user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Unemployment,skills and training policies - Great Britain and Spain in comparison' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Research objectives and content The object of this research is the analyse the determinants of the adoption of particular employment training policies during the 1980s and l990s and to evaluate the extent to which training policy outcomes have been mediated by the institutional contexts in which they have taken place. The research has a comparative character and the two selected cases are Great Britain and Spain. The research is thus concerned with the causes of divergence or convergence. The main objectives of the research are: -to give an account of the different training policies that have been implemented by governments in both countries relating this issue with unemployment situations. -to analyse the profile of training provision in the two countries from a comparative perspective. Special attention is paid to target groups of policies and access conditions to programmes. -to analyse the extent to which the provision of skills has been linked to other forms of welfare provision (such as employment benefits) in the two cases. -to explain how labour market and welfare institutional arrangements, as well as supranational policies (i.e. European Community initiatives) influence the outcomes of training policies. The British and the Spanish cases have not been studied comparatively so far, and one of the innovative aspects of the approach will be the simultaneous use of institutional and economic variables intervening in the processes of unemployment and training. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) The acquisition of deep knowledge about the functioning of British labour markets and the links between unemployment, the profile of training provision and the evolution of skills in that country is essential for the comparison I want to make between t

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Best practice mechanisms for co-operation between universities, research bodies and industry' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The BESTCOIN project aims to create a dialogue between a network of organisations, who are active in liaison between universities, research bodies and industry, to enable definition of best practice.The network will consider various aspects of University - Industry Liaison (UIL):- What activities are involved in UIL?- Can activities be quantified and represented graphically?- What skills are required for successful UIL?This process will test the use of a novel form of representation of relationships (the function graph). The function graph will be used to demonstrate the contribution of different activities - quantified in terms of time / financial resources - to successful UIL. It is hoped that this will allow identification of the critical activities in successful UIL, and will give organisations a basic tool for assessing use of resources against best practice.This activity will be accompanied by a qualitative examination of UIL.Specific results expected at the end of the project lifetime:- BESTCOIN website;- Validation of the function graph tool;- Best practice guides - adapted to the local situation in each of the partner countries/regions.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Precarious employment in europe: a comparative study of labour market related risks in flexible economies' (ESOPE).

assistant: **Concept**

ESOPE focuses on precarious employment, currently a major facet of social risk and insecurity. The problem addressed is both scientific and policy-related: gaining understanding and knowledge and improving social risk management. The aim is to provide a comparative framework of understanding, new empirical evidence in five sectors across five European countries, and to evaluate local good practice for the improvement of employment quality. Research results are to be widely disseminated and will inform policy for the improved management of labour market related risks in Europe. These objectives are achieved through comparative policy analysis, survey reviews, a strong case study strand, a scientific seminar and a publication on the issue of risk, and a policy report. The consortium gathers prominent institutions and social scientists in the field of labour market studies, very experienced in comparative research and European programmes.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Repair Spinal Cord Injury by Controlling Migration of Neural Stem Cells - multidiciplinary approaches of electric stimulation and nanotechnology' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Millions of people worldwide suffer from spinal cord injury (SCI), with devastating consequences and costs. Various clinical approaches have been attempted to treat SCI with little satisfaction due to the limitation of self-regeneration of axons. Neural stem cell transplantation is an alternative approach with great potential to treat SCI, but the mechanisms controlling migration of implanted stem cells are unclear. A recent SCI clinical trial using implanted electric stimulators to promote axon regeneration showed promising results. However, the mechanism underpinning this technique also remains elusive. We shall investigate genes and molecules regulating the electric fields controlled neural stem cells migration. We have shown before that electric signals play essential roles in directing cell migration during wound healing, and that PI3K and PTEN are critical in the regulation of this event (Zhao, Song et al. Nature 2006). Pax6 and ephrin are also proved to be important in guiding cell migration, however the interactions between PI3K, PTEN and Pax6, Eph-ephrin pathways are unknown. We shall further investigate their potential interactions in this project.. Apart from electric signals, neural stem cell migration can be also regulated by chemical, physical, and haptotactic guidance cues. This project shall use multidisciplinary approaches to combine neural stem cells transplantation with electric stimulation and nanotechnology, to optimize a novel stem cell replacement therapy. We shall use multiple peptide structures to engineer diverse adhesion peptide motifs on the nanofibers, and embed EGF/bFGF into 3D nanofibers scaffold to encapsulate neural stem cells for the transplantation study. These shall be tested in both 2D / 3D in vitro and in SCI animal models in vivo.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Transfer and fate of harmful algal bloom (hab) toxins in european marine waters'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The project focuses on the fate of algal toxins from cyanobacteria (nodularin), haptophytes (ichthyotoxins), dinoflagellates (ichthyotoxins, paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP)), Diarrhoeic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP) and diatoms (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP)) at different tropic levels in the water column and at the water-sediment interface, and how the increase of Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) toxin content in connection to eutrophication and unbalanced N: P ratios has affected the marine ecosystems. FATE will investigate different pathways of toxin transport i.e. if the algal cells are; a) degraded in the water column by bacteria, b) grazed by zooplankton and cultured shellfish in the water column orc) sink to the bottom and accumulate in benthic organisms e. g. shellfish. Spraying clay and introducing mussel curtains in the water column will test small-scaled mitigation of HAB toxin transfer to aquaculture.

user: Explain how 'Global status, trends, drivers and impacts of non-native plant species in mountain ecosystems' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The current biodiversity crisis is characterized by unprecedented rates of species extinctions, and invasive species are one of the most important drivers of this loss. Yet, many invasive species were only recognized as such when already widely naturalized in a region. A major challenge is thus to identify which non-native species have the potential to spread into natural ecosystems and become invasive before their eradication becomes unfeasible. Mountain ecosystems remained comparatively natural and harbour high levels of unique biodiversity but are disproportionately affected by climate change. So far, they are considered to be only minimally affected by non-native species and are thus the frontiers of their distributions. Yet, many non-native plant species spread upslope along roads, from where they might continue to spread into the surrounding undisturbed habitats. Indeed, non-native plant species have been recorded in mountains on all populated continents, and might hence be substantially more widespread than assumed. However, due to data deficiency, it remains unknown whether non-native plant species already occur in undisturbed habitats, which species have the potential to spread and which drivers besides roads are decisive. Even less is known about their impacts in mountains and thus which species should be classified as invasive, as impacts are least investigated in mountains of all terrestrial habitats. This project will fill these knowledge gaps by integrating field observations, experiments and macroecological analyses based on so far untapped global monitoring data from all populated continents, ranging from valleys to the upper limits of plant life in disturbed to undisturbed habitats. It will conduct the first global quantification of the status, trends,

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Nano-structured High-efficiency Thermo-Electric Converters'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The NanoHiTEC project is focused on planar thermo-electric converters based on super-lattice quantum wells, which have shown on laboratory scale already a figure of merit ZT > 4 for a wide temperature range. The optimization of BiTe based layer systems as well as Si/SiGe and B4C/B9C lattices will be combined with the development of low cost/high throughput industrial deposition processes for multilayers. Direct p-n-junctions at the hot side of the converter promise further increase in performance and long term stability of the devices, but also simplified fabrication. As technologies for improved material performance multilayered nanowires and sintered nanopowders will be investigated.A central point of NanoHiTEC is the optimization of the passive components (thermal and electrical contacts, substrates) and of new geometries for the layout of planar converters to maximize the system efficiency. In this field particular emphasis is given to the heat flow into the hot and out of the cold side of the active elements where actual devices show the most efficiency loss.The developments in the project are backed by partners experienced in the qualification of thermo-electric materials and devices. Besides the parameters defining the thermoelectric performance - measured in a wide range of temperatures, pressures and magnetic fields - the microstructure, dopant distribution and the inner potentials will be investigated by scanning microscopy and TEM (holography).A major part of the project is the simulation of electronic and phononic properties based on the material microstructure. Intense interaction of theoretical work and characterization results of fabricated systems will pave the way for further enhanced material efficiency and better producibility. A main target is the in

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Testing the Dark Energy Paradigm and Measuring Neutrino Mass with the Dark Energy Survey'.

assistant: **Innovation**

One of the greatest mysteries in the whole of science is that 75% of the Universe appears to be made of an enigmatic ‘Dark Energy’. A further 21% of the Universe is made from invisible ‘Cold Dark Matter’ that can only be detected through its gravitational effects, with the ordinary atomic matter making up only 4% of the total cosmic budget. These discoveries require a shift in our perception. I play leadership roles in several large surveys, in particular the $40M international Dark Energy Survey (DES), where I coordinate the entire science programme, with 200 scientists from 5 countries. DES will have its first light in October 2011, with observing from 2012 to 2017. I propose three Themes, which are interlinked: (1) Modelling the cross-talk of DES probes and a feasibility study for a spectroscopic follow-up (DESpec) which will allow testing modified General Relativity models as alternatives to Dark Energy; (2) Attempting for the first time to measure the as yet unknown neutrino mass from DES, including novel modelling of the non-linear power spectrum; and (3) Follow up of an intriguing excess in galaxy clustering on large scales we recently detected in our home-grown MegaZ-LRG sample, and developing new approaches to photometric redshifts. The research is interdisciplinary since it is connected to statistical methods as well as to High Energy Physics. The techniques developed will also be used for many other projects, including the ongoing Hubble Space Telescope CLASH survey of clusters and the planned ESA Euclid space mission. At this stage of my career, after founding the Cosmology area at University College London and playing a key role in setting up DES, I wish to focus on creative research to exploit DES with the help of four Post-docs. I believe this work will s

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Implementation of Membrane Technology to Industry' (IMETI) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The IMeTI proposal aims to create a programme of applied research for implementation of membrane technology into industry based on experience and knowledge transfer between Academia and Industry. New membranes with improved chemical stability in a wide range of solvents, and better controlled cutoff properties and commercially viable membranes with high selectivity and flux for gas separations will be developed. The overall scientific and technical aim of the IMeTI project is to make important paradigm shifts in organic solvent nanofiltration and high temperature gas separation/purification, using cutting edge technologies based on membranes. The project involves the integration of the invention of new membranes and applications in the University/ Research Institute Partners with the subsequent development of the necessary membrane technology up to processing scale by the SMEs. A key feature of this project will be the interdisciplinary nature of the Partners, and the fact that they bring inter-sectorial competence to the network. We aim to create widely applicable, scalable, high performance process techniques and technologies.  The knowledge transfer and training programme involves Early Stage Researchers (ESR), at both university and industrial partners, each of whom gain high quality experience through combination of local and network wide research experience. Experienced Researchers (ER) will provide in depth knowledge, and will assist in mentoring the ESR. Visiting scientists will provide expertise from outside the network. In addition to their individual research, ESR and ER will increase their research capacity and knowledge through attendance of high level research conferences and workshops. IMeTI seeks to contribute to improving the European knowledge supply c

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Linking Organisations Through a Secure Environment for Distributed Drug Discovery' (LINK3D) under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Molecular Discovery (MD), which relies to a great extent on the visualisation and modification of vector 3D objects, is at the leading edge of the innovation process in economically and socially key industrial sectors (pharmaceutical, agrochemical, new materials, etc). The development of a new drug requires an average of 12 years and 250 MEuros, heavily depending on research work involving several organisations, being confidentiality a must. LINK3D aims at the creation of a secure Internet-based environment for real-time interactive performance of collaborative MD work between distant sites. LINK3D will allow affordable and flexible collaboration within and between organisations as a way to optimise this costly process and improve SMEs' competitiveness, enhancing the academia-industry links and knowledge transfer. LINK3D results will be exploitable in other sectors using vector 3D objects like architecture and industrial design.Objectives:LINK3D aims to develop, test and prepare the commercial exploitation of a real-time, interactive distant collaboration environment for professionals working in an strategically crucial field: Molecular Discovery (MD).The specific objectives of the project are:1) To gather detailed requirements of MD professionals in terms of tele-collaboration.2) To develop a set of software applications, configuring a real-time tele-collaboration environment for Drug Discovery professionals.3) To test the system in real-life environments, both for inter-organisational and intra-organisational collaborative settings and considering the different types of actors involved (industry, academia).4) To analyse the potential market, the business possibilities of the LINK3D system, and prepare its commercial exploitation, considering extension to other sectors
