user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Interactive total support and guidance for effective management of health and safety in manufacturing smes' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of the ITSAFE project is to develop a practical software-based toolset to support daily management of health and safety management in small companies, and thereby improve their health and safety performance. Health and safety issues are very important to many small companies, as the costs due to inadequate health and safety management can be very large. It is estimated that losses due to inadequate health and safety management in Europe are over 10 billion ECU per year. In response, the EU and member state government agencies have greatly increased the amount of legislation, guidelines and regulations on health and safety. SMEs have to comply with the legislation as do larger companies, but without the depth of resources, which causes a lot of problems. SMEs need a practical set of tools to cope with the health and safety management and help them to comply with legislation. The results of the project will be a software-based toolset which will fully support the operational management of an effective health and safety management system. This will bring with it, benefits of a structured approach to health and safety management, more efficient working and access to the most up-to-date relevant health and safety information. The ITSAFE toolset will comprise an simple enterprise description module and health and safety planner to assist SMEs in setting up an efficient health and safety system. SMEs will be able to document their procedures and guidelines using the ITSAFE system. Having done this, they will be able to monitor the health and safety activities and ensure that personnel are correctly trained for the health and safety tasks which they have to perform. ITSAFE will also have an up-to-date health and safety reference model, consisting of the EU and national

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Sixth Framework proposal on 'Optimised radar to find every buried utility in the street'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project addresses the requirement for advanced technologies for locating; maintaining and rehabilitating buried infrastructures (area II.3.3). Specifically it fulfils the requirement for locating buried assets. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is the only known non-invasive technique that can detect metallic and non-metallic buried objects, but conventional pulse time-domain technology has reached the limit of its development potential. This project will use innovative techniques to provide a clear advance in the state of the art.The project has three major objectives:-To provide a step change in the depth penetration and spatial resolution of GPR used for surveys carried out from the ground surface. This will be achieved by increasing the frequency and dynamic range of the radar by researching and developing Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave techniques and ultra wide-band antennas whose performance is independent of ground characteristics.-To prototype an innovative GPR-based real-time obstacle detection system for steerable bore- heads of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) pipe and cable laying systems so that they can operate more safely below ground. This will require new antenna designs to be developed to provide a look-ahead capability and robust systems to be designed to protect against the hostile mechanical environment-To increase knowledge of the electrical behaviour of the ground, by means of in-situ measurements to enhance understanding of the sub-soil electrical environment, and to provide information for scientifically based antenna design.The project will lead to practical solutions that can be implemented cost-effectively to provide a capability to locate buried infrastructure with accuracy and reliability. This will reduce the need for excavations

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Cross-Diffusion and pattern formation in reaction diffusion systems' (CROSSDIFFUSIONROSSI).

assistant: **Concept**

We propose to study spatiotemporal patterns that occur in chemically reacting systems as a result of cross-diffusion, the phenomenon whereby gradients in the concentration of one species affect the diffusion of another species. Patterns that arise by this mechanism appear to constitute a new class of self-organized structures that lies between thermodynamically stable structures like micelles or membranes and patterns like Turing structures or standing waves that exist only far from equilibrium. Our initial theoretical studies indicate that patterns induced by cross-diffusion can arise in quite simple reactions without the need for an activator-inhibitor couple. The predicted characteristic sizes of these patterns - tens to hundreds of nanometers with diffusion-controlled reactions - suggest their potential application in nanotechnology. We shall first reexamine patterns in such systems as the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in AOT microemulsions and lipid membranes, the chlorite-iodide-malonic acid reaction and the ferrocyanide-iodate-sulfite reaction. Next, we shall apply numerical and analytic techniques to simple model systems with appropriate cross-diffusion coefficients to establish both the concentration dependence of cross-diffusion coefficients and the range of pattern formation to be expected. We will also make needed modifications to the Taylor dispersion method for measuring cross-diffusion coefficients in multi-component systems and apply this approach to systems containing both unreactive and reactive species. Combining the results obtained from these three approaches, we will carry out experiments to find novel patterns induced by cross-diffusion, i.e., we will tune cross-diffusion fluxes to generate patterns.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'PORE SPACE INVESTIGATION IN NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL MATERIALS'.

assistant: **Innovation**

This program aims to associate competences on: • petrographic knowledge of rocks, cements, soils… (HYDRASA, Poitiers, France) ; this is supported by the control of appropriate techniques like X-ray diffractometry, Scanning electron microscopy equipped with EDS system, X-ray microtomography among other techniques allowing petrographic investigations from micrometric to centimetric scale.  • characterization of heterogeneous spatial porosities of these materials using impregnation technique with a 14C- or 3H  PolyMethylMethAcrylate (PMMA) resin (HYRL, Helsinki, Finlande) ; The method includes impregnation of matrices with unviscous methylmethacrylate MMA (liquid), irradiation polymerisation and autoradiographic detection of the sawn surfaces. The porosity can be analysed quantitatively using subsequent image analyses techniques • providing service for industry needing 3D models of their materials (SME ERM, Poitiers, France).  The fulfilment of the POSINAM project requires the transfer of knowledge from public centres (HYDRASA and HYRL) to private one (SME ERM) in order to build a technical plate-form devoted to the integration of the methodology leading to the production of 3D models.

user: Describe how 'Matrix degrading macrophages in cancer growth and invasion' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Solid tumors consist of malignant cancer cells in constant interaction with the extracellular matrix and different types of non-malignant cells. Notably, these cells include macrophages which, during cancer progression, take part in an extensive degradation of the extracellular matrix. This process leads to destruction of the normal tissue and facilitates metastatic spread.It is now evident that tumor-infiltrating macrophages have a strong impact on cancer progression and this has led to the suggestion that therapeutic targeting of these cells could form the basis of a powerful new type of cancer treatment.  However, there is a strong need for increased understanding of the function of these tumor-associated macrophages in order to optimize the development of such new therapy. Most importantly, different subtypes of macrophages exist, but how these subtypes affect cancer progression and whether they contribute to the cancer-associated extracellular matrix degradation is very incompletely understood.In this proposed project I aim to elucidate the exact role of different subtypes of macrophages for cancer progression and for the accompanying extracellular matrix degradation. By using several experimental state-of-the-art techniques, I will directly examine the effect of different subtypes of macrophages on cancer growth and invasion. These techniques include two-photon microscopy, flow cytometry based cell sorting, next-generation sequencing, cell biology assays, and mouse genetic engineering. In particular, I am currently developing transgenic mice that allow both the visualization of specific macrophage subsets using fluorescence microscopy and the specific depletion of these cell populations. When combined with tumor models, these mice will provide unique insight about

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Plmcn'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of this project is to organise two high-level international conferences on the physics of light-matter coupling in nitrides (PLMCN). These two meetings will continue the series started by the first international conference on PLMCN organised in October 2000 in St-Nectaire (France) by the authors of the present proposal. The aim of these meetings is to stimulate the studies of the fundamental physics of light-matter interactions in wide-gap III-V semiconductors (gallium nitride and related materials). They will be combined with the working meetings of the research-training network CLERMONT (Physics of Nitride Based Microcavities") and will allow the direct information exchange between the European scientists participating in the network and the leading specialists in this field from the USA, Japan, Russia and other countries. The invited speakers selected by the Program committee on the base of suggestions by the International Advisory committee will cover the subjects of growth, optical spectroscopy and theory of low-dimensional structures based on GaN. Keynote speakers from "Nichia", "Thomson", "Aixtron", "Gelcore", "Spectraphyisics", and "Toshiba" companies will provide the close contact with industrial research programs. The particular attention will be paid to the problem of observation of the strong-coupling regime between exciton and photon modes in GaN based microcavities, which is a major challenge for the international scientific community at present. The very large exciton binding energy in GaN is expected to permit to observe the strong coupling at room temperature that has never been done before in semiconductors. An intriguing opportunity of fabrication of a new opto-electronic device based on the stimulated scattering of exciton polaritons (recentl

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'A diagnostics platform for dengue fever and mosquito-borne diseases' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

BluSense Diagnostics has developed an innovative nanotechnology-based point-of-care blood testing platform for detecting dengue fever. With a single drop of blood, we can within minutes and with very high accuracy, test whether patients have been infected with dengue fever. The technology will be a major step forward in the treatment of dengue in areas around the world, where dengue is a serious threat. In 2016, more than 330m people were tested positive for dengue, and the number is growing. Our first dengue diagnostic blood-test will be ready for sales in Q2 2018.The overall objective of the project is to enable BluSense to move from a single and narrow product (ViroTrack Dengue Acute) produced in low-volumes, to a full diagnostic dengue platform (Virotrack Dengue Combo) produced on a high-throughput automated line, and to facilitate the market entry with pre-sales activities in terms of e.g. local regulatory approval and training. With the Virotrack Dengue Combo platform we can not only diagnose if patients are infected with dengue, but also test the severity of the infection. Hence is becomes much easier to advice the right treatment. Beyond this project, the aim is to further develop the Virotrack Dengue Combo platform into a generic infectious diseases platform.If the project is successful, Virotrack Dengue Combo can be launched in the market right after the 24-month project period, mid 2020.  We furthermore aim at going break-even in 2021 and at that time employ 53 full-time employees, up from approx. 30 today.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'From molecule to percept: Linking olfactory perception to olfactory receptor dynamics' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

As a neurobiologist in a physics lab, I developed during my Phd new techniques to study neuronal networks in culture and understand the dynamics of their electrical activity. My work was a pioneer attempt to identify neurons, characterize their synapses and model neuronal networks dynamics in vitro.My plan is now to apply my skills for understanding how neuronal activity is processing a sensory perception, olfaction. The mammalian olfactory system can recognize and discriminate a large number of odorant molecules binding to specific receptors expressed by Olfactory Receptor Neurons (ORNs). Although the family of receptor genes has been cloned, we are still unable to predict how an odorant smells given its molecular structure.One difficulty lies in the fact that the olfactory system hasn't evolved to classify odors based on chemical groups, but to solve essential living problems. In addition most studies are performed on animals, which cannot express their perception of odorants. Human subjects can express their perception, as well as compare and contrast odors based on intensity and quality descriptors. My project consists in taking advantage of this information to combine cognitive and cellular approaches in the same human subjects.First, I will initiate in Pr. Sobel's lab (UC Berkeley, USA) a culture of the human olfactory epithelium to study the properties of the response of human ORNs to odorants. In each human subject, I will corroborate the properties of ORNs responses with the profile of their olfactory perception using psychophysics.Then, I will set up the culture of human ORNs with Dr Bensafi in the laboratory of Neurosciences and Sensory Systems (CNRS, Lyon) and focus on testing the central versus peripheral mechanism of plasticity occurring during olfactory l

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Innovative techniques to increase resistance to earthquakes of cultural heritage buildings and to reduce the impact' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Foreseen ResultsThe final fall-out of this project should be a global and rational reference plan for the management of conservation actions to achieve maximum safety both for monuments and visitors. The envisaged procedure is largely applicable to other important structural systems, such as dams, bridges and nuclear plants.The monitoring techniques and restoration procedures can be applied to many countries outside Europe subjected to seismic risk.The proposed research project is concerned with historical buildings subjected to seismic risk and is meant as a contribution towards the conservation of the cultural heritage, area of mutual interest for all countries. A large number of monuments and significant buildings have suffered from serious damages caused by past earthquakes and are located in critical areas. Although many research activities have been carried out in the field of earthquake engineering, it is felt that a comprehensive approach based on the interaction between non destructive investigations and recent modelling techniques should give an important contribution to the conservation of historical buildings subjected to seismic loads and should lead to identify optimal restoration procedures on a cost effective basis. For the development of the project, two major monuments are proposed : the Gracarjev turn" castle (near Ljubljana) in Slovenia which was elected national centre of ICOMOS-International Council of Monuments and Sites, by UNESCO and a church in Romania, representing one of the 1200 churches which, at present, are not safeguarded and are often endangered, from the structural point of view, by frequent earthquakes. These monuments are representative examples of difference typologies of the European monuments. Indeed, they are made of masonry, rig

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Droughts and Water Scarcity in the EU: Economic Impact, Adaptation, Policy Implications and Integrated Assessment Modelling' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Drought risks and water scarcity are expected to intensify as a result of human-induced climate change. Some areas in Europe, notably the Mediterranean countries are more prone to prolonged drought spells than others. Understanding and properly measuring the overall and sector-wide economic impact of those episodes at the geographically most disaggregated level is of crucial importance for the design of disaster risk management instruments and other policy-related issues. At the same time, it becomes necessary to assess whether this response varies over time. In other words, we need to know whether we are somehow adapting to climate change. Adaptation in the context of climate change is a concept that raises many questions: empirical estimates are scarce and highly desired by scientists and institutions like the IPCC; how this adaptation mechanism can be embedded into economic models of climate change is also an unresolved issue. I will try to address both in this project.The objective of my research is twofold: on the one hand, obtain quantitative measures of the economic impact of droughts and test for the existence of adapting behaviour and, on the other hand, respond the demands of the IPCC that urge for progress in the integration and modelling of adaptation into climate-economy models. To do so, in a first stage I will apply econometric techniques envisaged by the new climate-economy literature to regional, European-wide data to obtain estimates of the economic consequences of droughts and unveil potential adapting behaviour. Then, I will resort to sophisticated climate-economy models, like CGE and IAM models, to shed light into the modelling of adapting behaviour under deterministic and stochastic scenarios.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Maritime transport co-ordination platform' (MTCP), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

MTCP is a proposal for a co-ordination action in maritime transport. MTCP addresses the need to enhance the relevance of the activities and expertise of Europe's maritime technology, research, education, information and analysis organisations, to matters of maritime policy related to sustainable surface transport, European competitiveness and safe, secure and efficient operation.The concept of the platform is a managed activity open to a wide range of European organisations.The activities and the membership have both fixed elements (for continuity) and flexible, adaptive parts in order to respond to changing policy imperatives over the life of the coordination action. A key feature is the engagement of stakeholders from customers, industry and government. General coverage of maritime transport will be achieved by seven expert groups spanning the domain, reviewing developments, forecasting for their area and recommending areas that need deeper study in support of policy (30% of budget).
