user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Global Education in Manufacturing - EUROPE' under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The focus of the project is to create enterprise and product architects that can implement digital business and extended products. Specifications for a curriculum in manufacturing strategy at Masters level will be developed. GEM-EUROPE will cover digital business along the supply chain, development of extended products and end of life planning and operation. It will have a modular structure allowing both training courses in industry and a full Master degree from a university.The curriculum will be designed to comply with industry's needs. To obtain this, surveys will be conducted in selected industries and best practices will be studied. Training and education will have to be delivered in a way compatible with peoples work situation, e.g. it will have to be off-campus rather than on-campus based. This calls for new pedagogic approaches and new ways of delivery of training and education. The delivery will use ICT tools over the internet. The training will be based on application of multimedia. The curriculum will be validated by a demonstrator and workshops with industrial participation. It will be published on web and documented in a booklet.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Cooperative Cognitive Control for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) represent one of the most challenging frontiers for robotics research. AUVs work in an unstructured environment and face unique perception, decision, control and communications difficulties. Currently, the state of the art is dominated by single AUVs limited to open-sea preplanned trajectories with offline postprocessing of the data gathered during the mission. The use of multiple AUVs as propagated in this project is still in a very early research phase. Some of the research issues addressed in this project are even completely uncharted territory, especially the development of functionalities to seamlessly monitor critical underwater infrastructures and to detect anomalous situations (e.g., missions related to harbour safety and security) and the study of advanced AUVs capable of interacting with humans to perform such functions as companion/support platforms during scientific and commercial dives. The aim of the Co3-AUVs project is to develop, implement and test advanced cognitive systems for coordination and cooperative control of multiple AUVs. Several aspects will be investigated including 3D perception and mapping, cooperative situation awareness, deliberation and navigation as well as behavioral control strictly linked with the underwater communication challenges. As a result, the team of AUVs will cooperate in challenging scenarios in the execution of missions where all data is online processed. In doing so, the team will be robust with respect to failures and environmental changes. These key features will be tested in a harbor scenario where additional difficulties with respect to open sea applications arise and in a human diver assistance scenario that also illustrates human robot interaction issues.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Organometallic Palladium(III) Polymer and CopolymerAssemblies for Superconductivity' (III) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The main objective of the proposal is the synthesis of new one-dimensional Pd(III) nanowires constituted of a metallic core and of an organic shell. These wires are potential room-temperature superconductors. Two generations of wires can be identified. The first-generation wires display Pd(III)-Pd(III) bonds as a backbone and stabilizing conventional organic ligands: they are organometallic polymers and possess limited solubility and stability above -50°C. The second-generation wires also display Pd(III)-Pd(III) bonds as a backbone, but at least one stabilizing conventional ligand has been replaced by a polymer-functionalized ligand which will enhance both solubility and stability of the wires: they are organometallic copolymers. The possibility to access various morphologies with the new block copolymers should allow for targeting several applications, in fast digital circuits for example, as novel superconductors.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'CLImate Mitigation and Bioeconomy pathways for sustainable FORESTry' (CLIMB-FOREST), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

CLIMB-FOREST suggests alternative sustainable short-, mid-, and long-term pathways for the forest sector to mitigate climate change in entire Europe, considering preservation of biodiversity, ecosystem services, bioeconomy, socioeconomic factors, use of long-lived wood products, and barriers for change. It will have long-term impact by creating attitude change in the policymaking process in the EU and influence foresters to adopt to new forest management strategies. This is accomplished through several work packages closely interrelated: We aim to 1) make a conclusive map of current forestry and management in Europe, 2) gather data and enhance process understanding of carbon uptake, sinks and other factors impacting on climate at intensively researched forest field site infrastructures, 3) quantify the bioeconomy, and customer and forest industry preferences for alternative wood products and management practices, 4) perform pan-European modelling of scenarios, and the environmental and climate impact of alternative pathways for European forestry, 5) ensure adaptation to new management strategies and forest preservation owing to intense field site visits in geographically representative locations in Europe, and 6) synthesize and disseminate the CLIMB-FOREST outcomes tailored for impact on the entire forest sector.The unique strength of the CLIMB-FOREST initiative and the potential to secure future impact, lies mainly in four crucial factors; 1) the unprecedented mapping of current forestry, management and carbon sequestration, 2) the quantification of all biogeochemical and biophysical processes in the forest, which is instrumental to the understanding of climate effects in the forest, 3) the beyond the state-of-the-art modelling that involves all socioeconomic and physi

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Direct and indirect biorefinery technologies for conversion of organic side-streams into multiple marketable products' (InDIRECT), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The aim of the proposal is to develop biorefinery processes as part of new value chains to convert under-spent side streams/residues from the agro-sector and processing sector into useful marketable products. Cascading processes (recovery of multiple compounds from the same feedstock) are envisioned to increase the conversion efficiency (product/ton biomass input) and maximise the values of the feedstock (euro/ton biomass input).  Direct biorefiney of the biomass will be compared with indirect biorefinery.  The latter refers to the two-step process that can cope with the heterogeneity of side-streams.  In a first step the heterogenic feedstock is converted to homogenous biomass.  The game-changing approach that will be applied is the use of insects in this step. Insects are able to convert a variety of feedstocks into a more homogenous biomass, being their own biomass.  In a second step, the insect biomass will be further fractionated into a lipid, protein and chitin fraction, that all three have potential to be converted into marketable end-products (step 3). The ability to use various feedstocks results in a more robust and scalable biorefinery process that is expected to be less dependent on the season.The direct approach (without the insect convertion step) which will be explored for green leaves, is expected to be more seasonally variable, but generates a larger variety of compounds. The project foresees to process the derived fractions further into multiple marketable products for the feed, food and chemical sector. More than 20 new product formulations are envisioned and will be subjected to application tests within InDIRECT.  Activities from lab to pilot scale are foreseen, enabling the generation of sufficient material for application tests that are crucial for

user: Explain how 'The kinetic oxygen cycle in chemical sediments' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Temperature is probably the most fundamental parameter is Earth sciences, but vigorously debated for most of Earth’s history. Temperature derived from carbonate 18O/16O isotope ratios (δ18Oc) can be biased by i) kinetic effects, ii) alteration, or iii) late precipitation of secondary carbonates. KinO shows that each of these mechanisms is expected to follow a different trajectory in δ18Oc vs. δ17Oc space. Within this triple oxygen isotope space, different precipitation mechanisms and different types of kinetic effects fall on characteristic slopes, allowing to correct for these effects, which allows attaining absolute paleo-temperatures.Oxygen isotopes are classically analysed in materials presumed to form in near-equilibrium with the water mainly aiming to attain paleo-temperatures. KinO follows a completely different paradigm by specifically focussing on materials with large kinetic isotope effects. This allows quantitative estimates for fundamental parameters other than temperature such as paleo-pH. Sulfate δ18OSO4 is in notorious disequilibrium with water. While sulfite (SO32-) equilibrates with water, the final oxidation step to sulfate (SO42-) induces a kinetic effect. KinO shows how the respective kinetic effects can be identified and corrected for, providing insight into the formation mechanisms, the respective physicochemical conditions (e.g. pH) and formation temperatures. This approach can provide an alteration resistant paleo-thermometer for the Archean.The methodological development proposed in KinO will be employed to understand marine C and O isotope excursions in the geological record including the Paleocene-Eocene-Thermal-Maximum (PETM) and the Neoproterozoic Shurham anomaly. The later represents the largest negative carbon excursion on Earth and preced

user: Describe how 'Methods to improve the supply of marine organisms for pharmaceutical related natural products chemistry' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

This proposal was prepared with the help of an Exploratory award given to Bioma r SA and Loch Fyne Seafarms. The exploratory award covered a research feasibili ty study as well as novelty verification, economic assessment, partner search a nd the worprogramme definition. The project aims to provide new methods of supp ly of marine organisms for natural products drug research and development. It s eeks both to improve supply methods, ensuring both continuity of supply and red ucing the costs of drug development and production, and to replace the environm entally unsustainable need for collecting large quantities of marine invertebra tes from the wild. The technical risk is very high but justified in terms of the lucrative economic rewards for success and the social importance of improv ing the supply of new anti-cancer drugs. It will also boost European competitiv eness in an area largely dominated by the USA. The global state of the art in a ll the fields being examined is poor so the project has a high probability of m aking major advances beyond the state of the art even if it does not succeed in all its aims. A number of different and competing research avenues are being e xplored as there is no obvious predictable winner in terms of the technology most likely to succeed in securing supply. While this inevitably leads to some dissipation of effort it does improve the probability of hitting on one or more lines of commercially exploitable intellectual property rights (IPR). There are two major routes envisaged as possible methods of supply: aquaculture of i nvertebrate species producing interesting compounds; biosynthesis of compounds of interest by culturing invertebrate cells in bioreactors or the co-culturing of bacterial symbionts responsible for the production of

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'NON-WESTERN MILITARY INTERVENTIONS AND THE CHARACTER OF WARFARE IN THE EUROPEAN PERIPHERY'.

assistant: **Objectives**

While Western countries regularly intervene militarily abroad, recent years have seen increasing levels of military intervention by non-Western authoritarian and weakly-democratic states in the EU periphery. Non-Western interventions profoundly impact the security dynamics of an increasingly fragile EU neighbourhood. Despite this, the patterns and character of resulting conflicts are ill-understood, especially compared to recent conflicts involving Western states (on which much of the recent conflict literature is based). This project will conduct a highly original comparative analysis of three EU-periphery conflicts (Ukraine, Yemen and the West African Sahel) that have seen the involvement of four of the most militarily active non-Western states in the wider EU neighbourhood (Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria/Chad respectively). The fellowship will advance knowledge of: 1) how the character of conflict involving non-Western military powers differs from general conceptualizations of contemporary warfare (and each other); and, 2) how the character of these conflicts is comprehended strategically both by key state actors involved, and by Western security actors (EU and NATO). Such a project is timely given rising levels of conflict in the EU periphery and necessary given the absence of comparative enquiry into the evolving character of armed conflict across the wider EU neighbourhood. Through a mixed-methods analysis of three conflicts of critical importance to the EU, this project will offer innovative research findings on the causes, politico-military strategic logics, military practice and potential resolution of contemporary non-Western war that will support the EU’s recently-developed 2016 ‘Global Strategy’ for the EU Foreign and Security Policy.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'Unfolding the dynamic interplay of mechanical and molecular processes in brain folding'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Mammals with large brains and higher cognitive functions have a richly folded cerebral cortex. Folding abnormalities are linked to various cognitive disabilities. Despite its relevance in clinical diagnostics, the causes and consequences of cortex folding remain poorly understood. While cortex folding was long assumed to result from a limited skull volume, it is a developmental process intrinsic to the cortex. We hypothesize that cortex folding emerges from a dynamic interplay between mechanical and molecular processes, and that far from being an epiphenomenon, it has major consequences for brain architecture and function. UNFOLD will test this hypothesis by integrating genomics, cell biology, mechanics of brain development and computational modeling. Our interdisciplinary team will apply in vitro, in vivo and in silico approaches to brain tissue of strategically selected animal models. First, we will map molecular, cellular, and mechanical events accompanying cortex folding. Next, we will investigate the effects of genetic perturbations of cell biological processes on tissue mechanics, and vice versa, to identify key mechanisms leading to cortex folding and elucidate their dynamic interactions. Then, we will test the universality of these mechanisms by inducing folds in species with a smooth brain. Finally, we will decipher the consequences of cortex folding on neural circuit function and animal behavior. Our project integrates current, opposing concepts of cortex folding by adopting an interdisciplinary and multiscale perspective. Unraveling the dynamic interactions between molecular, cellular, and mechanical events during development will provide unprecedented insights into the determinants of cortical anatomy and brain organization.

user: Describe how 'Asymptotic and Numerical Analysis of MOdels of Resonant Physics Involving Structured Materials' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

One already available method to expand the range of material properties is to adjust the composition of materials at the molecular level using chemistry. We would like to develop the alternative approach of homogenization which broadens the definition of a material to include artificially structured media (fluids and solids) in which the effective electromagnetic, hydrodynamic or elastic responses result from a macroscopic patterning or arrangement of two or more distinct materials. This project will explore the latter avenue in order to markedly enhance control of surface water waves and elastodynamic waves propagating within artificially structured fluids and solid materials, thereafter called acoustic metamaterials.Pendry's perfect lens, the paradigm of electromagnetic metamaterials, is a slab of negative refractive index material that takes rays of light and causes them to converge with unprecedented resolution. This flat lens is a combination of periodically arranged resonant electric and magnetic elements. We will draw systematic analogies with resonant mechanical systems in order to achieve similar control of hydrodynamic and elastic waves. This will allow us to extend the design of metamaterials to acoustics to go beyond the scope of Snell-Descartes' laws of optics and Newton's laws of mechanics.Acoustic metamaterials allow the construction of invisibility cloaks for non-linear surface water waves (e.g. tsunamis) propagating in structured fluids, as well as seismic waves propagating in thin structured elastic plates.Maritime and civil engineering applications are in the protection of harbours, off-shore platforms and anti-earthquake passive systems. Acoustic cloaks for an enhanced control of pressure waves in fluids will be also designed for underwater camouflag

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'Circadian Developmental Requirements'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Circadian clocks are internal daily time keeping mechanisms that are required for autonomous daily rhythms in physiology and behaviour of both fruit flies and humans. Our previous work has identified a developmental role in fruit flies for the transcription factor CLOCK/CYCLE (CLK/CYC), which represents a phylogenetic and functional orthologue of the key human circadian regulator CLOCK/BMAL1. By conditionally manipulating the developmental expression of the genes for CYC as well as the CLK/CYC inhibitor PERIOD (PER), we found that CLK/CYC acts in the clock neurons during metamorphosis to ensure that the adult neural clock circuit maintains the ability to generate circadian locomotor behaviour in constant darkness. The proposed research aims to elucidate this novel role for CLK/CYC by (1) more precisely identifying its spatiotemporal context, (2) determining the associated molecular and cellular phenotypes in adult clock neurons, and (3) systematically testing a number of candidate genes for their involvement in generating the observed phenotypes. Our experimental strategy takes advantage of a combination of fruit fly genetics, confocal immunofluorescence, and behavioural assays that are all well-established in our research group. Ultimately, elucidation of the signalling pathways connecting developmental CLK/CYC activity to overt circadian behaviour in adult flies will provide a compelling rationale for exploring analogous mechanisms associated with the homologous mammalian CLOCK/BMAL and NPAS2/BMAL complexes. Given the association of the Clock and Bmal genes with circadian control of a broad array of physiological functions including metabolism and sleep and the high degree of structural and functional conservation between the clocks of flies and human this study has s
