user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'NanoConfinement effects from Capacitors to Catalysis' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The societal transformation to renewable energy necessitates more efficient ways to store energy. This can be achieved by direct energy storage in batteries or supercapacitors (SCs) or by using electrocatalysis to convert energy, e.g., to green hydrogen. The efficiency of such processes can be enhanced, by increasing the surface of the electrode. Increase of the surface can be achieved by introducing pores into the electrodes. However, in recent years the porosity has reached the nanometre scale. At this scale the pores become so small that the interfacial layer known as double-layer, as well as ions at the surface, are confined. In NanoC3, we aim to understand the effect of confinement of ions and of the double-layer on charge storage and hydrogen production. For this purpose, we will analyze materials, with unprecedented control of the pore size, provided from collaborations with material scientists, using innovative surface science techniques. These measurements are enabled by the expertise of the ER in microcalorimetry and of the host institution in spectroscopy and electrocatalysis. To study confinement of the double-layer, gold electrodes with tuneable slits will be provided by Serge Lemay (Twente, NL). Gold is a well-studied model electrode to investigate the double-layer and hydrogen evolution, allowing for comparison of the results with literature data. Theoretical calculations will be performed by Alexei Kornyshev (Imperial College, UK).To obtain the even smaller pore sizes necessary to study ion confinement, MoS2 and V2O5 electrodes will be provided by S. Fleischmann (KIT, GER). These layered materials can be tuned by intercalating molecular pillars, leading to an increase of the interlayer spacing. MoS2 can be used to substitute the expensive Pt in the hydro

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Outwitting the enemy: do invasive snakes and local lizards engage in a cognitive arms race?”' (2021-2027) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Cognition is often assumed to be beneficial, as it allows individuals to adjust to all kind of environmental challenges. However, which exact environmental challenges drive the evolution of animal cognition remains an open question. Predation is often raised as an important driver of cognitive evolution, because animals that can improve their antipredator behaviour through learning may survive better, especially in dangerous environments. How environmental predation risk influences prey cognition is, however, only scarcely studied, with conflicting results. Here, I plan to make use of an unique opportunity to investigate the role of predation in cognitive evolution. I will examine how changes in predation pressure, caused by an invasion of alien snakes into the island of Ibiza, affect the cognition of endemic lizards. I will test how predation risk affects cognitive variation among and within populations of prey, and specifically the trade-off between learning speed versus accuracy (i.e. cognitive style), an understudied aspect of cognition in this context. Another gap in our knowledge is how exactly cognitive abilities help individuals to avoid being predated, and hence as a second goal I will test whether individual's cognitive performance and style relate to their ability to recognize and respond to predators. Finally, one aspect that has rarely been taken into consideration in the past, is how the cognitive abilities of the predator itself affect prey cognition and vice versa. As a final goal, I will test the exciting unexplored hypothesis of a cognitive arms race between predator and prey. In addition, this project will also integrate neuroscience with cognitive ecology, and delve deeper into the genetic and neural mechanisms underlying cognitive changes in prey an

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Advanced Manipulation for Deep Underwater Sampling - Phase II'.

assistant: **Objectives**

AMADEUS is a programme of work focused on improving the dexterity and sensory abilities of underwater manipulation systems, in support of marine geology and benthic science. It aims to enhance the generic manipulative abilities of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV), to supplement or substitute for surface deployed dredgers, corers and samplers. Phase 1 of the programme will draw to a close at the end of December 1995. In it, a dextrous three fingered underwater gripper has been developed, incorporating force and slip sensors, which employs a control system to allow automatic grasping of objects up to 150mm diameter and 5Kg mass in conditions of zero visibility. At the end of phase 1, it will operate as a laboratory prototype, and demonstrate sampling operations on typical objects. Phase 2 will progress to grasping much larger and heavier objects, and to carrying out trials in the ocean with marine geologists and benthic scientists. Of particular interest is the co-ordinated use of a pair of UUV manipulators for grasping and manipulation, and the incorporation and use of additional sensory information such as optical and acoustic vision. This addresses areas C.2.1, C.2.2, C.1.1 and C.1.3 of the MAST III workplan. To this end, the sensing and control computational hierarchy will be implemented for automatic grasping and manipulation using a pair of underwater manipulators. Also, the existing gripper technology from phase 1 will be ruggedised, reduced in size and mounted on an existing 7 function underwater manipulator. In parallel, an investigation into the use of vision information using CCD cameras, fibre optic bundles and echo sounders will enhance the gripper/manipulator sensor suite. The manipulators and gripper will be mounted on a suitable test frame, and deployed

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Innate-Like T-Cells In Sepsis (ILTIS): Implications for Early Diagnosis and Rescue of Immune Suppression.' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Research on infectious diseases has high priority for the scientific and medical communities worldwide, to tackle the alarming spread of multidrug resistant bacteria and to fight and prevent virus outbreaks. On the French island of La Réunion, infections such as leptospirosis and chikungunya pose considerable threats for public health.  My career aspiration is to establish myself as a clinical scientist in the field of immunology of microbial infections, especially in severe conditions such as septic shock and leptospirosis. I am also interested in deciphering the emerging role of host cell-derived factors (HSDF) in shaping the innate immune response. The immune response to pathogens and HSDF involves numerous cell types and soluble factors such as cytokines but remains ill-characterized. A better understanding of the cellular and molecular signatures in acute disease may pave the way to better and earlier diagnosis, targeted treatment and improved outcomes. The aim of the proposed study is to study the phenotype and function of innate immune cells during sepsis, with a particular focus on γδ T-cells, neutrophils and monocytes. This translational research involves bed to bench-side approaches (clinical investigations on septic shock during community-acquired pneumonia) and in vitro studies in cell culture, by analysing cell viability and activation as well as key cellular functions such as cytokine release, phagocytosis and antigen presentation in relation to the causative pathogen. I am keen to link this project with my previous studies on immune-mediated cell death during septic shock and on the early immune response to leptospirosis. The possibility to join the internationally renowned immunology teams at Cardiff University will be of great benefit to my research and

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Spin dynamics and transport at the quantum edge in low dimensional nanomaterials' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Sustainable development in information technology calls for an ever increasing information processing and storage capability. A promising route to maintain exponential growth capability, i.e. to keep on the Moore's roadmap, is to turn to the electron spins as information carriers rather than their charge. This field, spintronics, has enormous potential whose exploitation requires solid knowledge in the fundamentals of spin dynamics and spin transport. Herein, novel nanomaterials are suggested for spintronics purposes, such as graphene and single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). These, fundamental two- and one-dimensional carbon allotropes are promising candidates for such purposes, carbon being a light element with a low spin-orbit coupling which results in a long spin coherence. There are several fundamental open issues, e.g. the dominant spin orbit coupling mechanism in graphene, whether bulk electron spin resonance can be observed for this material, and the length of the spin diffusion length. For SWCNTs, the ground state of isolated metallic tubes is known to be the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL), which greatly limit the spin coherence, but it is at present open whether this state is destroyed when an ensemble of interacting metallic tubes is studied. The decay time and spin symmetry of optical excitations (excitons) in semiconducting SWCNTs is yet unknown.Our goal is to pursue electron spin resonance in graphene and carbon nanotubes and to perform optically detected magnetic resonance in carbon nanotubes. We will commission a magnetoptical spectrometer with a substantial added value.The expected results are characterization of spin transport capabilities of these materials and understanding of the spin decoherence mechanisms.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Data Quality of Complex Surveys within the New European Information Society' (DACSEIS).

assistant: **Concept**

The European statistics faces the difficult task of creating for the future a harmonised and reliable socio-economic database for the New Economy in an united Europe.The definitions used in the member states of the EU need to be made conform and the quality of data gained from complex surveys more homogeneous. Heart of the problem is to obtain practical and usable methods for variance estimation in complex multi-purpose sampling, which enables the user to effectively and reliably estimate variances with comparable standards for the relevant national surveys by choosing from an obtainable list of criteria. This leads to a harmonised and standardised European quality management system in statistics.In order to fulfil this task, all currently available methods of variance estimation need to be analysed, classified, evaluated and improved. This will be achieved on the one hand by a Monte-Carlo study with simulated realistic universes of the relevant national surveys, and on the other hand through coordinated theoretical research by an international group of experts. The results of the project will be made available to all statistical institutions, official, non-official, and theoretical statistics.Errors of data are in the extent dangerous in political and economic use, as they remain unknown. Therefore, the aim of DACSEIS is to ensure a mapping of the reality of economic and social conditions into a reliable statistics database with minimum biases and high accuracy. This leads to a best practice recommendation of the methods for practitioners as well as to a discussion of possibilities to harmonise different surveying methods.Work description:The research project DACSEIS provides an European quality-management-system for socio-economic data in the national statistical sect

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Global cape-open support' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The objective of GCO-Support is to establish and operate during two years the dissemination actions needed for ensuring a proper acceptance of the CAPE-OPEN standard among users, providers and researchers. The goal of CAPE-OPEN and of Global CAPE-OPEN projects, both supported within the EC Brite-EuRam, are to define open interface standards for Computer-Aided Process Engineering software, enabling interoperability between components from heterogeneous sources. This will enable process industries to develop better and more accurate models for design and operation of their processes. The GCO-Support actions are: dissemination events; a newsletter; a web site; a users network. These actions target SMEs, large Companies and educational institutions. The result of GCO-Support will be a wider adoption of the Standards, triggering development of new CO-compliant components and thus providing additional benefits for users and providers of CAPE models.

user: Describe how 'GENOMIC AND TRANSCRIPTIONAL ANALYSIS OF GLIOBLASTOMA MICROENVIRONMENTAL CELLULAR SUBSETS USING ANTIBODY MICROARRAYS' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The applicant is an experienced researcher with the objective of completing comprehensive training in translational research on Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), one of the most common malignant and lethal primary brain tumor of adults, with the final aim of disposing of personalized therapeutic protocols for GBM and cancer patients. The project is based on the finding that human tumors, particularly GBMs, are composed of a mixture of cancer, immune, stromal and vascular cells. The non-cancerous cellular components of the tumor microenvironment appear to play a critical role in tumor development and progression. At UCLA (Los Angeles, U.S.A.), the Mischel Lab has developed the DNA Encoded Antibody Library (DEAL) microarray, to sort specific cellular subtypes from solid tumor samples. The selective capture of tumor cells, lymphocytes, microglia and vascular endothelial cells, directly from GBM biopsy samples, will be obtained by DEAL technology. Genomic and transcriptional analysis will be performed on DEAL sorted cellular subtypes in order to identify novel molecular targets for therapeutic intervention. Genomic and transcriptional findings will be validated with functional assays in model systems: oncogene overexpression, gene silencing and pharmacological inhibition will be applied in order to identify the factors that inhibit the growth and survival of GBMs. In the first phase of the fellowship, at UCLA, the applicant will be utilizing cutting edge nanotechnology and resources that will provide her with outstanding interdisciplinary skills and competences. The applicant will then have the professional maturity to transfer her novel knowledge to the University of Verona (Italy), enriching the scientific excellence of Europe and bridging a new set of collaborations between

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Localised decarbonisation pathways for citizens, local administrations and businesses to inform for mitigation and adaptation action' (LOCALISED), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The objective of LOCALISED is to downscale national decarbonization trajectories consistent with Europe's net-zero target to the local levels and provide the results to local authorities, citizens and businesses, in a way that would speed up the uptake of mitigation and adaptation actions. To this end, the project will create effective and clearly understandable tools that transform localised data on possible decarbonisation pathways by 2030 and 2050 into knowledge for action, namely: (1) the Decarbonisation Profiler for municipalities, regions and their citizens, providing information in all 24 EU languages, and (2) the Net-Zero Business Consultant tool. The tools will allow local authorities and policy-makers as well as citizens and businesses: to identify viable combinations and best practices of (sectoral) mitigation and adaptation measures for every NUTS3 region on how to reach the goals of the downscaled pathways and to introduce an adapted-to-case service for implementation and monitoring of SECAPs. This is closing a gap as the few currently available European platforms providing information on energy transition to net-zero in Europe have so far limited their scope and results to the national level (EUCalculator, INNOPATHS, CTI-2050), which is of little use at the level where the changes must be implemented. The project will additionally engage with EU citizen groups to inform how climate change and different EU net-zero scenarios positively and negatively affect their life and what share of mitigation can be enhanced via key behavioural change. Three local and five associated partners from local and regional administrations and business organisations will inform the development and test the tools. They will also be instrumental in supporting upscaling and replic

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Enhancing SCience Appeal in Learning through Argumentative inTEraction' (ESCALATE) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Argumentation-Based (A-B) learning environments have seen a growing recognition in recent years. These had an affect on the understanding and design of learning and teaching in different disciplines. Science education, in particular, is gradually abandoning concept learning and moving towards learning through argumentative reasoning and argumentative communication. Such activities are often ICT-mediated; an example is our" DUNES environment (IST-2001-34153).Science Education also favors an enquiry-based (E-B) approach where students can experiment with and create artifacts and models for scientific work. An example is "our" LeGa project (GSRT-03-26) constituting a 3-d modeler for students to experiment and express ideas. Following recent research - showing that engagement in experimenting and arguing (i.e. both A-B and E-B) is a key contribution for science learning - and based on the results of our previous R&D work, ESCALATE is intended to:- Implement, in genuine learning contexts, our approach to science learning by means of A&E-B methods and tools.- Conduct this implementation in parallel pilot studies/trials in schools and in informal science learning environments in France, Greece, Israel, Switzerland and UK.- Create a critical mass of teachers capable of maintaining the implementation beyond the project's life.- Prepare a volume describing the experience and issuing recommendations to guide similar initiatives.- Operationally disseminate the results, mainly through the Kaleidoscope NoE (IST-FP6-507838).Auxiliary objectives and means:- Designing learning activities featuring argumentative discourse in science.- Training science teachers to design, animate & evaluate A&E-B activities in classrooms.- Using existing ICT tools to mediate discussions among students and
