user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Does implementation matter? Informal administration practices and shifting immigrant strategies in four member-states' (IAPASIS).

assistant: **Concept**

The success of immigration policies in the EU has to date been doubtful and policy outcomes differ greatly between countries in spite of considerable convergence at the decision level. Our aim in this study is to highlight some of the mechanisms involved in policy implementation, which may account for the differential degrees of success in achieving the desired goals (i.e. control and integration). The focus of the research will be on the impact of the organisational culture of an institution and of the identity processes related to immigration on the implementation of specific policies. Moreover, the study will analyse how immigrants make sense of the social and institutional environment of the host country and adapt to it. Our aim is to reveal some of the weaknesses of current policy approaches to immigration and suggest alternative paths. Four countries (Germany, Greece, Italy, and UK) will be included in the project and a comparative, European perspective will be adopted.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'PiedPiper®: smart pest control' (PiedPiper) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The global rat population is estimated to be at 60 Billion (i.e. 8 rats/human), causing growing socioeconomic, health and environmental problems. PiedPiper Technology is a revolutionary safe and humane pest control system for the control of rats, mice and other pest populations. It is the first solution that does not rely on the ingestion of toxin by rodents. It comprises a novel pest control device (PCD) incorporating an aerosol that delivers a metered dose of toxin onto the back of the rodent sufficient to kill in one application. The toxin passes through the skin and a quick and humane death results within 48 hours (compared to weeks with currently available products) to ensure that future populations of rodents will not develop resistance to the new toxin. This is a breakthrough versus the current multi-feed anticoagulants that are creating a growing problem of highly toxin resistant rodents (super rats). Our low cost formulation is based on cholecalciferol, which is lethal to rodents but safe for humans and other species. It has proven 100% effective in independent trials and, unlike current products, leaves no environmental residues. To gear up for a dominant position in the growing global rodenticides market- forecast to be worth over $ 1004.72 million by 2021- we will scale up our PCD for mass production, establish aerosol production, create an IoT platform of cloud connected devices for remote monitoring and predictive pest control management, obtain regulatory approvals for opening key markets in EU, US, Japan and Australasia. In the Phase 1, we will perform a market study to quantify the size of the global market and the segments we can target, expected market share, go-to-market strategy, revenue models and 5 year sales projections and KPIs.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Local fertiliser production by plasma treatment'.

assistant: **Concept**

N2 Applied (N2) is a Norwegian technology company with a mission to fundamentally improve global food production by increasing yield and reducing emissions. N2 has developed a patented technology, SmartNitroFarm, that enables local production of environment-friendly fertiliser using slurry or digestate, air and electricity. SmartNitroFarm is a ground-breaking alternative to chemical fertilisers, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions,  reduces odour, stops ammonia loss and air pollution. These effects are proven through external field trials and research projects with renowned institutions. SmartNitrofarm significantly contributes to the Green Deal’s ambition to be the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, through providing a solution that implies a huge step in sustainable and circular agriculture. N2’s unique innovation uses plasma technology to increase the nutrient content in manure, giving increased yield to farmers. In addition, using SmartNitroFarm in Danish dairy farms, show a reduction in carbon footprint of 27% and a reduction of respiratory inorganics of 53%. The unique aspect is that we tackle the manure challenges related to nutrient loss and emissions at the source, solving major pain points for farmers. Funding from this EIC project is needed to bridge the gap from current technology level into a commercially attractive solution. N2 Applied holds proprietary know-how and IPR and technological competence that ensures a strong competitive advantage.The overall project objective is to commercialise SmartNitroFarm and thus ensure the succesful development of the SME N2 Applied AS. The project is divided into 5 work packages to prepare the solution for market entry: Production of pilot units and commercial design, on farm piloting, sustainability assessment

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Structure property relationships in calamitic metalloporphyrins' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

It was first discovered in Sheffield that disc-like metalloporphyrins can show fluid, rod-like mesophases by suitable synthetic modification and that unfavourable intermolecular Pi-Pi interactions, which led to high melting points, could be suppressed. The mixture of rod- and disc-like features in these molecules makes them attractive in the search for biaxial nematic mesophases, where very fast switching times are predicted. A systematic evaluation of the way in which the structure of these porphyrins determines both the mesophases formed and the temperature at which they exist is proposed. It is intended to study the effect of the terminal groups in the 5- and 15- positions which lend the porphyrins their rod-like character, the peripheral groups which exert some control over both the disc-like nature of the core and over the melting point, and ortho groups which appear to hold the key to low-melting points.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Complex landscape units for environmental assessment and modelling' (CLUE).

assistant: **Concept**

The overall objective is to develop and test a methodology to integrate landform elements within the landscape definition, in order to analyse and model the effects of spatial pattern on ecological phenomena.In details, this research projects has three distinct objectives:- To improve and test the automated system of classification of landform elements.- To set up a new methodology for delineation of the complex landscape units.- To use the complex landscape units to assess the ecological quality of sites and the change dynamics, tailored to the requirements of the environmental reporting in the NATURA2000 context.These objectives will be achieved based on innovative application of Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing techniques, which are integrated in order to create an original research workflow. A key concept in this research is the object-oriented image analysis.Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and satellite imagery will be basic inputs to create landform and land cover/land use maps, which will be then used for the delineation of complex landscape units. Landscape metrics applications will be performed to assess the ecological quality of sites. Change detection will be the tool to evaluate change dynamics. Mountainous and hilly environments in Romania, Germany and Austria will provide the study sites.The combination of candidate, host, supervisor and project are set to have synergistic effects. They fulfil the objectives of the Marie Curie initiative under FP6, to enhance mobility in particular of young researchers who advance novel ideas between European countries. The study of habitats, ecosystems and biological diversity has been identified as one of the priority areas in FP6.This project will significantly contribute to this priority b y structur

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Tracking Polluted Clouds: the Plausibility of a Strong Aerosol Cooling Effect on Earth’s Climate' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

Anthropogenic climate change is a tug-of-war with fossil fuels playing both sides of the field. Fossil fuel use emits both climate-warming greenhouse gases and climate-cooling aerosols. And aerosol impacts on clouds might have thus far masked a large fraction of greenhouse gas warming. If the aerosol cooling is strong, it implies 1) that the Earth’s climate is more sensitive to anthropogenic greenhouse gases than currently thought, and 2) reduced aerosol pollution has brought forward global warming. This project’s overarching hypothesis is that aerosol cooling is strong. I tackle this main hypothesis via the following specific hypotheses:- Thicker Clouds: Aerosols increase cloud thickness, challenging the current scientific understanding. - More Clouds: Cloud coverage and thickness consistently increase in response to aerosols due to suppressed precipitation.- Few Glaciated Clouds: The warming effect of anthropogenic aerosols glaciating supercooled clouds is weak compared to the cooling effects by thicker and more extensive clouds.To quantify poorly understood aerosol impacts on clouds, I will overlay remote sensing observations of clouds with anthropogenic air pollution hot spots in novel ways. Aerosols emitted by ships and industrial facilities induce polluted cloud tracks that serve as opportunistic experiments. By comparing the properties of polluted cloud tracks to those of nearby unpolluted clouds, I will infer the causal impact of aerosols on clouds. As the heart of the project, I will create an observatory to identify more than twelve million weak and strong cloud perturbations induced by aerosols from air pollution hot spots. A unique combination of weak and strong aerosol perturbations on clouds will allow me to quantify the least understood aerosol impacts on

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'The oldest and the rarest - combining insight from both hemispheres to gain a global picture of baleen whale origins and macroevolution' (MYSTICETI) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Baleen whales (Mysticeti), the largest animals on earth, are a spectacular example of evolutionary adaptation and, as predators and nutrient distributors, a major component of the modern ocean ecosystem. Their relatively good fossil record, large ecological impact and the existence of extant species as a source of comparative data make mysticetes an ideal macroevolutionary case study – promising fundamental insights into the interaction between biodiversity, evolution, and the physical environment. Previous research into the mode and tempo of baleen whale evolution has been hampered by a historical data bias towards the Northern Hemisphere, poor taxon sampling, and disjunct methodologies. I propose to address these issues through (1) targeted sampling of Southern Hemisphere fossil material to create the most comprehensive and most balanced dataset on mysticete morphology to date; (2) the application of cutting-edge phylogenetic methods, including new Bayesian techniques to simultaneously infer phylogeny, divergence dates, evolutionary rates and ancestral body size; (3) reconstructing past mysticete diversity, disparity (morphological diversity) and shifts in their rate of diversification, as well as ancestral geographic ranges and dispersal patterns; and (4) integrating all available data and results with palaeoenvironmental proxies to test whether mysticete evolution has been driven by environmental change. This project will create a benchmark for future studies as one of the most comprehensive and multifaceted macroevolutionary syntheses for any major vertebrate clade, and provide profound insights into evolutionary processes and the workings of the marine ecosystem.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'AQUA4D, for an efficient use of irrigation water', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Population growth, climate change and limitations of natural resources mean that agriculture must become more productive, efficient and environmentally sound. Within this need for improved agricultural production, irrigation plays a crucial role. However, there is a clear need for AgTEch solutions applied to irrigation systems in order to achieve sustainable agricultural practices, specially for large crops (cereals, oilseeds and pulses) which dominates the crops market. AQUA4D-HR is an innovative electromagnetic water treatment that allows an accurate modification of the irrigation water structure to optimize the irrigation process and achieve key benefits for water use, crops yield and soil quality. AQUA4D-HR is designed as a simple, cost-effective and environmentally friendly system suitable for large crops irrigation (cereals, oilseeds and pulses) in pivot irrigation systems (high water flow rates).AQUA4D-HR will achieve key benefits for large crops farmers: up to 25% water savings, up to 30% in fertilizer savings; up to 20% increased crop production and reduction of soil salinity and mineral crystallization in the rhizosfere, thus allowing a sustainable cultivation. Moreover, AQUA4D-HR will be affordable for end-users, with ROI < 3 years

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Science & Innovation policy in DEbate: COnditions for MaxiMised socIetal ouTputs through mulTi lEvEl analysis', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The EU-28’s yearly public Research and Development (R&D) expenditure amounts to more than EUR 100 billion,  which must be used in an efficient, impact-driven yet fair way. Funding mechanisms and policies have thus considerably evolved in the last few decades, sometimes with adverse effects. The resulting intense budget scrutiny puts pressure on all categories of actors: at policy (decision makers); implementation (researchers); and receiver (general public) levels, generating category-specific issues and biases that hinder creating optimal funding mechanisms and policies. To provide a solution, this project develops an innovative public engagement approach inspired by participative democracy theory and practices. It will produce for the first time an unbiased mapping of the agendas and needs of all three actor categories and use it to delineate relevant policy recommendations. This ambitious objective will be achieved by focusing on the French system, taking advantage of the research-intensive area of Grenoble where the beneficiary is located. In practice, the Experienced Researcher (ER) will produce a review of the state of the art of public R&D funding mechanisms and policies in France, define the public engagement and debate technique to be used, before implementing it upon 3 separate groups --one for each actor category-- over a period of 1.5 years. This innovative, multi-disciplinary research process and its outcome will be valorised through academic and outreach communications as well as dialogue with relevant national and European stakeholders. This project, marking the return of the ER to a research career in Europe after years working abroad as a practitioner in international relations and research management, features a comprehensive suite of scientific and tr

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Towards an improved animal phylogeny: Congruence between morphology and molecules in basal metazoans' (PHYLOBAS).

assistant: **Innovation**

Comparative zoology is predicated on the assumption of a phylogenetic history. Today, phylogenetics relies on using explicit algorithmical methods to infer the past from features of contemporary species, with the fossil record as the only window to the history of life on our planet. A new field of research, called phylogenomics, uses large numbers of sequences to reconstruct the evolutionary history of organisms. Genomic data may palliate phylogenetic problems caused by sampling effects by expanding the number of characters for comparisons from hundreds to thousands. The congruence of results obtained from various data sets and/or various methods is the key validation of evolutionary inference. The value of morphology to corroborate and understand metazoan phylogeny and body plan evolution is now incontestable. It is the scientific aim of this project to resolve the phylogeny of basal metazoans using a phylogenomic approach and corroborating the results with morphological data of basal animals.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Modelling multimedia fate and exposure of organic chemicals' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The training program is for Gertje Czub, a very talented young researcher who has developed a unique bioaccumulation model to predict human tissue levels of organic contaminants from their concentrations in the physical environment. The training program consists of two research topics.   The goal of the first topic is to assemble, evaluate, and apply a bioaccumulation model to predict human tissue levels of brominated flame retardants from their levels in the physical environment. In order to achieve this, the model created by the applicant will be further developed by enhancing the description of pharmacokinetics and adding a new module to describe exposure via inhalation of particles. After an intensive evaluation for PBDEs the model will be linked to a multimedia fate model and used to evaluate how human tissue levels of PBDEs and other flame retardants can be expected to respond to different emissions scenarios in the future.   The second topic will investigate the hypothesis that shelf sediments, the primary global sink of persistent organic pollutants, are an important secondary source of these chemicals that markedly increases their residence time in the environment. An existing state-of-the-art regional multimedia fate model will be modified to accommodate a dynamic model of the organic carbon cycle in marine coastal waters that the applicant will develop. Following evaluation of the modified multimedia fate model using PCBs as test chemicals, model experiments will be conducted to see how varying the shelf sediment properties influences overall chemical fate.   A third component of the training program will give the applicant new skills to judge the quality of organic contaminant data. This rounds out a program that is carefully matched to the applicants needs
