant: **Concept**

Palm leaf geotextiles offer considerable potential to contribute to global sustainable development and soil conservation. It is postulated that in the humid tropics, their use would promote sustainable and environmentally- friendly palm agriculture, labour -intensive employment, SME development and earn hard currency. In the industrialized world, they may assist the stabilization of complex slopes. The Project will test geotextile mats made from the leaf of 'Borassus aethiopum' and structurally-similar speci es in field and laboratory conditions, to evaluate their long-term effectiveness in controlling soil erosion and to assess their sustainability and socio- economic viability. Postulated benefits: a) For Sustainable Development in Developing Countries: i. T he promotion of sustainable and environmentally-friendly palm agriculture, in which farmers also profit from the palm geotextiles. As a potentially profitable technique, it will discourage deforestation and promote both reforestation and agroforestry. The technique may help conserve soil and water and improve soil. There are particular benefits for peri-urban gully stabilization and reclamation. These gullies threaten human life, safety and property. ii. Construction of palm geotextiles will develop into a rural based labour-intensive industry, particularly encouraging the employment of socially-disadvantaged groups, such as women, elderly and disabled people. This will in turn contribute to the stabilization of rural populations and SME development. iii. Ex port of completed palm geotextiles to industrialized countries will earn hard-currency and promote development based on the principles of fair trade. b) For Industrialized Countries: Palm geotextiles will benefit soil and water conservation in complex engi nee

user: Describe how 'Fighting blindness of Usher syndrome: diagnosis, pathogenesis and retinal treatment (TreatRetUsher)' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Usher syndrome (USH) is the most frequent hereditary cause of deafness associated to blindness. It is a rare disease, affecting 1 in every 10.000 individuals, with an autosomal recessive monogenic inheritance. Deafness is congenital while the retinitis pigmentosa is not detected before the age of 8 to 10. These patients suffer from a dreadful disability as their two major senses are impaired. Important scientific advances have been achieved, mostly by auditory scientists: 9 causative genes have been identified. The hearing impairment pathogenesis has been elucidated, ie, an early developmental defect of auditory sensory cells. Our project gathering scientists and physicians from both the auditory and visual fields aims : -to halt the no longer acceptable underdiagnosis of this syndrome. Because, children affected with Usher type I, the most severe form, are usually diagnosed as severely or profoundly deaf only, parents may choose visual/sign language whereas these children would have taken full advantage from an early cochlear implantation. -To make these patients benefit from gene replacement therapy in the retina that recently showed tremendous results. We propose : 1/ To develop new clinical and molecular tools and guidelines for an early diagnosis thereafter broadly disseminated. 2/To clarify the retinal pathogenesis of Usher syndrome (type I and II) by an unpreceding effort to generate animal and tissue models that will be characterised in depth by multidisciplinary investigations including innovative methods. Mouse, frog, pig in vivo models and cultured retinal explants will be used, as well as human retinal cultures. This will also provide the necessary tests to evaluate phenotype rescuing. 3/To prevent and treat the retinal defect by associated adenovirus (AAV)
