user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Sorption Heat-pump Component Boosting Energy-efficiency in Gas-fired Boilers' (HEATBOOST).

assistant: **Concept**

Swedish award-winning cleantech company and leading supplier of sorption heat-pump components ClimateWell has recently made a technology breakthrough: A new, salt-liquid working couple that both raises the energy efficiency in gas-fired boilers and increases the temperature lift, making it possible to heat pump outside ambient air (as its renewable energy source) down to -20°C. This enables retrofitting in houses with old, high temperature radiators, while achieving a Seasonal COP (SCOP) of over 130%. The solution can easily be combined with solar thermal collectors to achieve a SCOP of up to 170%.Working already with major OEMs like GE and Alfa Laval in other applications, ClimateWell is targeting the European gas boiler OEMs such as Vaillant, BDR and Ariston to develop a Gas Heat Pump (GHP) product in which ClimateWell’s HeatBoost component is integrated.It potentially saves more than 33% of the natural gas consumption (500 EUR per year) for a typical European household using a condensing gas boiler today. The cost premium can be paid off in less than 4 years, making it an attractive investment for the end-user.While the target market for domestic space heating in Europe is huge with an installed base of 90 million boilers and over 8 million sold every year, the potential environmental impact is even bigger with a total reduction of CO2 footprint of 61.5 million tonnes/year.In this 6-month Feasibility Study, ClimateWell will verify the technical and commercial feasibility of integrating ClimateWell’s new sorption component into a gas boiler system. The goal is to establish collaboration with leading European boiler manufacturers for the continued development of a GHP product and apply for funding of a Phase 2 project.A successful outcome of the project means that once

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Individual signatures in a vocal network: the role of social interactions on vocal development in birds' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

In order to maintain group cohesion, animals need to process social information efficiently. In many birds’ communities, this is ensured by vocal communication. In some bird species, social adjustment is facilitated by vocal sharing through imitation. Understanding how vocal culture develops in a population requires knowledge about social influences on vocal development. Until recently, vocal networks in animal groups have been rarely studied due to technical limitations. Here we propose to track the development of vocal culture by continuous monitoring of vocal exchanges in controlled social environments. We will study how group and individual signatures emerge and evolve within a group of birds. We have chosen two species well suited to study vocal interactions in a social network: a galliform, the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) and a songbird, the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata). Because quails are vocal non learners, it is believed that social influences play no role in the development of their vocal repertoire. Based on recent findings, we would like to revisit these aspects and test if quails raised in small groups from hatching to adulthood can develop vocal culture. In zebra finches, the song is learned during a sensitive period of the early life, mainly from the father. However, each bird develops a distinct song, maintaining both individual and group identity. We will study the balance between individual and group identity by using finches that have been trained to sing an identical song, and placing them together in a colony to test how vocal culture evolves across generations. In both species, vocalizations have the potential to be used as individual signatures. Using operant conditioning, we will study perceptual mechanisms of individual recognition i

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Watching Excitons in Photoactive Organic Frameworks'.

assistant: **Concept**

One of the most urgent challenges our society is facing nowadays is the development of an energy economy based on renewable resources. A fascinating approach is artificial photosynthesis, where solar energy is exploited to produce chemical fuels out of carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. While recent technological advances are bringing us closer to the goal of developing efficient light-harvesting platforms, a fundamental gap about the atomic-scale mechanisms remains to be filled. Understanding the atomistic details of the processes involved is of tremendous importance to drive a rational design of photoactive materials. Relevant questions include: how do electrical charges move upon light absorption? How does the atomic structure influence the ability to harvest light? Why do some materials work better than others? Answering to questions as these represents an extraordinary demanding task, since excitons, the most fundamental light-induced excitations, composed of bound electron-hole pairs, are only transient short-lived entities occurring in complex materials. The WEPOF project aims at enabling the direct experimental observation of excitons in photoactive covalent organic frameworks, providing a fundamental understanding of photoexcited states in energy materials. While the structural complexity of organic frameworks will be tackled by individuating elementary functional units, allowing rationalizing their structure-function relations, the development of unique scanning probe microscopy methods will enable to watch excitons on their relevant length- and timescales. The understanding of excitonic processes will allow steering the design of photoactive materials with improved energy conversion efficiency, providing a conceptual framework for next-generation material p

user: Explain how 'Fascinating World of Researchers in the Age of Technology – Cultural Heritage & the New Generation of Innovators' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The main objective of our proposal is to present researchers from several aspects in order to get them closer to the general public and to encourage the youth – with a special focus on girls – to embark on scientific careers. We will apply a mission-oriented, impact-focused approach in our project in which interdisciplinary challenges, innovative solutions, (young) researchers, their work and hobbies will be presented in an interactive, educating and entertaining way to stimulate the interest of citizens towards R&I and to bring it closer to their expectations and concerns. A special attention will be given to the role of R&I in discovery, preservation and demonstration of cultural heritage; the bridges between STEM and cultural heritage will be demonstrated. As the consortium and the cooperating partners represent well the relationship of the knowledge triangle, the involvement of many different actors across various disciplines and sectors will achieve a high impact and make researchers and innovators' work familiar to various age groups. Our main target group is students of age 6-26, but we aim to address all age groups – siblings, parents & grandparents – with attractive programmes. The target audience can thus discover that being a researcher is cool and creative and not only researchers, but young innovators are also amongst us. Our objective is to have at least 30000 visitors on our 24 venues on the two-day event, but a multiple of that number (at least 1000000) will see, hear or read about the NIGHT. Our venues cover the whole country. We expect at least doubling them by organisations joining the NIGHT – the most important science communication event in Hungary – as the result of the awareness raising campaign. We intend to raise awareness of the European engage

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Cooperative Self-Organizing System for low Carbon Mobility at low Penetration Rates' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Traffic is time and energy consuming and produces negative effects on the environment. The first pillar of the Green Paper on Urban Mobility: Towards a new culture for urban mobility adopted by the EU commission in 2007, puts a strong emphasis on (1) reducing congestion and its impact in everyday life on urban environments, and (2) developing smarter urban transport systems, whose aim is to spread good practices towards more efficient urban transport.<br/>Traffic control systems should cope with the ever increasing demand by determining the situation on the road network and by controlling traffic flows. Emerging cooperative techniques like vehicle-to-infrastructure communication increase the knowledge about road traffic participants and open new channels for delivering information to these participants. However, most cooperative systems require large penetration rates in order to assure their functionality, making the first steps towards their deployment unattractive.<br/>COLOMBO will overcome this hurdle by delivering a set of modern, self-organizing traffic management algorithms designed for being applicable even at low penetration rates, asserting their usability from the very first deployment days on. COLOMBO will focus on two traffic management topics: traffic surveillance and advanced traffic light control algorithms. Herein, cost-efficiency and the reduction of vehicular emissions will be the project's key objectives. Both results are assumed to be more than a pure technology step. Rather than that, they lay the foundations for new, cost-effective and comprehensive way to measure and handle traffic. Additional results will include prototypes for incident and emission monitoring at intersections, going far beyond current state of the art.<br/>COLOMBO will achieve

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Development and functional analysis of a murine knockout for minibrain, a gene implicated in down syndrome' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of mental retardation and in most cases is due to three full copies of human chromosome 21 (HC21). Mental retardation in DS is probably a consequence of the anomalous development of the central nervous system, so genes which show temporal or high levels of expression during the development of the central nervous system may be of special importance in DS, especially in the pathogenesis of mental retardation. Recently, the human homologue of the Drosophila minibrain gene was isolated from HC21. Its location, together with its probable function in neurogenesis, supports MNB as a strong candidate gene to produce some of the neurological abnormalities present in DS patients. To determine the biological function of MNB, I propose to knockout the gene in mouse and to assess the contribution of MNB dysfunction to the abnormal brain development and mental retardation observed in DS.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'A Theory of Reliable Hardware'.

assistant: **Concept**

The complexity of computing hardware keeps increasing at a rapid pace, with no end in sight. With growing number of components and ongoing miniaturization, hardware engineers struggle with an increasing number and variety of faults, yet must guarantee correct operation of the system as a whole. This is hindered by a concurrent increase in design complexity, i.e., the trend of integrating ever more diverse circuits into larger systems, which results in a higher complexity of verifying the correctness of a given design - especially when providing for the possibility that some components may fail.The goal of this project is to develop a holistic mathematical approach to modeling fault-tolerant circuits and demonstrate its usefulness in practice. Such a framework will exhibit several advantages over the present methods, which are largely based on simulation and experimentation: (i)   mathematical proofs offer parametrized guarantees, which implies that the derived building blocks can easily be re-used in varying configurations and translated to different technologies;  (ii)  it permits statements about general fault types, entailing that claimed properties do not rely on specific fault behavior (which depends on operational parameters and technology); and  (iii) abstract, parametrized reasoning enables to design and optimize for long-term scalability.While this approach to fault-tolerance has been successfully applied in the area of distributed computing for decades, transferring it to low-level hardware design introduces new obstacles, such as very limited computational capabilities of the basic components and the potential for metastability. Overcoming these challenges will pave the way for highly dependable and scalable systems, and thus help in further sustaining the ex

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Smart thermal management of high-power microprocessors using phase-change'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Developments in modern high-speed microprocessors enhance communication, computing and electronics, thereby playing a profound role in our societies and industries. Sustaining long-term high speeds and reliable operation requires efficient heat dissipation. Phase-change based cooling offers a promising alternative to conventional air-cooling in both earth and space environments. We will build on our previous FP7 IRSES THERMAPOWER project which led to major advancements in the fundamental understanding of phase change phenomena. As a result of this early work one researcher won an international prize and secured a fellowship at MIT following the discovery of azimuthal currents in evaporating drops. We aim to achieve this through the expansion of our network, building new collaborations of top researchers from 15 world-class universities from EU, Asia, Africa, North America and South America, and 3 European SMEs with expertise in precision experiments, micro-fabrication, theoretical modelling, numerical simulation and engineering design. This collaboration will enable knowledge transfer and access to unique facilities at NASA, Intel, Brazilian Furnas, Hitachi, IBM, Indian TIFR, Toronto SIE Lab, Tianjin Key Lab and Pretoria Thermofluid Lab, training 43 early stage researchers in latest experimental and modelling techniques.  The research programme planned addresses key questions in complexities of scale hitherto unstudied, including contact line interactions amongst evaporating bubbles or droplet populations on patterned substrates. The expertise will be transferred through the planned secondments and exposure of all secondees to different research environments. Besides regular meetings and technical workshops, we will hold training schools at Maryland, Kyushu, Toronto, Wa

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Multi Ion Reflection Apparatus for Collinear Laser Spectroscopy of radionuclides' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Employing laser spectroscopy (LS) to study radionuclides is equally rich in its long tradition as it is manifold in its active pursuit today as virtually all radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities do or are planning to host dedicated setups. Probing the hyperfine structure of an atom or ion with laser light is a powerful technique to infer nuclear properties such as a nuclide’s spin, charge radius, or electromagnetic moments. This information provides insight into a wide range of contemporary questions in nuclear physics such as the mechanism driving the emergence and disappearance of nuclear shells far away from stability.In the last decade, LS has benefited from the advent of ion traps in rare isotope science. The bunched beams released from these traps have led to an increase in sensitivity by several orders of magnitude due to an improved signal-to-background ratio when gating on the passing ion bunch.This present proposal is determined to introduce another type of ion trap, an Electrostatic Ion Beam Trap, which has the potential to enhance the sensitivity of collinear LS by another factor of 20-800. This is achieved by increasing the laser-interaction and observation time by trapping the ion bunch between two electrostatic mirrors while keeping its beam energy at 30 keV to minimize Doppler broadening.Such a device promises to extend collinear LS to nuclides so far out of reach given their low yields of typically <1000 ions/s at RIB facilities. Among the accessible nuclides are 34Mg in the island of inversion, 20Mg at the neutron shell closure N=8, or Sn isotopes towards the doubly magic 100Sn. Their charge radii will benchmark modern theoretical models utilizing 3-body forces in their quest to understand the evolution of nuclear shells.Ultimately, the setup can be f

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'A novel approach for sexing chicken embryos on day one before incubation - saving them from being hatched and disposed of.' (2014-2020) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

eggXYt makes it possible to count your chicken before they hatch - saving the lives of 7 billion layer chicks, saving the industry billions of Euros & adding 7 billion eggs to the global supply.Each year the Layer Chicken industry sends 14 billion fertile eggs to hatcheries, where they are incubated for 3 weeks & only after they are hatched, are they manually identified as male or female by human chicken sexers. This means that 50% of the eggs, the male chicks – which are useless for both poultry & layer industries – are immediately disposed of, wasting billions of Euros. This is a massive financial & ethical challenge.eggXYt’s CRISPR based proprietary technology revolutionizes the chicken industry. Using a biomarker on the male chromosome of a chicken embryo, the sex of the chick is detectable once the egg is laid, & more importantly before the chick hatches. Scanning the egg through the shell, eggXYt is saving billions on incubation & manual sexing costs: 7 billion male chicks will be saved from unnecessary incubation & immediate killing, & the male non incubated eggs could be repurposed to be used in the food, animal feed, pharma or cosmetic industries. The eggXYt layers lay ethical “male chick culling free eggs” – in total, eggXYt’s technology creates a €300 billion opportunity.eggXYt was successful in both scientific & business development, resulting in several global accolades & receiving funding from various sources. SMEi-1 (Grant Agreement 774906) was used for completing the feasibility study for this innovative project & confirming its viability as a significant business opportunity. The next objective is to create a market ready eggXYt version for commercial launch in strategic markets. Successful implementation of this SMEi-2 project should lead to achievemen
