user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Developing High Resolution Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dating of fossil teeth: contribution to the chronology of early hominid occupations in the Mediterranean area' (ESR).

assistant: **Concept**

Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) is the only chronometric method that can be applied to date Early Pleistocene fossil teeth from early hominid occupations in the Mediterranean area.  Recent investigations focused on these old samples have highlighted the limitations of the standard procedures, as well as the complexity of the post depositional alteration processes in dental tissues at micro-scale.To overcome these issues, the present project proposes a cutting edge investigation that can only be performed as a joint project between RSES and CENIEH, since these institutions offer complementary facilities and experienced staff. Basically, this work aims at: (i) Investigating the physical and chemical processes that are affecting dental tissues at micro scale and evaluating their impact on the ESR age results, (ii) developing a high resolution combined US-ESR dating approach for fossil teeth.From a methodological perspective, the project is expected to improve the reliability of the ESR method by contributing to the understanding of why for a given site, some samples yield seemingly reliable results while others do not. This will lead to the identification of some objective criteria to evaluate the suitability of tooth samples for ESR dating.On the geochronological side, this project will expose new perspectives for the ESR method. This new high resolution approach will improve the accuracy of the age estimates, since several ages per sample will be produced once suitable dental domains have been identified. This project will provide new ESR dating results for some of the oldest archaeological sites in the Mediterranean basin, thus contributing to improve our knowledge of the first hominid settlements in this area.The present project is an important step for the development o

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'ERATOSTHENES: Excellence Research Centre for Earth Surveillance and Space-Based Monitoring of the Environment' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The proposed CoE envisions to upgrade the existing ERATOSTHENES Centre of the Cyprus University of Technology into an inspiring environment for conducting basic and applied research and innovation in the thematic clusters of Environment and Climate, Resilient Society, and Big Earth Data Analytics through the integrated use of remote sensing and space-based techniques. Satellite observation and remote sensing are the major focal point of the Centre and in the proposed CoE will be used in an integrated manner with other techniques and geospatial tools. Earth observation data are the key factors in Earth environmental programs in order to assess the current information of the environment, inform models, understand relationships among Earth processes, support decision making e.g., toward sustainability and involve stakeholders more effectively in environment decision-making. Earth observation has, so far, made sustainability a reality and it will continue to do so as more research is continuously done and technology improves. Climate change, air and water quality, natural hazards, floods, earthquakes, fires, erosion, landslides and other phenomena are some of the factors that need to be taken into consideration in several environmental studies, both at a national as well as at a regional level. Indeed, Cyprus with its unique geographical position, can support satellite Earth Observation programmes in these areas, as well as their respective calibration and validation aspects. The project is fully aligned with the Smart Specialization Strategy of Cyprus (S3Cy). The Teaming 2 proposal of EXCELSIOR is based on the business plan developed in Teaming 1 EXCELSIOR project, which demonstrates the development of a fully autonomous and self-sustained Centre of Excellence (112 and 132

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'EXPOnential analysis emPOWERing innovation' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The EXPOWER project combines a broad spectrum of key research and training activities on Multi-Exponential Analysis with applications in industry, that are currently being undertaken in some premier research institutes. The network is interdisciplinary, intersectoral, unconventional and ambitious. It is unconventional in the sense that it connects stakeholders from seemingly separately developed fields: computational harmonic analysis, numerical linear algebra, computer algebra, nonlinear approximation theory, digital signal processing and their applications, in one and more variables. It is ambitious because the consortium stretches from mathematics to computational science and engineering and industry.  Multi-exponential analysis might sound remote, but it touches our daily lives in many surprising ways, even if most people are unaware of how important it is. For example, a substantial amount of effort in signal processing and time series analysis is essentially dedicated to the analysis of multi-exponential functions. Multi-exponential analysis is also fundamental to several research fields and application domains that are the subject of the EXPOWER proposal: remote sensing, antenna design, digital imaging, testing and metrology, all impacting some major societal or industrial challenges such as energy, transportation, space research, health and telecommunications.  The EXPOWER Beneficiaries and Third Country Partners, each bringing in their own complementary expertise, aim at solving some core challenges where the different domains involved with multi-exponential analysis meet. We target game-changing breakthroughs that will deliver a competitive advantage to industry. The EXPOWER project connects 10 countries, 9 universities, 3 international research institutes and

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Wideband optical antennae for use in energy harvesting applications - GreEnergy'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Energy is a vital need of humanity and a primary indicator a of nations’ growth. However, most energy sources we use have low efficiency, rely on non-renewable resources and cause severe damage to the environment. The cleanest resource, and the one which offers virtually unlimited energy is the sun. However, according to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, current solar photovoltaics (PV) produce little more than 2% of the world’s electricity. This low output is primarily resulting from two factors: current commercial solar PV cells have approximately 15-20% efficiency, and the price of a 1m2 is around €400. GreEnergy aims to develop a wideband optical antenna array with very high efficiency. The GreEnergy device will integrate the energy-harvesting component in a self-powering nano-system. A prototype of the integrated components will be developed incorporating nano-optical antennas with nano-rectifiers (rectennas) and a micro-energy storage component. Fabrication of all components will be developed with the aim of integration on a single microchip in a single fabrication process. To ensure success of the rectennas development, we will use a risk mitigation plan by dual research teams using both graphene and metal-insulator-metal based solutions to achieve rectenna prototypes (TRL4). Simulations will provide full system level circuitry, act as a benchmark of the proof of concept design (TRL3) and culminate in road mapping for future full-scale development and commercialization. Within GreEnergy, the targeted efficiency of the overall system is 20-40%, while the theoretical efficiency is over 90%, at an estimated system cost below €100 per 1m2. Such a technology would fundamentally change solar energy harvesting and have dramatic effects on consumers, society,

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Mechanical tests and identification of parameters for metal forming processes (TESTIFY)' (TESTIFY).

assistant: **Innovation**

Computer models are now widely used in the early tool design stages for metal forming processes. The quality of simulations is limited by the accuracy of input parameters, i.e. the data for large strain material behavior and of the tool-work piece interface. Parameters are identified from laboratory tests. Methodologies are needed to obtain quickly reliable material data. The goal is to develop and compare hot deformation test for identifying such parameters. The most commonly used tests are studied: torsion, axisymetric and plane strain compressions. The output will include (a) sensitivity analysis of numerical simulation results to material parameters, (b) good practice guides and analysis on industrial cases, (c) industrialized finite element software based on inverse methods of the different tests.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Quantification of the degradation of microstructured coatings' (2007-2013) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

For a successful geometrical characterization of the described microstructured coatings, the lateral resolution of the measurement device should be higher than 250 nm. Therefore, a confocal microscope or white light interferometer will be used for the laboratory measurements. To obtain reliable and accurate geometrical information, the optical measurement results will be verified by a secondary electron microscope (SEM). Its advantage is the higher lateral resolution and the ability to detect steep angles. Though a SEM only produces 2D images, it is possible to evaluate the 3D-geometry of local structures using the shape from shading method.For a degradation analysis, the 3D measurement results will be used for calculation of the task-relevant geometric parameters. For this purpose different mathematical instruments such as Fourier analysis and statistical estimation can be used. The parameters are presented as histograms and correspondent distributions.The solutions, which were developed for laboratory tests, cannot be directly used for quasi-real time measurements because the micro-coating production rates are usually distinctly higher. For this reason, the surface is examined using 2d cameras. Here not the real 3D topography, but secondary characteristics, such as the specific reflection of corners or the darker indications from tilted surfaces, are being controlled. The areal scanning will be achieved with the aid of highly precise linear axes. If a divergence from the desired course is found during the camera examination, this spot will be examined with confocal microscopes. These microscopes can be installed on positioning devices. The 3D measurement results are additionally tested for their precision and robustness. If necessary, improvements may be implemented w

user: Describe how 'Novel Temperature Regulating Fibres and Garments' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The objective of the project is to develop novel temperature regulating fibres and innovative textile products for thermal management, selected by the SME segment of the textile industry in Europe. The temperature regulating effect is achieved by novel methods of incorporating large amounts of phase changing materials (PCM) in textile fibres. When the body temperature increases, the PCM melts and absorbs the heat from the body in the form of latent heat. Then, when the temperature drops, the PCM crystallizes and the stored heat is released again. Clothes with built-in thermo-regulating properties provide maintained thermal comfort in difficult thermal environment and physical activity situations, without putting on or taking off clothes. Such smart clothing would reduce discomfort caused by accumulation of sweat/moisture in the clothing, and also shivering during varying activity levels and ambient conditions. The innovative concepts to be developed will outperform presently available materials for thermal management in garments. The concept is based on two main ideas. One idea is based on processing concepts that rely on compounding/mixing steps to provide suitable rheological properties of complex mixtures of polymers and PCMs followed by bi-component melt spinning to fibres with a core/sheath structure confining the PCM to the core. New bio-based (PLA) and conventional synthetic polymers for fibres (PP, PET, PA) are here addressed. The second idea is based on a new concept for incorporating PCMs in wet spun cellulose fibres based on direct addition of free PCM to a cellulose solution. A large and intense part of the project will be devoted to product related research, lead by the SMEs in the project. In particular, specific, value-added products are targeted within u

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Connecting and Coordinating European Research and Technology Development with Japan' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The EU and Japan has recently signed an agreement on cooperation in science and technology. The EU Commissioner for Science and Research, Janez Potočnik has stated that ""This agreement between the EC and Japan opens a new chapter in the history of science and research cooperation between two of the main knowledge providers in the world in a new era of international global cooperation in research. We face common challenges and we should address them together for our planet, for our people and for our future. It also represents one step further in the opening of the European research area to the world"". Based on this rationale, CONCERT-Japan is bringing together the European countries to consolidate and structure their S&T cooperation with Japan. One of the main principles of EU FP7 is opening of the European Research Area (ERA) to the world. However, in the case of Japan, this objective still remains to be achieved. In this framework, CONCERT-Japan is an ERA-NET initiative to coordinate, network and enhance S&T cooperation of the European countries with Japan through developing a concerted cooperation approach. To that end, specific features of this ERA-NET action include the definition of common elements in present cooperation, identification of priorities and models for future cooperation, implementation of a pilot joint funding activity and development of a durable programmatic approach for the future. Enabling European countries to speak with one voice in science and technology cooperation with Japan, this project will unveil the mutual interests of Europe and Japan, bolster their position in the global competition for knowledge and elevate research excellence. A consortium consisting of 10 partners from European countries and 3 partners from Japan will realize thi

user: Explain how 'Efficient and Robust Oxide Switching' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

We are at the beginning of a Data Age. Data is exploding. In 2016, 90% of the world’s data ever created was in the two previous years.  AI and data analytics are further increasing the growth. The power demand is huge and growing. Within a few years some developed countries will not have sufficient power to sustain the growth. The negative effects on the planet are serious. Non-volatile memory (NVM) technology (including memory and neuromorphic computing elements in a single device) could strongly help to solve the problem, giving two orders of magnitude power reduction and, by removing the data transfer bottleneck, increased speed. Oxide memristors have significant advantages over competing NVM technologies, particularly in terms of speed, cost and temperature stability. However, after more than a decade of intense effort, serious challenges remain in terms of scaling, uniformity and robustness. The challenges all relate to a lack of precise control of the materials. Completely new thinking in thin film materials engineering is needed.EROS provides this new thinking by designing and engineering new forms of nanostructured oxide films to give highly Efficient, Robust Oxide Switching in an ultra-dense, ultra-low power, reliable oxide memristor system, with potential to change the technology landscape in AI, IoT, and security. ‘Ideal’ films will first be designed, fabricated, and understood. These will direct the way to simple industry-platform devices. Stochastic effects will be eliminated by creating films with separate vertical nanoscale ionic and electron channels with highly controlled vacancy and electronic concentrations, allowing scaling to a few nm, in a forming-free system. Also, multifunctional hybrid structures will be developed to give robustness. Furthermore

assistant: **Impact**

PENGUIN aims to develop sustainable materials for outdoor garments. Its highlight lies on cellulose-based fibres for producing sustainable insulation material that mimic the way penguins protect themselves against cold and moisture on land. The goal of PENGUIN is to ensure Europe's role as a world-leading technology provider and research leader in the textile sector through collaboration between Europe's leading experts in advanced material value chain and reduce the environmental impact of the outdoor garment industry and address sustainability and ethical concerns of consumers. Specifically, PENGUIN aims to develop sustainable and recyclable textile fibres based on wood cellulose with enhanced hydrophobicity, adhesion, and tailored morphology to create ethically responsible and sustainable insulation materials for textiles. PENGUIN will develop fabrics that incorporate advanced biomimetic functionalities and digital tools for optimal performance. The reuse and recycling plan together with developed recycling technologies will ensure that the end-product is disposed of responsibly, further contributing to the circular economy. Furthermore, PENGUIN aims to ensure that the developed textile materials are safe and sustainable; low-cost and low-resource; and gain market adoption and stakeholder acceptance for the new products. PENGUIN will achieve these objectives through innovation activities and partnerships, optimizing, developing and validating new materials and production methods. Overall, PENGUIN has the potential to transform the textile industry by creating sustainable, efficient, and high-performance textile materials. PENGUIN will contribute to industrial leadership, increased autonomy in strategic value chains, and security of supply in raw materials for resilie
