user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'A multi-scale perspective into collective problem solving in ants' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Cognition improves an animal’s ability to tune its responses to environmental conditions. In group living animals, communication works to form a collective cognition that expands the group’s abilities beyond those of individuals. Despite much research, to date, there is little understanding of how collective cognition emerges within biological ensembles. A major obstacle towards such an understanding is the rarity of comprehensive multi-scale empirical data of these complex systems. We have demonstrated cooperative load transport by ants to be an ideal system to study the emergence of cognition. Similar to other complex cognitive systems, the ants employ high levels of emergence to achieve efficient problem solving over a large range of scenarios. Unique to this system, is its extreme amenability to experimental measurement and manipulation where internal conflicts map to forces, abstract decision making is reflected in direction changes, and future planning manifested in pheromone trails. This allows for an unprecedentedly detailed, multi-scale empirical description of the moment-to-moment unfolding of sophisticated cognitive processes.This proposal is aimed at materializing this potential to the full. We will examine the ants’ problem solving capabilities under a variety of environmental challenges.  We will expose the underpinning rules on the different organizational scales, the flow of information between them, and their relative contributions to collective performance. This will allow for empirical comparisons between the ‘group’ and the ‘sum of its parts’ from which we will quantify the level of emergence in this system. Using the language of information, we will map the boundaries of this group’s collective cognition and relate them to the range of habitable env

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Millimetre-Wave Superconducting Quantum Circuits' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

I propose an experimental program to investigate quantum-coherent properties of superconducting circuits at frequencies one order of magnitude larger than those demonstrated until now. My idea is to develop a new generation of superconducting qubits with significantly increased energy level separation between their ground and the first excited states. Pushing the operation frequency of superconducting qubits up offers a number of potential technological advantages. Due to the increased level separation, such novel millimetre-wave quantum processors could be operated at much higher temperatures than their present counterparts. Even at millikelvin temperatures, the higher qubit resonance frequency will offer better protection from non-thermal noise. Furthermore, qubit logic gates can be performed faster at higher frequencies. Quantum circuit components can be reduced in size due to smaller wavelength at higher frequencies, thus allowing for a smaller footprint, denser packaging and better integration. These numerous potential advantages face nevertheless a number of challenges and pose open questions that will be addressed and are aimed to be answered in the proposed project. The goal is to develop prototype qubits for the 100 GHz frequency range and to demonstrate their manipulation and quantum state tomography. This challenging project will unearth fundamental knowledge about decoherence in this yet unexplored frequency range. We will study dielectric loss and other decoherence sources as functions of frequency and temperature. Once successful, this approach will open a new way of building a superconducting quantum computer.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'The first bioherbicide blocking germination of herbicide-resistant weeds'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Weeds cause more than 35 Billion € annual global losses, equivalent to 34% of crop yield. If weeds were uncontrolled, about 50% of the crops would be lost. Therefore, synthetic (chemical) herbicides have been used since the late 1940s. However, herbicide’s use has resulted in weed’s evolution. Hence, the most persistent challenge of modern agriculture is the increasing incidence of weed resistance. Bioherbicides have been introduced as an efficient, yet environmentally-friendly alternative to synthetic herbicides. However, they perform inconsistently, have limited shelf-life, have potential adverse effects for humans and are not economically viable. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new technological methods of weed control and management that do not depend on synthetic herbicide use. We are developing SteriWeed, a novel biological herbicide based on treated pollen and designed to target the resistant-weed and not the crop. It is non-toxic, not chemical engineered, easy to apply and cost-effective. Our innovation lies in its simplicity as the SteriWeed production method consists of only two steps: natural pollen harvesting and irradiation. The results are inviable weeds, unable to produce seeds in the next season. Today, our team of 6 employees with interdisciplinary background have reached the proof of concept of our technology for A. palmeri, one of the most threaten weeds in the US, reaching outstanding weed control results. The goal of this project is to expand our technology towards the control of the main resistant weeds threatening the European crops. We estimate that in five years after launching the commercialization phase, SteriWeed will cover over 1.5 million ha across Europe, Israel and USA. We will reach €42 million in cumulative revenues (cumul

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'EnTimeMent - ENtrainment and synchronization at multiple TIME scales in the MENTal foundations of expressive gesture' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

EnTimeMent aims at a radical change in scientific research and enabling technologies for human movement qualitative analysis, entrainment and prediction, based on a novel neuro-cognitive approach of the multiple, mutually interactive time scales characterizing human behaviour. Our approach will afford the development of computational models for the automated detection, measurement, and prediction of movement qualities from behavioural signals, based on multi-layer parallel processes at non-linearly stratified temporal dimensions, and will radically transform technology for human movement analysis. EnTimeMent new innovative scientifically-grounded and time-adaptive technologies operate at multiple time scales in a multi-layered approach: motion capture and movement analysis systems will be endowed with a completely novel functionality, achieving a novel generation of time-aware multisensory motion perception and prediction systems. The proposed model and technologies will be iteratively tested and refined, by designing and performing controlled and ecological experiments, ranging from action prediction in a controlled laboratory setting, to prediction in dyadic and small group interaction. EnTimeMent scenarios include health (healing and support of everyday life of persons with chronic pain and disability), performing arts (e.g. dance), sports, and entertainment group activities, with and without living architectures. EnTimeMent will create and support community-building and exploitation with concrete initiatives, including a community of users and stakeholders, innovation hubs and SME incubators, as premises for the consolidation beyond the end of the project in a broader range of market areas.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Exploring the Holobiont concept through a Plant Evolutionary Experiment study' (HoloE2Plant) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

The evolutionary processes underlying interactions between hosts and their associated microbes is a black box on which biologists have long attempted to shed light. A limiting factor has been knowledge of the precise molecular events, which are now increasingly possible to elucidate with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies. The Big Data era have revolutionized evolutionary studies through sequencing of thousands of genomes allowing tracing genomic changes. Coupled to these technologies experimental evolution transformed evolution from a predictive to a functional science by opening a window on evolutionary changes in real-time. The challenge that now awaits evolutionary science is in identifying the trajectories simultaneously driving evolution in hosts and microbes. In this context, HoloE2Plant will validate the holobiont concept by looking at the simultaneous evolution of the host and its microbiome. This will be possible thanks to an experimental coevolution approach applied to fast-cycling Brassica rapa plants and Synthetic Microbial Communities (SynComs). SynComs will be selected from bacterial and fungal collections previously established from wild B. rapa populations. This ambitious project is timely and feasible thanks to the combination of high-throughput sequencing, cutting-edge modelling methods for microbial functional network reconstruction and a novel co-evolutionary quantitative genetic approach that will be developed here. Experimental evolution will be carried out in presence/absence of the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani and the genetic bases underlying microbial-plant interactions and associated with disease resistance will be identified. HoloE2Plant will contribute to validating the holobiont concept and will provide unique metho

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Wind, Efficient, Light, Lifter' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The “WELL” system, protected by patent in Europe and in the USA is an innovation and technological advancement on a global scope, that allows the assembly and replacement of the blades of a wind turbine on a wind farm without needing to use large tonnage cranes, by using a “telescopic lift” system that uses the turbine wind tower itself as a support system. It can be operated by no more than 3 workers (vs 14), work can be completed in less than 24 hours (vs. 72), and in winds of up to 12 metre/second (vs. <7m/s), thus minimizing the number of accidents, reducing the waiting period for blade replacements, reducing the cost of the operation by more than 90%, and also reducing the profit loss for wind farm operators (approximately €2000 per day). Leunamme Engineering has an agreement with Iberdrola to launch the WELL system. WELL is aligned with the global target «20-20-20» of the European Union.The main customer groups of WELL system are the wind farms operators, and manufacturers of wind turbines.  They are interested in reducing maintenance costs and in maximizing the operational hours of the wind farm, because O&M expenses are becoming critical in order to be more competitive and less dependent on public support.Through this Feasibility Analysis, the design of a technological scalability and commercial expansion strategy of the company services at a European and global level have been approached, in order to include other generator models and other large components of wind turbines. Phase II would consider the implementation of the technological scaling development of WELL system.The WELL proposal was presented for the first time to the last call of the SME-Intrument program (18-03-2015, SIE-01-2015 1 P) achieving a total score of 12,88.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Secure Computation on Encrypted Data' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Recent trends in computing have prompted users and organizations to store an increasingly large amount of sensitive data at third party locations in the cloud outside of their direct control. Storing data remotely poses an acute security threat as these data are outside our control and could potentially be accessed by untrusted parties. Indeed, the reality of these threats have been borne out by the Snowden leaks and hundreds of data breaches each year. In order to protect our data, we will need to encrypt it.Functional encryption is a novel paradigm for public-key encryption that enables both fine-grained access control and selective computation on encrypted data, as is necessary to protect big, complex data in the cloud. Functional encryption also enables searches on encrypted travel records and surveillance video as well as medical studies on encrypted medical records in a privacy-preserving manner; we can give out restricted secret keys that reveal only the outcome of specific searches and tests. These mechanisms allow us to maintain public safety without compromising on civil liberties, and to facilitate medical break-throughs without compromising on individual privacy.The goals of the aSCEND project are (i) to design pairing and lattice-based functional encryption that are more efficient and ultimately viable in practice; and (ii) to obtain a richer understanding of expressive functional encryption schemes and to push the boundaries from encrypting data to encrypting software. My long-term vision is the ubiquitous use of functional encryption to secure our data and our computation, just as public-key encryption is widely used today to secure our communication. Realizing this vision requires new advances in the foundations of functional encryption, which is the tar

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'HERON Center of Excellence in Robotics' (HERON) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

This project aims to create the first Robotics Center of Excellence (CoE) in Greece for advancing the science and technology of robotics in the AI era coupled with industrial innovation. The new CoE, named HERON (Hellenic Robotics Center), will be a team effort between the Athena Research Center, an excellent team of Greek University Professors, the Italian Institute of Technology, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. HERON will be driven by excellence and pursue world class research in areas that reflect current and emerging challenges of national and EU value, covering a broad spectrum of R&I directions empowered by AI: (1) Safety/Security, including aerial, ground, and marine robotics; (2) Field Robotics, including agriculture, maritime, logistics, and space; (3) Healthcare, including mobility and cognitive assistance of motor-impaired and elderly people, surgical and socially assistive robotics. HERON will build Makerspaces and Joint Labs to support validation, research demonstration, education, and maker training throughout Greece and beyond. It will initiate and coordinate actions to mobilise and collaborate with the Greek Robotics Ecosystem, emphasizing strategic collaborations between academia and industry towards innovation across the entire Robotics value chain. Such actions, backed by the compelling background, experience and synergy between the partners, and the multidisciplinary HERON team, provide a unique prospect to establish a sustainable Robotics CoE in Greece, which can transform the Greek ecosystem with major benefits to the economy and social well-being. The proposal is strongly supported by the Greek Government with matching funds and by over 70 public and private sector entities (industry, universities, research centers, clusters, regions) f

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Specialized translation factors and resistance in antibiotic producing actinomycetes'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Research objectives and content Antibiotic producing bacteria need an effective self-defense mechanism. In the case of antibiotics acting on elongation factor Tu, the expression of specialized resistant EF-Tus may enable the producers to survive. Firstly, the mechanism of inhibition of the antibiotic GE2270A on the peptide-chain elongation cycle and its binding to the target protein EF-Tu will be examined by analyzing the resistant EF-Tu from the GE2270A-producing Planobispora rosea and mutated EF-Tus from E. coli. The results will be compared to those described for kirromycin and pulvomycin. Secondly, OtrA, the EF-G-like oxytetracyclineresistance protein of Streptomyces rimosus, will be investigated by in vitro studies in order to elucidate its functioning in ribosome reactivation. Mutant OtrA that binds XTP instead of GTP will give a clue about the individual contributions of OtrA and EF-G/EF-Tu. Altogether, the results will not only contribute to the understanding of self-defense mechanisms in antibiotic producing organisms, but also to an expansion of current views on the fundamental process of protein biosynthesis. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) The training objective of the project is to gain experiences in in vitro and in vivo translation systems, in the isolation and functional characterization of proteins and in the analysis of antibiotic inhibition mechanisms. Besides learning technical skills, I also expect to benefit for my scientific experience from the excellent research climate at the Leiden University and the group of Dr. Kraal, in particular. Furthermore, via the active participation of the group in the EU Network ERBCHRXCT 940510 I will have favourable contacts with other member groups working on translation factors with comp

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'HIGH PERFORMANCE NANOSTRUCTURE PERMANENT MAGNETS'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The development of a new generation of permanent magnets is more urgent than ever in view of the demand for more efficient engines in wind energy, all electric cars and space applications. The purpose of this proposal is to exploit the opportunities available to fabricate powders of magnetically hard rare earth intermetallic nanoparticles/nanograins to develop new classes of anisotropic nanocomposite magnets with previously unattainable high energy products, (BH)max . We will use both ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ approaches to develop these materials. This program will be directed towards the synthesis and investigation of magnetically hard powders consisting of anisotropic Sm-Co, Sm-Fe-N and Nd-Fe-B nanoparticles with sizes below 300 nm, and soft powders based on Fe(Co) nanoparticles with sizes in the range of 10-20 nm and with properties close to those of the bulk. We shall use a variety of different fabrication techniques including chemical and mechano-chemical synthesis, surfactant assisted milling, and cluster gun deposition. Research will be focused on the 2:14:1/Fe(Co), 1:5/Fe(Co), 2:17/Fe(Co) and Sm2Fe17Nx/Fe(Co) nanocomposite systems. Micromagnetic calculations will be used to model different architectures for the optimum performance using parameters including particle size and shape, the geometrical arrangement of the hard and soft nanoparticles, and hard/soft structures with core/shell morphology. These modelled nanostructures will be fabricated for comparison with theoretical predictions and further optimisation. The emphasis will shift towards the blending, alignment and consolidation of the hard/soft powder architectures to obtain the next generation bulk permanent magnets with a twofold increase of the (BH)max at room temperature i.e. up to 800 KJ/m3.
