user: Explain how 'ONTHEFRINGE: Optical interferometry in trainning and in context' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

ONTHEFRINGE is a series of four schools designed to train young astronomers in optical interferometry. Optical interferometry is a new technology enabling observations with angular resolution an order of magnitude larger than the largest single telescopes available at visible and infrared wavelengths. Optical interferometry is the only technology allowing the systematic direct detection and characterization of Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. Therefore it plays a key role in ESA s long-range plan th rough the Darwin mission, and in NASA s Origins program. On the ground Europe has achieved world leadership with the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). Interferometry from the ground will play a central role in: a) understanding the lifecycles of stars in the Milky Way, b) the discovery and characterization of planets orbiting stars in the solar neighborhood, and c) the understanding of the energy conversion mechanisms in Active Galactic Nuclei. The goal of the schools is to train a new generat ion of astronomers in the use of the VLTI, building critical mass in this emergent field, applying it to astrophysical areas of European leadership, optimizing the scientific use of the VLTI investment, overcoming fragmentation and uneven distribution of k nowledge in optical interferometry in the European research area, therefore increasing European competitiveness in the scientific ground and space program enabled by optical interferometry. The schools consist in: a) two data reduction schools were young a stronomers will learn the essentials to become proficient users of the VLTI; b) two thematic schools where optical interferometry is presented in context with other very high angular resolution techniques in key astrophysical areas of European leadership ( AGN

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Gain-endowed metallic meta-structures and devices: towards a unification of photonics and electronics'.

assistant: **Innovation**

This research project aims at building a common framework for photonic and meta-material /electronic devices. As specific examples, we will focus on making key advances for THz and mid-infrared emitters and detectors. Our goal is to demonstrate device functionalities which cannot be achieved within the current scientific/technological framework.We will implement these concepts on quantum cascade lasers, a family of devices whose potential has seen an explosion in the last few years. They cover the THz (1-10THz) and mid-infrared (10-100THz) ranges of the spectrum, of great importance for medical and environmental applications, and security screening. Their spectral location - between near-infrared and microwaves - makes them ideal candidates to profit from both worlds.We will first address a fundamental physical issue, then we’ll turn to device applications. While optical resonators are constrained to a minimum dimension set by the wavelength, a peculiar signature of an electronic oscillator is its independence from it. Our first goal is the demonstration of an optical oscillator/laser with the functionalities of an electronic oscillator, i.e. with fundamentally no lower size limit in the three dimensions of space. It will behave as a point-source of radiation.We will then focus on ground-breaking demonstrations in the THz and mid-infrared ranges of the spectrum: THz lasers which are frequency tuneable acting on a disentangled (electronic) section; electronically beam-steerable devices; antenna-coupled THz quantum detectors. The integration with MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) is also developed in the proposal. This project will also open up horizons and research opportunities on longer-term topics. We will develop strategies to compensate the ohmic losses of mid

user: Draft an impact statement for 'REvolutionized Construction of HEteRojunCtions for pHotocatalytic CO2 rEduction', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Harnessing solar energy through photocatalytic CO2 reduction (PCR) is a promising means to address the escalating environmental challenges and energy crises simultaneously. One of the primary challenges in photocatalysis and PCR is the issue of charge carrier recombination within semiconductor heterojunctions. While these heterostructures promise to improve charge separation, internal recombination processes can undermine their efficiency. To address this challenge, the proposal describes a novel method for optimizing charge carrier diffusion lengths within materials. This strategy involves a two-step process. The first step is to prepare each semiconductor component individually, with particle size proportional to charge carrier diffusion length, and then assemble them using the electrostatic self-assembly technique to fabricate tandem Z scheme heterostructures. Balancing the generation of electrons within heterojunction systems is another critical factor in achieving efficient charge transfer. The proposal suggests considering the optical absorption coefficient of semiconductors within the heterojunction, drawing inspiration from the solar cell field. This approach can potentially revolutionize heterojunction design and enhance the charge carrier separation and the efficiency of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The overarching research objective is to understand the limitations of current heterogeneous photocatalysts and design novel tandem Z scheme photocatalysts. The focus is optimizing absorption coefficients and diffusion lengths and constructing novel tandem Z scheme configurations. Advanced analytical techniques will validate the success of these heterostructures, contributing to the development of efficient photocatalytic systems. These innovations promise enhance

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Video indexing classification annotation and retrieval' (VICAR).

assistant: **Concept**

The overall aim of the project is to develop a system which includes each of the functions required to index & search videos. The primary focus is the professional video archive market, for which a pilot system will be developed. The requirements for adapting the software to smaller scale operations (consumer market) will be taken into account. The project will install a pilot version at the end user sites to measure user acceptance. The end users will create indexes of a high percentage of their digital video material and provide them to a central site, which will maintain them on an HPC system and provide a global search service. A WWW interface will enable access to the system. Quality and robustness of the search results is a major technical goal.The project will develop a software system for the automatic generation of semantic indexes for video and for associative search in the index structures thus formed. This environment will function as a learning system that is trained on reference material (video with content descriptions) to construct relevant high dimensional feature representations.The product Video Explorer of the project is a semantic indexing and retrieval engine for video databases. The project will develop software products for the creation of video indexes and for searching within such an index. It will also build up a prototype service which makes use of this software and the parallel computer at VECPC to enable a wider-scale search and retrieval of centrally stored index material. Although the service will begin with content provided primarily by the end users in this project, it is believed that in the longer term there is a large potential market both on the supply as well as on the demand side. A new company will be formed in order to fully exp

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Sustainable and cost-effective production process for the upcycling of olive, grape and nut by-products into 4 natural and healthy ingredients for nutraceutical and cosmetic applications' (UP4HEALTH) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The UP4HEALTH project provides the demonstration at pre-industrial scale of an INTEGRATED BIOREFINERY for the recovery of valuable biomolecules from food processing by-products and their conversion into natural, healthy and sustainable high added-value products for the NUTRACEUTICALS and COSMETIC sectors. UP4HEALTH ingredients will be of suitable quality to meet market requirements of CONSUMERS and INDUSTRY in these sectors: consumers are demanding functional natural products and industry is demanding bio-based formulations for better performance and higher sustainability.Olive and grape by-products are underexploited residual biomass rich in bioactive compounds, resulting in a great market opportunity for the UP4HEALTH project. Although existing technologies are promising for the recovery of high added-value ingredients inside the food chain, products from the valorisation of food by-products are still rather limited in the market. The main challenge is to validate an appropriate business model for the affordable upgrading at large scale of a wide variety in composition of by-products from the food processing industry, overcoming bottlenecks like logistic issues and investment costs.UP4HEALTH upcycling process integrates a unique ZERO WASTE sustainable process for 4 locally available Mediterranean feedstocks from food processing (olive pomace, grape pomace, nut by-products and olive pits) to deliver 4 ORGANIC, NATURAL, SUSTAINABLE & HEALTHY INGREDIENTS: natural fruit water rich in polyphenols, polyphenol-rich dietary fibre, fruit natural oily extracts and prebiotic Xylooligosaccharides. UP4HEALTH ingredients will be integrated intofunctional food, nutraceutical supplements and cosmetics, targeting a wide niche population. The remaining solid fraction from the hydrolysi

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Minimum viable product for automated 3D imaging reconstruction of the bladder and the bladder cancer' (AIR3D), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

AIR3D will validate the business potential of the automatic 3D imaging reconstruction software developed within the EDIT FET project. Such software allows performing fast, non-invasive 3D visualization of several information on the bladder in real-time with user friendly interaction with the operator. It combines pre-clinical information from Ultra Sound (US) and Photoacoustic (PA) imaging towards the early diagnosis of bladder cancer and monitoring of cancer progress during therapy and follow-up. Ultrasound (US) and PA imaging are non-invasive non-ionizing technologies, but imaging reconstruction methods are still time-consuming (in particular for high-volume organ as bladder), being manual or semi-manual processes and requiring well trained people.Nowadays bladder cancer is the ninth most common malignancy globally, with an estimated 430.000 new diagnoses annually, while it has the highest lifetime treatment costs per patient of all cancers. The successful adoption of the software by the market will improve early diagnosis of cancer and better monitoring of the efficacy of ongoing therapies (more accurate and precise 3D images available immediately), as consequence the software will have both societal and economic impact, improving the quality of life of millions of people while reducing social costs and costs of care centres in image processing (no high-skilled personnel needed).During AIR3D, owners of the EDIT software (LIME and OSR) will be supported by and advisory company (META) to define the best exploitation model for the commercialisation of the software and validate it through the use of the Lean Start up approach. Interaction with relevant stakeholders are foreseen for the validation of the pre-commercial prototype (testing at early adopters’ premises), rais

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Interactions between chromatin and transposable elements in rapid adaptation to environmental stress'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Understanding how organisms adapt to the environmental perturbations, including those caused by human activity, is a key question in evolutionary biology. Some organisms appear to adapt more rapidly than expected, and two factors predicted to contribute to this are environmentally sensitive epigenome regulation and transposable element (TE) activity under stress. Recent molecular studies have shown how interactions between the epigenome and TEs can affect genome evolution in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster. However, little is known about how these processes interact in natural populations, limiting our understanding of their role in population adaptation under environmental change.Environmentally sensitive interactions between the epigenome and TEs are underpinned by dynamic chromatin states regulating gene expression. Understanding how chromatin varies across populations and how responsive it is to environmental change is key to evaluating the role of epigenome-TE interactions in adaptation. Here we will measure natural variation in chromatin accessibility in different populations of D. melanogaster and look for associations between chromatin accessibility and polymorphic TEs. Proximate mechanisms (RNA and chromatin responses to stress) and phenotypic outcomes (life history traits) will be measured over multiple generations. Longer term evolutionary consequences will be measured in invasive and native populations of D. melanogaster and the more recently invading D. suzukii, and TEs associated with differential chromatin regulation in invasive populations will be validated using functional genomics techniques including CRISPR-Cas9.These data will reveal how interactions between chromatin states and TEs can shape adaptation over different organisational scales, from

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Portable Weigher for Railway Vehicles' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The Council Directive 91/440/EEC, by separating the operation and the infrastructure management, causes for the Rail Infrastructure Managers (RIM) the necessity of making the railway network quality objective to their customers. This translates to a great demand for diagnostic instruments. The weight transferred from a rolling stock to the rail is an important factor in rail line wear. Being able to frequently measure these weights allows cost effective maintenance and safety guarantees. The state-of-the-art systems for rolling stock weight measurement imply high costs and long execution times. Besides being fixed systems, they are limited to a few locations in the rail network limiting the frequency of diagnostic activities, slowing down the maintenance and control processes. IVM has developed an innovative POrtable WEigher for Railway VEhicle (POWERVE) advances the management process of rolling stock fleets by opening to new diagnostic and maintenance scenarios: it is a crucial step forward into the direction of a frequent and fine-grain monitoring of the health of rolling stocks which is necessary for the sustainability of todays and future railway infrastructure. The innovation lies in the development of high tech compact load cells, which allows the creation of a portable, low cost, highly accurate and easy to use weighing system. The potential market for this system has already been confirmed by RFI, the Italian RIM. POWERVE brought innovation in the control and management process of RFI’s fleet by enabling a fine grain monitoring of rolling stocks’ weight, our ambition is to promote the management process innovation of railway infrastructure managers all over Europe. The main goal of this project is to assess the best approach to reach EU RIMS, to market POWERVE

user: Describe how 'Development of Low Stress No Distortion Welding for Industrial Applications.' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Current methods of fabrication involving welding usually result in significant welding distortion problems. Thin walled structures are particularly susceptible in the automotive, shipbuilding and aerospace industries. The cost and time required correcting for distortions can be significant (for example in Europe annual estimates are in excess of 100M). This results in reduced competitiveness and the creation of uneconomic designs, which are produced to compensate for anticipated distortions.   Low Stress No Distortion (LSND) welding is currently a laboratory based technique for eliminating buckling distortions and reducing tensile residual stresses. It involves local cooling behind the welding torch restricting shrinkage of the weld. The benefits of using LSND include: elimination of rework, reduced fabrication costs, improved joint properties, lower residual stresses, increased manufacturability of lightweight components and a reduction in scrap and recycling requirements. Although highly advantageous, LSND has not been fully exploited, due to practical difficulties associated with process parameter optimisation and shielding of the cooling gas.   The objective of this project is to conduct further research in LSND welding with the help of a research Fellow from China. The Fellow will conduct fundamental scientific research to address issues associated with industrialisation of the LSND technique.   The project will involve training the Fellow in aspects related to the simulation of the welding process where there is local cooling from CO2 gas. The Fellow will also be trained in aspects of advanced welding equipment prototype manufacture by developing components of an industrial LSND device. The Fellow will also develop a novel shield for preventing cooling gases from
