user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Optimization of Si solar cells, plastic materials and technologies for the development of more efficient concentRatION photovoltaic systems' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The development of renewable energy is a central aim of the EU Commission's energy policy. Concentration PhotoVoltaics (CPV) has been demonstrated to be a good solution in PV industry and in the last years has become more attractive and several companies have been founded with the main goal of decreasing the cost of PV-generated electricity. The main objective of this project is the optimization of materials and technologies involved in CPV System production to reduce system cost/watt and increase system efficiency.  The reduction of system cost/watt, that reflects in reduction of PV-generated electricity, will be achieved by: -developing an all-plastic system by using recycled plastic compounds; -developing Si solar cells for automatic assembling technology; -implementing and industrializing automated high-rate technologies for cell assembly and optics production. The increase of system efficiency will be achieved by: -increasing Si concentration cell efficiency by using surface plasmonic crystal structures; -developing plastic materials doped with down-converting nanoparticles for modification of the solar spectrum to enhance the cell efficiency. The scientific objectives concern optimization of Si solar cell and the development of new application-addressed nanocomposite thermoplastic material. Technological objectives concern the implementation and industrialization of automated low-cost technologies for CPV components fabrications. The scientific and technological objectives of the project will be exploited by the realization of a low –CPV system with a projection 2-3 €/Watt . The new system, ready to be produced at the end of the project, will be based on Si concentration solar cell technology coupled to hybrid mirror-lens concentrator optical system. The project a

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Fast All-Electric Cantilever for Bio-Applications'.

assistant: **Concept**

Advances in micro-, nano-, and biotechnology put increasing demands on nanoscale microscopy and characterization. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is one of the highest resolution microscopy methods used in this area. This project focuses on new sensor technology for the detection of the cantilever deflection for high-speed AFM cantilevers. This new technology allow the fabrication of much smaller, thinner and thereby faster cantilevers for high-speed AFM, and make them suitable for a much broader range of applications, especially in the life sciences. While traditional AFMs use optical detection of the cantilever sensor and yield very high resolution images, their imaging speed is low. They are difficult to automate and the integration into other analysis techniques is limited due to the required optical components. This project aims at removing these limitations for a large area of attractive AFM-applications such as fast analysis in materials science and biological applications. The innovative concept is based on ""Fast All-eLectric Cantilever for biO applicatioNs“ FALCON. The FALCON cantilevers will use novel granular tunnelling resistors (NTR), which are fabricated with a mask-less direct writing technique: focused electron-beam-induced deposition (FEBID). The AFM cantilever will be equipped with an NTR deflection sensor that directly measures the cantilever signal electrically, which removes the need for optical cantilever detection. Recent improvements in AFM cantilever technology have increased the imaging speed of AFM by up to two orders of magnitude by miniaturizing AFM cantilevers (SCL and AMG-T). The unique approach in this proposal, which builds on new materials and fabrication processes (NANOSS), will allow the manufacturing of unprecedented small cantilever

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Scalable Graphene-enabled ElectroChemical Treatment for Complete Destruction of “Forever Chemicals” in Contaminated Water' (GRAPHEC).

assistant: **Concept**

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used since the 1940s and are known as “forever chemicals” due to their extreme persistency to advanced (waste)water treatment strategies. Due to the strength of the C-F bond, each released molecule of PFAS remains in the environment. Today there are more than 9,000 known PFAS, majority of them being extremely resistant to any kind of degradation, and with high bioaccumulation potentials and toxicities. Electrochemical processes can address the challenge of PFAS presence in water, provided that the anode material is low cost and can break the C-F bond without forming toxic byproducts. Graphene sponge anode developed by our team is the first material to fulfill both requirements. In this project, we will aim at upscaling the electrochemical treatment based on graphene sponge electrodes and testing its long-term performance in degrading PFAS from complex residual streams. This will enable us to answer key scientific and technical questions required for further technology adoption by the water industry, many of them related to the fundamental mechanisms of electrochemical C-F bond breakage and features of anodically polarized graphene. Based on the results achieved to date at lab-scale, GRAPHEC technology has a strong potential to evolve into a sustainable, chemical-free destruction technology for PFAS-laden wastewaters and achieve their complete destruction at ambient temperature and pressure, in modular units, with low capital and operational cost.Finally, this project also aims at keeping the existing intellectual property and engaging early technology adopters in Europe and beyond to form a mature network of future clients and reach a technology readiness level (TRL) 6 at the end of the project.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Exploring the glycosylation process during infection' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Cellular Glycosylation is a finely tuned process that is very suscpetible in changes due to environmental stimuli. We have preliminary data showing that intestinal infections in mice and rats are capable in changing the glycosylation profile of intestinal glycoproteins. We speculate that this could be due to a translational regulation of glycosyltransferases. Hence, we would like to use RT-PCR and quantiative proteomic to identify specific glycosyltransferases affected by the infection cycle.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Physical Activity and Nutrition INfluences In ageing' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Life expectancy is increasing dramatically, but the period of good health (healthspan) enjoyed by most is not keeping pace, with implications for health, social care, and pensions resulting in estimated costs more than doubling by 2050. Thus, understanding the many factors that contribute to healthy ageing versus frailty, and validating interventions and influencing policy to promote healthy ageing is a cross-cutting research priority in Europe. Given the considerable impact of lifestyle factors on healthy ageing and disease, there is a surprising lack of innovative multi-disciplinary training and research examining the influence of physical activity and nutrition on age-related changes at gene to societal level. PANINI will address this gap by coordinating research laboratories across Europe to focus on cutting-edge ageing and health research through training 11 ESRs across scientific disciplines to create a holistic approach to the challenge of ageing in the 21st Century. PANINI is a European Training Network with 8 world-leading beneficiaries working on Healthy Ageing and 10 non-academic partners carefully selected for quality and range of sectors. These vary in size including 1 large nutrition company, 5 SMEs, 2 charities, 1 healthcare partnership and 1 EU Joint Research Centre. PANINI’s vision is to implement multidisciplinary cross-sectoral research and training of a new cohort of researchers taking a radically innovative approach to overcome the challenge of unhealthy ageing. The main goals of PANINI are to: integrate expertise from basic biomedical science and technology to applied clinical practice; standardise measurements across the network to create a toolkit and shared dataset; provide multidisciplinary training secondments to expose ESRs to healthcare and

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Sustainable nanoHVOF and nanoaxialPlasma coating solutions against wear problems of extrusion machines allowing an eco-efficient use of materials and the increase of recycling in the plastics industry' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Company Thermico has developed the first technology that enables to highly increase the share of recycling in the EU plastics industry. This cost-effective coating technology – called nanoHPcs – solves wear and corrosion problems in critical components of plastics extrusion machines. Today, plastics and fibre-reinforced plastics have become the first material of use in many sectors (construction, automotive, aviation, etc.), being in many cases lighter, cheaper, more resistant and recyclable than metal. This highly affects the production equipment, as for plastics extrusion, machines must cope with increasing production amounts and requirements. Even more challenging is the extrusion of waste materials and of plastics aggregates with abrasive metal, ceramic, glass and wooden particles. The challenge in this industry is to make recycled plastics as pricely attractive as raw plastics material. Since recycled plastic is much more abrasive, extrusion machines must not lose any performance through incorporating the recycled material. Compared to conventional coating methods, nanoHPcs can enhance the share of plastics recycling in the industry by at least 10%, displaying a fantastic price-performance ratio, a reduction of more than 50% of production costs of critical components and of up to 70% of coating manufacturing and finish processing costs. With help of the SME-Instrument, Thermico expects by 2023 a turnover increase from currently €5.3 million to €40.2 million, a staff increase of 132 employees and a market share in its calculated addressable market of 15%. To guarantee a successful market introduction, Thermico will build strong references through numerous field tests at customers. Thermico could therefore acquire 4 launching customers: 1 OEM, 2 repairers and retaile

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Tracking and decoding individual memories across the brain from creation to long-term storing'.

assistant: **Innovation**

How can we vividly remember so many episodes of our life that, by definition, only happened once? During wakefulness, the hippocampus – a brain structure critical for episodic memory – encodes ‘memory traces’ of our experience. During sleep, it “replays” the very same sequences of neurons that were originally activated during the awake episode. Such reactivations are essential for memory consolidation. Over the years, a growing body of studies have unveiled “on-site” reactivations within the hippocampus, sometimes with a neocortical or subcortical “partner” structure, but the overall activity in the brain during these events remains largely unknown. It is unclear whether brain regions replay memory traces all at once or separately. This is a major knowledge gap because numerous cortical and subcortical structures strongly influence memory. In this project, we propose a unique combination of recording and analysis techniques to reveal the whole-brain correlates of hippocampal replay. To achieve this, we will use functional ultrasound, a newly emerging technology which monitors subtle changes in cerebral blood flow over the whole brain at a resolution up to tens of milliseconds, in combination with high-density electrophysiology, the actual gold-standard to record neuronal activity. With the help of a dedicated behavioral task, we will first establish ‘brain maps’ associated with hippocampal replay and then learn how to decode a specific memory trace from these maps. In a second time, we will investigate how emotional valence affects these maps, and in particular how replay patterns are modified over the course of learning. This project has the potential to track across the brain an individual memory trace from its creation to storage, all along consolidation processes. T

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Disruptive purification consumables for the pharmaceutical industry'.

assistant: **Innovation**

SEPARATIVE is a novel chemical purification and analysis method based on a ground-breaking multicapillary material and the related manufacturing process, both protected by four patents. This brand-new material allows to offer reusable low-pressure High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) columns. It is the first innovation that achieves chromatographic purification and analysis results without the high pressure and high cost of the state-of-the-art chromatography.  SEPARATIVE reduces the cost of current chromatography by a factor of 10-50. Within the pharmaceutical chromatography market, four types of columns are. Two of these types – flash and preparative – can directly be reached with our first market entrance product range. The flash columns market size is around €240 million and the preparative €110 million. Of those €350 million, we will reach around €240 million with our first business case and then extend the range and the span of the obtainable market. There is a dynamic growth trend with flash columns growing at 10% annually and preparative at 5%. Being able to use chromatography beyond the experimentation phase would bring several technological advantages to the healthcare industry: Better quality of drugs due to higher purity, lower investments for production plants (savings of 59% for separation), lower manufacturing costs due to better yields (no losses of valuable material in process) and higher security of manufacturing process due to lower volumes of flammable and toxic solvents. This accelerates pharmaceutical innovation and allows citizens to have access to drugs faster.SEPARATIVE SAS is a start-up hosted at IFPEN (IFP Energies Nouvelles, a major development centre for process industries, renowned worldwide and Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2005).

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'EUROPRACTICE IC service: Access to CAD tools and access to IC technologies for prototyping and small volume manufacture' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The EUROPRACTICE IC project serves the needs of 700 customers (academics, research laboratories and companies) through a broker function with CAD vendors, foundries, library vendors, assembly and test houses. EUROPRACTICE negotiates low cost conditions to distribute CAD licenses for IC, subsystem and microsystem design to European universities and research laboratories for educational and non-commercial projects. EUROPRACTICE negotiates the best conditions with selected foundries to offer low cost prototyping through the organisation of MPW runs. Foundry supplied design kits for the EUROPRACTICE IC technologies are checked, modified to work with the supported versions of the tools then consolidated onto CD-ROMs for secure low-cost distribution. EUROPRACTICE offers a total solution to European SMEs, operating in local small markets or niche markets, for small volume delivery including IC design, prototyping and delivery of IC components. To offer IC design for the end-customer a network of Alliance Partners, fabless commercial design houses, is set up. To deliver IC components in small volumes, a solution is worked out with the selected foundries that complements their high volume offer. EUROPRACTICE acts as a one-stop shop for the end-customer and subcontracts wafer fabrication, packaging and testing and delivers the IC components to the end-customer. EUROPRACTIVE plans to establish strong links with partners of future 5th framework RTD, Best Practice and First User projects in order to promote the use of the EUROPRACTICE service and to get advise and early access to new CAD tools and IC technologies through the partners of the RTD projects. A strong marketing and promotion action is planned.
