user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Neural coding, specification, design and test of message passing neural machines' (NEUCOD) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The way information is represented, stored, recalled and processed in the neocortex is assuredly one of the most puzzling enigmas that science will have to solve during this century. Setting the basic principles of the Mental Information Theory is a high challenge potentially opening huge fields of research and progress in various domains.This research project is at the crossroads of neuroscience, computational intelligence and information theory, with a particular emphasis on the properties of distributed information processing architectures. Precisely, this project aims to identify clearly, deepen and exploit the strong analogies (distributed structure and message passing, storage capacity, discrimination ability, resilience, importance of cycles and correlation, etc.) that can be found between the structures and properties of the cerebral cortex and those of modern error correcting decoders studied in the communications science area.It is possible today to deduct from all the observations and discoveries made recently about cerebral biology a minimum material that can help information theory (communication, coding, graphs, etc.) contribute to the understanding and imitation of the neocortex functioning. In particular, the recently introduced biological concepts of neural clusters, neural cliques and sparse coding are exploited in order to devise original and efficient brain-inspired networks. We have already demonstrated that combining these concepts in a judicious approach opens the way to store and retrieve a number of messages proportional to the square of the number of neurons (to be compared for instance with the well-known sub-linear law of Hopfield networks).The objective of this project is twofold: 1) implementing electronic machines having the ability to lea

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Parallelism control or rolls by a gyroscope based system' (1994-1998) targeting Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The parallelism of rolls is a key point for the productivity of processing lines for paper, aluminium, plastic, steel, etc. in the form of a strip. Indeed, a strict parallelism is essential for a safe guiding of the material through the machines and/or for keeping its flatness. That's why regular maintenance for the control of parallelism is scheduled. But, till now this operation is very time consuming, tedious and expensive. Research is required to develop a new tool for the parallelism control in industrial processing lines of different sectors (paper, steel, aluminium, etc.) answering to the following specifications: - angular accuracy; 0.05 to 0.1mm/m of roll length (104radians) - compatible with difficult access - compatible with harsh environmental conditions - fast operation; no more than 5 minutes for the parallelism measurement per roll - easy to use: battery powered mobile sensor - small size(+ 200 x 200 x 200 mm3) and light (about 4 kg} From the technical and economical point of view, the following benefits are expected: - easier guiding and increasing the reliability of processing lines, - rapid diagnostic in case of problem - faster and more efficient maintenance - reduction of the down times - reduction of the risk of breakage of the web - reduction of down-gradings and more consistent shape quality of processed material - possibility to process a wider range of products.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Improve innovation services for SMEs by enabling synergies between RDI European funds' (EUROSYN).

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of the project is to collaboratively address a common innovation support challenge; namely to improve the use of public funds for R&D&I enabling synergies between ESIF, H2020 and other funds. Intermediary organizations offering support services on funding opportunities to SMEs are relevant actors in this process from two main points of view: 1) they can help policy makers in the development and application of the synergies, 2) they can support SMEs in the correct use of public funds for R&D. The Peer learning activity will serve to learn from the best and to share good and bad practices in funding opportunities support services. The realized Design Option Paper will serve as a “guide” or a “handbook” to other agencies and business support centres to provide similar and/or more focused services on funding opportunities support.

user: Describe how 'Imaging the signatures of planet formation using spectro-interferometry' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Star and planet formation is one of the most active and exciting research areas of modern astrophysics. Many of the open questions in this field are related to the structure and physics of the innermost regions of protoplanetary disks, where material is transported onto the forming star, ejected in powerful jets & outflows, or accreted onto newly formed planets. However, most of the aforementioned processes take place very close to the star, which has prevented a direct investigation with imaging observations so far. The aim of this project is to employ the new opportunities provided by infrared and sub-millimeter interferometry in order to explore the AU-scale inner regions in protoplanetary disks for the first time with direct imaging. The obtained images will reveal the fundamental inner disk structure and allow us to search for planet-related disk surface features, such as tidally cleared gaps or hot accretion spots around embedded protoplanets. In order to derive the physical conditions & composition of the detected structures, we will combine near-infrared, mid-infrared, and sub-millimeter interferometry using the VLTI+CHARA+ALMA array.In order to pursue this research I plan to establish a dedicated group at the University of Exeter, which is already one of the leading groups in star- and planet-formation theory in the UK. The Marie Curie CIG grant will be essential, (1) to hire a student that will work specifically on the planet formation-related aspects, and (2) to obtain travel funds that are required to continue and intensify my involvement with the CHARA interferometer group. We will collaborate closely with the radiative transfer and hydrodynamics experts at Exeter, enabling a sophisticated interpretation of our data. Our approach will result in an unprecede

user: Describe how 'Bio-Engineered Dyeing Innovations for Sustainable Cotton Textiles' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The environmental and societal impact of fabric dyeing is a critical concern, with the textile industry ranking among the most chemically intensive and the second-largest polluter of clean water globally. Traditional dyeing methods consume large amounts of water and energy, release toxic chemicals, and contribute significantly to environmental degradation. Thus, there is an urgent need for sustainable dyeing innovations that reduce chemical usage and conserve water. In this ERC PoC, we aim to develop and implement a novel eco-friendly textile dyeing method that combines the design of genetically engineered colored proteins with a non-toxic, zero-waste innovative application methodology, eliminating toxic waste and pollution and significantly reducing water consumption.In this project, we aim to rationally design and express heat-resistant blue chromoproteins (i.e., aeBlue) from the coral Aquinia equina in a bacterial chassis (Escherichia coli). Then, we will demonstrate that they can be bound covalently to cotton fibers to dye the fibers similar to DENIM, using sugar cross-linkers with temperatures above 40 ºC. This biologically inspired protein-based dyeing approach for textiles can be further explored using other chromoproteins found in other organisms, offering a palette of natural colors and opening new avenues for a future sustainable alternative for fabric dyeing. This PoC builds on the findings of the ERC-CoG-funded project BIOMATFAB, which explored sugar uptake and transport in cotton fibers. In collaboration with European textile industry stakeholders, this PoC aims to explore and demonstrate the commercial feasibility of our dyeing methodology. We will aim to understand consumer needs, market segments, and competition to define a robust business model that ens

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Quantum Algebraic Structures and Models' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

This project aims to an innovative deep interplay between Operator Algebras and Quantum Field Theory. On one hand we want both to develop powerful tools to construct Quantum Field Theory models and provide a mathematical-conceptual description of interesting Physical contexts, on the other hand we want to set up and study the emerging mathematical structures, that have their own interest.  Our first objective aims to an intrinsic description of phase boundaries (defects) in two dimensions, developing mathematical methods needed to this end. The operator-algebraic description of Boundary Conformal Field Theory by the K.-H. Rehren and the PI is the basis to set up the operator-algebraic, Minkowskian description of phase boundary, relating to the tensor categorical, Euclidean description by J. Fröhlich, J. Fuchs, I. Runkel and C. Schweigert. The theory of Subfactors by V. Jones and the PI's notion of Q-system are to be extended to unstudied settings and new basic operations are to be introduced and analyzed. Existing partial classification results will be broadened to more general, physically interesting situations.A second objective aims to a non-perturbative construction of QFT models that relies on recent ideas, based on algebraic deformation, by E. Witten and the PI (in a massless context) and by G. Lechner (in a massive context), and further developed by other researchers. We aim at a unifying framework and new constructive methods.A third objective plans to construct, and analyze, new classes of models of local Conformal Nets of von Neumann Algebras by means of Vertex Operator Algebras; among them the “Shorter Moonshine Net”.A further objective points to understand known effects in Information Theory within the Noncommutative Geometrical viewpoint provided by a QFT i

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Woodoo Augmented Wood - scaling up translucent wood for sustainable buildings and vehicles' (WOODOO).

assistant: **Concept**

Woodoo transforms natural wood into an augmented material that is strong, light, durable and stunningly translucent. It uses a patented process to replace wood’s lignin with a unique bio-polymer.The result is a material as strong as concrete and steel, and as luminous as amber. It can be used to create: (A) Unique auto interiors; (B) Wooden touchscreens; (C) Light wooden car bodies; (D) Sustainable wooden buildings reaching 48 storeys.The innovation is needed as traditional construction materials severly impact the environment: Steel and concrete produce 10.5% of all CO2 emissions. The construction and auto industries must eliminate emissions by 2050 to meet EU targets.The process is highly scalable. It uses standard industrial equipment (solvent tanks, pressure vessels), combined with Woodoo's patented bio-polymers. It can be contracted to wood processing facilities worldwide.Woodoo’s market entry begins in the automotive sector. It already has partnerships with large auto manufacturers and suppliers. A global player in consumer electronics is interested in wooden touch screens. Woodoo will later scale up to supplying the construction industry.Woodoo has a team of 20 experts, HQ in Paris and R&D in Troyes. It holds 17 patents. It targets markets worth over €375 billion. Woodoo has carried out an SME Phase 2 project, meeting all objectives. It is now applying for an EIC blended equity project. The outcome will be: (1) Scale up production output ; (2) Reduce production time and costs, reduce scrap wastage; (3) Produce a series auto component; (4) Secure contracts for large-scale commercialization; (5) Target private investments.Woodoo meets multiple EU Green Deal objectives. By 2027 it will eliminate 1.6M tons of CO2. EIC funding is needed to achieve this.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Materials for Pavements'.

assistant: **Concept**

The societal needs that are specifically targeted here are to support EU policy on sustainable development, waste management and energy efficiency in road construction. The primary means is by encouraging a greater use of recycled components in pavement materials and by explicit consideration of environmental performance in the design. Attention is also paid to the situation within CE countries for which the RETRA-EST programme has identified environmental considerations in recycling and use of alternative materials as a first priority for co-operative actions. The second key objective is to prepare for the harmonisation of European approaches of material specification within the next generation of CEN standards. This will involve moving from a recipe approach to a more general performance-based approach of the in-place products.

user: Explain how 'Prediction Of Waves, Wakes and Offshore Wind' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Currently, a good number of research projects is underway on the European and national level in the fields of short-term forecasting of wind power, offshore wind and wave resource prediction, and offshore wakes in large wind farms. The purpose of this Acti on is to co-ordinate the activities in these related fields, to spread the knowledge gained from these projects among the partners and colleagues, and to start the work on some roadmaps for the future. Therefore, the leaders of research projects are assumi ng the function of a multiplier towards the larger research and user community. Additionally, in the fields of short-term forecasting and offshore energy resource, Expert Groups will be formed to act as the central focus point for external stakeholders (eg the EU commission). The liaison with other groups will also include groups outside of Europe. To facilitate the spread of knowledge, a number of workshops is planned, being smaller and more focused on their topics than the usual conferences. In order to i nclude more researchers from the new and accession states, they can get travel grants paid from the project.One issue hampering the progress in our fields is the difficulty of getting access to good data. In most cases, data on offshore wind or power is st rictly confidential, and also data on onshore wind power, especially in conjunction with numerical weather predictions, is not easy to come by. One example of a good testing procedure comes from the Anemos project, where in all 6 test cases were defined, t o be run by all involved institutes. This idea is taken to the next level with the set-up of two Virtual Laboratories, one for offshore wake modelling, the other one for short-term forecasting. In the end, this Coordination Action will also support prepara ti

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'VULCAN: matter, powered from within'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Vulcan, the Roman god of blacksmithing, was revered in Europe since the Iron Age (1200-500 BC) for a powerful skill: controlling the macroscopic properties of metals (strength, ductility, toughness). To this day, thermal treatments such as annealing - cycles of high temperatures, alternated with slow cooling - remain an essential tool of material science. However, Vulcans traditional powers forge monolithic, static, and passive materials, and are laughably blunt instruments when compared to living materials, which dynamically reconfigure, repair, and rebuild themselves. Living systems provide proof-of-concepts for what can be achieved: assembling functional materials from elementary blocks that consume fuel. VULCAN: matter, powered from within, takes forging into the modern age, injecting energy directly through active agents present in the materials. It is experiment-driven and bottom-up, establishing novel experimental strategies to fabricate materials powered from within, with phases and structures that cannot be achieved via thermal treatments, and present non-conventional mechanical and rheological properties (self-healing, odd viscosities). The proposal notably aims to control the phase diagram of matter with spatiotemporal modulation of activity of the bath. We will devise an active bath of swimming bacteria to assemble macroscopic and 3D colloidal crystals and gels [Objective 1], with structures and at scales that cannot be achieved thermally. In parallel, we will devise exotic condensed phases of matter: 2D liquids of spinners and networks of active beams [Objective 2], made from large numbers of autonomous micromachines built from light-activated colloids. This is uncharted territory and an ambitious and high-risk goal, fueling VULCANs lasting impact  tearing

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Label-free quantitative nanoscopy for molecular specific identification at depth in pristine living biological tissues'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Optical microscopy has undergone a revolution that now allows us to access molecular resolution (“nanoscopy”) with the identification of specific biomolecules within biological samples. Nanoscopy has become a key approach to decipher the function of living matter since biomolecules are the elementary building blocks. While being a major tool, high-resolution and specificity can only be achieved by tagging the molecules of interest with fluorescent probes, which inevitably alters the samples, making them improper for medical applications including regenerative medicine. The leading dogmas being that (i) nanoscopy cannot be achieved without labelling and (ii) no specific signature from molecules can be retrieved without energy exchange with the sample (e.g. absorption by probes, molecular vibrational interaction).I propose a complete change of paradigm by introducing label-free nanoscopic imaging using the optical refractive index as a molecular sensor. My ground-breaking approach will be based on our pioneering work which demonstrates that phase, intensity and polarisation information can be quantitatively retrieved with unprecedented sensitivity and with an imaging resolution equivalent to regular imaging with fluorescent probes. I will re-forge this into a single-shot imaging technique capable of beating the optical resolution limit to access nanoscale resolutions, even deep inside living unmodified biological samples. Specific molecular information will be untangled through machine learning algorithms. SPECIPHIC will give birth to the first label-free molecular specific imaging with nanoscale resolution in pristine living biological tissues. The applicability of my concept will be demonstrated in this ERC starting project with applications in regenerative medicine and
