user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Waveguide-based Cochlear Implant for Optogenetic Stimulation'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The optical cochlear implant (oCI) aims to restore near natural hearing in profoundly hearing impaired and deaf patients. Sound perception will be restored through an implantable medical device in combination with a gene therapy medicinal product. Thereby the auditory nerve is stimulated directly through focused light replacing the dysfunctional or absent hair cells. This is achieved through combination of micro-scale light emitter technology and precise neural control through expression of light-gated ion channels in the auditory nerve (called optogenetics).Here, we propose to prove feasibility of an optical waveguide modules for future optical cochlear implants. Building on fabricating micro-scaled waveguide arrays, multi-beam laser diode emitters, we plan to couple them via micro-lens arrays in a compact multi-channel optical module for testing the feasibility of miniaturization and integration of the optical components. Preclinical validation shall be performed in rodents.The proposed waveguide-based optical module combines several aspects, which makes it a candidate for later clinical application. The optical emitters can be safely integrated in the hermetically sealed titanium package housing the internal oCI electronics. Thus, there is no need to directly insert the emitters in the cochlear turns, which mitigates the risk of heat impact on the patient during optical stimulation. Furthermore, emerging red light activated opsins can be addressed by readily available red laser diode technology.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Light-addressable potentiometric sensors (LAPS) for zinc imaging with high spatiotemporal resolution for elucidating the role of zinc in age related macular degeneration.' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Light-addressable potentiometric sensors (LAPS) have great potential as a tool for functional electrochemical imaging of the attachment area of cells, providing information such as ion concentration, extracellular potentials and ion channel activity. The technique is particularly attractive for analysing cell responses of cells with planar polarisation as the cell-surface attachment area is not accessible to conventional electrophysiological measurements. However, current systems suffer either from poor resolution or slow scanning speed. In this project, we propose to develop a novel LAPS setup with high spatiotemporal resolution combined with two-photon fluorescence microscopy that allows imaging of physiological processes with submicron resolution and in real time. Novel zinc sensitive surfaces will be developed and used in conjunction with the new high-resolution and high-speed LAPS setup to investigate the role of zinc in age related macular degeneration (AMD). The retina and the underlying retinal pigment epithelium contain high concentrations of zinc. Several eye disorders are associated with altered zinc balance, and zinc supplementation has become a choice of treatment for diseases like agerelated macular degeneration. Despite its importance in health and diseases of the eye, it is still not well understood how zinc participates in cellular and molecular events and how zinc supplementation might be beneficial. We will investigate zinc fluxes at the basal side of the retinal pigment epithelium where zinc is suspected to play a key role in the formation of deposits and the initiation of AMD. The results of the study may lead to new treatments to prevent, forestall, or reverse the effects of the disease and may also help to elucidate zinc's role in other diseases i

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Information Diffusion on Networks' (ION) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

This two-year research project aims to analyse the simultaneous diffusion of multiple pieces of information on (social) networks; how messages may interact, how rumours diffuse in the presence of truthful information and verification, and how network structure interacts with the virality of information. Misinformation can have severe consequences, such as the debunked myth of a link between vaccinations and autism or AIDS denialism. Political examples also abound. The rise in communication through online networks is often quoted as contributing to an increased spread of rumours and misinformation. Yet, in truth the state of the art has little to say about how alternative pieces of information interact on networks, and even less why rumours might be propagated without prior verification. This project aims to build rigorous economic models which can shed light on the processes and decisions involved, thus addressing the tangible threat that the spread of misinformation poses to society. I am an experienced researcher and have worked for various years in the area of information diffusion on networks, providing me with excellent insights and methodological tools to work on this project under the supervision of Professor Sergio Currarini, a leading expert in network theory. My stay at Ca’Foscari University of Venice will allow me to establish new (international) collaborations and additional training, particularly regarding interdisciplinary tools to bring to the economic study of (mis)information diffusion. Together the training, network, and publications inherent in the development of this project will have an extremely positive impact on my career, including increased possibilities to apply for future funding calls by the EU.

user: Explain how 'Scalable Production and Integration of Graphene' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The global economy depends on semiconductor devices – electronic chips – in everything from smartphones to cars, the internet to lifesaving medical equipment. This market has been driven by an exponential increase in capacity achieved through miniaturisation, now reaching its physical limits. Graphene, a one-atom thick carbon layer is seen as having the greatest potential for semiconductor improvements. However, the adoption of graphene is impeded because there is no production and transfer technology which delivers high quality graphene and is suitable for large scale production processes. Applied Nanolayers (ANL) - founded in 2012 by seasoned industry professionals & material scientists from Leiden University - is unique in developing the technology to produce and exploit quality graphene on an industrial scale. Large tool vendors, supplying tools that enable semiconductor companies to get maximum performance from the current silicon technology, have not built growth and transfer tools for graphene. Therefore, in addition to developing a production methodology, ANL has built its own tools, using existing tool platforms. This means that the ANL processes can be seamlessly integrated into mainstream industry fabrication partners. ANL has a proven automated growth process as well as a dry transfer process (TRL6). The latter is not yet fully automated. ANL’s Delft foundry location with access to the facilities of the TU Delft EKL Laboratory and world class material scientists enables ANL to propose an innovative industrial foundry service for graphene. With the SPRING project, ANL aims to scale-up and automate its 2D material foundry technology, bringing it to the commercialisation stage (TRL9). Within 5 years from the project ending, ANL expects to obtain revenues of €54

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'New GeneRation marinE ENgines and Retrofit solutions to Achieve methane abatement flexibilitY'.

assistant: **Objectives**

LNG utilisation in shipping is increasing and has direct effects namely benefits on air quality and human health. Moreover, CO2 emission is lower with gas use compared to diesel fuels, but ‘methane slip’ may form in gas combustion. The low-pressure dual fuel concept is the most popular LNG engine technology and unfortunately also the technology producing methane slip. Therefore, development of methane slip reduction technologies for these low-pressure dual fuel cases is the focus of this project.To assess the methane emissions from shipping the GREEN RAY project will combine existing data collection with onboard measurements to address existing vessels and new builds, normal operation and varying loads, and further utilise these results in a model development to achieve LNG fleet level assessment. To prevent the methane slip, the strong consortium of GREEN RAY will develop on-engine technologies for low pressure dual fuel engines and aftertreatment technologies for the existing vessels as well as newbuilds. First, the four stroke engine technology is developed further to enable methane slip reduction at all engine loads and to be applicable to the largest engines in the market involving cruise, ferry and gas carriers. Second, the on-engine technology development for the two stroke engine, around a patented LNG injection system, will aim to significantly reduce methane slip from e.g. tankers and container ships. Third, a unique approach of a sulphur resistant catalyst system to significant methane oxidation while also ensuring that the activity remains high over time. The achievements of these three technologies' development will be demonstrated onboard two new builds and one retrofit to existing vessel, all of them targeting TRL 7, and implementing the partnership on ZE

assistant: **Impact**

Rationale: European industry is presently undergoing the radical and painful process of business transformation in order to maintain a competitive level on a global scale. The identification and focus on core competences defined the necessary strategic alignments. Main functions such as manufacturing, design and engineering, marketing, sales and services are being reengineered to process-driven customer-oriented entity.Need for action: 'Research and Development' has been identified as one of the remaining core business processes requiring immediate attention. A series of workshops conducted by the European IT Industry Round Table companies identified severe current problems and signposted directions for substantial new orientation. Major member companies expect a productivity benefit of up to 30% after transformation of their R&D function.Objectives: A holistic approach is necessary to transform R&D. Therefore, the core R&D processes will be re-engineered with regard to the following three dimensions of R & D management: 'Human resource management', 'process engineering and management' and 'Information and communication technologies' as an infrastructural enabler.Approach: The topic is highly complex. Therefore, the objectives are purposely limited to the provision of adequate prototypes of methods and tools as a first step. Prototypes of methods and tools for the transformation are developed from generic tool-sets and frameworks for this subclass of business processes. This is done on the basis of a classification and evaluation of best practice for R & D as well as case studies in order to identify gaps.Results: Tangible results include the provision of methodology and a guidance model for planning BPR in R&D process management. Furthermore, a prototype of an assessme

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Relativistic Effects in Heavy-Element Chemistry and Physics'.

assistant: **Concept**

The two underlying themes of relativity and electron correlation are the subject of the proposed conference. Leading specialists will be brought together to review the state of the art and identify the outstanding open questions in the relativistic theory of electron correlation. Eminent experimentalists in the field of heavy and super heavy element chemistry will discuss the subject from their point of view and identify areas where theoretical input is required. This should help to bridge the gap between theory and experiment in heavy atom chemistry, and provide impetus to the development of state-of-the-art computational tools, which may be used by non-experts to answer questions directly to their research. The meeting will discuss the emerging new technology of relativistic quantum chemistry, assessing the feasibility and accuracy of the various methods currently being developed.A computational method aspiring to give useful information for real systems must provide sufficient accuracy at reasonable cost. Non-relativistic quantum chemistry has matured in this respect; robust methods exist which may be used by non-experts and give reliable predictions for a variety of molecular properties. These methods are, however, not suitable for molecules containing heavy elements, where the electrostatic potential near the heavy nuclei is strong enough to give electrons velocities approaching the speed of light. One therefore needs a theory based on relativistic kinematics and quantum electrodynamics. The last decade has seen a rapid development of methods based on the Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian, giving a proper relativistic description of electronic motion. Most of these methods have been developed in Europe, where the concerted effort of many small groups distributed in d
