user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Ideational Change through Collective Learning: Public Deliberation and the Decentring and Re-centring of Structures of Meaning' (LEARNINGDEMOI) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

This proposal pursues three objectives. First, to contribute to our understanding of the processes of ideational change that are triggered by public communication. In particular, it concentrates on the decentring and re-centring of socially shared structures of meaning. This is a topic that will be addressed empirically through three case studies. Second, by dealing with this question, this project is expected to contribute to deliberative theory's current endeavour to formulate more realistic models of public deliberation. In this regard, rhetorical and systemic perspectives have gained momentum within deliberative theory in the last years, showing a similar ambition to link normative political theory, on the one hand, and empirical research and actual political practice on the other; as well as to develop a more realistic macro approach to deliberative democracy, in contradistinction to previous approaches focusing on minipublics and specific participatory arenas. This project should be understood against this background. Its working hypothesis says that the theoretical framework developed by Habermasian cognitive sociology can illuminate the (communicatively) rational dimension of actual processes of ideational change, paving the way for a more realistic, yet normatively informed, perspective on public deliberation. Finally, this proposal, along with additional training activities, has been designed to support the fellow in attaining a leading independent position by enhancing his international visibility and integration in the European academic community.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Towards ‘youth boards’ in nonprofit sport organisations: a youth focused citizen social science for inclusive sport services'.

assistant: **Concept**

With ongoing migration waves, new questions arise about the integration of migrants, especially migrant youth who have emerging double cultural identities. Not understanding its value and having double consciousness may lead to further stigmatisation, (self)exclusion and conflict among communities. These already affect young people's sport & PA (physical activity) trends as they lean towards separate(d) sports clubs, a more ethnopluralist form of involvement through sport or an effort to gain a form of cultural capital. This project aims to design a 'youth board' model for nonprofit sports organisations (local sports clubs, sports federations) to achieve culturally diverse sports services.  The project will prioritise empowering the agency of young people from a multidisciplinary perspective through youth-focused citizen social science and implement digital youth participatory action research titled DigY-PAR via conventional and digital data collection methods (e.g. digital storytelling and crowdsourcing). Inductively, we will embrace an intersectional perspective and analyse youth sports participation trends by conducting qualitative and quantitative data-collecting techniques. In the project, I will use Du Bois's (1903) double consciousness concept to analyse the affect of having multiple cultural identities with migrant youth and, overall, how it affects their sports participation trends. The project will also involve a secondment with Sport.Brussels organisation to cooperate in preparing and operating the 'youth board' as a model for sports organisations. Overall, the project will help me to develop new research skills about digital humanities, cultural emotion studies, youth involvement and state-of-the-art quantitative research techniques, allow me to be part of d

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Implication of connexin 43 in chronic renal failure' (CX43-CRF), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Chronic renal failure (CRF), one of the main causes of disability in western societies, is promoted by a variety of factors including hypertension, diabetes, ischemic, immunological and toxic injury. These factors are linked by their common ability to promote chronic inflammation and fibrosis leading to decline of renal function. Dialysis and transplantation are the only available options that allow survival of patients. Arresting the progression of CRF is one of the major challenges of public health today.  Alterations of the expression of the gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) have been associated to the development of inflammation in chronic vascular pathologies. Thus, Cx43 expression was increased during atherogenesis, whereas Cx43 inhibition protected vessels from the development of atherosclerotic plaque. An up-regulation of the Cx43 expression has been also reported in renal inflammation and hypertension suggesting that this connexin may be involved in renal disease. In this project we intend to study the role of Cx43 in CRF and to propose treatments and diagnostic tools targeting this protein to protect against the disease. Thus, in our project: i) we will use the RenTg mice, expressing high steady levels of renin, to study modulation of Cx43 expression during progression of hypertension-induced renal disease; ii) Cx43-specific blockers will be administer to RenTg mice to see whether decreasing Cx43 expression could reverse the decline of renal function. Cx43 expression will be also reduced genetically by interbreeding the RenTg with the Cx43+/- mice; iii) we will attempt to delineate molecular mechanisms involving Cx43 regulation in endothelial cells in vitro under angiotensin II treatment, a peptide known to participate to renal vascular fibrosis.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Global Value Chains and Local Innovation Systems in Southern Europe: The Coevolution of Technology, Trade and Finance, and the Technological Divide' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

In the post-Bretton Woods world economy, global value chains (GVC) have become the principal pipelines not only of trade, but also of capital and technology flows, with a decisive impact on the industrial structure of local economies and the technological dynamics of their innovation systems. The proposed project aims to investigate from an empirical, theoretical and normative perspective this impact, as well as its macroeconomic repercussions in terms of productivity, growth, employment, income distribution and the core-periphery technological divide. It will also examine the industrial policies needed to mitigate the technology gaps and to enhance the value capture capacities of peripheral innovation systems by ‘upgrading’ within GVCs, against the backdrop of the financial crisis.At the empirical level, the project will focus on GVCs of knowledge-based manufacturing industries in crisis-afflicted Southern European economies. It will employ advanced statistical, computational and analytical methods at different geographical scales, ranging from econometric to social network analysis, agent-based, and stock-flow consistent modelling. At the theoretical level, it aspires to combine evolutionary, institutionalist, Schumpeterian and (post) Keynesian economic theories under a ‘systemic’ research programme on the crossroads of international economics, economic geography, innovation economics, theory of the firm, industrial organisation, and political economy of development. At the normative level, it will have significant implications for industrial, RTDI, trade, and regional development policies. This highly topical project aims to frame the post-crisis EU policy discourse on the future of the ERA, the Innovation Union, Europe 2020 growth strategy, and the ‘European investm

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'The coordination of national research activities of Member States and Associated States in the field of Ocean Energy (ERA-NET)'.

assistant: **Concept**

Europe’s vast coast line harbours a huge potential resource of ocean energy to be exploited as a renewable electricity source contributing towards the 2020 targets and beyond. The ocean is a complex working environment, relatively little is known about it and it is widely used by others, such as fishing, shipping and recreation. However, the prize for introducing ocean energy generation is high, estimated by DG MARE, at 380GW.Currently, several member states and regions are funding ocean energy research, demonstration, technology and innovation (RTDI). There is a shared goal to generate knowledge about the marine environment and to speed the development of this emerging sector. However these research efforts are not coordinated. This is why the member states are proposing the Ocean Energy ERA-NET as outlined in this paper. The ERA-NET will provide a framework for transnational joint activities and will cooperate with the EERA Ocean Energy Joint Programme; other relevant European projects and industry stakeholders.This wide reaching ERA-NET brings together 16 partners from nine member states intent on gaining the benefits of coordinated research funding. Member States have different levels of engagement in the ocean energy sector, and it is important that the ERA-NET actions reflect this. The objective is to improve the quality, scope and fragmentation of research through better networks, addressing common barriers and improving coordination. The proposal sets out the execution of the project from networking and information sharing to the launch of, at least one, transnational joint call. In doing so the partners will develop a shared vision for the sector, an action plan for delivery and a toolkit for call administration. The result will be reduced fragmentation in rese

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Fronto-striatal circuits and cognitive function - a functional mri-study in human control subjects' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content The aim of the proposed research project is to study functional subcortico-cortical activity during motor and cognitive tasks in normal subjects in order to demonstrate the existence of different segregated, parallel fronto-striatal circuits by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A special effort will made (1) to determine, within these circuits, the respective role of the cortex and the striatum in a variety of behavioral patterns which we assume to be organized by these fronto-striatal circuits; (2) to better understand the cognitive and the behavioral impairments resulting from lesions of the frontal lobe and the basal ganglia observed in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders (Frontal lobe dementias, Parkinson`s disease). Cerebral activation will be monitored in 15 healthy humans (age 18 to 45). Six tasks will continiously be presented to the subjects. This tasks will allow to test perception, motor control, working memory, visual working memory buffer, mental deduction and motivation. Finger movements will be initiated and executed on a keyboard in response to visual stimuli presented through a pair of mirror glasses connected to a LCD screen. T1-weighted fMRI sequences will be recorded using a high-field MRI scanner (3 Tesla; BRUCKER, at Orsay) which allows to increase the spatial resolution of the signal and thus to discriminate between different basal ganglia nuclei. Moreover, echo-planar sequences will be used, allowing image aquisition within 50-60 miliseconds. According to the conducted tasks activation in the visual cortex, primary motor cortex, lateral premotor cortex, the SMA, DLPFC, OFPFC, the putamen, dorsal nucleus caudatus and the ventral striatum are expected to be activated.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'The MAgnetic field in the GALaxy, using Optical Polarization of Stars' (MAGALOPS).

assistant: **Concept**

What makes our Galaxy’s ecosystem so fascinating is the complex interactions between its components: stars, gas, dust, magnetic fields, and cosmic rays. Of these components, the Galactic magnetic field (GMF) may well be the most enigmatic. Only partially observable through indirect means, its study relies heavily on modeling, almost exclusively using line-of-sight integrated radio-polarimetric data.  Although much has been learned, many questions are still unanswered especially about the turbulent, small-scale field component and out-of-plane field. The crucial innovations proposed here are large independent data sets with 3D (distance) information – which can only be provided by stars polarized due to differential absorption by interstellar dust, with known distances – and more advanced Bayesian statistics which allows including prior knowledge and enables quantitative model comparison. I propose to use 2 new polarization surveys in the V (visual) band, resulting in polarimetry of millions of stars across the southern sky. With distance information provided by the GAIA satellite, this improves the current data situation by 3 orders of magnitude. We will test GMF models against all available data, employing a Bayesian inference software package which we are developing. In the process, we will produce the first 3D all-sky (out to absorption limits) dust distribution consistent with both UV/optical/near IR absorption and optical polarization.This research will result in a next-generation GMF model that includes all observational GMF tracers and can use informative priors. It will allow mapping out interstellar magnetized turbulence in the Galaxy, instead of providing averaged parameters only, and understanding the interplay between the local GMF, gas and dust. Its legacy
