user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Enabling X-ray CT based Industry 4.0 process chains by training Next Generation research experts'.

assistant: **Innovation**

First-time-right and zero-defect manufacturing of customized lot-size-one products are essential elements of the Industry 4.0 paradigm shift to reinforce Europe’s global leadership in manufacturing. X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) metrology has a key role to play in this transition, since it is the only known technology that can certify non-destructively the quality of internal complex structures, such as those produced by additive manufacturing or found in assemblies. However, CT largely remains an off-line technology, due to the unsolved trade-off between scan speed and scan quality, and the need for extensive expert user input. xCTing will therefore focus on significantly increasing autonomy, robustness and speed in CT metrology in order to support its transition towards a fully in-line quality assurance technology as required in Industry 4.0 environments. Meeting these challenges requires the integration of a broad range of interdisciplinary expertise, including physics, manufacturing, dimensional metrology, machine learning, as well as efficient and reliable big data analytics and visualization. In order to achieve the envisaged innovation breakthrough in the European industry, Europe is in dire need of young innovators who can combine this variety of competences with entrepreneurial skills. The xCTing project is a pan-European industrial-academic initiative committed to provide the unique and encompassing training environment required to foster this new generation of innovation-minded research engineers, that will act as catalysts in the further transformation of Europe’s manufacturing industry towards global technological leadership. The overall aim of the xCTing project is to train 15 young and promising researchers (ESRs) that will take the lead in conceiving th

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Indirect Excitons:  Fundamental Physics and Applications' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Indirect excitons are bosonic quasi-particles in semiconductors with unique properties: they have long lifetime and spin-relaxation time, can travel over large distances before recombination, can be cooled down to low temperatures and form a quantum gas, and can be controlled by voltage in-situ. Due to these properties, they form a model system both for the studies of fundamental properties of light and matter and for the development of conceptually new excitonic devices.Our consortium is composed of 9 strong academic groups in Europe and USA, supported by 4 industrial partners. It brings together the critical mass of the human resources, research expertise, experience, and facilities required to achieve a decisive breakthrough in the interdisciplinary field of indirect excitons, on the boundary of electronics, optics, photonics, and spintronics.We propose to explore the potential of indirect excitons (1) for the studies of fundamental physics of cold bosons in solid state materials, (2) for the development of novel principles for optoelectronic devices, and (3) for the training of a new generation of researchers. We propose a multidisciplinary training program aimed at formation of young researchers with solid background in physics of light-matter coupling and quantum effects in solid state, experts in excitonic systems able to design, process, and optimize the future excitonic devices for practical applications. The training in academic institutes will be combined with secondments to the major optoelectronic industries.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Multidrug resistant tuberculosis: risk factors and the application of innovative techniques for the rapid identification of resistances'.

assistant: **Concept**

To develop rapid, culture-independent tests for the prediction of drug resistances by PCR-amplification and characterizations of specific mutations within drug resistance-associated target genesTo assess risk factors contributing to MDR-TB in a case-control studyUntil recently, the problem of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Europe was considered to be negligible, but recent data are indicative of a significant rise of MDR-TB. Several European countries might have reached a turning point of a previously benign situation. Recently, the first major MDR-TB outbreak in Europe was observed in Spain. The situation is aggravated by the uncertainty of risk factors leading to MDR-TB as well as by the long time needed for the identification of MDR by conventional techniques. To take remedial action, this project will develop rapid, culture-independent tests for the prediction of drug resistances by PCR-amplification and characterizations of specific mutations within drug resistance-associated target genes and assess risk factors contributing to MDR-TB in a case-control study.Nested PCR protocols will be applied to amplify directly from sputum samples the drug-resistance associated target genes rpoB, inhA, katG, rrs, rpsL, 23S and gyrA which are involved in resistances to rifampicin, isoniazid, streptomycin, macrolids and fluoroquinolones. Amplification products will be directly sequenced as is already done with the PCR products from cultures. Faster mutation detection techniques - single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), if located on a restriction site - will be tested to replace sequencing of the product as this is usually beyond the scope of a clinical diagnostic laboratory.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'A new integrated geophysical approach for the rational management and exploration of groundwater resources' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

The main objectives are as follows:The development and testing of a flexible, high resolution, integrated geophysical work package which can be used for the solution of water exploration or management problems in complex hydrogeological settings such as are found in the Mediterranean coastal region. In practical terms this means establishing improved methods of sitting productive boreholes, thereby reducing exploration costs for new groundwater reserves, and to research the capabilities of non-invasive methods for monitoring and managing at risk" aquifers of the Mediterranean. The applicability of the results will also be tested at a number of sites within the EU.Expected OutcomeThe work carried out in this project will lead to improved combinations of innovative geophysical techniques for application in deep aquifers in the Mediterranean region. This evaluation will also lead to a more cost effective approach to water exploration and management studies, by enabling the identification of deeply located water supplies by non-invasive technology, instead of traditional drilling techniques.The key activities are to be performed in Cyprus and Israel.The hydrogeological problem to be addressed on Cyprus is water exploration, and will include:* reliable and detailed mapping of various types of aquifers (sediments/crystalline basement)* geophysical exploration, using a combination of NMR, EKS, AMT, AAR and other sophisticated techniques* evaluation of water quality by ICP-MS and other analyses.The hydrogeological problem to be addressed in Israel is water resource management, and will include:* problems of salinization, contamination, overpumping, which will be evaluated to enable a more efficient management.* geophysical exploration to provide a better knowledge of the inner

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Develop methods of manufacturing customized flexible membranes using laser technology' (LASER-MEM).

assistant: **Innovation**

Polymer membranes are used today for many industrial and municipal applications to separate solids such as activated sludge from fluids like waste water. Apart from membranes for very special applications all standard membranes for basic applications are imported from outside Europe like the United States, Canada and Japan. The membranes exhibit properties that are not suitable for many applications clog up easily and are unreliable are expensive to maintain as they need frequent cleaning material has a fixed structure cannot be customised easily to meet the needs of different applications.Manufacturing processes are based on expensive continuous methods licenses to manufacture are not available to European SMEs. The LASER-MEM project will use a different method of manufacture to overcome all the disadvantages of inherent in existing products. Laser technology will be developed to enable membranes to be created from low cost raw material, using a process that can be implemented by SMEs.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Image-based analysis for drug discovery and repurposing' (REMATCH) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Drug discovery and development has become a lengthy and resource-intensive process which is characterized by high attrition rates of candidate molecules. Candidate molecules are often identified in high-throughput screening experiments that capture only a small fraction of its biological activities and too many candidates fail in clinical development due to unwanted side-effects and lack of a therapeutic window. In addition, many approved drugs harbor unrecognized therapeutic efficacy in other indications that were not covered during development. Necessary deep characterization of candidate molecules during pre-clinical development demands further efficient and cost-effective methods and data rich assays. Providing a solution to compare phenotypic measurements to a reference database can facilitate the profiling of unwanted effects and the identification of drugs with potential for repurposing. High-content imaging provides a cost-effective solution to capture a broad range of biological responses, however, analysis of such data requires extensive expertise and data processing pipelines. This project has the following objectives: (i) to develop a cloud-based infrastructure for analyses of image-based drug screening (WP1), (ii) to perform a proof-of-concept screen to create a reference database and a showcase for commercialization (WP2), (iii) to conduct market analyses and development of a business plan for a spin-off company (WP3). The ERC Proof of Concept Grant will thus enable us, based on methods pioneered in our ERC Advanced Grant, to develop and perform a proof-of-concept as well as to develop an innovative knowledge base and cloud-IT product for drug development and repositioning.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Quantum Ultrafast Integrated Photonics in Silicon' (QUIPS).

assistant: **Concept**

The central aim of this proposal is to design and experimentally demonstrate ultrafast quantum optics in guided-wave circuits integrated on a silicon chip for a new generation of all-optical quantum computing.  The use of quantum information can give exponential increases in the power of computing over classical computers, and unique applications such as 100% secure communications guaranteed by the laws of physics.  As in the integrated computing revolution that has transformed society over the last 50 years, silicon can provide for the extreme miniaturisation of integrated quantum optics circuits, which will have the potential to transform the field with a step-change in complexity of the circuits realisable over the next 50 years.  Future quantum photonics circuits will also have to operate at ultrafast rates, mirroring the demand for bandwidth in today’s classical computers and communications.However, the challenge of transferring the technology to operate at the single photon level useful to quantum optics has only been fully grasped by a few people.  This proposal will address this gap by demonstrating the operation of three key components at the single photon level: the frequency converter, optical switch and quantum memory or buffer.  My designs will make use of photonic crystal waveguides which give ultra-compact devices and flexible operating options.  For example, slow-light modes which can be tailored to optimise the operation of the frequency convertor, optical switch and optical buffer respectively.The combination of expertise in silicon photonics and the position of the host as the World’s leading integrated quantum optics group give a unique opportunity for this fellowship to bridge the gap between the two disciplines.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'The Global-Local Nexus of Armed Conflicts: The interlinkages between resource-fuelled armed conflicts and the EU’s raw materials supply' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The project GLONEXACO is coordinated by the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI), an inter-university institute of Barcelona’s public universities (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universitat Barcelona and Universitat Pompeu Fabra), and will be conducted in collaboration with the Program on Order, Conflict and Violence (OCV) at Yale University. By merging methods of Economic Geography and Conflict Studies, it scrutinises the relationship between local armed conflicts and global market dynamics in the case of natural resource trade. The objective of this research project is to study this illicit trade and to suggest policy options that help to ensure a safe supply of raw materials for Europe’s industry.It brings together two different research fields in an innovative and multidisciplinary analytical framework, called the “Global-Local Nexus of Armed Conflicts” (GLONEXACO). On the one hand, GLONEXACO will incorporate the concept of Global Production Networks (GPN) from the field of Economic Geography to map international trade streams and the role of the involved state and non-state actors. On the other hand GLONEXACO will use elements of conflict studies and look on the microdynamics of civil wars to look on the local dynamics of this trade.In practical terms, the project will use GLONEXACO for the assessment of two case studies (DR Congo and Central African Republic) with the aim of contributing specific policy recommendations both for the EU and other actors about how to curb this trade. The framework potential is not limited to its use with conflict resources, but it will also be applicable to other cases in which global economic dynamics meet local conflicts.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Policy-making and regulation for a European multimedia industry - the legal and socio-technical issues' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The growth in Multimedia technologies, products and services has led to convergences within and between previously separated sectors of the information and communication industries. This has raised new legal and socio-technical challenges for which current policy frameworks are inappropriate. There is a need for new legal and technical structures to facilitate the development of an equitable information society. For success solutions must be developed at the supra-national level where policy-makers, business representatives, academics and social groups can interact to provide innovative solutions. In order to complement existing research and facilitate the development of new approaches to these issues it will be important to gain further training in the legal problems of Multimedia and to benefit from the legal and inter-disciplinary expertise at C.R.I.D. It is also important to have an opportunity to analyse directly, European Union policy processes and interview policy-makers.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Investigation of the Structural Stability and Integrity of Steel Foam Sandwich Panels' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

INSIST is an experimental investigation on the structural integrity and stability of novel steel foam sandwich panels under monotonic and cyclic loading.  The response of single density and graded properties cores are studies and the differences in the observed failure modes quantified. Furthermore the project explores the response of welded end-plates in steel foam sandwich panels and testing the strength and tolerance of the connection under static load and fatigue. Also for the first time a pilot corrosion test will take place in order to observe the failure propagation in fatigue within a corrosive environment. These tests are essential and will pave the way for the use of SFSPs in structural engineering applications. Moreover, the project seeks to explore biomimetic optimized applications for steel foam sandwich panels in the offshore and marine sector that can perform more than one function, such as weight, vibration damping and even provide data for structural health monitoring purposes.The overarching aim of this project is the training of the researcher in the field of experimental structural stability and integrity specific to novel functionally optimized components pertinent to offshore and marine engineering, at Cranfield University’s Department of Offshore, Process and Energy Engineering Structural Integrity Lab. The purpose of this fellowship will be to equip the researcher with the necessary skills to pursue independent experimental and computational research in structural integrity of offshore structures and other safety critical structures pertinent to the Energy industry which is an emerging industry in the Eastern Mediterranean and Cyprus, where the researcher’s home institution is located (Cyprus University of Technology), as well as an industry of c
