user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Serendipity in Science, Technology and Innovation' (Serendipity) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The Serendipity project aims to investigate the role, management and impact of serendipity on research performance. The key focus of the project is on the under-researched topic of ""serendipity"", the notion in science policy that basic research leads to unexpected valuable outcomes, and since the outcomes of basic research are impossible to predict, research itself is difficult and perhaps even impossible to manage or direct towards specific social ends. Research may be uncertain, but it is not random, and we know that industrial R&D managers fund research in areas where they expect returns and organise research to maximise its impact. With public policy, the scenario is slightly different, but there is not yet a body of evidence to draw on to support policy making. Thus, the project asks whether EU science can be better managed in ways that enhance the social and economic value of serendipity for the EU. Serendipity has been a core idea in science, technology and innovation policy but there has been almost no research that has explored its relative importance, measured its magnitude or investigated its factors, and how it leads to social and economic benefits. To address this research gap, this project brings together two world leading science policy research groups at Sussex University and Columbia University, and myself (a junior researcher with a double prize-winning publication record). The project is a mix of basic research on the nature and history of serendipity, and its influence on research policy, together with applied policy-focused research on issues of direct relevance to government policy makers, medical charities and industry managers. The outgoing phase will focus on examining data and rare archives in the US that are accessible only on-location, with

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Capattery ion gradient based bioelectrochemical energy storage system' (Capion), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

CAPION will develop a novel ion-gradient-based bioelectrochemical energy storage system, leveraging biologically inspired components to overcome the limitations of conventional batteries and supercapacitors. As society moves toward increased electrification, miniaturisation and sustainability, the demand for low-voltage, compact, and environmentally neutral energy solutions is growing rapidly, particularly in healthcare, embedded electronics and autonomous sensing applications. Existing energy storage technologies, however, rely on redox chemistry or physical adsorption, which limits their stability, scalability and integration in sensitive or confined environments. CAPION addresses this bottleneck by developing a biologically based energy system that stores and supplies energy using stable ion gradients. The project builds on the PI’s ERC Advanced Grant Energion, which demonstrated the feasibility of vesicle-based energy generation using membrane proteins and bioinspired architectures. CAPION will validate the integration of this system into a self-contained energy module that can power a representative electronic device continuously for at least one month, without external recharging nor self-discharging. With its unique mechanism and sustainable design, CAPION holds strong potential to unlock new use cases where conventional energy storage is unsuitable.

user: Explain how 'Recognition-encoded synthetic information molecules' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Linear oligomers encoded with a sequence of side-chains that have specific recognition properties are the basis for a range of properties that are the hallmarks of Nature’s nanotechnology: folding, substrate recognition, catalysis, self-assembly, and molecular replication. Nucleic acids are currently unrivalled as the only molecular architecture that embodies all of these properties, and this ability to encode, express and replicate sequence information is the molecular basis for the evolution of life on Earth. The aim of this proposal is to develop synthetic oligomeric molecules that encode and express chemical information in the same way as nucleic acids, via a sequence of recognition sites attached as side-chains to a linear backbone. We have already reported a range of synthetic oligomers that bear no relation to the structures of their biological counterparts, yet show efficient sequence-selective duplex formation via H-bonding interactions and can be used for replication of sequence information via covalent base-pairing interactions. Here hybrid systems are proposed that combine the most successful elements of backbone architecture and oligomerisation chemistry with a mixture of dynamic and kinetically inert base-pairing side-chains to obtain new synthetic systems that show all of the functional properties found in biomolecules. The ability to replicate sequence in recognition-encoded synthetic information molecules will enable exploration of new chemical spaces using directed evolution. These new chemical systems will allow us to evolve synthetic oligomers that fold into stable well-defined 3D structures, bind substrates with high affinity, and catalyse reactions. Programmable abiotic molecular nanotechnology will open a new area of chemistry with huge unexplored

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'An integrated approach to prevent ochratoxin a contamination in post-harvest processing of coffee in east Africa' (COFFEEA).

assistant: **Concept**

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is caused by mould growth in many food products and is nephrotoxic and possibly carcinogen to humans. It occurs in many food types including coffee. There is generally inadequate information about its production in coffee and how the problem should be addressed. This results mainly from a lack of knowledge of the complex microbiota in the coffee environment and the lack of effective quality systems in the producing countries. The objective of this project is to introduce the concepts of GMP and HACCP in combination with the use of protective cultures for biocontrol, especially lactic acid bacteria or yeasts that can inactivate or inhibit the growth of OTA producing moulds during coffee processing.

user: Describe how 'Dependable Systems Of Systems' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The DSoS Project contributes towards the objectives of CPA 2, the Cross-Programme Action on Dependability. It will produce methods and tools for the dependable composition of a system of systems" (SoS) from a set of diverse, heterogenous and autonomous systems. A SoS provides new emerging services to its users, in addition to the services provided by its component systems. This project aims to ensure that both types of services are provided with a level of dependability matching specified user requirements. There is a number of existing, and many planned, such SoSs, on which industry, the public at large, and governments will place great dependence. Ensuring that, as far as humanly possible, such systems exhibit a level of dependability that is at least commensurate with the dependence to be placed on them poses major challenges to present theory and practice related to computer system design, validation, integration and management."

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Small RNA regulation of the body plan and epigenome in Arabidopsis embryos'.

assistant: **Concept**

Small RNAs are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression in plants and animals. Although small RNAs are essential for proper differentiation and epigenome regulation, little is known regarding their embryonic functions, especially in plants. Arabidopsis thaliana is a leading system to study the regulatory roles of small RNAs because of the abundance of genetic, genomic and epigenomic resources. Moreover, Arabidopsis embryos undergo invariant division patterns and rapidly differentiate to generate the most basic plant cell-types arranged in correct positions. Early Arabidopsis embryos are therefore morphologically simple structures composed of diverse cell types making them ideal for determining the influence of small RNAs on fundamental cellular differentiation and reprogramming events. The objectives of the proposed research are designed to assess the regulatory roles of small RNAs in establishing both the basic body plan and epigenome in plant embryos. We will utilize modified next-generation sequencing technologies to identify small RNAs present in developing embryos. Because we will generate these RNA profiles from a mixture of cell-types, we will also use a fluorescent protein-based approach to quantify specific miRNA repressive activities in individual cell-types. To determine the functions of individual miRNA/target interactions during embryogenesis, we will identify miRNAs required for embryo development and use genome-wide approaches to study specific miRNA/target interactions in greater detail. Lastly, we will use a fusion of genetic and genomic methods to determine how small RNAs influence the nascent epigenome during early embryogenesis.

assistant: **Impact**

Objectives: This Conference aims to bring together both mature scientists, technologists and young students from European countries and world-wide who are actively engaged into studies of porous semiconductors or wants to join this field of research and development. Porous semiconductors (hereater PS) are obtained be chemical or electrochemical treatment of monocrystalline Si, Ge, SiC, GaAs, etc. Thus obtained porous substances possess new properties due to the presence of semiconductor nanoparticles in the porous skeleton. Research into porous semiconductors (PS) has seen tremendous growth over the last decade since the discovery of a bright red photoluminescence from porous silicon (pSi). The activity in this field has been always interdisciplinary in nature, bringing together aspects of electrochemistry, solid-state physics, optics, and microelectronics and, more recently, biology and medicine. The issue of PS has matured in just a matter of several years from curious research matter towards important practical applications.The Conference will provide a forum for those who share a fascination for such materials and hope to better understand and exploit the materials in a wide variety of ways. The overall theme, style and atmosphere of the conference will try to adhere to those of the popular 1st PSST Meeting (Mallorca 16-20th March 1998) and 2nd PSST (Madrid 13.18th March 2000).

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Assessing the effect of diagenesis on dateable materials: implications for the chronology of the Levantine Middle Palaeolithic'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The Levant is a key area to study past human dynamics: due to its strategic position, connecting Africa to Europe and Asia, it has been the main route of the most ancient dispersals of modern humans out of Africa and a privileged environment for Neanderthal occupation. This project is focused on improving the chronology of Middle Palaeolithic sites in Israel using a comparative approach based on independent dating methods such as electron spin resonance of tooth enamel, thermoluminescence of burnt flint and luminescence of sediments. Their application requires in-depth knowledge of the preservation state of the sample and its macro- and micro-sedimentary contexts, which might affect the accuracy and the resolution of the chronological data. This comparative approach will take into account the impact of diagenetic processes on both dateable materials and sedimentary context. Characterisation methods (e.g., Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy) will be applied prior to dating in order to assess the degree of alteration and evaluate its effect on age determinations. The DIACHRON project will be hosted in one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary research institutions, the Weizmann Institute of Science. It will be implemented at the Kimmel Center for Archaeological Science, which has been home to the development of sample and context characterisation. The chronological aspect of the project will benefit from the collaboration with the partner institution, the Geological Survey of Israel, which is internationally recognised in luminescence dating. Open access publications, participation to conferences and science outreach activities will be the core of the dissemination strategy. The training provided will integrate the researcher in the field of material cha

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Comparative physiology of adaptation to cold-extremes in boreal ants', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The acquisition of cold-tolerance is one of the most ecologically relevant processes for ectotherms inhabiting temperate and boreal climates. Given the fundamental importance of cold-adaptation in shaping ectothermic species’ distribution, much effort has been put into deciphering the physiological mechanisms constraining the plasticity of their cold-tolerance. However, we still know little about how evolutionary pressures have shaped cold-tolerance acquisition in some key and ecologically relevant models for colder-ecosystems such as ants. Ants are among the most represented and abundant insects in temperate and boreal climates, providing unprecedented amounts of ecosystem services by their sheer biomass. Some higher-latitude species further display the striking ability to survive prolonged exposure to temperatures of -40°C, yet, to this day we still lack a clear and comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms supporting this impressive feat.  Considering this central gap in our knowledge, we propose here to explore the molecular-level mechanisms associated with the temporal acquisition of cold-tolerance in ants inside a consistent study system made of groups of boreal, temperate, and Mediterranean closely related species. Using this phylogenetic framework, we will (i) compare species’ potential for cold-hardiness and link cold-tolerance acquisition with the (ii) genetic response and (iii) metabolomic reorganization in models. Overall, this project proposes to explore important yet unanswered aspects of insect cryobiology that are located at the frontier of our current understanding of ecophysiology. It will explore the comparative physiology of cold-acclimation in boreal ants, allow for the potential discovery of novel cold-tolerance mechanisms in insects,
