user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Reducing food waste due to marketing standards through alternative market access' to be submitted under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

It appears that a substantial amount of food waste may be due to marketing standards, yet there is very limited concrete evidence on how much, why and how to address it. There is a need to deepen our understanding and identify solutions to prevent and reduce food waste along with any trade-offs, by improving the business potential of suboptimal foods. ROSETTA sets out to deliver reliable evidence, produced through transdisciplinary research with the engagement of use case multi-actors, that a) estimates food waste generated by the use of marketing standards along the whole value chain, b) co-defines and validates sustainable solutions for the valorisation of that waste, and c) assesses trade-offs. The current framework of marketing standards of food commodities at international, EU, national and private level, will be analysed, and the reasons for their establishment will be assessed. An operational plan will be developed to deploy pilot experiments in five (5) use cases across EU countries, led by private marketing standards owners or networks/clusters in the value chain, representing four (4) main food commodities, namely fruit & vegetables, cereals, dairy and meat. A comparative analysis of data collected from both lab and field research, combined with LCSA study, will validate and optimise use-case selected solutions, which are expected to reduce food waste due to marketing standards by 60% – 80% through alternative market access for suboptimal foods, including processing and other strategies as well as changes in social practices. The validated and optimised solutions will provide insights for knowledge transfer and identify opportunities for social learning. Insights will be used to develop replication guidelines and policy recommendations, addressed to food busin

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Cost reduction for dish/stirling systems' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Dish/Stirling (D/S) solar electric systems at power levels ranging from 5 kW and clustered to 10 MW have been internationally identified as one of the most promising technologies for future decentralised solar and solar/hybrid electricity generation in regions with high solar radiation. In current performance and longevity tests they have demonstrated for being the most efficient technology in converting solar radiation into electric energy in comparison to all other solar electric systems. First market assessments for the Mediterranean area showed a market potential of more than 500 to 600 MW which could be opened up in the mid-term. With this environmental clean and resource-saving technology a huge export market for the industrialised nations could be developed. The technical feasibility of the D/S system designed by Schlaich Bergermann und Partner have been proven in several prototypes with more than 26 000 operating hours (world record). The main barrier to introduce D/S systems to the market are acceptable system costs. SBP's D/S design has already reached 11 000 ECU/kWelfor single prototype installations. Further cost reductions are only possible by developing and testing new cost optimised components and preparing small series production. For first market penetrations in remote areas and island installations, system costs have to be below 5 000 ECU/kWel. This will be achieved by: - Cost reduction of involved components Actual prototypes have been built by using available of-the-shelf components which are however expensive and not well adjusted to the use in Dish/Stirling applications. Thus new components will be developed, manufactured and tested. - Developing of a new concentrator manufacturing procedure The actual costs for the steel parts of the prototypes ar

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Magnonics: Mastering Magnons in Magnetic Meta-Materials' (MAGNONICS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

The opportunity to modify spectrum of excitations in materials with periodically modulated properties has stimulated striving research activity in the area of artificial periodic structures with aim to design novel materials with new revolutionary functionalities - so called meta-materials.  Photonic, plasmonic, and phononic crystals and semiconductor superlattices are typical examples of exploitation of this concept for controlling light, acoustic wave and electron propagation and scattering in electronic and opto-electronic devices.   Magnetic materials with periodically modulated properties are also known to possess properties that cannot be reduced to those of constituent layers.  The best example here is the phenomenon of giant magnetoresistance (GMR), discovery of which was marked by the Nobel Prize Award last year.  Importantly, the spectrum of magnons in periodic magnetic materials has band structure.  By analogy to other band-gap materials, periodic magnetic structures used as a medium for controlled propagation of magnons are called magnonic crystals, while the corresponding field of research is called magnonics.   The objective of the proposed project is to bring together several European research teams with a broad of fabrication and characterization expertise in order to realize practically this new class of meta-materials – magnonic crystals.  We will create 1D, 2D, and 3D magnonic crystals with dynamical magnetic properties tailored at the nano-scale.  The created magnonic crystals will be then used to replace continuous magnetic materials within various devices ranging from electro-motors and actuators to nano-scale magnonic logic elements, in which magnons will be used as signal carriers.  The experimental data obtained in the course of the project will

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Endothelial RNA Modifications in Vascular Homeostasis and Disease' (MODVASC).

assistant: **Concept**

Endothelial cells cover the entire arterial and venous tree, and play a pivotal role in vascular and organ homeostasis. In general, cardiovascular risk factors induce endothelial cell activation towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype leading to atherosclerosis, a major cause of mortality in the Western world. Understanding the mechanisms that orchestrate endothelial cell functions and response to environmental stimuli is essential for the discovery and development of novel biomarkers and therapeutic strategies in vascular disease. RNA base modifications increase the RNA alphabet from the 4 canonical nucleotides to more than 140. Adenosine methylation at the N6 position (m6A) is the most prevalent RNA modification in eukaryotic mRNA and is catalyzed by a multiprotein methyltransferase complex. Accumulating recent evidence suggests that m6A RNA methylation is a critical posttranscriptional regulator of RNA metabolism. In preliminary unpublished work we have identified methylated RNA targets, which may critically regulate endothelial cell functions. Since the impact of m6A RNA methylation on vascular function is completely unknown, MODVASC aims to explore the role of m6A RNA methylation in vascular growth, homeostasis and disease. By m6A-RNA immunoprecipitation followed by RNA-sequencing we will identify the transcriptome-wide m6A RNA methylation in endothelial cells under basal and stress conditions.  With the help of advanced molecular biology and biochemical methods, we will describe in single nucleotide level the impact of m6A RNA methylation on mRNA fate and RNA-protein interactions and define its functional consequences in endothelial cell functions. In vivo studies will consolidate the impact of endothelial RNA methylation on vascular growth and homeostasis as well as

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Hybrid quantum networks for spin coherent technologies' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Spins in solids are at the heart of fundamental physical phenomena such as magnetism. Today, they are harnessed in a range of technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging and spintronics for recording media. The revolutionary potential of future quantum technologies has fuelled research efforts to gain control of the quantum nature of spins. Thanks to a string of recent breakthroughs, it is now possible to initialize and read out individual spins in a solid, and to manipulate their dynamics using carefully defined control fields. However, all experiments to date have been limited to “open-loop” control on locally interacting few-spin systems, precluding efficient correction of noise and errors and preventing long-distance applications.My HYSCORE project will realize two critical breakthroughs: “closing the loop” by performing quantum feedback and generating quantum entanglement between remote spins. These goals will allow for entering a new era, in which robustly controlled spin registers are connected to form true quantum networks.To achieve these ambitious goals, I will exploit and combine the key strengths of different types of quantum information carriers: the robustness of nuclear spins for storage and core computational tasks, the optical interface of electron spins for initializing and reading the nuclear spin registers, and the mobility and coherence of photons for establishing truly long-distance links. Two promising solid-state platforms will be studied: nitrogen-vacancy defects in diamond and fluorine donors in zinc selenide. If successful, HYSCORE will yield novel methods for closed-loop quantum control, fundamental insights into quantum measurement, robust multi-qubit registers in a solid, and the establishment of elementary long-distance quantum network

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'VEhicles as High-status Indicators in the CUlture of Late Antiquity' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

VEHICULA is a study of vehicles as means for elite self-representation and the visualization of social hierarchies in the late Roman empire: its aim is to produce a comprehensive study of cultural history, which will be of interest to those in all fields of classics and history. In late antiquity, the increasing hierarchisation of society was matched by a need for the visualization of its structure: every citizen was bound not only to occupy his or her own place in society, but also to exhibit the distinguishing features of his or her rank, in a way that could be immediately clear to every viewer. Vehicles were among the most impressive signs of social and economic power; but they are also one of the most underestimated by modern scholars. The use of elaborate vehicles was the principal means for elite self-representation in public spaces, where the prestige and power of a nobleman was made clear by the lavish parade by which he was surrounded while moving through the city. The project will address several categories of visual and written sources, combining the competences and methods of archaeology, art history, classical philology, and literary criticism, and exploiting their results through the lenses of social history and the history of ideas. The innovative focus on vehicles will help clarify some characteristic developments of late antique culture and society in different contexts in which vehicles played a key role, including: the evolution of pagan theology and rituals; the establishment of a bureaucratic structure for central and territorial administration; the construction of gender identity among the elites; the competing modes of elite self-representation (senatorial, military, ecclesiastical) in the public and private sphere; the establishment of the Christ

user: Describe how 'Motivations, causes and consequences of losers’ consent and its breakdown in established democracies' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Losers’ consent is both a foundation of democracy and one of the big puzzles in political science. In democracies, elections divide citizens between winners and losers, and the expectation is that losers consent to be ruled by the winners. Despite the established notion that losers' consent is fundamental to democracy, recent events like the 2021 Capitol attack in the U.S. and the 2023 Congress attack in Brazil highlight its fragility. Without the losers’ consent, democracies are in danger.This project addresses three central questions: 1) how can we conceptualize and measure consent; 2) which are the determinants of the losers’ consent and its breakdown, and 3) what are the consequences of the breakdown of consent. This research will provide a novel and comprehensive conceptualization of consent that encompasses three dimensions: acceptance of election results, recognition of the winners’ legitimate authority, and willingness to be governed by them. In addition, the project will develop a new typology of consenting losers based on their rationalization of electoral defeat and motivations to accept the legitimacy of the government. This typology will be validated using qualitative data.The project will then develop an original quantitative measure of consent. This measure will be used to track consent in a large set of countries over a long period, and explore the factors that shape it. Special attention will be paid to the role of elites’ narratives and policy proposals in enhancing or eroding losers’ consent. Finally, the project will explore for the first time the impact of the breakdown of consent upon voting, contentious political behavior and social cooperation.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Democratic Efficacy and the Varieties of Populism in Europe' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

DEMOS is built on the assumption that populism is symptomatic of a disconnect between how democratic polities operate and how citizens perceive their own aspirations, needs and identities within the political system. As such, DEMOS explores the practical value of ’democratic efficacy’ as the condition of political engagement needed to address the challenge of populism. The concept combines attitudinal features (political efficacy), political skills, knowledge, and democratic opportunity structures.In order to better understand populism DEMOS addresses its hitherto under-researched aspects at micro-, meso-, and macro-levels: its socio-psychological roots, social actors’ responses to the populist challenge, and populism’s effects on governance. DEMOS focuses not only on the polity, but equally on citizens’ perspectives: how they are affected by, and how they react to, populism. Politically underrepresented groups and those targeted by populist politics are a particular focus, e.g. youth, women, and migrants. As populism has varying socially embedded manifestations, DEMOS aims at contextualising it through comparative analysis on the variety of populisms across Europe, including their historical, cultural, and socioeconomic roots, manifestations, and impacts. DEMOS develops indicators and predictors of populism and elaborates scenarios on the interactions of populism with social actors and institutions both at the national and the EU levels.Unifying 15 partners from 10 disciplines, DEMOS combines in-depth research on populism and democratic efficacy with action research and pilot projects in order to develop lasting tools and timely policy recommendations; project methods include experiments, deliberative polling, text mining, surveys, and legal analysis.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Radio Frequency Sensing for Non-Destructive Testing of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite Materials for Structural Health Monitoring' (COMP-HEALTH).

assistant: **Innovation**

It is well recognised that composites have a significant part to play in reducing the weight of many structural engineering components, given its superior strength-to-weight ratio. These features help on reducing energy requirements and enabling renewable energy generation through construction of light-weighing devices. Although the aerospace and renewable sectors are currently taking forward the advantages of these materials, in general there has been relatively limited wide-spread adoption of composite components mainly due to the primary failure mechanisms (i.e. delamination and fibre pull-out), which are difficult to accurately detect,  leading to an underestimated lifetime of components and attempts at repair practically impossible.As the majority of the traditional visual inspection techniques are none-applicable, the CompHealth project will develop a technology that can allow for any delamination/pull-out to be detected in a composite component. This project will develop a mobile scanner which can be used to detect defects in composite materials and components, at both the point of manufacture and in-service/in-situ, with a reliability of >99%. The technique will use a novel radio frequency (RF) with remote sensing and improved scanning speed to detect defects in a range of fibre reinforced composite materials.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Improving future projections of climate change induced hydrological responses by looking into the past: the Lake Prespa / Aliakmonas River case study in Greece' (CLIM-HYDROLAKE), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

This multidisciplinary project covers the research areas of climate change, geology and hydrology, and is of direct relevance for global biodiversity and the socio-economy. Aim: To advance the state-of-the-art in climate research by improving projections of climate change induced hydrological responses in the S Balkans, using a novel multi-proxy methodology combining hydro-climate modelling and palaeo-hydrological techniques. Study area: research will focus on the unique landform-sediment archive of the Prespa Lakes and Aliakmonas River that allows high-resolution reconstruction of palaeo-hydrological changes over the past 1500yrs. These records provide the exceptional opportunity to validate/calibrate hydrological models on 102-103yr timescales, and analogues of hydrological responses to past climate change. Future projections of hydrological responses will focus on the Prespa, Aliakmonas and Ohrid catchments (S Balkans). Timeliness: The project is highly timely as the S Balkans suffer growing water stress, revealed by falling lake/river levels, the causes of which are not properly known. The dramatic, unexplained, fall in water level of Prespa threatens the globally significant ecosystems of Lakes Prespa / Ohrid. There is an urgent need to understand climate change induced hydrological responses, as future climate scenarios predict an increase in excessive drought events and declining rainfall. Host: NOA is the foremost Greek research centre on climate change, but lacks the palaeo-hydrological expertise of the researcher. This hampers improving projections of hydrological responses by using the latest integrated modelling and palaeo-hydrological methodologies. The transfer of knowledge offered by this project will improve the national research capacity while facilitat
