user: Explain how 'Multi-modal, configurable optical lab-on-chip platform for low-cost multipurpose diagnostics & monitoring' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

There is an increasing need for miniaturised, multifunctional sensors providing simultaneous access to diverse chemical & biochemical information, required in various applications. Nowadays, such information, is routinely obtained by centralized laboratories and the use of analytical techniques. Although such methods will remain important when an immediate response is not necessary, easy-to-use, rapid point-of-need sensors that can be used by non-specialized personnel or even operate in a completely automated (unattended) manner could be a game-changer in a diverse range of fields such as disease management, robotics or for the early detection of environmental threats. Nanophotonic devices that precisely control light in subwavelength volumes and enhance light–matter interactions, have opened up new prospects for sensing applications, addressing the limitations of current analytical methods in terms of sensitivity, ease-of-use and miniaturization. There are, though, challenges to be overcome.MultiLab addresses these challenges by developing a highly flexible multi-sensing platform compatible with wafer scale manufacturing that will integrate multiple sensing modalities to simultaneously detect biological, chemical, microorganism and molecular targets for medical diagnostics & IoT-based environmental monitoring. The sensing modalities integrated in the MultiLab platform are a) plasmonic augmented, Arrayed Waveguide Grating sensing on a Si3N4 photonic platform for true & scalable multiplexed detection, b) mid-IR PTS employing the same SiN photonic platform for on-chip interferometric sensing by means of MZIs including also the same plasmonic devices and optical read-out as for the PA-AWG, c) graphite-based electro-chemiluminescence sensing. The system will be demonstrated

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Depicting the impact of an invasive alien crop pest on local ecological networks' (PESTNET).

assistant: **Innovation**

Invasive alien herbivore species are a major threat to agriculture because they directly damage crops and induce severe yield losses, but also because they indirectly impact the structure, stability and functioning of native arthropod communities. Indirect facilitation mechanisms can cause unpredictable outbreaks of native pest species but, surprisingly, they have been rarely studied within arthropod communities. Within the framework of invasive species management (Regulation EU 1143/2014), understanding pest facilitation mechanisms is a research priority. This is also because invasive species negatively impact the reliability of agricultural Decision Support Systems, used in sustainable agriculture (Directive 2009/128/EC). PESTNET aims, as general objective, at developing a novel inter- multidisciplinary and intersectoral approach (field monitoring, DNA metabarcoding, multilayer ecological network analyses, citizen science) to depict the basic and applied ecological consequences of a human-introduced alien crop pest on the invaded trophic network. The model system used for implementation is represented by the highly invasive Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, Halyomorpha halys, native stink bug species and shared egg parasitoids. An original two-fold cutting-edge approach is proposed aiming at assessing the following specific objectives: Obj. 1) Evaluation of indirect pest facilitation mediated by host-parasitoid prevalence in non-invaded vs. invaded networks; Obj. 2) Evaluation of stink bug community changes using a mobile monitoring system (app) to estimate spatial trends in stink bugs abundance. Through the involvement of academic and non academic (industry) partners, the project will provide novel insights on how an invasive herbivore pest of worldwide economic importance

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Genetic improvement of pigeon pea and management of intercropping systems in semi arid areas of east Africa', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The main objectives are as follows :* Develop high-yielding cultivars of pigeonpea combining pest/disease resistance, drought tolerance and good seed quality.* Optimise crop management of pigeonpea and cereals in multiple cropping systems of the semi arid areas of East Africa using improved varieties.Expected OutcomeIt is expected to increase the average dry seed yield of pigeonpea by 20 % through the development of new breeding lines resistant and tolerant to diseases, pests (top priorities) and drought and through better intercropping management. This will lead to the improvement of the quantity, the quality (protein) and the distribution of food produced in the dry areas of Kenya and Uganda. Better growth vigour and productions in pigeonpea will also enhance nitrogen fixation and soil conservation and ensure higher availability of residues and foliage for livestock feeding. The work carried out in this project should lead to the development of refined breeding schemes for intercropping situations, with respect to the specific criteria of selection of pigeonpea cropping systems in the semi arid areas of East Africa and to the development of agronomic management/genetic enhancement strategies to alleviate pest/diseases effects and drought stress in the target region.The key activities envisaged are : * Build up of a working collection for pigeonpea. Land races and wild relatives will be collected in Kenya and Uganda in the areas of highest genetic diversity. Already advanced breeding lines fitted to the target region will be gathered from local and international research institutions.* Survey of the semi arid areas of the target regions. The major cropping systems of the pigeonpea growing regions will be identified and their major constraints (biotic/abiotic) will be l

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Process adaptation by configuration technology in virtual enterprises' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

To compete in the global market, the European industry will have to significantly improve its ability to define, conduct and adapt complex business processes to reduced development and production times and changing customers needs. Current practice is to manually use a rather general process model and to fill in the details for each project. This practice is time consuming, costly and error prone. This increases the development time and costs and has an adverse affect on manufacturing process efficiency. Such a deficiency in the industrial production process affects the competitiveness of the European industry.In the evolving reality of extended enterprises, consisting of different organizations with different processes and cultures, planning, coordinating and executing good quality processes is nearly impossible. Research activities in ProACTIVE strive at reducing costs and time-to-market and increasing quality and responsiveness-to-market for one-of-a-kind business processes in project industry. ProACTIVE will use modelling and configuration technology to define and adapt one-of-a-kind business processes in a virtual enterprise. The main results of the ProACTIVE project will be concepts and a methodology for (semi) automatic configuration and adaptation of business processes. Such concepts and methodology will be validated through industrial trial.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Enrichment of macular pigment, and its impact on vision and blindness' (CREST).

assistant: **Innovation**

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the developed world. The macula, the central part of the retina, is responsible for optimal spatial vision. There is a growing body of evidence that a lack of a dietary pigment at the macula, known as macular pigment (MP), is associated with increased risk of AMD.MP contains the carotenoids lutein (L), zeaxanthin (Z) and meso-zeaxanthin (meso-Z). The typical western diet contains around 60 carotenoids, and 18 have been identified in human serum. However, only three are found at the macula, indicating the unique biological selectivity for their uptake at this location. The function of MP remains undetermined. It is likely that the accumulation of MP has evolved because of its optical and antioxidant properties; for example, MP limits retinal oxidative damage passively (through filtration of blue light) and actively (by quenching free radicals). Furthermore, its optical properties suggest a key role for MP in enhancing visual performance and supporting ‘super’ vision by reducing the effects of chromatic aberration and light scatter.Recent research has shown that MP can be augmented by dietary supplementation in most (but not all) subjects, suggesting that the macular concentrations of these carotenoids are suboptimal in many people. My laboratory has discovered that a dip in the central portion of this pigment, seen in around 12% of individuals, is an undesirable feature of its spatial profile and may be linked to an inability to generate meso-Z at the macula. However, we have identified that enrichment of MP can be achieved by inclusion of meso-Z in a dietary supplement.We propose to uniquely enrich MP and assess its impact on visual performance in normal subjects and visual function in patients

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Intersectoral Network for Innovation on Smart Thermal Solutions for Bicycle Helmets' (SmartHELMET).

assistant: **Concept**

Bicycle helmets are a tremendously important asset against head injuries during accidents. However, their normal use is often associated with strong thermal discomfort due to the (thermally) insulating nature of the materials used in their structures. This affects directly the willingness to wear helmets, which has direct implications in terms of the risk to which riders are exposed to. However, the capacity and expertise to improve the thermal performance of helmets exist on academic institutions (e.g. expertise in thermal physiology, monitoring of bio-responses, active cooling) but they lack a viable supply chain to go from prototypes to finished products, ready for exploitation. On the other hand, SMEs lack the technical skills and research facilities to perform R&D activities, to solve the mentioned problem. To solve this intersectoral problem, the SmartHELMET project will create a sustainable ecosystem of collaboration and knowledge transfer between academic and industrial partners that will develop the next generation of bicycle helmets with smart thermal management. The project’s innovative aspects in terms of new products, processes and applications are very significant, as the new knowledge has many potential applications in the development of other smart headgear products (e.g. motorcycle helmets, industrial protective headgear, sports related headgear, etc.) as well as smarts products in other sectors where the thermal aspect is crucial (e.g. protective garments, sports clothing and footwear). To achieve its objectives, SmartHELMET will put together research expertise and resources from three large academic partners with market, commercialization and innovation experience from three SMEs, to exchange knowledge through intersectoral staff secondments.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Nanophotonics for Energy Efficiency', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The Nanophotonics for Energy Efficiency proposal aims to create a virtual centre of excellence to re-orient and focus nanophotonics research towards the challenges in energy efficient applications. The network will cluster nanophotonic laboratories and research groups in Europe combining their expertise in the development of disruptive approaches to lighting and solar cell technology. The consortium consolidates know-how and resources of 9 different institutions in 6 European countries with complimentary research and development expertise, integrating more than 130 scientists, engineers, technicians and managers in nanophotonics.The project pursues a scientific bottom-up approach to ensure that novel ideas and scientific breakthroughs as well as established proof-of-concepts in academia are promoted along the value chain towards reaching their eventual goal of commercialization. Market and industrial relevance is ensured through the involvement of industry leaders in the Advisory Board. This approach complements the existing top-down, industry-driven projects like e.g. OLED100.eu.The project intends to achieve the overall long-term integration goal by coordinating three main efforts:1.\tRealising a strategy for successful integration: creation of new research clusters and a virtual laboratory network that will lead to the creation of a lasting entity that will exist beyond the duration of this NoE2.\tEstablishing joint research: foster collaborations among the leading groups in nanophotonics for energy efficiency, interchanging knowledge and best practices, and paving the way towards the establishment of common research agendas3.\tSpreading knowledge: education and training specially geared towards young researchers and technicians – both on S&T issues as well as on com

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Techniques for investigating Electron Transfer Processes in ElectroActive Biofilms', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This research will advance our understanding of electron transfer processes in electroactive biofilms (EABs), which are relevant to bioremediation, wastewater treatment, biofuel and biochemical production, microbial fuel cells (MFCs), new sensor development, and control of microbially influenced corrosion. The goal of this 2-year project is to establish an international research and education program that will improve the techniques for investigating electron transfer processes in EABs using microsensors, direct electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry. The central research hypothesis is that microscale processes and biofilm heterogeneity control electron transfer processes in biofilms and these processes can be quantified using microelectrodes, microbial biofilm voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. This project comprises of four research aims and one educational aim. The four research aims can be described as it follows: a)Use of microsensors to correlate biofilm activity & structure with microscale electron transfer processes; b)Spectroelectrochemistry to investigate extracellular electron transfer processes at the interface biofilm-electrode; c)Electrochemical methods for screening of biofilms isolated from metal-rich environments; d)Soil bioremediation through electroactive biofilms. The educational aim is to develop a network of biofilm researchers to train early stage and experienced researchers at an international level on multidisciplinary research.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Consistency in ethical reasoning concerning genetic testing and other health-related practices in occupational and non-occupational settings' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Consistency in ethical reasoning concerning genetic testing and other health-related practices in occupational and non-occupational settings. OBJECTIVESThe major objective of this project is to develop a methodology allowing for comparing ethical reasoning of practices in different fields and countries, and to provide substantive material for a public debate on the acceptability of practices and the need for regulations. A related objective is to assess coherence of the ethical reasoning with the current goals of 'European' social morality.The major objective of this proposal is to develop a methodology allowing for comparing ethical reasoning of practices in different fields and countries, and to provide substantive material for a public debate on the acceptability of practices and the need for regulations. This will be done through assessing the mutual consistency of ethical reasoning in four important heath-related fields (pre-employment or pre-placement testing, occupational maternity protection policy, life insurance eligibility testing and pre-natal diagnosis) and through assessing coherence of the ethical reasoning with the current goals of `European' social morality. A series of persons from different disciplines will be invited to contribute to rigorous, parallel national workshops in three Member States illustrative of differences between Member States across the European Union: Belgium, Italy and Finland.The national workshops will be strictly parallel in their approach. Based upon an analytical description, an analysis of the - de facto - ethical and social balancing of values will be done for each of the four fields. In this way data will be compiled on consistency in the ethical reasoning of the four fields of interest in each Member State. These national
