user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Design and Processing of Selectively Reinforced Mg-based Components' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

1. Selection and composition of test specimens and generic component: Continuous alumina fibres were chosen for the reinforcement of Al-alloys, whereas high strength and high modulus C-fibres for Mg-alloys. The alloy AZ91 was selected for the embedding casting. Hybrid samples for shear testing and generic components in the shape of a ring, a flared housing part and a housing hub were designed. 2. Macro- and micro-mechanical investigation of stress distributions: The internal stresses in the different MMC systems were modelled taking into account the ring shape and the macro-interface between MMC insert and unreinforced casting. Thermally induced stresses as well as external loads were considered for these anisotropic materials. 3. Preform design and manufacturing: Preforms of continuous fibres were wound, woven, braided or composed by fabrics. Ceramic short fibres were investigated aiming for compatibility with Mg-melt. 4. MMC-insert processing: The melt infiltration by pressure assisted investment casting, gas pressure infiltration, direct and indirect squeeze casting was adapted to produce the reinforcing inserts with Al and Mg matrix. 5. Shape and surface conditioning of MMC-inserts: Zn- and Sn-rich coatings on the Al-MMC inserts were tested to provide metallurgical bonding with the Mg casting. On the other hand protective anodizing was tried. The macro-interface was investigated with respect to geometry and unreinforced surface layers on the inserts. 6. Adaptation of Mg casting techniques to hybrid production: The hybrid test samples were produced by pressure die casting, indirect and direct squeeze casting. Gas pressure infiltration was scaled up for the one step Mg-hybrid processing technique. The feasibility of Mg investment casting was studied. 7. Material chara

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Aircraft in the future air traffic management system (AFAS)' (AFAS) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Air transport is experiencing a remarkable growth and is expected to maintain and even increase growth rates over the following decades. More than ever, it is indispensable to respond to public demands while maintaining a high level of safety. The project paves the way to a more autonomous aircraft in the future Air Traffic Management System and contributes to improve the Air Traffic as a whole for the benefit of the citizens and the competitiveness of the European Aeronautics Industry. The consortium led by Airbus Industries proposes to determine the operational ATM scenario, select the airborne technologies, develop the avionics package, validate the concept in co-ordination with the ground segment and demonstrate the feasibility of an economical implementation on revenue aircraft. In addition, the human factor aspects as well as the certification issues will be addressed.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'The interpretation of retinal activity by the visual thalamus.' (RETMUS) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Sensory systems of the brain inform cortical centers about the outside world via the thalamus. Despite its central location between the sensory periphery and the primary sensory cortex, the functional role of the thalamus in sensory processing is still largely unknown. Understanding the role of thalamic circuits and their modulation by other brain areas is important for several reasons. First, in order to dissect the functional role of higher brain regions, such as sensory cortical areas, it is critical that we understand what kind of input they receive from the thalamus. The thalamus takes information from several different sensory channels, carrying different sensory features. Whether these features are simply relayed to higher centers, or perhaps recombined into new features in the thalamus, is not known. Second, as a central station in sensory processing, the thalamus is thought to gate behaviorally relevant sensory information. In addition to the input from the sensory periphery, the thalamus receives input from several other brain regions. How these inputs modulate or gate sensory information in vivo is not well understood. Finally, in the case of the visual system, an important unmet medical need is optic nerve degeneration caused by end-stage glaucoma, which leads to blindness. Here the input to thalamus is lost, yet the thalamic and cortical circuits are not severely affected. New methods to reactivate the thalamic neurons by channeling visual information directly to these neurons may help to restore some visual capability after the loss of optic nerve fibers.

user: Describe how 'Network of Science with and for Society National Contact Points' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Science with and for Society has a vital role to play in bringing together a wide range of stakeholders in order to build capacities and develop innovative ways to connect science to society through Responsible Research and Innovation measures. This demands that the Science with and for Society National Contact Points (NCPs) are able to orientate in the wide area of policy behind the programme, its topics and research areas as well as in Horizon 2020 rules and regulations and in addition, they need to have extensive knowledge of the different groups of stakeholders, in order to be able to fulfil their job. The proposal focuses on identifying and sharing good practices and raising the standard of proposals by organising joint activities of NCPs. The consortium ensures a balance of experienced NCPs and newcomers in order to build on knowledge and enhance skills and competences of all NCPs within the programme. This will result in more consistent and improved NCP services which will enhance participation in Science with and for Society calls.

user: Explain how 'Quantum Spin Simulators Based on Defects in Diamond' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Quantum interacting systems lie at the forefront of contemporary physics, posing challenges to our understanding of quantum phases, many-body dynamics, and a variety of condensed matter phenomena. Also, advances in quantum applications, including quantum computation and metrology, rely on interactions to create entanglement and to improve sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit. In particular, the generation of large-scale, many-body entanglement in solid-state systems is a long-standing goal for many applications of quantum science.These outstanding problems attract substantial theoretical attention, leading to the development of remarkable techniques, ranging from renormalization group approaches to exact solutions in certain cases. However, in most cases it is necessary to resort to approximations and perturbative analysis. Thus in recent years tremendous effort has been invested into developing precision experimental tools to simulate many-body Hamiltonians, with realizations so far in cold atomic systems and trapped ions.Here we propose a complementary experimental approach using Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond as a quantum many-body spin simulator. The NV center is an atom-like spin defect in a robust solid, with remarkable optical properties and a long electronic spin coherence lifetime. NV-diamond has been applied successfully to magnetic field sensing and demonstrations of spin-based quantum information processing.The goal of this project is to advance this new paradigm of atomic-like spin defects in the solid state as a simulator for quantum many-body spin systems, offering a platform for creating long-range interactions, quantum spin phases, and quantum computing resources. This approach holds the promise to advance the state-of-the-art b

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'SUSTAINABLE UPCYCLING OF AGRICULTURAL BYPRODUCTS INTO ENHANCED PROTEINS FOR OPTIMAL NUTRITION OF ANIMALS'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Increasing local protein production in the EU is essential to reduce dependence on imported protein sources, improve food security, and support the EU’s sustainability goals under the Green Deal. At Proteine Resources, we developed an efficient method to handle yet unprocessed agricultural byproducts, formally considered waste (a stable side-stream available 365/7) into valuable insect-based products. When properly catered for, the deliberately selected insect species feed on a side-stream, retaining their exceptional nutritional value and delivering protein exceeding 80% of the defatted content. Our solution can be used 1:1 to replace beef in pet food products while being cheaper in production and more sustainable. The high-quality outputs can be used in feeding pets, positively impacting their health and welfare. Also, we tested frass (insect excrement) to be used as fertilizer by side-stream suppliers, demonstrating true circularity. We introduced innovations in insect feed composition and rearing process control with advanced multispectral analysis to autonomize and optimise production resulting in patentable know-how. Our prototype low-capacity working station and results of laboratory tests garnered interest from side-stream suppliers and potential buyers of insect-based products.We intend to enhance our technological solution by refining enabling technologies and developing a first-in-the-world pilot autonomous insect farm module with unparalleled efficiency and sustainability of the production process. The decentralized approach will boost our insect-based production capabilities, positioning us to tap into the €1.29B global market. We are confident that our solution will enhance the EU's strategic autonomy, boost sustainability, and cut CO2 emissions, making a

user: Explain how 'High sensitivity detection and discrimination of gas-phase trace molecules by intra-cavity laser absorption pn a molecular slit jet' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Intra cavity laser absorption spectroscopy (ICLAS) is proposed as a too for in-situ, real-time detection of atmospheric trace molecules (ppb) of medium-large size (benzene, toluene...).  ICLAS allows multiplexed broad-band detection of broad spectral feature with extremely high sensitivity.  Recent progress in solid-state lasers make it possible to build an improved and portable ICLAS spectrometer, possessing a resolution well suited to detection of the first overtone transitions of X-H vibrational modes (X = C, O. N...), in the wavelength range 1-2 micrometers.  In large molecules, the unresolved rotational structure produces an effective broadening which will be partially removed by cooling the sample in a molecular slit-jet. The vibrational structure thus revealed will be used as a molecular 'fingerprint' to allow discrimination of species coexisting in the sample.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Search for high energy neutrino emission from the galactic center' (GC4ICE3) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Main purpose of the IceCube neutrino telescope is to detect high energy neutrinos of astro- physical origin. Within this project we aim to extend the field of view of the instrument to observe the galactic center, which is not in the generic field of view of a neutrino telescope at the South Pole. This can be accomplished by a new data selection, which detects events of particularily high energy or events of low energy starting inside the detector and by the development of new, more sophisticated reconstruction methods. We propose to reintegrate Dr. David J. Boersma, who has previously been employed by the University of Wisconsin (Madison, USA),into the European astro-particle physics community. The IRG funds will be used for the foundation of a junior research group focused on this topic. Dr. Boersma is a key researcher of the IceCube neutrino telescope and expert on the reconstruction software. He has already succesfully conducted a similar analysis focused on the detection of the shadow of the Moon in underground cosmic rays muons.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Brain health in Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular risk in mid-life, a PESA-Brain project'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This project aims to investigate the early associations between cardiovascular health and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology, with a focus on subclinical atherosclerosis (SCAth) and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), in a large cohort of asymptomatic, middle-aged individuals. The overarching objective is to determine how cardiovascular health in subclinical stages influences both cerebrovascular integrity and early AD biomarkers, and to examine how these factors contribute to cognitive decline, with particular emphasis on sex-specific differences.The proposed research leverages data from the PESA-Brain study, a deeply phenotyped cohort integrating advanced neuroimaging and cognitive testing, with longitudinal cardiovascular and blood-based biomarkers assessments. We will first test the relationships between cardiovascular health markers and cerebrovascular health, focusing on brain perfusion, microstructure, and microinfarcts. We will then explore the links between cardiovascular health and AD pathology, using plasma and brain amyloid and tau biomarkers, as well as cognitive outcomes, including memory and executive function.The project will employ advanced statistical approaches, such as linear mixed models and mediation analysis, to handle the complexity of multimodal data and examine causal relationships between cardiovascular health, brain pathology, and cognition. By including sex-stratified analyses, the research will provide critical insights into gender-specific susceptibilities, which have been underexplored in previous studies.The relevance of this project to the work programme lies in its potential to shift the focus of AD prevention to midlife, offering novel insights into the neurobiological pathways that link cardiovascular dysfunction and neurodegenerati

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Polynuclear Gold Catalysis', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

During the last decade, homogeneous gold catalysis has witnessed rapid growth for C–C bond forming reactions mainly due to the soft carbophilic Lewis acid properties of gold complexes toward C–C triple bonds. Compared to Lewis acids and other transition metals, gold catalysts are very active under mild conditions, can tolerate moisture and oxygen and are compatible with diverse functional groups. Gold catalyzed tandem and multi-component reactions allow the efficient transformation of simple starting materials in complex molecules, which have been used for the synthesis of numerous biologically active targets. GOLDCLUSTER aims at advancing the field of gold chemistry by the development of new superelectrophilic small gold (I) clusters (Au3, Au6 and Au8). These complexes will be used as catalysts in the retro-Büchner reactions of cycloheptatrienes to form in situ gold carbenes, leading to the formation of complex molecules using milder conditions (lower reaction temperature, more efficient catalysts, and better yields). In addition, the new catalysts will also be tested in the catalytic activation of small molecules, such as methane. GOLDCLUSTER will contribute greatly to the advancement of gold chemistry by exploring new directions in the area and providing new tools to further enhance the development of efficient synthetic methods that could be later adapted by the Chemical Industry, making the European economy more competitive and better aligned with the Horizon2020 growth strategy.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Research and Innovation Futures 2030: From explorative to transformative scenarios', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The RIF project aims to a) systematize knowledge on emerging patterns, trends and drivers of change in ways of doing and organising research in our knowledge societies, b) provide an outlook on future pathways for STI systems and practices by way of scenarios, c) assess and identify key issues of the scenarios against the background of the emerging European Research Area, and) to establish a dialogue on future perspectives for STI in order to identify strategic options and opportunities for action.RIF focuses on the dynamics of change resulting from the interplay of developments inside and outside of STI systems. It is based on the assumption that current trends will give rise to certain tensions and dilemmas which may be resolved within the constraints of current institutional settings, or else through substantial transformation of STI systems and practices.The project will set out from a comprehensive stocktaking of European and international forward-looking activities, and an analysis of academic literature on emerging new modes of doing and organising research. This serves as the basis for a two-stage interactive scenario process. At first explorative scenarios with a time horizon of 2020 will be developed based on exploration of current trends and drivers within the constraints of today’s STI framework. These scenarios will point towards key critical junctures in ways of doing and organising research. The second phase will generate long-term transformative scenarios towards 2030 that may incorporate significant structural and institutional changes in STI systems and practices. In a series of tailored interactive workshops the scenarios’ implications for key policy objectives will be assessed and strategic options for different actors and stakeholders explored. RIF
