user: Explain how 'Towards a general approach to multiscale simulation and its application to nanotechnology' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The rapid advances in understanding the very small scales will have an enormous impact on the macro-scale world in which ¿we live.¿ The simulation of multi-scale systems presents the major challenge of computational mechanics. At present, problems in areas as diverse as environmental and geosciences, materials, combustion and biosciences are facing major roadblocks due to multi-scale modelling needs.Nanotechnology is our first application of interest (one of the lines of the ERA that will have a profound impact in medicine, electronics and materials). This is a novel field that starts the design at the finest scales, where critical phenomena need to be described at the atomistic level. However, nanoscale devices may interact with larger components with longer response times. Therefore, there is a need to simulate systems over an enormous range of scales (atomistic to continuum models). To this end, multi-scale analysis and methods promise great research opportunities.Further, other fields now in fashion will profit from multi-scale simulation. E.g., improved climate models required to predict the effect of human activities on Earth will incorporate local effects that will be accounted for using multi-scale modelling. We want to develop a general mathematical frame for multi-scale simulation that will improve the current situation (a set of disjoint, ad-hoc and extremely limited methods developed without a general approach). It will provide a common language to formulate and analyse multi-scale methods. With this aim we suggest the extension of the Variational Multi-scale Method to atomistic to continuum modelling.This method is extremely flexible and with a general motivation. From VMM naturally arises key aspects as inter-scales communication. Further, we want to exp l

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'LICE CULTIVATOR: Fast mechanical cultivator reducing fuel and herbicide use' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

At the time of soil management for cultivation, herbicides have become one of the most significant advancements. Despite its useful side, herbicides are well known at the present to be enormously pollutant for soils and watercourses as well as crops. Nowadays, innovation on the field of undesired weeds removal is based on the search of less harmful methods as mechanical rotary herbicides or rotary cultivators that, at the same time, present some disadvantages: due to the discs shape they provoke compaction of the soil underneath causing floods and dewatering of lowers layers, as well as present a lot of resistance when moving due to their disc shape and materials, moved thanks to the engine power transmission shaft in a very slow and inefficiently way, provoking a big waste of fuel and associated GHG emissions. CAVALLERETTI, and Italian company from Ferrara, has invented a revolutionary system based on a patented and long-lasting cultivator discs, rollers cut and general design performing an efficient cultivation of the soil for planting bedding. LICE cultivator allows a fast work increasing the speed four times (from 5 kmts. to 20) saving the 30% of fuel, therefore decreasing the level of GHG emissions and saving money, preventing floods and avoiding the use of chemical herbicides and fertilisers as it turns the removed and chopped weeds in organic compost. LICE is expected to bring to the company in the 5 ys. after full commercialization a total accumulated turnover of €28M, with a profit of €8,7M, a R.O.I. of 4,8 and a positive impact regarding employment with 26 job creation. It has to be said that global tractor machinery market sales figure is forecast to reach 2,8 thousand tractor units by 2023 growing at a CAGR of around 5% accompanied with a big demand and exig

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Unraveling the regulatory networks in Streptomyces that switch on antibiotic production on demand' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

As Nature's medicine makers, Streptomyces bacteria produce a plethora of natural products, which we harness for clinical, biotechnological and agricultural applications, including 70% of the antibiotics. Streptomycetes still have a vast reservoir of unexplored biosynthetic potential, but many biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are not expressed in the laboratory. To bring the chemical dark matter to the light, we need to discover the keys to unlock the expression of cryptic BGCs. I aim to add an entirely new dimension to genome mining, namely via understanding and exploitation of the regulatory networks that control natural product biosynthesis in Actinobacteria. My team discovered the concept of antibiotic production on demand, showing that plant hormones activate antimicrobials. Predicting when instead of what BGCs produce will allow clustering of BGCs based on their response to ecological signals. This can serve as a beacon for prioritising BGCs, and aid in the discovery of new biosynthetic pathways. I will tackle three major challenges:[1] The systems biology challenge is to elucidate the regulatory circuitry of streptomycetes and to reliably predict how BGCs are controlled[2] The metabolic challenge is to unwire the networks that tie carbon metabolism to antibiotic production, to bridge the gap from the complex polysaccharides in nature to the defined carbon sources of the laboratory.[3] The ecological challenge is to unravel the mechanisms and molecules via which plants invoke the power of Streptomyces' bioactive molecules to obtain protection against infections and pests, aimed at biological disease-suppression.COMMUNITY is an open science project that will help to elucidate whether the yet unexplored BGCs will deliver a paradigm shift in drug discovery, for appli

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'A deformable, multi-domain, numerical muscular neck model for orthopaedics and ergonomics applications' (DEMU2NECK), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Numerical modelling has become an essential tool in the biomechanics research field. Multi-segment rigid-body and FE models are being used extensively in the context of automotive safety. These models provide objective means to assess the behaviour and associated injury risk of a representative sample of the population in a given crash scenario. In a clinical context, similar objective biomechanical parameters are required; however, these parameters have to be patient-specific. In this context, there is a need for detailed models that could describe the morphology and behaviour of a given subject. At this stage, the scientific challenge is to design and integrate 3D, deformable muscle segments that are both robust and time-efficient in these models. The human neck is a complex structure, for which an optimal posture as well as the combined mobility and stability of the cervical spine are intrinsically related to one’s ability to mobilize his muscles harmoniously. Trauma, degenerative diseases, surgery or ageing will affect this balance, and may result in pain or in a loss or excess of mobility. In the global framework of designing detailed numerical models that allow exploring such musculo-skeletal interactions, the aim of the project is to develop a deformable, contractile numerical muscular neck model, by (1) creating a subject-specific geometry of the head/neck/upper torso complex and its musculature, (2) designing a relevant muscle activation model, and (3) building and validating an efficient and robust model for use in clinical and ergonomics/impact applications. This research will contribute to improve the current strategies of muscular model design. The design of a subject-specific model will create a framework to assist the clinician in his analysis and decisio

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'attojoule Cryogenic Communication' (2014-2020), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The end of Moore’s law has led to unsustainable growth in data centre and high-performance computing (HPC) power consumption. Within the post-CMOS technologies addressing this energy crisis, those based on superconductivity are among the most promising ones. Superconducting classical computing based on single flux quantum (SFQ) pulses is a technology enabling clock speeds exceeding 100 GHz, at extreme power efficiency. Rather than compete with CMOS head on, our vision is that SFQ cores should act as coprocessors in existing HPC architectures, much like GPUs do today. Superconducting circuits are also a leading candidate for implementations of quantum computing (QC), which promises to solve certain classically intractable problems. There, SFQ logic offers a natural solution for tight integration of the signal processing required for control and readout of large-scale error-corrected superconducting quantum processors. In both HPC and QC, expanding to large scale is essential for practical impact, and thus, high-bandwidth data transfer to the cryogenic coprocessor is a key bottleneck. In aCryComm we combine top-level European expertise in HPC, superconducting electronics, quantum computing, and photonics to create an optical data bus between conventional HPC and cryogenic SFQ circuits. We expect the optical data link to outperform conventional electrical connections in bandwidth, energy consumption, thermal loading, and physical footprint. To this end, we will develop opto-electric and electro-optic interfaces, culminating in demonstrators that quantitatively characterize the data bus performance. Thanks to the inter-disciplinary composition of the consortium, we are also able to produce and promote a plan for the long-term exploitation of the cryogenic data bus in HPC an

user: Explain how 'Quantum information transfer  between hole spins and topological states' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The promise of universal quantum computation stems from the remarkable behaviour of quantum states and the challenge is to gain control over their fragile nature. In topological quantum computation, information can be encoded nonlocally on Majorana states to provide inherent protection against noise, but operation is restricted to the trivial Clifford group. Spins in quantum dots do provide universal logic, but interactions are short-ranged. I propose to study the question whether these platforms can be united to overcome their limitations as a path toward large-scale quantum computation. The grand goal of this project is, therefore, to coherently transfer quantum information between spin and topological qubits. Our quantum material of choice is germanium, which can exhibit strong spin-orbit coupling, can provide long quantum coherence for single spins, and can make ohmic contacts to superconductors for hybrid superconductor-semiconductor systems. We will use two-dimensional germanium hetero structures and fabricate superconducting quantum dot devices. Qubits defined on the spin states of single holes will be electrically driven using the spin-orbit interaction and coupled through the exchange interaction. On linear chains of quantum dots we will pursue topological superconductivity, which we will consequently integrate in the spin qubit platform. We will then study their interaction to demonstrate controllable transfer of quantum information between hole spin and Majorana states.  This research is presently at a fundamental stage and is thereby bound to produce exciting results where new physics may arise. The choice of the materials platform and its compatibility with semiconductor manufacturing promises for a successful adoption as building block for future quantum t

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Solar Steam Reforming of Methane Rich Gas for Synthesis Gas Production (SOLREF)', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Methane reforming is an endothermic reaction between methane, steam and/or CO2. The products are a mixture of hydrogen and CO, called syngas. In solar reforming, the calorific value of the fuel is upgraded by 20-30%, accounted for the contribution of the solar energy. The products can be directly combusted in a gas turbine for electricity generation or, can be used as a source for hydrogen production. The process is attractive where the sun is plentiful and where natural gas is available close by (e.g. Italy). The products can be piped in the existing pipeline and can be used as a fuel by customers far from the solar plant. Solar reforming can also be applied to other methane containing feedstocks such as biogas, and CO2 contaminated wells. This makes solar reforming a powerful candidate for benign, pollution free fuel processing in the future hydrogen economy. In the framework of the EC/FP4 the fundamentals of this technology have been developed (SOLASYS project) and tested at a scale of few hundreds kilowatts solar input. Based on the results of the SOLASYS project, the SOLREF project aims to bring the technology forward to the edge of industrialisation.Three main subjects that are crucial to success of this technology will be studied in the SOLREF project.1) A durable and stable catalytic system for reforming different feedstocks at high temperatures that complies with the specific conditions imposed by the solar application, such as rapid thermal fluctuations.2) Mechanical modifications and improvements to the reformer and the concept design of the industrial module.3) Establishing operation procedures, especially for faster start up and shut down.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for '3D Printed Micro-Optics to the Market' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

In the project 3DPrintoptixMarket, we are going to take 3D printed micro-optics to the market. The technology had been developed in the framework of PoC grant 3DPRINTEDOPTICS by the group of Harald Giessen, who had published key papers of this technology and who founded the company Printoptix GmbH as an outcome. We are going to build complex 3D printed multiplet micro-lenses for augmented, virtual and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR) applications and will address a market that is growing at more than 40% annual rate to reach a market size of over 300 billion USD in the year 2028.For this purpose, we are going to team up the Printoptix company with one of the leading eye tracking companies, Viewpointsystem GmbH from Vienna, to develop a first industrially viable demonstrator that integrates 3D printed micro-optics into their AR/VR goggles to read out the eye pupil position upon infrared illumination. We are going to take this technology demonstrators to early customers, which use such systems for remote repair, remote advice, and for customer training and monitoring. Upon success, our technology will be taken to larger customers that address the giant AR/VR/MR market, which includes teleconferencing, remote medicine, servicing and training, and gaming.Simultaneously, we are going to explore viable business models for 3D printed micro-optics and address key business numbers such asmanufacturing cost per part, overhead, investments etc. One key part of our proposal is to lower the cost per part to reach numbers below existing technologies. Furthermore, we are going to prepare a business plan to get 3D printed micro-optics investor-ready. This will assure that our worldleading, disruptive 3D printed micro-optics technology ansatz provides unique high-tech solutions for global marke

user: Draft an impact statement for 'IN THE SAME SEA: THE LESSER ANTILLES AS A COMMON WORLD OF SLAVERY AND FREEDOM', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

IN THE SAME SEA is the first systematic investigation of the combined history of the Lesser Antilles from the 1650s to the 1850s.The project advances the hypothesis that the Lesser Antilles were decisively shaped by inter-island connections that transformed separate islands into a common world of slavery and freedom. Living in fragile societies of limited resources and marked by racial slavery, plantation production, and long-distance commerce, enslaved Africans, free people of color, and Europeans depended on and gained vital resources from crossing the short sea routes to their neighbors in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Danish, and Swedish colonies.The project consists of a team specializing in the historiographies, archives, and languages of the six colonial powers present in the Lesser Antilles. A collaborative research methodology and digital solutions to data collection and mapping, enable the project to generate crucial new knowledge of how inter-island connections shaped the Lesser Antilles. This is done in five work packages covering the inter-island trade, enslaved movement, maintaining slavery, island belonging, and cultural responses to living in fragile societies.The project features a number of key elements designed to ensure its impact on the historical field and beyond. First, the project challenges the long-standing focus on European empires as the fundamental lodestone of the history of the Lesser Antilles. Second, it lays the foundation for an online database and digital mapping resource, which will become a crucial research tool in the fields of Caribbean and Atlantic history. Third, it brings a new analytical model to the efforts of studying spatial processes within several fields, amongst others, Atlantic history, new imperial history, and globa
