user: Explain how 'Cross-cultural misunderstandings of conflict avoidance: A multi-method test of the roles of attributions and communication enhancement' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Cross-cultural interpretations of conflict avoidance have not been examined previously but have important implications for global organizations. Furthermore, in some cultures, avoidance is viewed as a negative coping strategy in terms of negotiation and conflict management, whereas in other cultures, it is seen as a positive strategy.  Thus, I propose to examine three specific research objectives, namely (1) Understanding cross-cultural interpretations of and attributions made for avoidance behavior; (2) Examining the relationship between attributions for avoidance and outcomes in the context of negotiation; (3) Testing an intervention aimed at improving cross-cultural understanding of avoidance. Specifically, I propose to test hypotheses about how avoidant behavior is interpreted during a cross-cultural negotiation between Jewish and Arab Israelis. Attributions for avoidance are hypothesized to be correlated with outcomes, and information sharing is hypothesized to mediate the relationship between attributions and outcomes. Research questions will first be explored during qualitative interviews with Arab and Jewish Israeli managers in Israel, and hypotheses will subsequently be tested in an experimental study. Given the differences between Arab and Jewish cultural norms for avoidance, Israel provides an excellent laboratory for examining how avoidance of conflict is interpreted (or misinterpreted) cross-culturally. The proposed research also has direct implications for the EU mission of transfer of knowledge, and is in line with the EU’s goals for greater political and economic integration within the EU, between the EU and its neighbors, and throughout the Middle East.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Crop Protection Strategies for the Transition to Environmentally-Friendly Agriculture'.

assistant: **Concept**

The withdrawal of the most harmful pesticides from the EU market is necessary to mitigate major environmental harm, but is leaving many farmers in a desperate position.CROP-SAFE has identified 3 critical cases of food crops under threat from rapidly spreading pests, whilst go-to pesticides are identified by ECHA as candidates for imminent withdrawal, i.e. Candidates for Substitution (CfS) and Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).1. Potato crops, widely threatened by Potato cyst nematode (PCN). The approval period for the leading active against PCN, Fosthiazate (CfS), expires in 2027. 2. Tomato crops, suffering from losses up to 65% due to Root knot nematode (RKN). The approval period for Metham sodium (CfS, SVHV), one of the most widely uses actives against RKN, expires in 2025.3. Banana crops, suffering from the European emergence of Banana Weevils (BW). Growers are using Lambda-cyhalothrin (CfS, SVHC) to manage BW, but the approval period lapses in 2026.CROP-SAFE will develop a holistic package of tools (bioactives, delivery materials, formulations and decision support models) for effective and sustainable management of PCN, RKN, and BW in these crops.Using scalable supplies of bio-based residues (aquatic biomass, forestry residues, spent coffee grounds and fungal waste) and three biorefining partners, CROP-SAFE will down-select the most effective boiactives and delivery materials as a basis for new, SSbD crop protection products. Field trials will be supported by decision support models, overcoming challenges associated with the variable performance of bioactives in different environmental conditions.The CROP-SAFE consortium combines the expertise of 3 Universities (UA, CNR, IQS-URL) and 4 RTOs (CPI, VITO, LEITAT, JHI) with material processing capacity in 3 biorefi

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Marine Invertebrate Small-Scale Fisheries in Timor-Leste:  Monitoring, Management and Sustainability' (SHELLFISH), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Marine invertebrate Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) contribute to food security, nutrition and to national and global economies and growth. Despite their societal and ecological importance and vulnerability to rapid coastal changes, these fisheries remain frequently overlooked in fisheries research, lack of management plans and are marginalized in policy-making processes. Moreover, the role of women, actively involved in these fisheries, is not reflected in fisheries statistics and census data. There is an urgent need for a global perspective in the management of marine invertebrate SSF combined with local assessments and monitoring that integrate fisher’s perceptions,views and knowledge. SHELLFISH aims to understand the multiple social and ecological processes underlying and shaping marine invertebrate SSF, while developing inclusive tools and strategies for their long-term accountability and sustainability. To achieve these goals, the present project will undertake transdisciplinary research in a small, insular country that will display “magnifying glass” effect to the entire process: from theory to applied science to the influence of policy-making processes. SHELLFISH will link anthropological, ecological and fisheries approaches to (i) assess the diversity, extent and dynamics of marine invertebrate SSF, and (ii) identify ecological and social drivers of change, vulnerability and sustainability. Parallelly, the firmly entrenched political position of the host institution in the third country, and a series of wisely planned outreach activities will facilitate the incorporation of research outcomes into policy and governance actions. The project results will create stronger links between knowledge production and societal transformation, and will be of particular interest,

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Decoding genetic switches in T helper cell differentiation' (THSWITCH).

assistant: **Concept**

The central question of this proposal is: how are changes in cell state regulated at the transcriptomic and epigenetic level? I will tackle this question using an integrated computational and experimental approach with the T helper cell system as my model. The Th system consists of a naïve precursor cell type, and four main differentiated cell types that have some capacity to interconvert, known as plasticity. The experiments will be designed to measure both entire transcriptomes and single mRNAs by single molecule RNA-FISH.(i) Quantifying genetic switches. On a genome-wide scale, what is the distribution of gene expression levels in the Th cell types? Do genes have two discrete expression levels (on and off) in terms of mRNAs per cell or a continuous distribution of expression levels? How do epigenetic marks correlate with expression levels? We will use genome-wide RNA-seq and epigenetic ChIP-seq experiments on homogeneous populations of cells coupled with new computational methods.(ii) The molecular nature of the genetic switch. What is the hierarchy and kinetics of molecular events that drive gene expression changes during differentiation and plasticity? Using highly resolved timecourse experiments to profile individual cell generations, we will unravel the temporal order of regulation by transcription factors, microRNAs and epigenetic factors using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq experiments. We will integrate the data computationally to infer new regulatory interactions.(iii) How genetic switches drive cell type switches. Which transcription factors directly regulate cytokines, the phenotypic readout of Th cells? Are the kinetics of these interactions graded or switch-like? What is the extent of stochastic cell-to-cell variation? We will validate predicted transcription facto

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Agroforestry at the forefront of farming sustainability in multifunctional landscapes in Europe' (REFOREST), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The primary mission of the project is to foster innovation, knowledge exchange and provide novel solutions to empower farmers in Europe and associated countries to deliver to multiple objectives: food production, carbon capture, and biodiversity. Agroforestry is an auspicious land use type, allowing farmers to continue producing food while significantly improving the environmental sustainability of their operations. Integration of trees into agricultural business contributes to a host of ecosystem services, lowering the environmental and social impact of food production. Past research has attempted to foster the renaissance of agroforestry in Europe, resulting in a sizeable knowledge base and modelling capability. The most critical barriers to agroforestry adoption in Europe relate to lack of knowledge, impact of tree planting on farm business, and unclear policy support positioned between agriculture and forestry. We will employ a co-creation and multi-actor approach as our fundamental research method to place agroforestry systems in the right balance of farm productivity, socio-economic viability and sustainability. We will maximise the use of existing knowledge and data, utilise agroforestry living labs built upon foundations laid by previous projects, and establish a stakeholder and actor engagement platform to enable knowledge transfer, training and innovation. This project will prioritise enhancing knowledge exchange and transfer, enabling the integration of carbon and biodiversity finance in farm business models, and by proposing targeted policy interventions as solutions to overcoming barriers to agroforestry expansion.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Metabolism of Novel Strains of Arctic Algae', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Due to increasing environmental and economic pressures, there is a need to develop more efficient and sustainable food, feed and fuel production systems. Microalgae have substantial potential as single-cell molecular factories for producing high quality lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. They are capable of faster growth rates than crop plants and synthesize valuable metabolites that do not occur naturally in other primary producers. However, a major bottleneck that currently limits widespread microalgae production are the low yields achieved by commercial strains in cold climates. This project will develop new varieties of microalgae isolated from Arctic and Antarctic environments for applied bioprocesses. The work will include studying the metabolism of novel microalgae in low temperature bioreactors using functional genomics. The researcher will spend the outgoing phase at an established microalgae metabolism laboratory in the USA, where complete and very high quality training will be given in cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. Genomic and transcriptomic work will be paired with metabolomics to give new insights into the regulation of metabolism in non-model microalgae species. The research will also include integrating data together into metabolic flux model frameworks. The major research outcomes will be (1) Genome-scale characterization of brand-new varieties of microalgae (2) Development of novel microalgae bioprocesses for high yields of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates in cold climates (3) Predictive metabolic models for maximizing yields of products of interest in non-model varieties of microalgae. In addition, comprehensive work and dissemination plans are presented that will target scientists, industry and the public.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Building an evidence base to support Polish women victims of domestic violence in the UK.' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

This 21 month MSCA Fellowship will develop a vital evidence base for domestic violence services in the UK and Europe to improve reporting and access to support by Polish migrant women in violent relationships. This will be achieved by conducting the first study of domestic violence amongst Polish migrant women living in the UK or indeed in any EU country. The research will capture the various factors shaping the domestic violence experiences of Polish women and work of practitioners (specialist domestic violence workers, social workers, police officers). The findings will also enhance conceptual understanding of how migration and transnational factors shape domestic violence. The Fellowship will draw on an inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration between Dr Iwona Zielińska (Researcher), Supervisor Celia Madden – the manager of EDAN Lincs (Host organisation) and an interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Lincoln (secondment). This will ensure applied, practice-focused research and training with a 6-month inter-sectoral secondment to the UoL for academic input. The Society & Enterprise route of the MSCA scheme serves best to realise the practice-related aim of the research and to advance Dr Zielińska’s career goal of becoming an expert in translating research evidence to practice settings.A combination of qualitative methods from media studies, sociology and organizational studies, and the use of online tool NodeXL,will be used to obtain a holistic picture and in-depth knowledge on the problem from various perspectives. The Fellowship will thus generate the first research findings on this important dimension of vulnerability and harm. The findings and recommendations will be widely disseminated and communicated in UK, Poland and other EU count

user: Explain how 'Disentangling psychological interventions for mental disorders into a taxonomy of active ingredients' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Severe mental disorders, like psychotic or borderline personality are associated with higher mortality, both all-cause and by suicide. Psychological interventions, usually combined with other treatments, are effective options, though less so than for common mental disorders. However, mechanisms and predictors of treatment response, key for improving effectiveness and for precision medicine, are mostly unknown. The greatest barrier is our approach to psychological interventions as “brands” or categories, without knowledge of active ingredients, and particularly of which ingredients are effective. The proposal will bridge this gap by dismantling psychological interventions into components, integrating these into a taxonomy, and radically reevaluating treatment efficacy and personalization from a novel perspective: components instead of brands and categories. We will use recent network meta-analyses to assemble a large collection of psychological interventions for severe mental disorders (psychotic, bipolar, substance use, eating and borderline personality). We will retrieve intervention protocols and extract components iteratively, via multiple rounds of independent coding. We will integrate components in a cross-disorder, comprehensive taxonomy, validated in Delphi surveys and a consensus meeting. We will reevaluate psychological interventions for severe disorders through component network meta-analysis, to identify the most beneficial ingredients and combinations, for symptoms, functioning and attrition outcomes. We will reassess treatment personalization through a component-based lens using individual patient data for psychosis. Finally, we will develop an open clinical decision support system, where users can “assemble” and “dismantle” interventions, visualizing effic

user: Explain how 'A breakthrough LED driver that brings a smaller, cheaper, lighter and more environmentally friendly solution to the LED lighting industry.' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Since its inception, LEDs are driven by a constant voltage or current with some compensation for temperature fluctuations. As the power grid works on alternating current, a rectifier circuit is required, in virtually all cases combined with a DC convertor. This type of circuitry is constructed along the principles of a switched mode power supply, which requires a reactance. In short: current LED lamps contain complex constructed technologies, which limits lifetime, reduces design versatility and increases costs.We take a different approach. NRGDriver is built by discrete components and semiconductors. The size of the solution does not grow with increasing power requirements and it comprises only about 10 components: less components means less cost, less failure and less waste of energy. While current drivers are considered to be the Achilles’ heel for LED lighting, the concept of NRGDriver offers a breakthrough in LED driver technologies, making possible the same revolution in size, function and cost as happened to mobiles phones – but now in 1 jump.So far, we have invested more than €1.5M into the development of the NRGDriver to ensure its robustness and efficiency. We now seek further investments of about €1.45M. This sum will allow us to surpass the so-called “valley of death” and reach commercialization.The proposed work in Phase 1 of the SME instrument fits into our overall plan to reach the market by contributing the financial resources needed to plan a fast sound wider deployment of NRGDriver and its market uptake.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Fabrication and characterization of dielectric encapsulated millions of ordered kilometer-long nanostructures and their applications'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of this project is the realization of a radically new nanowire fabrication technique, and exploration of its potential for nanowire based science and technology. The proposed method involves fabrication of unusually long, ordered nanowire and nanotube arrays in macroscopic fibres by means of an iterative thermal co-drawing process. Starting with a macroscopic rod with an annular hole tightly fitted with another rod of another compatible material, by successive thermal drawing we obtain arrays of nanowires embedded in fibres. With the method, wide range of materials, e.g. semiconductors, polymers, metals, can be turned into ordered nanorods, nanowires, nanotubes in various cross-sectional geometries. Main challenges are the thermal drawing steps that require critical matching of the viscoelastic properties of the protective cover with the encapsulated materials, and the liquid instability problems and phase intermixing with higher temperatures and smaller feature sizes that require high thermal and mechanical precision. Initially, fabrication by drawing will begin with soft amorphous semiconductors, phase change materials, polymers of interest in high temperature polymers, followed by a wider range of materials, low melting temperature metals, metals and common semiconductors (Si, Ge) in silica glass matrices. In this way nanowires that are ordered, easily accessible and hermetically sealed in a dielectric encapsulation will be obtained in high volumes. Potentially, these nanowires are advantages over on-chip nanowires in building flexible out of plane geometries, light weight, wearable and disposable devices. Ultimately, attaining ordered arrays of 1-D nanostructures in an extended flexible fibre with high yields will facilitate sought-after but up-to-now
