user: Explain how 'European Conferences on Networks and Communications (EuCNC)' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

It is the purpose of EuConNeCts3, a Supporting Action, to organise the following 2 editions, 2018 and 2019, of the EC sponsored conference in the area of communication networks and systems (EuCNC - European Conference on Networks and Communications), continuing the successful organisation of this conference since 2014.  EuCNC will continue to serve as a technical and scientific conference for researchers, namely European ones, to show their work in the area of Telecommunications, focusing on communication networks and systems, and also reaching services and applications.  The conference will not be restricted to European researchers, rather aiming at attracting others from all the other regions in the world.  It will also serve as a showcase for the work developed by projects co-financed by the EC, namely those arising from H2020 calls, and more specifically, those addressing 5G and beyond.  Nonetheless, it also aims at attracting works in the area of communication networks and systems from other objectives.  EuCNC will: 1) be a European conference, but with a large international dimension; 2) showcase the R&D activities performed within EC programmes, directly and indirectly; 3) showcase the cooperation in R&D between European organisations and worldwide ones; 4) bridge between academia / research centres and industry; 5) coordinate its goals with the EC and the main European players; 6) be a high-quality R&D conference; 7) be a well-recognised conference in Telecommunications; 8) provide a forum for the presentation of state-of-the-art technology, in both theoretical and experimental forms; 9) communicate the research results to the wide audience of the general public; 10) foster the participation of both established researchers and students, as well as industry membe

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Molecular Analysis of Synapse Formation, Maintenance and Disassembly at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The refinement of neuronal circuits requires both a stabilization of existing synaptic connections and a disassembly of previously functional synapses. While the mechanisms of synapse formation have been extensively studied, very little is known about the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the stabilization of synaptic connections. Any inappropriate loss of synaptic stability will lead to disruptions of neuronal circuits and finally to neurodegenerative disease. Therefore, the identification of the molecular mechanisms that regulate synapse stability versus disassembly may help to understand how synaptic circuits are modified in response to signaling events and may provide useful insights towards our understanding of neurodegenerative disease. I am combining the advantages of Drosophila genetics, cell biology and physiology with a high-resolution assay for synapse retraction to identify and characterize genes involved in synapse formation, stability and disassembly. My postdoctoral work has highlighted the importance of a presynaptic cytoskeletal network that links cell adhesion molecules to the underlying actin and microtubule cytoskeleton to achieve normal synapse formation and stability. Here I propose to define the signaling systems that control the assembly and stability of the presynaptic network during synapse formation and maintenance. In the first aim I will focus on the adaptor molecule Ankyrin2 that has the potential to directly link synaptic cell adhesion molecules to the presynaptic microtubule cytoskeleton. The second aim addresses how actin dynamics contribute to normal synapse formation and stability. Finally, I will use forward genetic approaches to identify novel molecules required for synaptic stability. Together these projects will provide

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Improve abrasion properties and increased useful life of uhmwpe* hip and knee prothesis, using electron beam irradiation.' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of the Craft project is to improve the mechanical characteristics, mainly the ABRASION resistance of UHMWPE*, a material fully tested for its use in prothesis, by optimizing a new cross-linking process: electron beam irradiation. The SME proposers are interest on industrially exploit the results of the RTD project. The use of lighter and inert materials in prothesis, with mechanical properties similar to metals has become known over the last years. The range of materials which fulfill these requirements is very limited, but have been evolving with time, now using metal combined with plastic or plastic prothesis. UHMWPE* is one of the materials which best fulfils these requirements, and is the most widely used in its category. However it has inherent chemical problems, such as its limited abrasion resistance, which generates abrasion problems and can cause problems such as osteolysis, reduced mobility;..... not desirable in human body. Research carried out in this area over the last five years has enabled improvements in abrasion resistance, but they have not reached totally satisfactory solutions. The objective of this project is to reduce abrasion to practically zero in UHMWPE* hip and knee prothesis, by electron beam irradiation of the material. This technique is based on a clean energy, unlike gamma radiation (the most commonly used...

user: Draft an impact statement for 'It's about time: Towards a dynamic account of natural vision.', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The visual world around us is a source of rich semantic information that guides our higher-level cognitive processes and actions. To tap into this resource, the brain?s visual system engages in complex, intertwined computations to actively sample, extract, and integrate information across space and time. Surprisingly however, the integrative nature of vision hardly plays a role in the way we approach it in experimentation and computational modelling. Instead, higher-level vision is commonly treated as a largely bottom-up categorization process. TIME proposes a new approach. It will allow us to study vision in a more natural setting and as a process that is (a) geared towards semantic understanding instead of label-based categorisation, (b) naturally intertwined with active information sampling and (c) expanding across multiple timeframes, including network dynamics that unfold within and across eye fixations. This will be accomplished by an ambitious, three-step work program that combines cutting-edge non-invasive human brain imaging performed while participants visually explore tens of thousands of rich human-annotated natural scenes, the development of novel multivariate analysis techniques, and large-scale computational modelling using a new bio-inspired deep learning framework for active vision that closes the sensory-motor loop. Using this interdisciplinary approach, TIME will establish, for the first time, when, where, and how visual semantic understanding emerges in the brain as it actively samples and integrates information from the world in a continuously updating and dynamic decision process. These ground-breaking developments both in experimentation and deep neural network modelling build towards a fundamental paradigm shift in how we study, model, and unders

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOSCOPY APPLICATIONS FOR STANDARDS IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND RESEARCH'.

assistant: **Innovation**

GASTER will make it easier to exchange information recorded in digestive disease diagnosis, by storing it in a multimedia database in the form of standard electronic images and descriptive terminology. After collecting this validated material from separate units in a European electronic network, the project database will be used for the development of computer applications. Pooling of expert information on the treatment of digestive disorders will result in improved care. The database may also support decisions on treatment in individual cases, making it faster and more cost-effective.Digestive endoscopy is currently the main diagnostic procedure for investigation of the digestive tract whenever a digestive disease is suspected. In the years 1970-1985, digestive endoscopy was performed with endoscopes equipped with fiberoptic bundles while the last decade was marked by the development of electronic endoscopes, characterized by the presence of a CCD (charge coupled device) at the tip of the endoscope. Therefore, the physician looks at a TV screen to control the procedure and examine in detail the gut wall. Endoscopes examine the foregut until the duodenum and the hingut, up to the 3 last intestinal loops. When the endoscopic workstation comprises a computer, it is possible to acquire electronic images during the endoscopy and use these images as support of the information about the results of the procedure. These numeric images can then be stored in databases containing text attached to them. Starting from these images, one can expect many development for the near future, that will change the management of the patient with digestive diseases. Physicians will become able to exchange images and text related to one patient or one procedure, although they are equipped with d

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Iodine chemistry and mitigation methods' (ICHEMM).

assistant: **Concept**

Reliable models for the behaviour of iodine in a reactor containment following a severe nuclear reactor accident are essential to predicting the potential release to the environment, and thus to developing and qualifying appropriate mitigation strategies and devices. Whilst most aspects of iodine chemistry are now adequately understood, particularly for PWR conditions, some outstanding issues remain. Firstly, some processes leading to the destruction of volatile forms of iodine are not well quantified. Improved knowledge of these destruction rates will allow their importance to be assessed, in terms of natural mitigation processes and accident management interventions. Secondly, effects on iodine behaviour of certain materials and conditions, specific to BWR systems, are unknown. Understanding these specific effects will allow data and models developed mainly for PWR systems to be applied with confidence to BWR source term predictions.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Ultrabroad bandwidth light sources based on nano-structuring devices' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The key objective of this project is to develop optical broad bandwidth sources using the unique properties of multilayer quantum dots structures and nonlinear photonic crystal fibres for bio-photonics applications. The proposal presents a unique synergy between nanotechnology, information science and technology and life sciences.  The source development is targeted at biomedical applications such as: * Optical coherence tomography (OCT): an emerging, non-invasive, imaging technology for diagnosis (age macular degeneration; skin cancer) * Medical instrumentation based on spectroscopy  For OCT in particular, the lack of optical bandwidth in available commercial technology is the main bottle-neck in achieving ultra-high resolution imaging systems. Addressing this issue enables successful penetration of this important diagnostic tool into hospital clinics.  To overcome this bottle-neck, we propose to develop a breakthrough technology based on innovative concepts. The core technology development in the project is based on the most recent scientific advances in quantum dot materials. The use of these nanoscale strained islands provides the unequalled advantages of access to wavelengths and to broadband gain spectra not reachable by quantum well technology, thus overcoming the limiting bottle-neck of current laser sources.  Two pathways will be investigated for achieving large optical bandwidth with sufficient power levels together with high beam quality and low noise: * Quantum dot (QD) superluminescent diodes and wavelength multiplexed QD superluminescent diodes * High peak power, pulsed QDs lasers, based on mode locking, for the pumping of nonlinear photonic crystal fibres to achieve significant spectral broadening  The resulting developments from this project will enable

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Advanced Coordination Paradigms for FiWi Enhanced HetNets and Smart Grid Applications', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Converged fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks may be viewed as the endgame of broadband access. Most of the past layer-2 and layer-3 FiWi research activities have been focusing on cascaded Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) and WLAN-mesh networks, or to a lesser extent also WiMAX. In this proposed research project, we explore new interdisciplinary possibilities and investigate novel ways of exploiting low-cost Ethernet based FiWi access networks to address key open research challenges of emerging 3GPP LTE-Advanced heterogeneous networks (HetNets). The objectives of the research project are threefold. First, we design and investigate high-capacity low-latency next-generation PON based mobile backhaul infrastructures with direct communications between collocated optical network units and base stations or WiFi access points as well as multi-failure recovery capabilities. Second, we develop and evaluate the performance of advanced traffic steering techniques based on cell association, biasing, re-selection, and dual-mode user equipment assisted base station/access point switching and combine them with real-time self-healing techniques to develop self-healing solutions for FiWi enhanced HetNets with multipath WiFi offloading capability of mobile data traffic. Third, we study the potential and involved technical challenges of enhancing FiWi access networks with wireless and passive fiber optic sensors to enable machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. We investigate the coexistence performance of event-driven M2M traffic and conventional human-to-human (H2H) traffic taking emerging low-power WiFi and Sub 1 GHz WLAN technologies into account and develop energy- and traffic-aware contention resolution and coordination techniques for event-driven M2M communications in FiW

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Disrupting the food safety chain. The decontamination unit that removes more than 99% of pathogenic bacteria during poultry meat slaughtering and processing', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Hygiene procedures to avoid the growth of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria within the food supply chain are only preventive since no better available decontamination methods exist, and their inefficiency is reflected by the high prevalence of foodborne outbreaks reported. In 2016, 356,6124 human cases of zoonoses were reported in the EU, with Salmonella and Campylobacter jejuni being responsible for most of them.DECON SFS is a Norwegian company led by Vidar Julien (communications and crisis management director at Nutreco NV for 10 years), created to develop and commercialize food decontamination technologies eliminating bacteria from poultry meat. The result of 8 years and € 4.5M is Deconizer (TRL6-7), a decontamination unit based on hydro thermal bacteriolysis (HTB) technology, which uses superheated steam in combination with a large electromagnetic field which charges the steam particles directing them towards the meat surface eliminating 99% of bacteria. Deconizer has been tested and validated in laboratory (at the Norwegian Food Research Institute, Nofima) and real operation conditions in the Spanish companies SADA and PUJANTE, confirming decontamination rates over 99%. Deconizer´s uniqueness relies in the reduction of carcasses cross-contamination, while having no impact on visual appearance, taste, smell or colour and extending products’ shelf life. Meat is still fresh, opposed to some preventive decontaminating methods relying on freezing and hot water.Given there are not big competitors on the market, we expect to sell at least 56 Deconizer units across slaughterhouse poultry processing plants in the first 3 years of commercialization to reach € 16.1 M of revenues (ROI of 4.2), while creating 10 direct new jobs. The IP generated, will also allow DECON SFS to exp

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Assessing the impact of timely antenatal care on maternal and newborn health using a novel computational model'.

assistant: **Objectives**

High quality antenatal care (ANC) can significantly reduce global maternal and newborn mortality. The World Health Organization (WHO) currently monitors the implementation of its new ANC model using the indicator of four or more ANC visits, but this approach has limitations, notably its failure to consider the timing of ANC interventions. Timing is critical, as many interventions are most effective when started early in pregnancy, which is often not the case in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) where women frequently initiate ANC late.InTime addresses this challenge by developing an innovative model based on evidence synthesis of randomised controlled trials on the impact of timing of key antenatal interventions on their effectiveness. The model integrates this data in the coverage of the interventions in 81 Countdown to 2030 priority countries, and further links it with health system readiness to deliver the modelled service, estimated using existing data from nationally representative health facility assessments in LMICs.For maximum impact, InTime implements the findings through a computational tool that has a world-wide coverage and is widely used by global organisations and governments to estimate the impact of scaling up maternal and child health interventions in LMICs. By quantifying the impact of untimely ANC on maternal and neonatal mortality in Countdown to 2030 priority countries, and making this data freely available globally, InTime will assist health policy makers and programme implementers in LMICs to analyse the quality and equity of ANC, locate ANC implementation bottlenecks, evaluate the effectiveness of new innovations for delivering ANC, and target valuable resources to where they are needed most, thus ultimately contributing to saving lives.The
