user: Draft an impact statement for 'TRAINING OF SMES TO BE SUCCESSFUL CO-ORDINATORS OF FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME PROJECTS', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The primary objective of SME-to-LEAD is to deliver high quality co-ordinator training to 360 European SMEs through a recognised certification and follow up support programme. The route for achieving this is to develop best practice guidance on project co-ordination for FP6 and FP7 focusing on SME specific needs. This will be delivered to SMEs in a series of high quality, intensive and modular training events and follow up support measures. The project will be cross-sectoral and trans-regional focusing on SME instruments targeting co-ordinators of funded projects and those involved in leading proposals or considering participation in future RTD programmes. The project team comprises 10 organisations from 10 EU countries, including 7 established members and 3 new members. Six partners are SME National Contact Points and represent a significant population of European SMEs. The core team has a significant depth of experience in framework programmes at many levels from proposal preparation and evaluation to project co-ordination and acting as PTAs and legal aides to other consortia. The RTO partners will develop the guidance and training programme and the NCPs will be responsible for facilitating delivery at the local level to SMEs. Partners have complementary roles by virtue of their specialist knowledge of FPs, diversity of industry sector and the regions in which they are located. The project has been scheduled over 36 months to enable maximum impact of the support action, particularly as the changeover between FP6 and FP7 occurs. Co-ordinator training will be provided to 360 SMEs likely to play key roles in developing and running future RTD projects. As well as encouraging and preparing SMEs from all EU regions to participate in FPs, it is estimated that securing this ad

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Green Crimes and Joint Crime Ventures: Laundering Natural Resources' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The high value and scarcity of natural resources increasingly attracts criminal entrepreneurs operating in the legal economy. The laundering of natural resources is a prime example where illegally obtained natural resources are converted into legal products. Consequently, consumers buy products, such as a gold wedding ring, a hardwood floor, or endangered species, as legitimate on the international market and unknowingly become part of a trade with devastating environmental effects. To facilitate laundering, crime groups interact with corporations and state actors, as joint crime ventures. The proposed research aims to understand how and why joint crime ventures launder natural resources and what the environmental impact is. Contemporary developments in environmental crime networks signal the expansion of grey areas of business where the separation between conventional and non-conventional criminals is no longer appropriate for understanding and dealing with the increasing complexities of environmental crime. Therefore, it is essential to develop an innovative approach to fill this theoretical and empirical gap. By analysing coercive, economic, and political interactions between crime groups, corporations, and state actors, this study will build a new line of research and reveal the causes, incentives, and environmental harms of laundering natural resources. The environmental impact of laundering is illustrated by rapidly disappearing rainforests, large-scale pollution, and the mass extinction of species. Yet, laundering natural resources has been the subject of rather limited study. This research introduces a novel combination of cluster analysis of environmental crime cases, multi-sited field research, and crime script analysis that ensures a unique mixed-method persp

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Cell Rejuvenation Therapy for Age-related Macular Degeneration', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause for blindness, resulting in loss of vision at the center of the visual field - the macula, due to damage to the retina. The disease, usually affecting older adults (>55), was diagnosed in 2020 in 196 million people worldwide, with an estimated economic toll of $343 billion including $255 billion in direct healthcare costs. In AMD, photoreceptors and retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) cells which underlie the photoreceptors undergo degeneration. The standard care is injections of anti-VEGF medicines such as ranibizumab (Lucentis), aflibercept (Eylea) and brolucizumab (Beovu) to the eye every 1-3 months. These delay disease progress but cannot restore lost vision, and have side effects such as bleeding in the eye. During an ERC Starting project, the PI has discovered a new method that would allow to not only delay the disease but to also improve RPE cells function as a treatment for AMD. The proposed approach to rescue RPE cells is rejuvenation by a technique called partial reprogramming. Our results suggest that the proposed technique is safe and efficient in rejuvenating mouse and human fibroblasts, and in improving their function. In the current application, through in vivo studies, we will prepare for implementing our novel approach in our envisioned product I-SEE. In I-SEE, we will aim to use our discovery of a unique combination of factors, that successfully reprogram cells, to drive aging RPE cells into rejuvenation and improved function. We will calibrate the expression of the reprogramming factors in RPE cells, and test rejuvenation and improved function in AMD mouse models. IPR and partnering with clinician and industry will be developed concomitantly. Our final product, I-SEE, is developed based on a PCT

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Oxygen flux measurements as a new tracer for the carbon and nitrogen cycles in terrestrial ecosystems'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Atmospheric oxygen (O2) measurements have proven to be one of the most powerful tools to study the carbon cycle at global scale, quantifying the carbon dioxide (CO2) sink of terrestrial ecosystems and oceans. At ecosystem level, O2 is closely related to CO2 through photosynthesis and respiration, and is influenced by sources of nitrogen during plant uptake. O2 thus carries valuable information about ecosystem processes that cannot be learned from CO2 alone. However, the potential of O2 measurements at ecosystem level has not been exploited. The major hindrance has been the technical challenges faced to measure atmospheric O2 at ppm level against a background concentration of 21%. Motivated by the enormous insights gained from O2 measurements at global level, and with the assistance of proven experts in O2 measurement, OXYFLUX will provide pioneering breakthroughs in both measurement techniques and scientificknowledge of terrestrial ecosystems. Specifically, OXYFLUX will perform the methodological, experimental and modelling work needed to develop O2 as a new tracer for carbon and nitrogen cycle processes at ecosystem level. We will establish the first research group worldwide to perform continuous O2 flux measurements at forest and agricultural field sites, using gas exchange chambers and micrometeorological approaches. These measurements will be utilised further in modellingwork where we will integrate O2 into two complementary terrestrial ecosystem models. This will provide the mechanistic understanding for a unique approach to (a) partition CO2 fluxes in e.g. forest ecosystems, (b) improve understanding of the carbon and nitrogen cycle in arable land, and (c) identify the sensitivity of O2 fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems to environmental change. OXYFLUX will firmly

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Micro-scale multiphase modelling of the microporous and gas diffusion layer using Lattice Boltzmann Method for Fuel Cells' (M3LBM), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Despite being a promising clean energy alternative to fossil fuels, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) suffer from significant energy losses as waste heat. Furthermore, the electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell produce water, which can accumulate in the microporous layer and gas diffusion layer (MPL-GDL). Inadequate heat and water management can lead to severe performance issues in PEMFCs, including membrane dehydration, ohmic losses, material degradation, and electrode flooding.Existing research often treats water transport and heat transfer separately, neglecting the complex interplay between these factors. Moreover, the gas flow within the porous MPL-GDL approaches the slip regime, where gas rarefaction effects become significant and traditional assumptions about velocity at the solid boundary no longer hold. This has a substantial impact on the multiphase thermal flow phenomena within the MPL-GDL.To gain a deeper understanding of these phenomena and develop strategies for improved PEMFC performance, this study proposes a comprehensive numerical investigation using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). LBM’s kinetic and particle-based approach has proven effective for modeling a wide range of complex fluid flows, including multiphase, nanofluid, magnetohydrodynamic, and complex flows at mesoscopic levels. By incorporating both flow and heat transfer, along with the consideration of gas rarefaction effects, this research aims to provide valuable insights into the behavior of the porous MPL-GDL and inform the design of enhanced materials and structures.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Genetic study of idiopathic generalized epilepsy' under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. The identification of chromosomal loci genetically linked to the epilepsy syndromes should lead to the identification of epilepsy-related genes, which in turn should allow a better understanding of both pathogenetic mechanisms of epilepsy and brain functioning. Among several types of epilepsies, human idiopathic generalized epilepsy seems to have an almost complete genetic etiology. The collection of large-pedigree families, the use of highly polymorphic microsatellites markers for genotyping analysis, and the subsequent statistical analyses of data, should allow the identification of human genomic regions in which candidate genes will be searched.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Advanced technologies for scanning and detection of illicit material  for postal services and express courier flows (iFlows Toolkit)' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

Preventing and fighting illicit material and dangerous substances postal and courier services flows in EU areas is of top priority. However, ensuring efficiency, speed and continuity in screening and detection tasks remains yet a challenge. Currently, custom, police and courier authorities involve a range of screening systems in place but there is still much to do in terms of detection efficacy and creation of intelligence towards risk and threat identification. On top of that, criminals or smugglers exploit the multitude of flows and easily spot security gaps that allow parcels or letters to be transported within or across EU with relative ease. To overcome these constraints, iFLOWS proposes a unique approach to assist customs, police and postal/courier services in preventing and detecting such crimes by improving operational readiness, enhancing situation awareness, reducing detection time, providing operational efficiency and achieving superior mission performance. iFLOWS will design, develop, integrate, test and validate a novel multi-tier synergistic Toolkit in enhancing intelligence extraction, screening and detection operations of illicit material and hazardous substances within courier and postal flows moving across and within EU borders. iFLOWS works upon these 3 building blocks to deliver a) a tailored to such operations C4I that boosts preparedness and cooperation be-tween police, customs and courier/postal services, b) enhanced Intelligence in terms of threats, risks and suspicious flows and c) novel detection technologies (i.e. THz Scanning system and UWB Scanner) featuring enhanced detection capabilities over a large span of illicit material and substances, which, coupled with advanced image-based feature extraction in combination to legacy systems (e.g. X

user: Explain how 'The mitochondrial genome of the fish parasite Gyrodactylus salaris - characterization and utility' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Gyrodactylus salaris, an ectoparasitic flatworm (Platyhelmininthes: Monogenea) of the Atlantic salmon, is recognised as a serious problem in all European countries with a Baltic or North Atlantic coastline. The possibility for effective control measures against G. salaris rests on reliable and practical methods of pathogen diagnosis but no strain-specific markers are available to date. Here we propose the full characterization of the mitochondrial genome of G.salaris and the closely related Macrogyrodactylus polypterus. Comparing both genomes will provide valuable information on the range of variation within the genus, allowing the selection of loci useful at the phylogenetic and population genetic level. Comparing G. salaris populations throughout the distribution range, will allow the design of diagnostic markers based on multiple SNPs. Subsequent optimisation of the SSCP reaction, in order to resolve multiple SNP sites within short mitochondrial fragments will ultimately allow rapid and reliable screening, through ABI Prism SNaPshot Multiplex genotyping. Whilst not the primary aims of the proposal, the results will serve as a basis for phylogenetics, mitogenomics and mitochondrial drug targeting. This proposal underpins an applied problem and therefore provides a real link between a modern biological(genomic) approach and an increasingly important research area worldwide, namely animal health and environmental monitoring. The proposal is founded in the fields of genomic, biotechnology as applied to(animal) health and sustainable development, providing the applicant a first rate training in a wide variety of molecular techniques.
