user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Power control for wind turbines in weak grids' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Objectives The overall project objective is to identify and analyse methods and technologies for making it viable to utilise more of the wind potential in remote areas. A power control concept for wind turbines which will even out the power fluctuations and make it possible to increase the wind energy penetration will be developed. The main options are to combine wind power with a pumped hydro power storage or with an AC/DC converter and battery storage. The AC/DC converter can either be an add-on" type or it can be designed as an integrated part of a variable speed wind turbine. Combining wind power with the power control concept makes wind power more firm and possible to connect to weaker grids. When the power control concept is developed, the expectation is that for certain wind power installations, the cost of the power control may be paid back as added wind power capacity value and saved grid reinforcement costs. Technical Approach The project comprises concept development, prototype testing and case studies. The concept is developed by applying existing simulation models. To gain actual hardware experience a 50 kW, 30 kWh "add-on" power control prototype is being developed by ABB (NO) and will be tested throughout the project period at the Test Station for Wind Turbines, Risø (DK). The test programme includes performance assessment and monitoring of operating conditions under real life conditions and for various control strategies. Case studies will be conducted for Madeira (PT) and County Donegal (IE). Both areas have favourable wind conditions but limited grid capacity for significant utilisation of wind power. The case studies analyse and suggest solutions for efficient use of wind energy in the power system by applying the power control system. Expected Achiev

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Universalism or selectivism? What citizens think about the institutional design of the future welfare state' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Throughout the years, it has become conventional wisdom in social policy literature that universal policies, accessible to all citizens/residents, enjoy higher levels of popular support than selective policies targeted at the poor only. At first sight, the empirical evidence in support of this claim seems convincing. A large number of public opinion studies, conducted in different countries and different years, reveal the same pattern: universally targeted programs, such as most old-age pensions and healthcare systems, consistently receive higher levels of support than selective programs, such as means-tested social assistance and housing allowances. There are, however, two very good reasons why we need further research into the social legitimacy of universal vis-à-vis selective welfare. First, the studies that are typically cited to support the claim that universalism is more popular are inconclusive, because they conflate the institutional design of welfare programs with their respective target groups: the programs that are compared differ not only in terms of their design, but also in terms of the groups they target. Second, there appears to be considerable variation in public support for universalism and selectivism across countries, time, and policy domains. Therefore, the social legitimacy of universal vis-à-vis selective welfare provision remains very much an open question for future research to explore. Based on a unique combination of cross-national, experimental and longitudinal data, this project will reveal under which circumstances -when, where and why- one social policy design option is more popular than the other. In doing so, it makes a vital contribution to ongoing academic and political debates on the institutional design of the future welfare state.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Nanostructures of Oxides for Terahertz IMaging Exploration'.

assistant: **Concept**

The NANOTIME project relies on a bipolar competence: that of a recognised research laboratory (founded in 1968); and that of a high level engineering institute (founded in 1894).Moreover, the research field targeted terahertz imaging" involves multidisci plinary issues such as materials sciences and nanotechnologies, electromagnetics or electronic circuits design, astronomy (in the planet atmospheres or interstellar matter areas), environment on both pollution and climate contexts, energy in the renewable sources area (plasma diagnoses for atomic fusion), transportation (air and marine navigation), security of the civilians (in the concealed weapons or fraud products or fire alarm areas), vegetal (leaf degradation) or animal (food quality) or human disease (tooth decay) diagnoses, as well.We are proposing a monosite project that also involves interrelated groups to form an excellence pole. The core of it will be located at Supélec (École supérieure d'électricité), which is a leading engineering institute having a very special position due to its private status and its privileged links with public education and research entities. Supélec hosts the LGEP (Paris Electrical Engineering Laboratory), which is leading the project.To NANOTIME other research groups will be implied, as well as the SME SATIMO whose competence relies on electromagnetic characterization. What does bring this project, to the level of a comprehensive training project, is Supélec's belonging to the TIME association that includes Supélec with 40 other higher education European institutions, to promote collaboration in training and research.The NANOTIME pole aims at- creating an 'Ile-de-France' competence devoted to the training of young scientists in a hot topic research field,- developing a scientific b

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Rapid prototyping of aluminium alloy products by semi-solid extrusion' (1998-2002) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Rapid prototyping (RP) techniques, and in particular, fused deposition modelling (FDM), have proven to be useful in the development of new products, providing significant savings in time, costs and materials for an otherwise long iterative process involving design, building of prototypes, testing and evaluation. However, FDM can only be used for plastics. Today a greater need exists for metal products as well. The further development of FDM with metals, better known as extrusion deposition of semi-solid metals (EDSSM), requires solving a number of technical issues including the handling of higher melting temperatures, control of flow rates (of molten metal) and tolerances, and optimisation of material microstructure and product properties. The main objective of this project is thus to develop the EDSSM processes into a viable industrial technique for the rapid prototyping of metallic products. To this end, a prototype EDSSM machine will be built and process parameters for making products using conventional alloys will be determined. The work will include materials selection, rheological and micro structural studies, optimisation of properties and design. The equipment will be demonstrated at the end of the programme.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Mobile Crowd Sourcing Video Scene Reconstruction'.

assistant: **Innovation**

If you visited a rock concert recently, or any other event that attracts crowds, you cannot ignore the many people taking videos of the scenario in that specific event at the same time, using their mobile phone cameras. Our vision involves using the power of the crowd of multiple mobile phone users to create a higher quality and 3 dimensional video experience that can be shared by social networks interested in this event. We would like to offer a two- fold infrastructure: technological and social so that the individual documented experience from the mobile user's view point will lead into a 3D video experience that can be distributed into social networks and individual domains. Our aim is to have an aggregated 3D video feed that can be a live and interactive 3D scene application where you can travel across the 3D video, see people and stuff that is going on and manipulate the pictures according to multiple applications' purposes. Beyond the individual experience, the people that contributed in sourcing and generating this 3D scene and who are interested in it will constitute an ad hoc virtual community.

user: Describe how 'Unlocking Precision Gene Therapy' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Gene therapy has recently shown remarkable potential to offer definitive treatments for otherwise incurable diseases. Currently, seven gene therapy products have reached the market and many more are entering clinical testing for selected indications. Moreover, emerging technologies for targeted gene editing are complementing the scope of conventional gene transfer, opening the way to precise gene correction and making possible to silence, activate or recode any sequence of interest in the genome. However, in order to realize the full potential of these strategies and broaden application of gene therapy, the field has to solve several major hurdles, including: risk of insertional mutagenesis by gene transfer vectors, limited efficiency and durability of some gene correction strategies, off target effects of editing tools, poor tissue targeting and immune response to editing components and delivery vehicles. UPGRADE will offer radical new solutions to overcome these hurdles. We will exploit and further develop disruptive new technologies for precision gene and epigenome editing and for site-specific transgene insertion, and stringently characterize their specificity and cellular responses. We will combine these improved technologies with advanced viral and non-viral vectors enabling cell/tissue targeting and immune evasion, to generate prototypes of advanced medicinal products (AMP). The safety and efficacy profile of each AMP will be stringently validated in tissues (hematopoiesis, heart and skeletal muscle, liver, retina) and disease models (muscle wasting, storage and blood disorders, hypercholesterolemia) paradigmatic for unmet medical need and potential long-term cure, if the limitations of current gene therapy strategies are overcome. These AMPs represent versatile

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'HEterodyne RefraCtive index sensor Using photonic crystal LaSers' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

In the HERCULES project, we will improve the refractive index detection limit by 3 orders of magnitude relative to the state of the art, by implementing an on-chip optical heterodyne measurement using one of the brand-new semiconductor lasers developed during the DANCER starting grant. The detection limit (DL) is the key measure of the performance of a RI sensor and determines the smallest change in refractive index that a sensor can detect. The DL is a function of the RI sensitivity, which is the magnitude in shift of the resonant wavelength versus the change in RI of the sample, and of the sensor resolution, which characterizes the smallest possible spectral shift that can be accurately measured. The laser uses a resonant mirror comprised of a 1D photonic crystal cavity. Approximately 40% of the mode supported by the 1D PhC exists in the cladding material (in this case, the air or water of the sample) meaning the lasing wavelength is strongly affected by the sample’s refractive index. The linewidth of the laser is on the order of Megahertz which is three orders of magnitude smaller than that of silicon ring resonators typically used for RI sensing.

user: Describe how 'The Polycomb Repression Complex 2 (PRC2): Mechanisms of recruitment and role in tumorigenesis' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

A key to development is the maintenance of various cell identities. Despite identical genome sequence, in a defined organism, cells from different origins will have distinct pattern of gene expression. The chromatin structure plays a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression and contributes to this so-called ""epigenetic information"". Different parameters defined the chromatin structure among which DNA methylation, histone variant incorporation and histone post-translational modifications (PTMs).Polycomb Group proteins (PcG) were identified in Drosophila by mutations that result in segmental transformation and are known to be required for proper development in mammals. It was shown that PcG proteins maintain the repressed state of genes throughout development partly by regulating the chromatin structure. The PcG multi-proteins complex, PRC2, is responsible for the methylation of the lysine 27 on the histone H3. This PTM is supposed to contribute to the recruitment of other PcG proteins that altogether maintain gene repression. How is the PRC2 complex targeted to genes in a cell specific manner? What are the factors required? What is the contribution of non-coding RNA? We will try to answer these questions in the first aim of this proposal.The tumorigenic progression of cells is associated to major rearrangements of chromatin. Not surprisingly, several PcG proteins were found deregulated in cancer. Hence, the PRC2 component Ezh2 is upregulated in many kinds of cancers including prostate and breast cancers. Following the first studies analyzing the function of Ezh2 mostly in cancer cells, it was proposed that Ezh2 could be classified as an oncogene. However recent publications as well as our unpublished results indicate that the function of Ezh2 in tumorigenesis

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Forecasting the recurrence rate of volcanic eruptions'.

assistant: **Concept**

Volcanic eruptions occur with a frequency that is inversely proportional to their magnitude. Datasets of natural volcanic events, currently used to determine the recurrence rate of volcanic eruptions are intrinsically biased. Combining physical modelling of processes with detailed statistical analysis has been demonstrated essential for assessing reliably the recurrence rate of natural hazards, such as floods and earthquakes. This would be the first attempt to apply a similar, integrated approach to explosive volcanic eruptions. The high-gain final target of FEVER is to produce a physically based statistical model able to ForEcast the recurrence rate of Volcanic Eruptions both at regional and global scale. This is the first project of this kind and consequently involves a significant risk. Because 500 million people live in proximity of volcanoes and eruptions have a significant social and economical impact, forecasting the recurrence rate of volcanic eruption remains a great challenge in Science. This project builds on two main directions of my research: a) Thermo-mechanical and statistical modelling targeting the identification of the main physical factors controlling the recurrence rate of volcanic eruptions. We showed that the flux of magma from depth directly controls the magnitude of the largest possible eruptions. Thus, b) we developed a novel method to determine such magma fluxes. These two lines of research combine perfectly in FEVER and will be integrated to answer questions such as: What is the probability of an eruption similar to the Tambora 1815 to occur in the next 100 years on Earth or in Europe? What is the largest physically possible eruption that can occur in Europe?  The high-gain target of FEVER is to mitigate the impact of volcanic eruptions on our

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Enabling the Next-Generation of Computational Physicists and Engineers' (ENGAGE).

assistant: **Innovation**

The program “Enabling the next generation of computational physicists and engineers” (ENGAGE) will train 20 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to use advanced computer technologies and methodologies for scientific discovery and innovation. The Cyprus Institute is the beneficiary of ENGAGE, having established an interdisciplinary PhD program in Computational Sciences. ENGAGE pools together leading experts from major research centers and from some of Europe's best Universities to train the ESRs in high performance computing (HPC), data science approaches such as machine and deep learning (ML), and quantum computing (QC) and to apply them for solving problems from physics and engineering. The ESRs will learn to use mathematical modeling, to design scalable algorithms, to understand computer architectures and the principles of QC, and to use neural and tensor networks to analyze and extract information from large complex data sets obtained in high energy experiments and from synchrotron light facilities. They will experience different research environments via secondments to universities and to experimental and computational facilities as well as to industry. They will be trained to present their results and hold scientific discussions with researchers from different thematic domains, all of whom share common cross-disciplinary competencies in the pursuit of complex problems, which aim to advance our understanding of nature and to lead to innovative applications. The interdisciplinary program ENGAGE combines the expertise of researchers from institutions across Europe, from Cyprus, Greece and Italy to Germany and France as well as from SESAME, the Middle East's only major experimental synchrotron light facility.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Development of an environmental friendly hide preservation process which improves the quality of the raw material, as alternative to the highly contaminant salt curing treatments in the leather industry.' (1998-2002).

assistant: **Concept**

The SME proposers will develop an innovative biocide application system with appropriate properties for the preservation process of hides and skins with the aim of optimising the application conditions of these products during the project development. The conventional methods currently employed for the preservation of fresh hides and skins generate highly contaminants effluents due to their high saline concentration and negatively affect to the quality of the leather. The alternative use of biocides for the preservation of hides, the leather raw material, will be considered in this proposal with the aim of avoiding the aforementioned problems and offering to the leather sector realistic solutions from an environmental and industrial point of view.
