user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Vulnerable Road Users: Detailed Geometry and Finite element models for impact conditions' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Finite Element (FE) models of the human body have become essential research tools in the automotive safety field. They can be used in addition to the crash test dummies to evaluate the risk of injury during motor vehicle accidents and may be part of future regulations. There has been limited research related to Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) such as pedestrians, cyclist and motorcyclist as most existing FE models target the automotive occupant. The development of VRU models can benefit from the research effort on the occupant, in particular since the material properties of biological tissues do not depend on posture. However, it also requires specific geometrical and validation data. This proposal focuses on the geometrical aspects of the problem. Existing geometrical data available for FE modelling is mostly derived from post-mortem human subjects lying down on a flat surface. This can generate important artefacts when modelling humans in other postures as the geometry of the internal organs may be affected by the posture, gravity, and tissue changes after death. The aims of this project are to (1) collect geometrical data on the internal anatomy of human volunteers in standing, seating and riding positions (2) quantify the effects of the posture on the internal geometry (3) combine the data with the existing HUMOS2 model to develop geometrically improved VRU models. The data will be collected using a recently available non invasive imaging technique: open vertical MRI. This research will stimulate the development of VRU models and help understanding model positioning issues. The imaging data will be made available in the European Biomechanical Database as it can be useful for the development of other models and for the validation of model positioning procedures.""

user: Explain how 'Sustainable wood / new clean technology methods for the control of fungal stains in wood' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Forest product industry has an important role in the European economy due to efficient exploitation of raw material resources, employment and rural development. The use of wood as building, furniture and package material is based on its advantageous ecological, technical and aesthetical properties. Deterioration of wood is, however, caused by the action of microorganisms, causing both rotting and discolouration of wood products during production and service. The discolouration of timber by staining fungi is a severe problem resulting significant economical lossses. The discolouration can be prevented by using environmentally harmful chlorophenols. Targeted biological and novel clean technology chemical methods offer new types of techniques to protect wooden material against fungal deterioration. These methods could be applied either to prevent fungal growth and pigment formation or to decolour stains in wooden material. This European project aims to gathering high-level technical and scientifical expertise and industry working in the field of antisapstain products to elaborate novel solutions for the wood protection and remedial treatments against staining fungi. The main objectives of the project are to clarify the fundamental key factors affecting fungal colonization and pigment formation, and to exploit the biochemical data obtained designing new, targeted and environmentally safe biological and chemical prevention concepts. Economical and technical feasibility studies of novel clean technology treatments will be performed in order to evaluate the marketing potential.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Re-creation and building of capacities in Georgian ICT Research Institutes' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

GEO-RECAP will support Georgia in significantly enhancing the cooperation capacities of its leading ICT research centers, namely two Institutes of Georgian Technical University (GTU):GTU- MICM and GTU- IC). The project’s central goal is to initiate and significantly increase scientific cooperation between the ERA and both  GTU-MICM and GTU-IC. This goal comprises the following specific objectives:• O.1: To conduct a series of targeted networking events between members of the Georgian research institutes and key partners of the ERA to facilitate the formation of new cooperations and partnerships relevant to FP7.• O.2: To provide comprehensive practical and theoretical training to members of the Georgian research institutes to develop/enhance their skills and competences with regard to acquiring and participating in FP7 projects (including proposal writing, IPR, EU project and contract management etc.).• O.3: To develop a sustainable strategy for increasing the research centre’s regional coverage and to improve its response to the existing socio-economic conditions.The strategy will be developed by means of a comprehensive SWOT analysis carried out both at GTU-MICM and GTU-IC.What makes GEO-RECAP special is the means by which it is implemented: Rather than just conducting a series of networking and training events and suggesting a strategy for further development, GEO-RECAP will be designed as a practical “training-on-the-job” and supported “learning-by-doing” action that will really empower the Georgian research centres by allowing them not only to learn but also put into practice everything that is relevant to sustaining themselves and actively integrating themselves into the international research community.Last but not least, to ensure optimal suitability, all capacit

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'GOAL Based Damage Stability'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The new probabilistic damage stability regulations for dry cargo and passenger ships (SOLAS 2009), which entered into force on January 1, 2009, represent a major step forward in achieving an improved safety standard through the rationalization and harmonization of damage stability requirements. There are, however, serious concerns regarding the adopted formulation for the calculation of the survival probability of ROPAX and mega cruise vessels; thus ultimately of the Attained and Required Subdivision Indices for passenger ships. Furthermore, present damage stability regulations account only for collision damages, despite the fact that accidents statistics, particularly of passenger ships, indicate the profound importance of grounding accidents.The proposed research project addresses the above issues by:Improving and extending the formulation introduced by MSC 216 (82) for the assessment of the probability of survival of ROPAX and mega cruise ships in damaged condition, based on extensive use of numerical simulations.Performing comprehensive model testing to investigate the process of ship stability deterioration in damaged condition and to provide the required basis for the validation of the numerical simulation results.Elaborating damage statistics and probability functions for the damage location, length, breadth and penetration in case of a collision / grounding accident, based on a thorough review of available information regarding these accidents over the past 30-60 years worldwide.Formulating a new probabilistic damage stability concept for ROPAX and cruise ships, incorporating collision and grounding damages, along with an improved method for calculation of the survival probability.Establishing new risk-based damage stability requirements of ROPAX and cruise vess

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Development of the implementation modalities for the establishment of a new externalised Exploratory Awards scheme for SMEs' to be submitted under FP7.

assistant: **Abstract**

The European Commission has decided to experiment under FP7 a new approach for an Exploratory Awards (EA) scheme for a limited period. As a first approach, the general aim of this EA scheme is to provide financial support to SMEs and SMEs Associations in order to submit better prepared proposals for actions under “Research for the benefit of SMEs”.The general idea of the present proposal is to identify all issues in order to implement new mechanisms of EA, targeting SMEs in FP7 Capacity Work Program. The new mechanism(s) to be developped will provide additionality to the National/Regional existing schemes, and target both countries with and without existing schemes. This “FP7 SMEs EA scheme” coordinated by OSEO innovation gathers 26 partners from 24 countries, working together during seven months on the project built on  4 steps approach, defined in the proposal 4 Work Packages. As a main deliverable, the “FP7 SMEs EA scheme” proposal will provide the European Commission with an implementation action plan, including one or several pilot funding schemes with an appropriate needed budget and a specification for the most appropriate management organisation at European level. The outputs provided by participants and associated experts, will result in an added –value roadmap for an optimised and cost-efficient implementation of the possible EA scheme.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Protect butterflies across Europe through climate refugia' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Biodiversity is the essential foundation that supports prosperous human societies. Yet, current rates of human-driven changes in climate and habitats define the Anthropocene as one of the most catastrophic times for species on our planet. Reversing declines in pollinator insects, a necessary component of healthy and productive ecosystems, is a priority in the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and Pollinators Initiative. Yet, several gaps remain in our understanding of the ecology and distributions of these taxa, particularly in relation to future climatic conditions.PROBAE (PROtect Butterflies Across Europe through climate refugia) defines a novel framework to identify areas of conservation priority for pollinator insects across Europe, focussing on butterflies and climate change refugia, i.e., areas that will increase the likelihood of species’ persistence in future climatic conditions. I will use extensive spatio-temporal data on the distribution of European butterflies and novel modelling approaches to: (i) identify high-resolution hotspots of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity by integrating expert maps and monitoring data; (ii) assess if forests can increase the persistence of threatened butterflies in the face of climate change; (iii) determine which areas should be prioritized to protect climate change refugia across the EU.PROBAE synthesizes concepts from population ecology, biogeography, biodiversity science, and conservation planning. By developing this innovative project, I will train skills that will allow me to establish as an independent researcher (e.g., Bayesian hierarchical modelling, conservation biogeography, analysis of big data), while networking with leading experts in the fields of landscape ecology, macroecology, and global change

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Dioxin analysis by using comprehensive gas chromatography (DIAC)' in the context of a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

During the recent Belgian dioxin crisis the need for a reliable and less expensive method for dioxin analyses than gas chromatography (GC) and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was repeatedly mentioned. Such a method is even more desirable when European standards will be set for dioxins in fish and food in the near future. The DIAC proposal, therefore, focuses on the development of an alternative less expensive method, using comprehensive gas chromatography (GCxGC) with ECD detection. The main aim of the project is to develop a GCxGC-ECD procedure for the quantitative analysis of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in food and environmental matrices, and results will be compared with GC-HRMS results. The proposed method will be a valuable tool in the anti-fraud policy of the EU as regards illegal dioxin disposals in foodstuffs and motor oil. Dissemination of knowledge will be by a workshop for dioxin users, scientific papers, and a website.

user: Explain how 'SUSTAINABLE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY BUSINESS MODEL FOR TOWELS WITH MULTIPLE LIFES USING A TAKE-BACK SYSTEM' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Fitness centers need to replace about 80%Fitness centers need to replace about 80% of all towels they have in stock every year which costs both replacement and waste management. ARPE’s innovation is a game-changer business model integrating the life management of towels in fitness centers and other collectivities using a circular economy approach for delivering multiple life to the product and multiple economic valorization:-Production and sale of polyester microfiber towels for collectivities (SALE)-Recover those towels at the end of their life for recycling (TAKE-BACK)-Refurbish the towel into a new product for other sectors (SALE)-Potential for recycling the second product to fiber level and go back to fresh towel production (CIRCULAR RECYCLE) ARPE made a first demonstration with key stakeholders with 100 kg of end-of-life towels to turn them into 2500+ cleaning cloths. Based on the first tests, we estimate a total European market in the order of 48 million towels a year or the equivalent of 98 million € for the primary market (towel sales). When taking into account the circularity of the process (taking back the initial product and refurbishing into a second product) the market potential is almost doubled to 176 million €.We plan to assess the feasibility for the scale up of the ARPE-CIRCULAR-TOWEL model and its evolution from a product sale towards a “servitization” or towels-as-a-service business model.The ARPE-CIRCULAR-TOWEL model will actively contribute to a more sustainable industrial production with reduced CO2 emissions, reduced water consumption and cost savings for all involved stakeholders and customers. During the first 5 years of commercial exploitation we estimate total accumulated sales of 15.7M€ and accumulated profits of over 5.9M€. For that, ARPE w

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Neutron-rich, EXotic, heavy nuclei produced in multi-nucleon Transfer reactions'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The heaviest element which has been found in nature is uranium with 92 protons. So far, the elements up to atomic number 118 (oganesson) have been discovered in the laboratory. All transuranium elements are radioactive and their production rates decrease with increasing number of protons. An Island of Stability, where the nuclei have relatively long half-lives, is predicted at the neutron number 182 and, depending on the theoretical model, at the proton number 114, 120 or 126. Current experimental techniques do not allow to go so far to the neutron-rich side close to the Island of Stability.The observation of gravitational waves as well as electromagnetic waves originating from a neutron star merger has been published on October 16, 2017 and is a first proof of the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements in the r-process. It still remains an open question if superheavy nuclei have been formed in our universe. To answer these questions, we need insight into the nuclear properties of the heaviest elements and how these properties evolve when one moves toward to the neutron-rich side on the nuclear chart.In the NEXT project, I will set out to discover new, Neutron-rich, EXotic heavy nuclei using multi-nucleon Transfer reactions. I will measure their masses and, thus, pin down the ground state properties of these nuclei. These studies provide insight into the evolution of nuclear shells in the heavy element region. Furthermore, I will measure the fission half-lives of these isotopes. In order to realize the NEXT project, I will built a novel spectrometer, which is a combination of a solenoid separator and Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer.The broad experience in heavy element research and mass measurements that I have acquired over the years, and the unique infras

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Promoting and implementing joint programming to reinforce transnational research at the crossroad between biodiversity and climate change'.

assistant: **Concept**

The biodiversity-climate change interaction is strong, bi-directional, and often positive (actions in favour of one are also beneficial to the other). While the main drivers of biodiversity loss are habitat degradation, the syndrome of factors directly & indirectly associated with climate change is the dominant threat to biodiversity. It is therefore imperative to understand with sufficient detail and confidence the interactions between biodiversity & climate change so they can be incorporated into decision-support models & tools. By networking 36 funding agencies from 25 countries from Europe & other continents, BiodivClim aims to promote coordinated international research on biodiversity & climate change in all environments, incl. agricultural areas. It will strengthen research & research programmes coordination with the ultimate aim to provide policy makers & other stakeholders with adequate knowledge, tools & practical solutions to improve the conservation & sustainable use of biodiversity & ecosystems under a changing climate. The BiodivClim objectives are to: -Coordinate the research agendas of major European & international research funders to agree on shared research priorities related to biodiversity & climate change -Reinforce collaboration with other relevant initiatives in the field to increase synergies & avoid fragmentation -Design & implement a joint co-funded call for research proposals and a knowledge hub in this field  -Promote research collaboration across national borders & disciplines in order to build capacity, exchange best practices & have a lasting effect on the international research community & landscape -Support dialogue & collaboration between academia & stakeholders, and stakeholder engagement in research projects in order to increase the i

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Small scale combined heat and power using renewable fuels'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective is to develop technically and commercially vile small (5 to 400 kWe) CHP plants involving a gas turbine fired directly by a pressurized biomass-fuelled cyclone combustor. Direct-fired systems avoid the complexity and cost of sophisticated heat exchangers and offer a strong opportunity for commercial exploitation. Use of the more benign fuels should remove the need for an intermediate gasification stage with its attendant capital and operating costs.The project brings together low cost turbocharger-based gas turbines and high speed brushless alternators with state-of-the-art combustor technology, and advances it with the aid of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling so that the gas stream entering the turbine will be controlled with regard to particulate deposition, erosion and corrosion (DEC) potential. An experimental facility of out 250 kWe will be developed to research and establish the DEC, performance, environmental and control parameters for a realistic range of biomass fuels, define allowable operating temperatures (and hence efficiencies) and establish the design specification for a pre-production prototype unit which will have a target generating cost of 0.06 ECU/kWh and a capital cost of 1500 ECU/kWe. Environmental factors are expected to be positive.Gas turbines have a number of intrinsic advantages over diesels, with lower maintenance costs, compactness, reduced sensitivity to the physical form of the fuel and higher quality exhaust heat. The engine will be designed with an inlet temperature and pressure ratio optimised for biomass conversion, avoiding the high cost and performance penalties associated with aerospace gas turbine adaptations.The consortium combines a group of organisations with a wide range of bio-fuel production, manufact
