user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Innovative Large-Scale Production of Affordable Clean Burning Solid Biofuel and Water in Southern Africa: transforming bush encroachment from a problem into a secure and sustainable energy source' (SteamBioAfrica), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

We will adapt, tailor, and advance the results from the Horizon 2020 project SteamBio (Grant agreement 636865). SteamBio demonstrated innovative continuous Superheated Steam processing of agro-forestry biomass into clean burning solid biofuel. This was recognised by the EU Innovation Radar as a market ready innovation with three SMEs identified as key innovators, bringing these innovations to SteamBioAfrica. Across Southern Africa invasive encroachment by bush and other woody species, aggravated by climate change, is creating environmental, social, and economic damage. We will demonstrate superheated steam processing of invasive woody biomass into clean burning biofuel and water in rural Namibia. Operating at an industrially relevant scale (250kg/hour throughput) for over one year, we will validate this biofuel with domestic and industrial customers in Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa. We will prepare sustainable and inclusive business plans to justify post project investment in large scale replication that will result in economic impact, and jobs across the region.Our objectives will be to validate this superheated steam biomass processing as a viable and sustainable source of large scale, clean burning, secure and affordable energy across Southern Africa. We will confirm market acceptance and ensure that it creates greater value than the cost of harvesting and processing. Quantifying over five different market opportunities, we will create a plan for post project exploitation that will stimulate bush harvesting and reverse encroachment. This will lead to long term socio-economic and environmental benefit across the region. SteamBioAfrica will enable large scale, clean, secure, and affordable energy in Africa. It addresses multiple challenges facing Southern Africa,

user: Describe how 'European Social Survey Infrastructure - Improving Social Measurement in Europe' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The European Social Survey (ESS) was set up in 2001 having been initiated by the European Science Foundation (ESF). Its design and co-ordination over three biennial rounds has been supported by the Commission under three separate Calls. A time series, the ESSs main aims are - to provide reliable data on attitude change within Europe, to improve the rigour of European quantitative measurements, and to promote the adoption of attitudinal indicators of societal progress. The aim of this infastructure is to improve, expand and integrate the diverse networks and infrastructures already involved in the ESS, providing wider access to its data and protocols, and to achieve a sustained improvement in European quantitative social science. The importance of this project is that an integrated Europe depends on consistently high standards of social measurement within and between its member nations. Indeed, a stated ambition of the ERA is for the EU to lead the world in research excellence. Now that the ESS has led the way in rigorous standards of research, this infastructure iniative aims to ensure the routine achievement of such standards and to demonstrate the utility of high quality cross-cultural data to the causes of academia and better governance. The infrastructure at the heart of the project, on which we wish to build, is the considerable body of data in the ESS Archives, together with the well-structured organisation of scholars and practitioners closely engaged in the enterprise. It is an ideal launch pad for knowledge transfer, training and methodological advance, and the considerable investment in the ESS by some 25 European funding bodies needs to obtain appropriate dividends. Such returns depend on this infastructure iniative to improve, sustain and integrate the range

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Tailoring Organic-Inorganic Layered Structures to Build Functional Graded 2D Nanomaterials for Advanced Nanointerfaces', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Advanced functional devices require integration of distinct materials (polymers, ceramics, metals) with different properties to achieve high performance in aerospace, biomedicine, electronic, and automotive. A major structural challenge is associated with localized (mechanical, thermal, electrical) stresses due to property mismatch at different scales, thus causing premature malfunction and failure. Research has focussed on compositional or structural material gradients (in at least one spatial direction) to enable fabrication of in-one body parts (mostly inorganics) with exceptional properties. Examples at rather macroscale include AlGaAs with graded bandgap for solar cells, or Al2O3/Ti with graded mechanical stiffness for bioimplants. However, in light of miniaturization technology, there is a need to translate this concept to nanomaterials. The EVA project aims to establish scientific principles to design and fabricate pioneering organic-inorganic 2D layered nanomaterials with functional gradients and continuous interfaces. My approach to designing such innovative nanomaterials is based on their compositional engineering by using correlations to perform an extended mapping of combinations and properties. I will explore self-assembly techniques in solution and translate them into automated processes to hierarchically build robust components with nm-layered thicknesses and mechanical and optoelectronic gradients. EVA will also demonstrate their use as advanced interfaces for soft bio-tissue coupling and flexible lighting nanosystems, providing answers from the nanoscale to key drivers in these fields: reliability, robustness, and durability. Through this interdisciplinary approach (physics, chemistry, mechanics, biology, and materials science), the envisioned atomicall

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Deployment of Brain-Computer Interfaces for the Detection of Consciousness in Non-Responsive Patients' (DECODER) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The deployment of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) for non-responsive patients will provide access to modern information and communication technology such as internet, personal computer or home appliances when only a single response of a person is available. In this extreme case, no current assistive technology can help the patient interact with the environment. This situation poses serious ethical issues, since medical treatment can prolong the patients' life, but leave them in a state of unacceptable quality of life.DECODER will develop a BCI into single-switch based systems to practically enhance inclusion of patients who are otherwise only little or not at all able to interact with their environment and share ICT. This achievement will move on from the improvement of three components of state-of-the-art BCIs, i.e. signal acquisition (input), signal classification and signal translation (output) and adapt them to the specificities of non-responsive patients such as low arousal, short attention span, and altered electrical activity of the brain. A forth component is the application; existing assistive technology will be adapted to a single-switch control.  Besides classic EEG paradigms near-infrared spectroscopy will be used for signal acquisition due to its higher spatial resolution.  Potential and automated software will identify the best signal for each user and will optimize signal translation.Prior to providing such patients with ICT an unequivocal diagnosis is of utmost importance to define the most appropriate rehabilitation strategy and most suitable supportive technology for interaction. A hierarchical diagnostic approach starting with simple presentation of stimuli to intentional control of BCI will be developed, validated and disseminated.By implementing exi

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Plotting the material flows of commonplace Late Bronze Age Seals in Western Eurasia' (PLOMAT) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of PLOMAT, an innovative project on Commonplace Seals of Late Bronze Age Western Eurasia, is to offer new perspectives on the study of non-élite populations and the small-scale networks that operated at a time of art internationalization in the ancient world. PLOMAT will map the flows of materials and ideas in the Late Bronze Age by studying cylinder seals, which were an important and widely used class of object. Combining Digital Humanities and scientific material analysis with innovative archaeological and art historical theories, it will study for the first time the production and consumption of ‘commonplace’ cylinder seals in mid-second millennium BCE, which spread over a wide area from the Eastern Mediterranean to Central Western Asia. Seemingly produced en-masse on ‘low-cost’ materials, these artefacts represent an ideal subject for studying the flow of ideas across large areas in the ancient world. By developing and implementing novel computational methods and material analysis, and engaging with a bottom-up social archaeological approach, it will chart movements of people and ideas throughout East and West, provide for the first time a clear large volume of material analysis characterization, explore the appropriation and/or rejection of Mesopotamian material and visual culture and unveil elements of non-élite history of the region and its peoples. In addition to numerous essential transferable skills invaluable to the future world-class researcher and academic, PLOMAT will provide training in GIS and spatial analysis, exploratory multivariate statistics and X-ray fluorescence analysis of materials using Bruker Portable XRF Spectrometers.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Reversibility and tissue specificity of mitochondrial translation defects in early childhood' (REVERSIBLECOX) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

We have recently identified the molecular genetic cause of a puzzling clinical syndrome, initially termed “benign infantile mitochondrial myopathy due to reversible cytochrome c oxidase (COX) deficiency”. While childhood-onset mitochondrial encephalomyopathies are usually severe, relentlessly progressive conditions with fatal outcome, this syndrome stands out by showing complete (or almost complete) spontaneous recovery. We have detected the homoplasmic m.14674T>C mutation in the mitochondrial mt-tRNAGlu gene in 17 affected individuals from 12 independent families of different ethnic origins. The m.14674T>C mutation affects the discriminator base of mt-tRNAGlu, the last base at the 3´-end of the molecule, where the amino acid via the terminal CCA is attached, therefore thought to impair mitochondrial translation, as reflected by the COX-negative fibres and the multiple respiratory chain defects in skeletal muscle. The spontaneous recovery of the patients suggests the existence of so far unknown cellular compensatory mechanisms.We will investigate, i) why patients with reversible COX deficiency show an isolated muscle involvement, ii) why symptoms start uniformly in the first days or weeks of life, iii) what is the molecular basis of the age-dependent, spontaneous recovery, and iv) which factors influence mitochondrial protein synthesis in human cells, skeletal muscle and different tissues. We will study these factors in v) different types of mitochondrial disease.From a scientific standpoint, this is one of the few hereditary conditions with a life-threatening onset showing recovery. Finding a clearly pathogenic homoplasmic mtDNA mutation offers a new paradigm of mtDNA pathogenesis, and studying this unique disease may unveil factors that are important in other mitochon

user: Explain how 'WORKING ON THE FRINGES: Immigrant businesses, economic integration and informal practices' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Summary -Immigrant businesses are crucial economic nodes in social networks of immigrants linking production and consumers in concrete organisational and spatial ways. These immigrant businesses can also be seen as potential primary nodes of informal activities. As in the wider economy, informal economic activity may sometimes involve criminal activities. The aim of the project is to create an innovative, multi-disciplinary trans-EU network. This network will focus on informal economic activities of immigrants as they may have significant implications for the process of socio-economic integration and, thus, of the social cohesion of the societies within the EU. - Immigrant businesses engaged in informal economic activities are, on the one hand, in breach of the law, but, on the other, they may provide immigrants with better economic opportunities. Policy makers, therefore, have a dilemma. - The international network will compare informal economic activities by taking immigrant entrepreneurship as the strategic starting point. The project entails a comparison of the role of immigrant businesses in the underground economy as well as an assessment and evaluation of rules and regulations and existing policy approaches related to informal and criminal economic activities in European Union member states and an affiliated member. The following objectives will be addressed: - How has immigrant entrepreneurship evolved in the last two decades and what are the structural determinants of the observed trends in the selected countrie - What kind of profiles of informal economic activities do the immigrant entrepreneurs display? How are they related to activities in the mainstream economy on the one hand, and, on the other, to the regulatory framework (in particular the welfare state

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'COMPA - Market Study of Composite Patch Repair for Marine Pipes A cost-efficient and durable pipe repair in urgency'.

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of the overall innovation project is to commercialise the service of composite patch (COMPA) repair for damaged ship pipes. COMPA pipe repair is a cost-effective alternative to the traditional method of repair of crack and corrosion damages in ship structures and pipes that occur frequently on various types of vessels. Total economic benefits of a COMPA repair over traditional methods are considerable. considering total savings, costs of COMPA are estimated to be up to 10 times lower than the costs of traditional methods of repair by steel cutting-welding-inserting. Additional advantages of the technology are reduced total repair costs, exclusion of flame, applicability to complex structures, shorter repair time, lower added weight and reduced maintenance. COMPA repair can thus support competitiveness of the ship repair sector in Europe.The total market for the repair is composed of 87.000 vessels world-wide, of 5 years of age and more, each experiencing hundreds of crack and corrosion damages on a yearly basis. The primary market of the vessels operating in European waters is about 35% of the total number. Considering Technology Readiness Level, COMPA pipe repair is at TRL8 as it has been proven in operational environment in 12 applications on-board vessels as a useful and reliable solution for pipe corrosion and crack problems. The specific SME Instrument Phase 1 project aims to conduct a market study of implementation of COMPA repair in order to advance its commercialisation. The market study will specify primary customer segments and specific customers, and will define best ways of approaching these. It will map out a process to go further to speed up the commercialisation process.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Developing Action Competence for Insect Preservation' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The proposed research project ""Developing Action Competence for Insect Preservation"" (DACIP) approaches the current problem of insect decline from an educational perspective using methods of Educational Design Research (EDR). The research project aims to (i) improve theoretical understanding of citizens’ readiness to take action against insect decline and (ii) to design and investigate options to raise citizens' abilities to preserve insects. To achieve these aims, a novel theoretical framework - Action Competence for Insect Preservation (ACIP) - will be developed in a first step. In a second step, this framework is used for developing novel quantitative and qualitative research instruments to investigate citizens' abilities to preserve insects and for designing innovative educational interventions to raise citizens’ ACIP. These interventions will include wildlife gardening and citizen science as core elements. In a third step, the effectiveness of these interventions will be assessed: For this assessment, the designed interventions will be implemented at compulsory schools in Karlstad (grade 7). The change of ACIP will be assessed in a pre-post-design with 500 students, comparing the intervention group with a control group using the new quantitative and qualitative instruments. Consequently, the proposed research project provides three important benefits: a) The new framework (ACIP) builds a foundation for the development of conservation initiatives addressing citizens effectively b) The new instruments make it possible to investigate citizens'  abilities in preserving insects: This can be used to assess the effectiveness of initiatives focusing on insect preservation, which can boost the effectiveness of such iniatives by enabling targeted improvements. c) The desig

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Transport Properties of Emergent Edge States in  Interacting Topological Superconductors'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Topological superconductors are known to harbor Majorana bound states at their boundaries and inside vortex cores. Their non local properties and non-Abelian exchange statistics make Majorana bound states potential candidates in fault tolerant quantum computational schemes. Recently it has been pointed out that interacting topological superconductors support even more exotic non-Abelian excitations, that may allow to perform universal quantum computation in a manner that is inherently protected against common sources of decoherence. However, the setups that have been proposed to reveal these interacting topological phases are hard to realize experimentally. The theoretical research outlined in this proposal is expected to identify new experimental realizations of interacting topological superconductors, to establish the unique properties of their emergent end states and the way in which they manifest in experiments, in order to facilitate their detection. The novel approach that lies at the foundation of this proposal is the study of an open interacting system by coupling it to external leads, and the use of scattering theory of the open system to establish its topological classification. If successful, this research may single out the most promising experimental setup that supports fractional non-Abelian end states, thus constituting an important leap forward in the strive to implement topologically protected quantum computation.
