user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Automated retinal scans for early detection of diabetic eye diseases through use of artificial intelligence' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Oivi provides affordable eye care for all and prevent unnecessary blindness by providing a low-cost camera for retinal (fundus) photography, with fully automated image capture and diagnostics. Oivi is a point-of-care device for eye screening of diabetic retinopathy (DR). DR affects >160 M people worldwide and is the most common cause of blindness among working-age adults. Yet, early detection can successfully prevent vision-loss in 95% of the cases. Current solutions for DR screening are expensive and require extensive training that limits accessibility to patients, especially in developing countries. Oivi is a unique combination of automated, easy-to-use, low-cost and integrated Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence solutions (for image capturing and DR diagnostic) in a highly portable design. Within the iScan project, we want to mature the device and its diagnostic functionalities, to clinically validate our solution and to assure regulatory approvals.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Changing Families: Causes, Consequences and Challenges for Public Policy' (2007-2013) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The household and family structure in every major industrialized country changed in a fundamental way during the last couple of decades. First, marriage is less important today, as divorce, cohabitation, and single-motherhood are much more common. Second, female labor force participation has increased dramatically. As a result of these changes, today s households are very far from traditional breadwinner husband and housekeeper wife paradigm. These dramatic changes generated significant public interest and a large body of literature that tries to understand causes and consequences of these changes.This project has two main goals. First, it studies changes in household and family structure. The particular questions that it tries to answer are: 1) What are economic factors behind the rise in premarital sex and its destigmatization? What determines parents  incentives to socialize their children and affect their attitudes? 2) What are the causes and consequences of the recent rise in assortative mating and diverging marriage patterns by different educational groups? 3) Why are marriage patterns among blacks so different than whites in the U.S.?The second aim of this project is to improve our understanding of income risk, the role of social insurance policies and labor market dynamics by building models that explicitly considers two-earner households. In particular, we ask the following set of questions: 1) What is the role of social insurance policies (income maintenance programs or progressive taxation) in an economy populated by two-earner households facing uninsurable idiosyncratic risk? 2) How does marriage and labor market dynamics interact and how important this interaction for our understanding of labor supply and marriage decisions?

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Ukraine towards Carbon Neutrality' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

U_CAN facilitates a practical bottom-up approach with Ukrainian cities towards climate neutrality. Following the European standards and the European Green Deal (EGD), the project starts with a core group of 8 Ukrainian cities, Dresden as a Mission City, NGOs and research institutions. This networking and co-creation process addresses the current challenges of the Ukrainian cities and their key sectors. Within 48 months, the CNSC-UA twinning partners exchange experiences with further network municipalities throughout the country, adapting to European climate standards with experts like DIN and transitioning together. The core stakeholders work closely with their city administration in building capacities in the key sectors identified. In light of the war, co-creation and Citizen Science augmented training activities ensure an effective, value-based and needs-oriented approach. Communication and dissemination by EU partners near the UA borders enable – besides an online platform – the personal exchange of experiences with the CNSC twin cities. This step-by-step synergy building and facilitation includes vision workshops, road mapping and stakeholder co-creation to twin European and Ukrainian cities. This leads to use case development in each pilot city supporting pilot implementation of measures for climate mitigation and adaptation. This is combined with an extensive plan for dissemination, exploitation and communication led by European and Ukrainian umbrella organisations, standardisation initiatives, and local and national representatives. These efforts are assisted through functioning and already working city partnerships, seamlessly integrating the Ukrainian Cities into the vision of the EGD. The given diversity in geopolitical characteristics ensures the involvement

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'An intelligent agent for general-purpose protein engineering' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Proteins offer an exciting path to address a multitude of biotechnological challenges. Capable of working under non-toxic, mild conditions and performing a myriad of functions, their controllable design has been sought-after for decades. However, to gain a technological advantage in a world with pressing demands in sustainability and healthcare, we must accelerate the development of custom-tailored, proficient proteins. In this proposal, we will develop an intelligent system capable of efficiently engineering functional proteins tailored to user-defined specifications.Artificial Intelligence (AI) advancements are promoting a fresh wave of enthusiasm across many fields, providing solutions to problems that escape human intuition. Recently, protein language models (pLMs) are showing unprecedented performance in generating novel, efficient proteins. We have trained three advanced pLMs, demonstrating promising preliminary results in experimental settings. In this proposal, we will train an agent that will learn from combined sequence, structural, functional, and dynamic data to perform multiple protein engineering tasks. The agent will iteratively improve from experimental feedback using Reinforcement Learning, and explainable AI will allow us to ‘open the black box’ and understand its decision process. A vital component of this work will be its rigorous experimental validation, progressing through increasingly challenging tasks with biotechnological applications. This project will deliver an intelligent agent with continuous learning capabilities, accessible through user-friendly interfaces, empowering researchers worldwide with an easy-to-use tool to design custom-tailored proteins. In addition, by incorporating explainability, it will offer a novel angle to understanding

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'The development of a process integrated tunnel finisher for highly efficient quality finishing of industrial textiles' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

The laundry industry faces rising energy costs and an increasing demand for a higher quality finishing of garments worldwide. The laundries are under pressure of the governments to reduce their consumption of water, energy and cleaning agents by 20%. The washing at lower water loadings, lower temperatures and shorter processing times will inevitably result in a higher degree of creases. The present generation of tunnel finishers (in which the decreasing and drying of garments takes place) is not capable in removing these creases. Therefore, there is a need for a new type of tunnel finisher having excellent crease removal capacity at reduced (energy) costs. The objectives are l) to develop a new process integrated tunnel finisher system which combines maximum (flexible) productivity (400 - 2000 items/hour), with minimum floor space (8 - 16 m2) and a low energy and water consumption (-20% compared to present systems) and 2) to develop a fully integrated, operator friendly and reliable self-controllable prototype process control system (for tunnel finishers). This is needed to achieve a 20 % reduction of the water, energy and cleaning agents consumption in the overall laundry process (washing and finishing), which represents a total savings of about 36,S MECU for Europe. The consortium consists of 3 developer partners (1: washing machines, 2: tunnelfinishers and 3: proces control systems) and 3 end-users (industrial laundries). The RTD-performers are all well-known (textile) research organizations. The ultimate aim is to introduce the new tunnel finisher system in the market within l - 2 years after the project.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'BASAJAUN - Building A SustainAble Joint between rurAl and UrbaN Areas Through Circular And Innovative Wood Construction Value Chains' (BASAJAUN).

assistant: **Innovation**

European rural areas will boost when their natural resources constitute the basis of innovative and sustainable value chains with a high positive economic impact. In this sense, forests constitute an asset that provide not only ecosystems and biodiversity, but also a valuable and sustainable raw material, “wood”. Wood is consumed by various sectors, including one of the most “raw materials” demanding sector, the construction. The BASAJAUN project is a puzzle composed of 1st and 2nd transformation companies, research organizations, associations and public bodies that are focused on maximizing the forest value through its use in wood construction. Its main goal is to optimize the wood forest resources to enable the construction of a medium sized building (16 dwellings with 4 floors) with the lowest possible forest hectares – that will depend on the tree species and the forest local peculiarities (climate, surface, ...). The whole process will be optimised to maximize the consumption of wood products from the forest (solid wood, fibers, veneers, bark, sawdust, etc.).For this purpose, a) innovative wood-based construction materials (thermal insulation, composites, varnishes, SIPs) and systems (structure, facades, floors, walls, roof and fixings) will be developed and upscaled, b) one full-scale demo building (France) will be constructed and one experimental building (Spain) that use all developed products, c) digitalization of the whole construction value chain (from forest to building) will be done and d) the rural development impact will be studied at regional level. The environmental impact of the products of these value chains will be assessed as well. Besides, to assure a sustainable impact of the project a novel thematic platform to integrate the stakeholders of the w

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Understanding cell-nanoparticle interactions through mechanobiology'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The clinical translation of nanoparticle-based therapies over the last decade has been hampered by issues such asinefficient targeting and limited therapeutic effect. This poor translational outcome calls for deeper understanding of thebiomechanics of cell-nanoparticle (cell-NP) interactions. Indeed, targeting mechanosensing-activated cell pathways issuitable for tuning cell fate and readdressing its functions, as mechanosensing components control the expression of genesinvolved in the cell’s migration, survival and resistance to drugs. Hippo pathway appears to be one of the most promisingmechanobiology pathway, as it is involved in pathological diseases and tissue regeneration. This project aims to address theresponse of this pathway on cells upon interaction with nanoparticles. Indeed, tuning cell mechanosensing withnanoparticles is likely to hold great potentiality to control cell functionalities. The first objective will be the synthesis ofnanoparticles of different size, shape and stiffness, using a silica scaffold coated with hyaluronic acid via metal-phenolicnetwork assembly with exceptional physicochemical properties. The second objective consists in the application of Superresolutionmicroscopy for studying cell-NP interactions with unprecedented detail and unveil the interaction/structure/spatiotemporal localization of mechanosensing components related to the Hippo pathway (i.e. YAP, actin and focaladhesions) at molecular level. The third objective will be the deep analysis of the molecular biology and biochemistry ofmechanosensing proteins (i.e. YAP, TAZ, RhoA and Rock), and their downstream effectors (i.e. TEAD and transcriptionalfactors) involved in the response to cell-NP interaction. The forth objective will pursue the analysis of these interactions usingN

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Advanced Network Connectivity using Harmonious Optical and Radio Technologies' (ANCHOR).

assistant: **Innovation**

The ANCHOR project brings together leading academic, industry stakeholders, and SMEs to establish a structured doctoral training program addressing critical technical challenges and skill shortages for next-generation of communication networks. Traditional wireless networks, often reliant on single radio communication and inflexible architectures, will not be able to meet growing demands on bandwidth, reliability, energy efficiency, and sustainability, as well as extended coverage from underwater, terrestrial, and aerial network components. To overcome these limitations, ANCHOR leverages innovations in the untapped potential of THz and optical wavelengths alongside existing radio technologies. ANCHOR has meticulously designed fifteen doctoral projects that focus on cutting-edge innovations in optical, radio, and THz wireless communications and the harmonization of coexisting spectrums and networks. Through these efforts, ANCHOR will not only deepen fundamental theories but also provide practical, scalable solutions to improve 3D coverage, mobility, latency, network capacity, energy efficiency, and suitability for the future telecommunications infrastructure.By fostering cross-sector/cross-border collaboration in next-generation communication systems and digital infrastructure, ANCHOR will contribute significantly to the HE priorities under the Digital, Industry, and Space Cluster. The project also directly supports the EU’s Digital Decade goals by driving the development of sustainable, high-capacity communication networks, contributing to Europe’s leadership in the digital economy. ANCHOR’s doctoral candidates will be guided by leading experts from academia and industry through well-structured projects, secondments, and training activities. This comprehensive approach

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Efficient Solar Cells based on Organic and hybrid Technology' (ESCORT).

assistant: **Concept**

Widespread uptake of inorganic semiconductor solar cells has been limited, with current solar cell arrays only producing between 4 to 7 GW of the 15 TW (<0.04%) global energy demand, despite the terrestrial solar resource being 120,000 TW. The industry is growing at a cumulative rate of over 40% per annum, even with effects of the financial crisis.The challenge facing the photovoltaic industry is cost effectiveness through much lower embodied energy. Plastic electronics and solution-processable inorganic semiconductors can revolutionise this industry due to their relatively easy and low cost processability (low embodied energy). The efficiency of solar cells fabricated from these “cheap” materials, is approaching competitive values, with comparison tests showing better performance for excitonic solar cells with reference to amorphous silicon in typical Northern European conditions. A 50% increase of the output will make these new solar cells commercially dominant in all markets since they are superior in capturing photons in non-ideal conditions (angled sun, cloud, haze) having a stable maximum power point over the full range of light intensity.  Our objectives are to exploit the joint leadership of the top European and Indian academic and industrial Institutions to foster the wide-spread uptake of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells technology, by improving over the current state of the art by innovative materials and processes. The Indian project will tentatively start within six months after the start of the European project.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Cellular interaction and Toxicology with engineered Nanoparticles' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The present proposal aims at the development of innovative multidisciplinary sets of tests and indicators for toxicological profiling of nanoparticles (NPs) as well as unravelling the correlation between the physicochemical characteristics of NPs and their toxic potential on various organs of the human body. For a comprehensive understanding of the complex data to be obtained on toxicology of NPs, based on in-vitro and ex-vivo studies, we will employ conventional toxicology combined with the methodologies of toxicogenomics, metabonomics, Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD) and Data Mining (DM).This research program is focused towards understanding the relation of size and surface chemistry on the deposition, uptake, translocation, and toxicity of a few s elected industrially important NPs as well as novel synthesized NPs, whose size and surface chemistry will be methodically modified. Since it was shown that the penetration of NPs into the human body proceeds principally through inhalation or orally, whereas penetration through healthy skin is restricted, we have chosen lung and intestine as the primary interacting tissues/organs with NPs, while liver, kidney and the immunological system have been selected to be the secondary major sites of interaction, following the penetration of NPs into the blood circulation.The interaction of the NPs with these different target organs will be studied by making use of alternative methods to animal experimentation by employing in-vitro cell systems as well as ex-vivo studies based on precision-cut slices of lung, liver and kidney. The present proposal addresses the needs of the European society for assessing the risk of occupational and general population exposure to industrially manufactured NPs. It will generate new knowledge on po
