user: Draft an impact statement for 'Water use efficiency as a means of up scaling carbon fluxes from leaf to stand', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The Kyoto protocol allows separate countries to include carbon uptake from natural sinks as a way to decrease the net emissions of carbon dioxide. More specific, the term sinks concerns Article 3.3 and 3.4 in the protocol, giving the possibility to include carbon uptake by soil and vegetation in forests and by changes in land-use in agricultural areas. By the international agreements reached in Bonn, 2001, the signatory states also must account for the effect of management on the carbon balance of their forests. Such effects could be addressed from already running forestry management field trials. Nevertheless, this requires a new methodology for assessing the carbon fluxes. In this project, a novel approach to assess net stand carbon uptake will be used.The approach has an interdisciplinary character as it introduces the concept of water use efficiency (WUE) traditionally used for agricultural yield estimations and drought tolerance of plants, in the field of biosphere carbon cycling and greenhouse gas mitigation. The suitability for using the concept of WUE as a means of up-scaling carbon fluxes for deciduous forests will be evaluated. This will be achieved through estimations of transpiration and carbon flux relations at leaf level, including both analysis of earlier measurements on a large number of leaves and new measurements of leaf carbon and water exchange as well as branch sap-flow. The results will be validated against net ecosystem fluxes measured by eddy covariance techniques.The study will be carried out at Riso National Laboratory, Roskilde, Denmark. If stand carbon allocation and sequestration can be assessed using the WUE concept, the possibilities to assess the stand carbon cycle are increased significantly.

user: Explain how 'Protein Capsules' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

In the ProtCap project, we will translate basic technology, developed in the context of the ERC project PhysProt, towardscommercial applications. The technological focus will be on microscapsules assembled through microfluidic techniquesfrom natural proteins. Encapsulation increasingly underlies the storage and formulation of active components and is agrowing market which impacts areas from cosmetics to personal health-care. In this context, synthetic polymers are thestandard material for forming the shells of microcapsules and other encapsulation platforms. We propose an orthogonalapproach through the use of fully natural building blocks, proteins. Proteins are the fundamental building blocks of life,underpinning the formation of sophisticated materials and structures in nature through self-assembly. We have been able todemonstrate the ability to form robust capsules from a range of proteins of both plant and animal origin. This techniqueallows for improvements over existing commercially available approaches in terms of biocompatible and biodegradableproducts, and ability to undertake all processing steps under mild conditions in aqueous solution for processing sensitivecargo species. In the present project, we will establish the viability of the protein capsule technology in particular sectorsand generate connections with key industrial players based on initial contacts established so far. A key component of thisapproach is the proposed work to demonstrate the encapsulation of technologically important high value cargo materials, atranslational step which will allow us to move towards forging partnerships, and explore licensing of IP to existing industrialpartners in the context of this project, or through providing the basis for setting up a dedicated entity to take

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Sexual Minorities and Inequality of Opportunity'.

assistant: **Objectives**

A voluminous body of research has documented how sexual minorities experience discrimination and stigma in society. At the same time, we know surprisingly little about the extent to which these processes lead to different socioeconomic and family outcomes for sexual minorities. This project will be the first to systematically document cross-national and cross-temporal differences in the socioeconomic and family outcomes of sexual minorities and investigate the conditions under which opportunities vary. To achieve this goal, the project will innovate by exploiting information on sexual orientation that has recently been incorporated in several large-scale representative surveys. This breakthrough allows the project to answer foundational questions regarding inequality of opportunity experienced by sexual minorities, on many occasions for the first time. For instance, the project will document social mobility patterns and the partnering dynamics of sexual minority individuals. The project will also study the outcomes of minority groups that have often been overlooked, such as bisexual individuals and individuals identifying as sexual minorities from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The second part of the project consists of studying the mechanisms that pose obstacles for sexual minorities to attain outcomes in life. Can gender egalitarianism reduce inequality of opportunity experienced by sexual minorities? How large is the impact of hate crimes and legislation on the family life of sexual minorities? Contextual information on regional differences in attitudes, hate crimes and laws will be compiled and connected to surveys to document their relationship to socioeconomic achievements and the family life of sexual minorities. The principal investigator will form a multi-dis

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Innovative simulation tool for bone and bone biomaterials, based on enhanced CT-data exploitation' (BIO-CT-EXPLOIT) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The use of computer tomography (CT) imaging is steadily increasing in the ever growing bone implant/surgery and tissue engineering market, although commercial exploitation of CT data for structural design purposes is still based on trial-and-error approaches. This is because X-ray attenuation information is reduced to geometric grey level evaluation. However, on the academic stage, a transnational team of highly esteemed applied physicists, material scientists, engineering mechanicians, and mathematicians has recently pioneered concepts for extraction of chemical information from CT, and of its conversion, via micromechanics laws, into object –specific, inhomogeneous and anisotropic material properties. We here propose R+D activities to substantiate this cutting-edge knowledge into unparalleled, highly reliable simulation tools for structural design purposes. Most of the work load related to these R+D activities will be carried by the RTD partners, which will (upon reimbursement) transfer the simulation tools to four highly innovative SME partners covering all aspects of the bone biomaterial/surgery preplanning market, being leaders in the fields of biomaterial production, of micro and nano-CT scanner development, of image-to-geometry/mesh conversion, and of Finite Element simulation technologies. As a result of the R+D activities being carried out in close cooperation with SMEs, the latter will be, upon completion of the project,  the owners of  ready-to-use software packages tailored to SME-specific needs, with rapid time-to-market characteristics. The uniqueness of these products will tremendously improve the strategic market positions of the SMEs, which are expected to generate annual revenues being already multiples of the singular EC contribution – when just consi

user: Describe how 'SEals And FIsheries Coexisting Sustainably' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Interactions between seals and the fishing industry occur globally, with depredation – the full or part removal of fish from nets by seals, leading to significant conflict. Fishers suffer economic losses due to loss of catch, gear damage and time spent disentangling damaged fish/by-caught seals, while ecological impacts can include seal mortality (by-catch and/or authorised/illegal killing), alongside changes in animal behaviour (e.g. seals may become reliant on artificial food sources). In recent years, conflicts have escalated substantially, and an effective and pragmatic solution to the issue is urgently required.  Using an area of high seal-fishery conflict across south-west Ireland as a case study, SEAFICS combines stakeholder engagement, method development, the application of emerging technologies, and advanced statistical analyses, to assess interactions between seals and fisheries, and minimise conflicts through the development of effective mitigation. This will be achieved by addressing 4 research objectives: (1) the assessment of the perceived extent and impact of seal depredation via interviews and survey questionnaires with fishers, (2) the quantification of depredation at fishing nets through the development and application of a novel method that uses accelerometers to detect sub-surface hidden depredation events (which in past assessments have been unaccounted for), (3) the mitigation of seal depredation by applying newly developed targeted acoustic deterrent technology and assessing its effectiveness, and (4) the assessment of fisher views on the mitigation system and its practical use. During the implementation of SEAFICS, a tailored training program will develop & strengthen the applying researcher’s expertise & skills, such that future independence and

assistant: **Concept**

In the Covenant of Mayors signatories commit to a Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan. However, often municipalities lack capacity to turn their plans into actions; and the residential sector is often left behind and deep renovations not implemented. Realizing this potential requires designing, financing and implementing complex energy efficiency investments. Practice shows that small and medium municipalities are inadequately organized to manage and finance this process. At the same time individual owners in the residential sector are inadequately organized to manage their collective property.Accelerate SUNShINE supports Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), with a pipeline of projects worth €27m and guaranteed savings over 27GWh/year. A major objective is to demonstrate the financial viability of deep renovation via suitable project bundling, municipal partnerships and financial engineering.In the proposed approach four municipalities works together in a shared project management unit, composed by experts covering technical, socio-economic, legal and financial advisory. This unit deals with project development and process standardization. In each municipality public buildings are bundled for Energy Performance contracting based procurement. At the same time each municipality establish a support scheme for the deep renovation of multifamily residential buildings always based on Energy Performance contracting and continuing the effort made by SUNShINE.As most ESCOs have limited balance sheet capacity, re-financing is usually achieved by selling future receivables by a forfaiting transaction. Accelerate SUNShINE supports this solution, further rolling out the Latvian Baltic Energy Efficiency Facility, which is an investment fund with a single purpose: forfaiting r

assistant: **Innovation**

The present project aims at developing comprehensive design guidance on all aspects of solar and atmospheric components of urban layout in order firstly to ensure good access to a better microclimate and to vital renewable energy sources and secondly to minimise the air pollution levels. In order to meet these objectives the project contains the following tasks: 1. A comprehensive, integrated analysis of all solar and microclimatic aspects of urban layout for both cool and warm climatic conditions of southern Europe. The atmospheric pollution in the urban environment is one of the most important factors taken into consideration and the project will provide guidance for integrated urban planning which minimises the local pollution problems. 2. The development of a major computer based design tool to evaluate solar access and wind patterns within urban configurations in Europe. 3. Selected case studies, including two major case studies of southern European sites, to test and refine the guidance. 4. The production of an illustrated design guide, papers and

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Regulation of gene expression by transcriptional coactivators' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

How a cell responds to developmental or environmental changes by altering gene expression is a fundamental question in biology. Onecritical level of regulation is transcription initiation, which is controlled by large multiprotein complexes, including coactivators. Many studieshave shown that coactivators have distinct activities that play crucial roles in transcription, and their perturbation can cause cancer orneurodegeneration. Little is known, however, about how these activities integrate external signals to control transcription. I haveestablished one such coactivator, the highly conserved SAGA complex, as an excellent model to address this question. First, I discoveredthat, in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, SAGA regulates the switch from proliferation to differentiation. SAGA uses distinctactivities to function either as a repressor or as an activator of differentiation genes, depending on the levels of extracellular nutrients.Second, I discovered that S. pombe provides a unique opportunity to study the function of the largest SAGA subunit, Tra1. Its mammalianhomolog, TRRAP, is a key regulator of early embryogenesis and oncogenesis. My overall objective is to address key issues in theregulation of gene expression by focusing on SAGA, using a combination of genetic, genomic, biochemical, and proteomic approaches.One goal of this proposal is to identify which nutrient-sensing signaling pathway causes SAGA to switch from a repressor to an activator atthe promoters of differentiation genes. A second objective is to address the role of Tra1 in coordinating the activity of kinases sensingvarious cellular stresses and the regulatory roles of transcriptional coactivators. Overall, these studies will illuminate previously unknownmechanisms for the control of

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'MULTILINGUAL PRODUCTION OF WEATHER FORECASTS' (MULTIMETEO) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

MULTIMETEO is developing a system for automatically generating weather forecast information in several EU languages, drawing on basic data from the meteorological institutions involved in the project. Besides facilitating convenient rapid access to weather information services via phone, fax and electronic networks, the system will provide information in the preferred language, geared to the specific needs of groups such as transport services or sports organizers. From a semantic meteorological model, a text in the desired language will be tailored to the style and detail required by the group concerned.Progress During the first year MultiMeteo has carried out a market and cost benefit analysis, leading to selection of priority installation sites and weather forecast styles for generation. Styles for forecasts have also been formalised after study of 17 corpora and forecasting guidelines from a range of partner sites. Analysis and specification of user requirements has defined the organisational and technical environments and the quality criteria to be applied. As an aid in these areas an early weather forecast generating prototype has been installed and tested at a user site. This experience was invaluable in focusing the users on their real requirements in terms of characteristics of the texts to be generated and the desired user interface. The project has refined the overall quality plan with a specification of quality criteria and priorities, a quality process and quality. A fresh prototype interface showing the functionality of an improved demonstrator with multi-lingual interactive generation and administration has been developed to further refine user requirements. An extensive validation test plan for the final demonstrator has been agreed with users. The Market
