user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'New innovative solutions, components and tools for the integration of wind energy in urban and peri-urban areas' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

European Commission plans for wind energy development by 2020, highlights a fully competitive onshore wind power with 20% penetration. One of the better opportunities to fulfil this aim is the integration of small and medium wind turbines into urban and peri-urban environments, due to the potential market given. However, nowadays there are several barriers) that have relegated the Small Wind Turbines (SWTs) sector to stand as a minority choice among the renewable energy options.SWIP project expects to suppose a critical burst to the expansion of SWTs in Europe and worldwide. SWIP aims to develop, implement and test innovative solutions and components for tackling the current barriers the technology have, opening the way for a successful market uptake in the near future. These cutting-edge technology improvements will result in an important reduction of maintenance costs (near 40%), an increase in 9% in SWTs performance, the mitigation and/or elimination of noise and vibrations, likely reducing final users investment. All in all, SWIP will provide a new methodology for wind resource assessment in urban areas with a maximum of 8% RMS error in speed prediction. The whole development performed within the project, will be supported on the basis of aesthetical design and integration into urban environments, as well as scalability of solutions, as main drivers for project success. Three pilots for testing different solutions and different urban applications are envisaged.In order to achieve these goals, a well-balanced consortium, including ten different nationalities is given. The project is industrially driven, mainly by SMEs, which are the main actors in the small wind energy market. These five SMEs will provide their experience and knowledge, supported by a large company w

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Structure and molecular mechanism of p-glycoprotein' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content P-glycoprotein (PGP) is a membrane protein and its overexpression is linked to the occurrence of multidrug resistance (MDR). The molecular mechanism of PGP as well as its three-dimensional structure are unresolved and are both of enormous biochemical interest and clinical importance. The group at the host laboratory has overexpressed and purified both nucleotide-binding domains (NBD) of PGP. Using recombinant NBDs we attempt the following experiments. 1. The crystallisation of both domains to initiate X-ray crystallographic studies. It is generally intended co-crystallise the protein with a mechanistically relevant ligand. 2. The identification of binding sites for flavonoides and steroides which have been reported to act as modulators of MDR culture cells. Using highly purified PGP which is available for studies at the host laboratory we attempt to establish a system to determine the inhibitory capacities of modulators identified in experiments with the recombinant NBDs. Highly purified PGP will be inserted into liposomes to restore optimal activity of drug transport coupled to ATP hydrolysis and the effect of identified modulators ill be monitored. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) The applicant will receive training in working with membrane proteins in general and will especially learn to apply fluorescence spectroscopy to address biochemical problems. Links with industry / industrial relevance (22) Although no formal link is presently settled with the industry, the project is obviously of considerable interest for pharmaceutical and clinical purposes in the area of anticancer chemotherapy. As soon as potent inhibitors of multidrug resistance are identified appropriate contacts will be established for a possible

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'EARLY DYNAMIC SCREENING FOR COLORECTAL CANCER VIA NOVEL PROTEIN BIOMARKERS REFLECTING BIOLOGICAL INITIATION MECHANISMS' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

DIOPTRA aims to introduce a front-line screening tool that will consider risk factors and protein biomarkers for pinpointing individuals at a high risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence. Tissue & blood samples will be examined towards a discriminative set of prognostic proteins that are detectable via standard bloodwork and can indicate a need for further evaluation (i.e. colonoscopy). Other data (e.g. medical, behavioural) will also be considered as potential risk factors. Artificial intelligence (AI) will be leveraged for assessing prognostic power, while personalised behavioural change will be promoted based on modifiable risk factors. Given the low citizen participation on CRC screening across EU, DIOPTRA seeks to broaden the evaluated population, boosting participation rates and bypassing age screening thresholds. This action is part of the Cancer Mission cluster of projects on ‘Prevention, including Screening’.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'MuFFIN - Modelling Foraging Fitness in Marine predators', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

MuFFIN - Modelling Foraging Fitness in Marine predatorsRecent technological advances have permitted the collection of novel high-frequency information about animal behaviour,physiology and characteristics of the environment in which animals move. Such technology-driven achievements areexciting, but it is important to analyse these data with a view to their original objectives: understanding individual behaviour,predicting population processes and optimizing species monitoring and conservation programs. Despite a growing number oftracked animals, long term movement dataset are a present-day achievement. As a consequence, while many studies ofanimal movements are motivated by questions on population dynamics, the explicit connection between the two is rarelyattained. Through MUFFIN, I will make use of nearly ten years of high resolution bio-logging datasets collected on threespecies of top marine predators moving in environments difficult to monitor: Little penguins, Adelie penguins and Southernelephant seals. With these unique data, MUFFIN will answer questions related to effects of changes of availability of marineresources on breeding success, predators foraging behaviour, decision making and habitat use. I will (I) quantify changes inforaging behaviour across spatio-temporal scales, characterise type of foraging patches visited and energy spent. I will (II)model the effect of foraging patches visited, energy spent and environment encountered aiming to understand animaldecision making, use of environmental features and changes in space used. I will (III) link foraging behaviours, effort spentand type of patch to breeding success, highlighting fitness consequences of changes of behavioural patterns. Inaccomplishing MUFFIN's objectives I will open powerful new avenues fo

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Syrian Imaginations of Europe', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Refugees’ attempts to flee to a certain country are usually preceded by imaginations about possible destination countries. These imaginations not only contribute to refugees’ decisions where to seek asylum but also have an effect on how refugees experience realities when they eventually arrive in the destination country. The research project ‘SYRMAGINE – Syrian Imaginations of Europe’ focusses on how Europe is imagined by Syrian refugees settling in Syria’s neighbouring countries and examines how refugees’ imaginations affect their attitudes to seek asylum in European countries. SYRMAGINE understands “geographical imaginations” of Europe as subjective human conceptions of a geographical location and stresses the differences between “imagined regions” and reality. The project adopts an interdisciplinary mixed-method approach combining a large sample of individual surveys, semi-directive interviews and an online ethnography in two recipient and transit countries of Syrian refugees in the Middle East, Lebanon and Turkey. SYRMAGINE contributes to the academic literature on the active role of imaginations in refugees’ decision-making. From a policy perspective, it responds to one of the key priorities of the Horizon 2020 work programme 2016-2017, which is to investigate the governance of migration and asylum. The research is highly time relevant due to the surge of Syrian asylum application in Europe in the last years: Between April 2011 and June 2016, more than one million Syrians have applied for asylum in Europe (UNHCR 2016).The research project has the following three objectives: 1) to investigate the relation between refugees’ imaginations and decision-making and to study how the present country of residence compares to Europe as a destination choice, 2) to examine how

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Enhanced silicate weathering in agricultural rice paddies: maximisation of soil carbon sequestration and crop production, while reducing the overall greenhouse gas emissions' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

In order to limit global warming to the well below 2C of the United Nations Paris Agreement, model projections indicate that both rapid decarbonisation and the implementation of negative emission technologies (NETs) that ensure long-term stable carbon (C) sequestration will be required. Among NETs, enhanced weathering (EW) of silicate rocks can remove CO2 from the atmosphere, while potentially delivering co-benefits for agriculture (e.g. reduced nitrogen losses, increased yields, increased drought and salinity resistance) and reducing the overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from this activity. Thus, EW application may be of special interest on rice paddies since they: emit large quantities of methane (up to 11 % of global CH4 emitted); have high water demands and might face drought episodes due to climate change; and are exposed to salinity stress in Europe since they are cultivated in coastal areas. Although some studies have studied the effects of silicate waste on rice paddies, none of them have combined natural silicate rocks and waste simultaneously. Moreover, quantification of inorganic C sequestration through EW and the potential risks in terms of heavy metal contamination have rarely been assessed. The main goal of EWRECA is to develop an agricultural management practice for rice paddies that (i) minimises the GHG emissions, while maximising (ii) rice production (biomass and quality), and (iii) C sequestration. Moreover, EWRECA aims to re-use crushed concrete fines, an artificial silicate from construction waste, thus enhancing material circular economy. To achieve this objective, a mesocosm field experiment will be set up applying different agricultural management treatments. Responses on GHG emissions, plant biomass and soil microbial communities will be as

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Double network hydrogels for topical drug delivery applications', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Polymer hydrogels contain over 90% water and are very useful materials in many biomedical areas such as contact lenses, drug delivery, wound healing, among others. However, many hydrogels are mechanically underperforming in that they are either too weak or too brittle. Double network hydrogels have shown significant promise to overcome this issue and mechanically strong or stretchable, elastic double network hydrogels have been reported. The overall aim of this project is to develop a new class of stretchable biocompatible double network hydrogels based on polypeptides as patches for transdermal drug delivery. The project will develop novel chemistry to achieve materials with enhanced properties validated for a drug delivey application by a multidisciplinary approach combining expertise in polymer chemistry, material science, drug delivery and biomaterial science. The project will foster new collaboration opportunities between research groups from different scientific fields. The high-level science is complemented by bespoke training activities, which will significantly advance the career opportunities of the applicant. A particular feasture of the project is the proposed development of a hydrogel school experiment in collaboration with the teachers-in-residence programme of the Irish Centre for Medical Device (CURAM) to foster scientific interest, motivation and encouragement for pupils in schools located in disadvantaged communities. Moreover, commercial exploitation of the scientific findings and developments will be explored.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Engineering tomato against environmental stress' (TOMSTRESS) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Ozone and other air pollutants may cause major crop losses in today's agriculture, and predictions suggest that this problem will only aggravate in the near future, in spite of current efforts to control anthropogenic emissions into the atmosphere. Although the problem is generally well recognized (EU directives 92/72/EEC; 96/62/EC), estimates on actual crop losses are very approximate. Moreover, our understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms does not allow to appraise indirect losses, due for example to increased susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stress. The objectives of this proposal are i) to provide data on ozone effects on tomato growth and fruit quality in both controlled chambers and open-top chambers in the field for the improvement of current critical levels for ozone, ii) to further our understanding on the role of two factors that are thought to be determining for air pollution sensitivity, i.e. ethylene and antioxidant enzymes, iii) to assess whether reduced susceptibility to air pollution and other oxidative stress conditions can be attained through genetic engineering of antioxidant enzymes. Tomato is chosen as a model plant because there are indications that this high input crop is sensitive to environmental stresses such as ozone and high light, it is amenable to transgene technology (in fact, it is amongst the first transgenic products to be released on the European market), and it is a crop of great nutritional value (being in many cases the major source of vitamin C intake) and economical importance. The competitiveness of Mediterranean tomatoes may be leveled up by reducing the susceptibility of the tomato fruit to environmental stress. U.S. tomatoes are harvested at an earlier, and therefore less sensitive, stage of fruit maturation.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'FEEDBACK IN TEAM COMPETITIONS' (FeedbackTeamContest).

assistant: **Innovation**

Although the effect of feedback on performance in individual competitions is analyzed both theoretically and experimentally, there are only few studies analyzing the effect of feedback on team performance in team competitions. The purpose of this research project is to understand the role of feedback in team competitions in various environments. There will be two parts in the project. In the first part, the effect of feedback on performance in individual and team competitions will be compared (both endogenously and exogenously formed teams will be considered). In this part, there will be just one task and team performance will be the sum of team members’ efforts. In the second part of the project, the effect of feedback will be analyzed in an environment where two complementary tasks will be assigned to team members. In this case, the amount of complementarity will be the free parameter and how agents choose their teammates (endogenously or exogenously) will be varied. Both projects will be experimental studies. In addition to the significant contribution to the literature, the project plans to contribute to workplace-innovation policy  of Europe, which aims at “… improving staff motivation, thereby enhancing labor productivity, organizational performance, innovation capability, and consequently business competitiveness”. The project will contribute to this objective by finding out the most stimulating tournament environment for workers.
