user: Explain how 'Emission Control of Rare-Earth Nanoparticles' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Optical theranostic (diagnostic + therapy) techniques are low-cost, safe, and constitute a next big leap in the betterment of human healthcare. In that regard, luminescent nanoparticles (NPs) are poised to become the multifunctional instruments of personalized medicine. However, present-day theranostic NPs provide no control over their arsenal of capabilities – their competences are often entangled so that diagnostics cannot be done without therapy. In the same way that surgeons do not cut before ascertaining what and where to cut, so do light-responsive nanoparticles must have the flexibility to switch between their imaging/sensing and therapeutic modalities at-will. Rare-earth NPs (RENPs) are endowed with downshifting (Stokes) and upconversion (anti-Stokes) luminescence stimulated by near-infrared light; thus, RENPs are designed for non-invasive deep-tissue optical imaging (to diagnose) and in-situ mediation of photochemical processes (to treat). As such, RENPs are just the right candidates to decouple therapy from diagnostics, while preserving both in a single theranostic NP. With MONOCLE, I propose a tangible and timely development of RENPs with built-in control over their different emission modes. Capitalizing on the modular design of RENPs in unison with temporally modulated laser excitation, I intend to separate downshifting and upconversion processes creating truly-multifunctional theranostic RENPs (TMTs). In essence, TMTs are destined to apply “measure twice and cut once” philosophy – which constitutes benign examination and diagnosis of the target, with in-situ treatment available on-demand. Successful development of TMTs is projected to have far-reaching implications in safe and selective use of light-controlled nanomedicines. Furthermore, the multidisciplina

user: Explain how 'Impact of upstream anomalies in the Agulhas Current system on the inter-ocean exchange and primary production around Southern Africa' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The inter-ocean exchange of heat and salt around South Africa is recognised to be a key link in the maintenance of the global overturning circulation of the ocean and plays a major role in global climate. Most of the Indian Ocean leakage into the South Atl antic takes place by the shedding of Agulhas rings at the Agulhas Current Retroflection. The Agulhas system is known by its strong variability of both ecosystem and physical dynamics at different spatial and temporal scales. In this project we want to anal yse the dynamical behavior of the southwestern part of the subtropical gyre in the Indian Ocean, that directly feeds the inter-ocean exchange. Unique of the project is the focus on both physical dynamical aspects as well as on the distribution of chlorophy ll a. A connection has been found between upstream anomalies in the Agulhas Current, originating in the Mozambique Channel and from the East Madagascar Current, and the shedding of Agulhas rings. However, the role of the gyre is still unclear. Especially t he extremely strong recirculation gyre in the southwest corner of the gyre seems to have a large influence on the dynamics, both from a physical and from a biological point of view. Sometimes, early retroflection of the Agulhas Current hampers the shedding of Agulhas rings, and thus has serious consequences for the physical and biological characteristics of the waters in the South Atlantic and in the Agulhas Return Current. To investigate these phenomena physical and biological interactions will be studied from in situ measurements, multi-sensors data sets and modelling at European level. Prof. Dr. De Ruijter's research group is presently working on the connection between the large-scale variability in the Indian Ocean (Indian Ocean Dipole/El Nino Southern O sci

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Development of different production systems for the sustainable exploitation of the collared peccary (tayassu tajacu) in latin america' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The collared peccary (CP), Tayassu tajacu, is explicated in Latin. America to meet the national demand for wild meat and to supply the export of pelts to international markets. This production comes often from uncontrolled harvest, which can be detrimental to the viability of the enterprises and to the conservation of the CP. The project aims at improving the performances of CP production systems, which are currently unsatisfactory:(i) intensive small scale CP farming,(ii) extensive CP ranching in cattle and cocoa estates with remnant natural habitats. The project will provide the CP industry with the necessary biological data and appropriate management guidelines to overcome the limiting factors of the intensive CP breeding schemes. It will set up innovative CP ranching methods to increase CP production and to bring incentive for conserving natural habitats. A global analysis will determine the most productive, economically viable and ecologically sustainable system for each situation.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Chiral Active Granular Matter' (CHIAGRAM).

assistant: **Concept**

In this proposal, chiral active granular matter (CHIAGRAM) is designed and investigated through a combination of numerical, experimental, and theoretical studies. Granular particles are characterized by collisions that dissipate energy and have been recently “activated” by breaking the translational symmetry of their shapes or internal components. The novelty of this proposal lies in the introduction of chirality through the breaking of the rotational symmetry. The resulting CHIAGRAM will be characterized by a broad range of fascinating single-particle and collective phenomena, such as circular motion, clustering, hyperuniformity, and spatial velocity correlations, whose properties will be systematically investigated through experiments and theoretical models. The implementation of an airflow mechanism and the behaviour of CHIAGRAM under flow will represent an intriguing forward research step in the field of (active) granular systems and, more generally, active matter. Emergent properties, such as negative mobility, odd diffusivity, as well as long-range collective phenomena, are expected because of the interplay between airflow and chirality. The project will fundamentally benefit from the expertise of my supervisor, a world-leading and pioneering scientist in the field of (chiral) active matter, as well as from the experimental and theoretical support provided by the secondment host, a world-leading expert in (active) granular systems. CHIAGRAM will distinguish for originality, proposing a novel granular material with fascinating properties that will open a new research line of experimental and theoretical investigation bridging active chirality and granular matter.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'SKIN MICROBIAL DEVICES' (SKINDEV).

assistant: **Innovation**

The long-term vision and ambition of the SKINDEV consortium is to complement the human skin microbiome with Smart Skin Microbial Devices (SSMDs) in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients and other dermatological conditions as a new non-invasive system for future treatment and monitoring of disease gearing up towards preventive care. This idea and new technology are groundbreaking and radical.SKINDEV aims to make SSMDs generally applicable through innovative technologies like sensing applications in wearables and cameras providing at-home on-demand skin health information. SSMDs will be ideal for early detection and intervention of health hazards.In this Pathfinder project the focus is on interaction at three steppingstones (SS), towards a prototype SSMD with proof-of-concept for the coupling of sensing and actuation in Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) for AD-related inflammatory processes:SS1.Systems engineering to create a multi-scale computational model of AD pathophysiology;SS2.Genetic engineering to create sensing and actuation circuits in C. acnes;SS3.Tissue engineering to create a high throughput skin organoid platform for AD.A priority of SKINDEV is to translate technological innovations into proof-of-concept novel devices. SKINDEV is expected to invent such new technologies to i) genetically modify skin microbes, ii) create sensing modules and actuators, and iii) develop pre-clinical skin organoids and computational models for host-microbe interactions. The work plan implements an efficient ‘design, build, test and learn cycle’ to accelerate the achievement of sensing and actuating performance fulfilling relevant physiological roles.Successful achievement of these ambitious goals requires highly integrated interdisciplinary collaborations by scientists working at the for

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'New Generation of High Speed FIBRE SPINning machines'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Cogne Macchine Tessili (COGNETEX) and ELETTRONICA GF (EGF)'s FIBRESPIN, is a Phase 1 winning project from the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument. The project consists of the industrialisation and commercialisation of a new technology for textile spinning machine designed for producing spools of wool/cotton fibres. Based in Imola (Italy), COGNETEX have been manufacturing high quality textile machinery for over 60 years (€4.2million revenues, 30 workers). In order to execute all necessary technological developments, our trusted collaborator, ELETTRONICA GF, an Italian hardware and software manufacturer based in Faenza (€6.2million turnover, 43 employees) has joined us in this project as our partner to develop and exclusively supply the hardware-software embedded systems in FIBRESPIN. Key stakeholders, early adopters are also present, along with an identified list of 120+ clients worldwide from our 270+ customers' portfolio. Thanks to our innovative design including the use of high-tech materials (ceramic components), an innovative electromagnetic braking system and an advanced electronic control of the whole machine, FIBRESPIN will greatly reduce maintenance downtimes as well as strongly boost productivity, outperforming existing machines (+52% outputs, -57% footprint). An important objective of this project is also to reduce the investment costs (CAPEX) for our customers. FIBRESPIN will let our clients obtain with a 624-spindle machine the same productivity that a traditional 960-spindle one reaches, which translates into more than €35,000 savings/machine. Besides, less spindles means less energy consumption. As we will see in detail, COGNETEX expects to reach 46,400 spindles sold annually by 2023, representing €8.89million revenues.

user: Describe how 'A Diagonal Approach to CO2 Recycling to Fine Chemicals' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Because fossil resources are a limited feedstock and their use results in the accumulation of atmospheric CO2, the organic chemistry industry will face important challenges in the next decades to find alternative feedstocks. New methods for the recycling of CO2 are therefore needed, to use CO2 as a carbon source for the production of organic chemicals. Yet, CO2 is difficult to transform and only 3 chemical processes recycling CO2 have been industrialized to date. To tackle this problem, my idea is to design novel catalytic transformations where CO2 is reacted, in a single step, with a functionalizing reagent and a reductant that can be independently modified, to produce a large spectrum of molecules. The proof of concept for this new “diagonal approach” has been established in 2012, in my team, with a new reaction able to co-recycle CO2 and a chemical waste of the silicones industry (PMHS) to convert amines to formamides.  The goal of this proposal is to develop new diagonal reactions to enable the use of CO2 for the synthesis of amines, esters and amides, which are currently obtained from fossil materials. The novel catalytic reactions will be applied to the production of important molecules: methylamines, acrylamide and methyladipic acid. The methodology will rely on the development of molecular catalysts able to promote the reductive functionalization of CO2 in the presence of H2 or hydrosilanes. Rational design of efficient catalysts will be performed based on theoretical and experimental mechanistic investigations and utilized for the production of industrially important chemicals. Overall, this proposal will contribute to achieving sustainability in the chemical industry. The results will also increase our understanding of CO2 activation and provide invaluable ins

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Transforming Pruning for Smallholder Agriculture with Enhanced Productivity and Working Conditions Using AR and Robotics.'.

assistant: **Concept**

AgRimate focuses on transforming pruning tasks for small-scale farmers by using Augmented Reality (AR) and Robotics technologies, enriched with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Tackling the significant challenges and labour-intensive aspects of pruning in high-value crops like olive groves and vineyards, AgRimate introduces an innovative and scalable solution. This solution relies on an artificial intelligence module capable of learning from expert human knowledge to address tree pruning challenges. This module extends its functionality to the solution through various tools, from a learning tool that adapts to the user's knowledge to an Augmented Reality solution providing real-time guidance during the pruning process with the human at the centre. It seamlessly integrates with two different robotic solutions, either assisting the user with exoskeletons or autonomously performing tasks with a highly advanced robot. Additionally, AgRimate incorporates a comprehensive assessment tool designed to evaluate the solution's impact, not only on farmers but also on rural communities. This holistic approach aims not only to enhance productivity and resource efficiency but also to improve social inclusiveness and working conditions within the agricultural sector. By forging a consortium of leading research institutions, SMEs, and agricultural stakeholders from across Europe, AgRimate is at the forefront of cultivating sustainable, technologically advanced, and socially responsible farming practices. Ultimately, AgRimate stands as a beacon of innovation in agricultural technology, keenly aligned with the EU's broader goals of digital transformation, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic equity, showcasing a path forward for future farming that prioritizes both yield and comm

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Uranium-lead dating of phosphate minerals: Application to ancient basalts and anthropogenic reconstructions' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The major scientific objectives of the proposed project are (1) to develop a new technique based on the U-Pb decay system for dating of the phosphate mineral phase (apatite) which is present in almost all geological and biological materials, (2) to apply t his technique for dating basalts and studying the evolution of the Hawaiian volcanic system, (3) to apply the new technique for dating fossil hominid-remains by relative geochronology and (4) to test the validity of the new method for dating directly the f ossil biological materials. This project will bring together two scientific disciplines, geology and anthropology, by using the same geochronological tool. This proposal involves a method development procedure at the beginning of the working period. This w ill be followed by the analyses of (1) Loihi lavas and (2) HSDP samples, with the main objective of studying the temporal evolution of the Hawaiian mantle plume. Our new technique will allow high precision dating and thus will help to constrain the time sc ale of the Earth mantle processes. Dating of lava flows surrounding the layers with fossil hominid-remains will allow determination of the age of the first hominids. Thus we will be able to reconstitute the migration history of the hominid populations. The validity of the new method for dating directly a biological material would be a significant step forward for the anthropological research. Therefore we will test our method for dating fossil enamel and dentin. Finally, this project will provide a precise geochronological tool with multidisciplinary validity and will tie different domains of the science.
