user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'MANAGING THE EFFECTS OF MULTIPLE STRESSORS ON AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS UNDER WATER SCARCITY'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Water and water-related services are major components of the human wellbeing, and as such are major factors of socio-economic development in Europe; yet freshwater systems are under threat by a variety of stressors (organic and inorganic pollution, geomorphological alterations, land cover change, water abstraction, invasive species and pathogens. Some stressors, such as water scarcity, can be a stressor on its own because of its structural character, and drive the effects of other stressors. The relevance of water scarcity as a stressor is more important in semi-arid regions, such as the Mediterranean basin, which are characterized by highly variable river flows and the occurrence of low flows. This has resulted in increases in frequency and magnitude of extreme flow events. Furthermore, in other European regions such as eastern Germany, western Poland and England, water demand exceeds water availability and water scarcity has become an important management issue. Water scarcity is most commonly associated with inappropriate water management, with resulting river flow reductions. It has become one of the most important drivers of change in freshwater ecosystems. Conjoint occurrence of a myriad of stressors (chemical, geomorphological, biological) under water scarcity will produce novel and unfamiliar synergies and most likely very pronounced effects. Within this context, GLOBAQUA has assembled a multidisciplinary team of leading scientists in the fields of hydrology, chemistry, ecology, ecotoxicology, economy, sociology, engineering and modeling in order to study the interaction of multiple stressors within the frame of strong pressure on water resources. The aim is to achieve a better understanding how current management practices and policies could be improved by iden

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Delivery of DVB content over wireless mesh networks' (MESHTV), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

This project will focus on the problem of delivery of DVB services over large scale wireless mesh networks; in particular issues associated with video delivery. The problem is an interesting and timely problem as wireless mesh networks are only now developing the capacities required to make them realistic candidates for video delivery on any realistic scale. This can be largely attributed to increasing data rates of radio interfaces.  There are a number of different aspects to the problem which will be investigated throughout the course of this project. Firstly, an analytical model of the scenario will be developed for a given network topology and user demand. The objective will be to determine the minimum set of DVB receivers that can satisfy the demand subject to some resource usage constraints. Heuristic approaches will be developed to solve this problem and once it has been solved, the members of the project will have a good understanding of how traffic demands, network topology and amount of receivers are related. Following this initial analytical work, a simulation based approach will be employed to determine how dynamic, distributed tree construction mechanisms can work in this context. This will involve devising a solution to the tree construction problem which will be informed by the earlier work (eg what sizes trees are typical, how they are distributed over different radio channels, etc). This tool will likely result in some iterations of the tree construction protocols for this case. Once the simulation-based work is complete, the members of the project will have a concrete proposal for the tree construction mechanisms. Then, they will be in a position to implement a system. This will be done on the wireless mesh network provided by the host. The work will b

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Melanopsin-based vision in health and disease' (MELOVISION).

assistant: **Innovation**

It is now >10 years since the remarkable discovery that photoreception in the mammalian retina occurs outside of rod and cone cells. In that time we have learnt a great deal about the melanopsin expressing retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) that provide this non-rod non-cone photoreception, and about their extensive contribution to sub-conscious light responses. However, one idea that has persisted is that these mRGCs play little if any role in visual perception. Exciting new data challenge that view. Thus, we have recently described an extraordinarily extensive mRGC input to the primary visual pathway. This provides ~40% of neurones in the mouse visual thalamus with melanopsin signals, superimposed upon more conventional visual information. The discovery of this unexpected sensory input to the mammalian visual system raises several important questions: What does it contribute to vision? How is the melanopsin signal brought to the thalamus and how is it propagated/processed through higher visual centres? Does melanopsin help people with retinal degeneration (in which mRGCs long outlive rods and cones) to see? Could optimising melanopsin vision offer a new strategy for improving vision in these people? We propose addressing these questions by using state-of-the-art neurophysiological and anatomical techniques in mice. Our overarching objectives are Objective 1: What does melanopsin contribute to vision? Objective 2: How is melanopsin vision impacted by retinal degeneration?

user: Explain how 'Science for Global Challenges' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

Science for Global Challenges is the motto to engage general public, especially young students, with research activities and scientific knowledge that may answer to major world and European challenges related to environmental, economical and social sustainability. This proposal intends to directly respond to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) goals of the EU framework program by raising public awareness, also among school communities, about the relevance of science to assure resources preservation, green economy, decarbonization, social equity and inclusion, while bridging the gap between scientists and society, giving researchers the opportunity to perceive the main concerns of citizens and how those understand their work. Schools and their students will be involved in activities during the whole project, in order to ensure scholar impact, icluding the younger. By increasing public and students outreach, ‘SCIGLO’ will contribute simultaneously for two main objectives: (i) improving the understanding of the importance of scientific careers development and science investments; (ii) increasing researchers' understanding of the role of society as a whole for sustainable science policies development.The consortium of this project is coordinated by the University of Lisbon through the National Museum of Natural History and Science and combines efforts between researchers of major universities in Portugal, including four urban areas from north to south – the University of Minho, the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, the University of Évora, the University of Coimbra and the Lisbon University Institute for the impact assessment.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Virtual Environments for Rehabilitation of Gender Violence Offenders'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Domestic violence (DV) is a silent, prevalent, serious and preventable human rights abuse. Globally, 38% of all murders of women are committed by a male intimate partner. 30% of women have experienced intimate partner violence in their lifetime, with 8% of women over the age of 15 reporting that they have suffered DV in the previous year.Our Solution VRespect.Me is an immersive Virtual Reality experience that puts the DV offender in the place of the victim. The work is based on the very latest scientific research in cognitive neuroscience that has found that immersive Virtual Reality experiences can modify the socioperceptual processes that underlie the aggressive behaviours exhibited by perpetrators of DV. Research shows that abusive men typically have an inability to recognize fear in a woman’s face. But in our study, using the VRespect.Me, male domestic-violence offenders who embodied the verbally abused woman got significantly better at recognizing a woman’s fear. Essentially, they become more empathic. And a lack of empathy is one of the primary causes of domestic violence.VRespect.Me is currently being used to rehabilitate domestic violence offenders in Catalonia. In phase 1 we will:- Demonstrate the prototype to stakeholders across Europe and beyond.- Build a road map to bring the VRespect.Me to the market- Map the stakeholder environment Understand the different purchasing mechanisms in the field of rehabilitation of domestic violence offenders in different European markets- Identify the key target markets, develop a commercial strategy and update the business planThe Market: European governments spend an estimated 72 billion euros on the impact of domestic violence, with the overall cost to society an estimated 256 billion euros.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'INternational training at the Science-Policy Interface for Researchers in Europe, for Nature'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The growing recognition that biological diversity is a global asset of tremendous value to present and future generations has underpinned a number of multilateral environmental policy agreements, including the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020. Implementing these agreements requires a global-scale cooperation among conservation scientists to collect, mobilise and synthesise biodiversity data and ecological knowledge, and translating them directly into recommendations for conservation action and indicators of progress towards meeting internationally agreed goals and targets. Inspire4Nature’s purpose is to contribute to the formation of a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers by providing them with both research-related and transferable skills which will enable them to work at this science-policy interface, converting their knowledge and ideas into tools for tackling complex global environmental problems. To do so, we propose an ambitious training programme combining individual research projects (leading to PhD degrees) of a high scientific standard strategically positioned at the science-policy interface in biodiversity conservation with a rich network-wide training programme including training events and joint projects that will provide the ESRs with a wide diversity of scientific, communication and project management skills. The Consortium’s strength comes from an unprecedented collaboration between academic and non-academic conservation organisations that will generate in the European research area a unique focus of professional training at the interface between conservation science and policy.

user: Describe how 'Innovation and Demonstration of Selective Electrodialysis for Sustainable Lithium Extraction (SelectLithium)' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The increasing global demand for lithium-ion batteries, driven by the rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and grid-scale energy storage systems, necessitates the development of more efficient, scalable, and sustainable lithium extraction technologies. Traditional lithium extraction from hard rock mining and evaporation ponds is energy-intensive, slow, and environmentally taxing, often leading to significant water consumption and land degradation. Direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies have emerged as a promising solution, enabling higher lithium recovery rates with reduced environmental impact. Among various DLE approaches, electrodialysis using ion-selective membranes shows great promise but existing membranes have low ion selectivity.With the support of ERC-funded curiosity-driven fundamental research, we have developed a new generation of ion-selective membranes with great potential for lithium extraction. This proof-of-concept proposal focuses on advancing the commercialization of ion-selective membranes for DLE. The core objectives include: (1) optimizing membrane chemistries and compositions to improve selectivity of lithium towards other monovalent and divalent ions, as well as mechanical stability and chemical resistance; (2) Optimizing the selectivity of anion exchange membranes used in the electrodialysis system, (3) scaling up the single electrodialysis cell to electrodialysis stack prototype demonstrations to validate performance in complex brine environments; and (4) performing techno-economic assessments to evaluate cost-effectiveness and commercial viability.This project aims to accelerate technology transfer from laboratory research to industrial-scale applications and involves collaboration with industrial partners including large energy and

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Mineral resources in sustainable land-use planning' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Access to mineral resources in Europe is one of the pillars of the RMI. Yet, competing societal interests, such as expanding cities, infrastructure development, agriculture and nature conservation, have had negative effect on the available area for exploration and mining of mineral resources. Consequently,  the supply of mineral raw materials within the EU is at risk. Therefore, the integration of mineral resources policies into land-use planning at different scales and levels is a key factor for achieving the goals of the RMI.The MINLAND project is designed for addressing this challenge: to facilitate minerals and land-use policy making and to strengthen a transparent land use practice. MINLAND is composed around the acknowledgement that the call requires a broad and competent consortium with strong links to related projects and activities, a comprehensive and structured data repository, an efficient work flow and strong and broad stakeholder involvement.MINLAND will address the challenge by: collecting and structuring information from member states and EU activities (stocktaking), performing in-depth analyses and case studies on relevant issues and aspects, and compiling comprehensive and practically applicable guidance documents. Along the work flow, stakeholders will be involved through workshops and participation in case studies and through other dissemination activities.

user: Explain how 'Mobile and Flexible Industrial Processing of Biomass' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

MOBILE FLIP aims at developing and demonstrating mobile processes for the treatment of underexploited agro- and forest based biomass resources into products and intermediates. The processes will be evaluated in terms of raw material flexibility, as the biomass resources are typically scattered and seasonal. Process concepts have been designed around the key technologies pelletizing, torrefaction, slow pyrolysis, hydrothermal pretreatment and carbonisation. The products vary depending on the process concept, being typically fuels as such or for co-combustion (pellets, torrefied pellets, biocoals), biochars for soil remediation, biodegradable pesticides for agricultural or forestry use or chemicals for wood panel industry and sugars and hydrolysable cellulose as intermediate for the sugar platform.  Some of the products are marketable as such, while some others are intermediates to be further valorised by integrated large industries. In the latter case, the mobile unit pre-extracts the valuable components or densifies the biomass to reduce transportation costs. Over-the-fence integration to large industries will be one means to ensure the availability of utilities, such as steam and electricity, whereas in some mobile process concepts the utilities can be produced at site for internal or external uses. The concept evaluations are supported both by research and industrial (SME and large industries) partners in the whole value chains. Preliminary business plan is presented in the proposal and will be updated during the project. Dissemination, communication and exploitation activities will be an integral part of the project. A milestone is defined in the midterm of the project to identify the most feasible process lines for demonstration.  Life-cycle analysis and a wide sust

user: Explain how 'Advanced material solutions for safer and long-lasting high capacity Cobalt Free Batteries for stationary storage applications' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

The project main goal is to develop new generation batteries for battery storage with a modular technology, suitable for different applications and fulfilling the increasing need of decentralised energy production and supply for private households and industrial robotised devices.. New materials and components will be developed and optimised to achieve longer lifetime (up to 10,000 cycles depending on the material selected), lower costs (down to 0.03 €/kWh/cycle), improved safety and more efficient recycling (>50%). The expected results will strengthen EU competitiveness in advanced materials and nanotechnologies and the related battery storage value chain, preparing European industry to be competitive in these new markets. This will be achieved by using high capacity anodes coupled with cobalt free cathode and with a very safe gel polymer electrolyte separator, leveraging partners’ knowledge in advanced materials. This new technology will be developed up to a TRL 6 (large prismatic cell ESP-Cell 30Ah) at the end of the project, producing these novel high voltage high capacity batteries close to practical applications. Further, the proposed solution will allow Europe to become more independent from raw material and the feasibility of a metal recovery process will be deeply investigated and recommendations for future application will be made.To achieve the ambitious targets, the CoFBAT project covers the entire value chain, bringing together industrial experts in material development and battery science together with engineering companies and institutes and battery producers and integrators.
