user: Draft an impact statement for 'Efficient valorisation of  CO2 and bio-waste for long-term energy storage using a microwave plasma torch and quenching using the reverse Boudouard reaction', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Now that renewable energy generation is already competitive in cost with electricity obtained from fossil fuels, the development of efficient long term energy storage methods seems crucial for  a faster transition to a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions EU economy. Power-to-X methods are promising due to their negligible discharge rate but up to now all the efforts have been based on the use of H2 obtained by electrolysis, and the TEAs have shown that the high cost of the electrolysers hinders greatly its possibilities of industrial use.EffiTorch aims at developing an alternative breakthrough technology for Power-to-X based on the direct splitting of CO2, using an ultra-high temperature thermal plasma, with the simultaneous valorisation of low value bio-waste, leading to the efficient  production of syngas. EffiTorch aims to reach carbon efficiencies higher than 90% and energy efficiencies higher than 60%, outperforming the best solutions available presently.Some of the research groups in Effitorch have a vast experience in CO2 splitting using Microwave (MW) plasma torches. Nevertheless, recently  a compound approach that combines CO2 splitting by thermal plasmas with a quenching using the very endothermic reverse Bouduard reaction (RBR) has been developed in China that  vastly improves the promising results obtained  in the splitting of CO2 , while solving one of the yet unresolved issues, that of the efficient separation of the gases obtained. EffiTorch aims to explore the possibilities offered by a much improved version of the experimental set-ups used by the Chinese groups, including additional sophistications like the ultrasonic atomization of a bio-oil obtained by Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) from sewage sludge, the use of high temperature reactors with plasma c

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Triplet Energy Transfer at Hybrid Organic-Lanthanide Nanoparticle Interfaces'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The generation, control and transfer of triplet excitons in molecular and hybrid systems is of great interest for optoelectronic applications such as light emission, singlet fission and upconversion, as well as for sensitization and triggering photochemical reactions. Recently, the host group has discovered that it is possible to couple molecular triplet excitons to the f→f transitions of lanthanide nanocrystals, efficiently transferring energy between them. This allows for the direct generation of triplet excitons with near-IR excitation and luminescent harvesting of the dark triplet excitons via transfer to lanthanide nanocrystals. This discovery also opens up a promising new avenue for photochemistry/photocatalysis applications, as LnNPs are both non-toxic and highly photostable even within aqueous environments.The project will build on this discovery to develop the fundamental science of this new platform for optoelectronics and photochemistry. Specifically, we will develop a series of highly controlled solution phase systems, where organic molecules will be directly covalently attached to the lanthanide nanocrystals. The lanthanide doping concentration of the nanoparticles, as well as the distance between organic and lanthanide will be carefully controlled to produce model systems. These systems will then be studied with steady state and time resolved spectroscopy with the aim of elucidating the underlying mechanism controlling the triplet exciton transfer and coupling between triplets and lanthanide ions. We will also perform a proof of concept experiment to demonstrate the use of these systems for photo-catalysis. These fundamental investigations will open up new possibilities for optoelectronics, molecular sensing, upconversion, photocatalysis and bio-imaging.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'The CONsumer COmpetence Research Training', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Consumer science is touching the lives of 493 million EU Consumers with their consumption representing 58% of the EU GDP, yet the insights of consumer research typically fail to have a substantial impact on consumer welfare. The EC acknowledges the problem and places it high on its policy priorities. Consumer research is scattered across several disciplines in the social sciences with little communication occurring between research and practice. The CONsumer COmpetence Research Training (CONCORT) tackles these issues. We abandon the marketing perspective of the persuasive agent trying to affect consumer decisions, and aim to pioneer research from the consumer perspective. We study consumer competence, a broad set of abilities, intuitions, knowledge and skills consumers need in order to make decisions that help them navigate successfully in the economic environment. CONCORT will train 14 ESRs in this new perspective, in 8 high level partners: Three business schools, 2 broad universities, and 3 corporate partners, 2 of which are SMEs. The academic partners are top quality departments from 3 disciplines, namely consumer behaviour, behavioural economics, and health psychology. The corporate partners are innovators in advanced behavioural measurement tools. CONCORT adds an optimal blend between traditional training methods (frequent conventions, high quality in-house doctoral courses), innovative learning instruments (blended learning, skills portfolio), and thorough practice training through industrial secondments. We will train ESRs to see the link between their theoretical training and thematic areas of real life consumer interest (environment, overspending, food choice, etc.). Relying on a strong infrastructure (second life, behavioural labs), and guided by a flexible bu

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'HUMAN ADAPTATIONAL PATTERNS TO ARID ENVIRONMENTS IN NORTH AFRICA' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The relationship between climate and culture is one of the most important areas of debate in the case of the Late Pleistocene, c.60,000-10,000 BP (years ago), when profound and frequently abrupt climatic changes coincided with significant human migrations and shifts in behavioural complexity. A major weakness in past research is that models of climate:people interactions in the Late Pleistocene have been based on regional data sets of very variable quality, so it is impossible to move beyond broad generalisations about how humans did or did not respond to climatic change.  This is particularly the case in North Africa, the focus of the proposed project. There were certainly climate shifts, but they did not result in uniform environmental change: the peak of cold conditions c.18,000 BP was characterized by considerable aridity and steppe-like vegetation, but certain locations may have remained better-watered ‘rifugia’. Cultural shifts were also profound but not uniform: in the Maghreb, for example, ‘Iberomaurusian’ stone technologies continued to be used from c.24,000 BP right up to the end of the Pleistocene c.10,000 BP, whereas in Libya a distinctive Late Stone Age industry (‘Dabban’) was replaced by an ‘Oranian’ industry in some respects similar to the Maghreb Iberomaurusian c.15,000 BP.  The relationships between shifts in climate, environment, and human behaviour therefore remain obscure. The proposed project will examine the stone industries of two contrasting case study regions in Libya where the results can be compared with high quality palaeoenvironmental and palaeoeconomic data. It will apply innovative methodologies to determine the likely significance of technological change in terms of cultural (social networks) and behavioural (subsistence) shifts. Integrat

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Integration of renewable energies in the Southern Mediterranean region'.

assistant: **Objectives**

It is generally recognised that renewable energies have a wide potential for implementation in the Southern Mediterranean countries (SMC), which are endowed with large renewable energy resources and have growing energy needs. So far only small-scale demonstration projects have been implemented in these countries. An on-going R & D project, INTERSUDMED, supported by the EC- DG XII, aims at defining one large project per country. The IRESMED proposal focuses on the much larger context of national and regional programmes that call for large investments, require major policy decisions on the part of the host countries, make much larger demands on the European and SMC industries, and have major socio-economic and environmental effects. The objectives of IRESMED may be described as follows: a) to evaluate the experience with the integration of renewable energy options into the society of each of the participating SMCs as a preliminary to planning expanded programs, making use of previous research to the extent possible. b) to develop programmes for the use of renewable energies in the SMCs for rural electrification, and for grid-connected electricity generation and water supply built on a deeper understanding of local market forces, the associated externalities and socio-economic and administrative framework. The large amount of financing will require development of schemes for co-operation among governments, international funding agencies and particularly financing from the private sector. c) to build industrial co-operation schemes, both between the EU and the south and among the SMCs, in the development of local manufacturing of relevant systems, and to involve the European renewable energy systems manufacturers' associations in this process. d) to analyse the driving forc

user: Explain how 'RISE Social Media Analytics' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The purpose of RISE_SMA is to create an interdisciplinary, international network of excellent scholars and practitioners in the field of social media analytics (SMA). Given the ubiquity of social media, and the immense amount of new social media data continuously created, there is a growing need to derive meaningful insights from this “big” social data by combining different methods. Application areas range from crisis communication and political communication to marketing research and customer acquisition for businesses. The need for more interdisciplinary and international cooperation is especially evident in the two focus areas of RISE_SMA: crisis communication and the societal impact of social media. First, understanding the communication activities unfolding amongst ordinary citizens, and communicating crucial information to them in a timely and coordinated manner during a crisis is a prerequisite for the effective mitigation of its consequences. Practitioners in the field would benefit from more intensive collaboration with researchers, and researchers would benefit from better understanding the needs of decision-makers. At the same time, the wider impact of social media on society is still unclear. Recent advancements in technology have led to the emergence of new communication patterns; their impact and meaning have yet to be understood. On the one hand social media have been highlighted for enabling new forms of citizen engagement that strengthens civic participation at local and national levels, but on the other hand social media have been criticised for enabling the emergence of disconnected echo chambers in which political propaganda can circulate unchallenged. Hence, there is an urgent need for comprehensive concepts as well as methods which exist independe

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Artificial Cells for Enzyme Replacement Therapy for Phenylketonuria' (2007-2013), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most common genetic enzyme defect, with an overall incidence in Europe and the USA of 1:10,000-20,000 live births per year. Patients suffer from a genetic defect in the liver enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), which normally metabolizes the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe) into the amino acid tyrosine. This specific enzyme defect, which results in an increase in the level of systemic Phe in the first few years of life, can lead to severe mental retardation. Herein we propose a research project in which we will further develop the sub-compartmentalized assembly named capsosomes, which consist of polymer capsules assembled by the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique containing intact liposomes, as an oral-delivered artificial cell for enzyme replacement therapy with the aim to provide a solution for the most common inborn disease: phenylketonuria. In particular, I will (i) substantially improve the actual capsosome assembly by constructing the polymer shell in a single step using poly-dopamine (PDA), (ii) encapsulate the PAL enzyme into the liposomal sub-compartments and perform the conversion of Phe into trans-cinnamic acid, (iii) study the preservation of the PAL activity for oral administration by exposing the enzyme-loaded capsosomes to different environments which mimic the stomach and the intestine track, (iv) design of liposomes which are pH-sensitive in alkali media by two different strategies in order to obtain liposomes with enhanced permeability at intestine physiological conditions and, finally (v) synthesize thiol-modified PDA (PDASH) with the aim to obtain biodegradable capsosomes at intestine physiological concentrations of glutathione (GSH).

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Group for Urban Interchanges Development & Evaluation'.

assistant: **Innovation**

This project is concerned with the interface between existing and potential passengers and urban public transport systems. The accessibility of public transport and the quality of interchange (two distinct functions of the passenger interface) are crucial factors affecting the overall attractiveness of public transport. Increased public transport share of travel is essential to the long-term well-being of most urban areas, as is encouragement of more sustainable modes such as cycling and walking. Interest in the subject of passenger interface with public transport has grown over the last few years. GUIDE is an international group including a number of large public transport operators in capitals and major cities across Europe. It has been formed in order to:- identify and summarise European research carried out on passenger interface issues;- establish a framework for collaborative research amongst European urban public transport providers and planners on topics concerned with improving the passenger interface;- assess best practice in functional specification and design aspects of the passenger interface, by peer group review of selected case studies;- disseminate the outputs from these activities through publications, the preparation of an illustrated best practice guide, and a European seminar of interested parties.The principal benefits of the project will be increased awareness of the importance of interface issues, co-ordination of the research activities of many leading players and rapid implementation of best practice through the active involvement of many major public transport operators. %The sites for Case Studies include:Athens, Birmingham, London, Manchester, Paris and Cities in The Netherlands where organisations belonging to the Group are involved in the

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Regulation and function of the E3 ubiquitin ligases Muscle RING finger 1 and 3 in cardiac hypertrophy' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Heart failure caused by cardiac hypertrophy is a growing epidemic and remains the most frequent cause of hospitalization in elderly patients in the European Union. However, molecular mechanisms leading to cardiac hypertrophy and its transition into heart failure are poorly understood. Maintenance of cardiac structure and function requires a precise control of protein synthesis and degradation; abnormalities in these processes can give rise to myopathies. The protein degrading ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and its muscle specific key enzymes Muscle RING finger (MuRF) 1 and 3 are activated during cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. MuRF1 and 3 are essential for the degradation of structural proteins, such as myosin heavy chain (MHC), leading to a decrease in cardiac function and heart failure. MuRF inhibitors are therefore expected to prevent transition of cardiac hypertrophy into failure. This proposal aims to investigate the function and regulation of MuRF1 and 3 during cardiac hypertrophy. More specifically, the major hypothesis that the function of MuRF1 is mainly mediated through its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity will be investigated. First, the specific cysteine residue within the RING-finger of MuRF1 responsible for its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity will be identified. This residue will than be germ-line mutated and the hypertrophic response of mice lacking MuRF1s E3 ligase activity will be analyzed following aortic banding. Secondly, the domains within MuRF proteins mediating MuRF binding to their MHC target proteins will be investigated. Additionally, we aim to analyze if hypertrophic stimuli can regulate binding between MuRF1 and 3 and their target proteins. Finally, a cDNA expression screen will be employed to discover novel transcription factors and signa

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'FArming Tools for external nutrient Inputs and water MAnagement' (FATIMA) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

FATIMA addresses effective and efficient monitoring and management of agricultural resources to achieve optimum crop yield and quality in a sustainable environment. It covers both ends of the scale relevant for food production, viz., precision farming and the perspective of a sustainable agriculture in the context of integrated agri-environment management. It aims at developing innovative and new farm capacities that help the intensive farm sector optimize their external input (nutrients, water) management and use, with the vision of bridging sustainable crop production with fair economic competitiveness.Our comprehensive strategy covers five interconnected levels: a modular technology package (based on the integration of Earth observation and wireless sensor networks into a webGIS), a field work package (exploring options of improving soil and input management), a toolset for multi-actor participatory processes, an integrated multi-scale economic analysis framework, and an umbrella policy analysis set based on indicator-, accounting- and footprint approach.FATIMA addresses and works with user communities (farmers, managers, decision makers in the farm and agribusiness sector) at scales ranging from farm, over irrigation scheme or aquifer, to river-basins. It will provide them with maps of fertilizer and water requirements (to feed into precision farming machinery), crop water consumption and a range of further products for sustainable cropping management supported with innovative water-energy footprint frameworks. All information will be integrated in leading-edge participatory spatial online decision-support systems. The innovative FATIMA service concept considers the economic, environmental, technical, social, and political dimensions in an integrated way.FATIMA will
