user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Health and environment integrated methodology and toolbox for scenario assessment' to be submitted under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The Commission has for many years supported the development of methods and tools for health impact assessment (HIA) using the impact pathway approach. The main focus has been on outdoor air pollution and health where HIA methods, developed initially through projects such as ExternE and APHEIS, were extended and used to support policy in many applications, notably via cost-benefit analysis (CBA) for the CAFE programme of DG Environment. ExternE and other projects (HEARTS, METHODEX, INTARESE) have been extending HIA methods into wider aspects of environment and health, e.g. noise, with local case study applications.The aim of HEIMTSA is to support policy for evaluating scenarios at the European level in various industry sectors (transport, agriculture, waste disposal etc.). It will do this by:(i) Extending HIA methods and tools to tackle a wider range of environmental health issues, including pollution from multiple sources and mixtures of pollutants, and(ii) Applying the methods and tools to baseline and prospective future scenarios Europe-wide in the various sectors.The focus will include effects on children and the priority health endpoints as identified in the European Environment and Health Action Plan, but it will not be restricted to them. The actual work will involve methods and tools for scenario development, integrated modelling from emissions to exposure, new dose-response functions, monetary valuation, practical applications, demonstration and training. HEIMTSA will include integrally the evaluation of uncertainty, and close integration across disciplines.Benefits will include:(i) New integrated methods and tools(ii) Applications to policy-relevant Europe-wide scenarios and(iii) New knowledge about which issues of environment and health really matter, and what

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'The Past, Present and Future of Neotropical Biodiversity' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The American tropics – the Neotropics – comprise more species than any other region on Earth, including thousands of species used as crops, medicines and crafts. Understanding the evolution of this biodiversity and predicting the effects of climate and habitat changes on species losses constitute a major scientific challenge.This project will:1) Estimate the rates of historical migration, speciation and extinction among and within all major Neotropical biomes and regions, thereby identifying key areas for ‘evolutionary’ conservation (i.e., those necessary for biotic interchange and vegetation shifts, and those that may function as ‘species pumps’ to the rest of the continent).2) Test competing hypotheses of speciation (soil specialisation, temperature increases, polyploidy, habitat shifts, range expansion) for the two main centres of Neotropical biodiversity: the tropical Andes and Amazonia.3) Produce new estimates on species losses due to on-going climate and habitat changes based on our new findings in 1) and 2) above.To achieve these goals we will develop novel bioinformatics pipelines that will greatly improve our use of biological databases. We will analyse DNA sequences, georeferences and biotic traits for tens of thousands of plant and animal species. Our tools will enable continuously up-to-date inferences and allow the easy integration of new data by students and researchers interested in the evolution of particular species groups or biomes.This is a multi-disciplinary project that requires a wide range of skills in molecular phylogenetics, bioinformatics, field botany, ecology and palaeontology. It will greatly profit from the well-established scientific network I have built up in my career, the vast collections of Neotropical species deposited at European nat

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Financing of renewable energy systems'.

assistant: **Concept**

Objectives A large number of proven technical solutions exist for the use of renewable energies. However, their dissemination is still too slow to meet the political goal of substituting 8-15% of primary energy demand in the EU by the year 2010. Even renewable energy systems (RES) with economic potential are only partly exploited. There is a long literature concerning the barriers to renewable energy use. In particular it had become clear that the availability of finance and the forms and conditions upon which it is lent has a major impact on renewable energy deployment. An area of importance is the deficiency of appropriate ownership forms and properly adapted financing instruments in certain countries. Moreover, different regulations and institutional barriers in the European countries hinder the free flow of capital for RES within the European common market. However, solutions for establishing RES have been developed very successfully in individual countries. Differences in cultures and institutions have promoted growth of several approaches to RES investment. These differences can be understood as a European source of experience that constitutes a rich basis for transnational emulation. FIRE will analyse and compare the means of financing RES in Austria, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom to put forward best practise recommendations so that renewable energy deployments will occur at a faster rate. The main tasks of this study are to: - Analyse the means of financing RES in a number of countries. - Provide an analysis of best practise means of financing RES - Provide an analysis of the barriers to the implementation of these means in the investigated countries. FIRE addresses politicians, potential investors and project-developers

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'SANDWICH MATERIAL AND STRUCTURE'.

assistant: **Innovation**

In the space industry, a growing demand is to make structures lighter, while optimizing the mass/stiffness/strength ratio.. To do so, the sandwich architecture appears to be the most efficient design. The main objective of Sandwich Material and Structure (SMS) project is then to develop an ultra-stable and low weight structure, based on such architecture. This optimized structure will combine innovative solutions such as cyanate-ester / pitch fiber Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) raw material, cyanate-ester / pitch fiber CFRP honeycomb and advanced joining solutions.To validate the performance of such assembly, SMS will work on a sandwich mirror structure use case.. The development of a groundbreaking joining solution, based on organic, inorganic or hybrid chemistry, will ensure optimal structural cohesion. The implementation of Zerodur® skins to create the mirror will allow to measure optical performances and to characterize the stability of the structure.SMS work plan includes the identification of requirements at system and building blocks level, the development of European sourced cyanate-ester CFRP and CFRP honeycomb, the tuning of an efficient joining method and a Breadboard prototyping and tests.SMS project will ensure the compatibility of its developments with the European legislation and regulation, as well as foresee their up-scaling at industrial level and their dissemination towards research groups and SMEs.All the achievements will focus on developing a range of new space products from non-space low TRL technologies.At project end, SMS will achieve a Technological Readiness Level (TRL) 4-5, with the identification of the way forward to qualify and industrialize very large scale structures.SMS will be supported by a well-balanced and transdisciplinary

user: Explain how 'Indefinite Causal Structures on an Integrated Silicon Platform for Applications in Quantum Computing' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Quantum computation achieves a speed-up by placing quantum bits (qubits) in superpositions of different states. However, it has recently been appreciated that quantum mechanics allows one to superimpose not only states but also operations. Furthermore, coherently controlling the operation order with a quantum system enables task completion with fewer operations than any known quantum algorithm. This striking and new way to manipulate the information has not  been technologically exploited yet because it requires coherently controlling and simultaneously manipulating high-dimensional quantum systems and multiple degrees of freedom. However, recent progress on Silicon Photonics allows the generation and manipulation of photonic high-dimensional quantum states in the frequency domain fostering the implementation of new complex quantum architectures.  The purpose of this project is to create high-dimensional quantum systems with superposition of operation orders exploiting a multi-color Si photon-pair source.  The unique combination of expertise of the experienced researcher and host institution offer all the ingredients to significantly contribute to the transition to a new era in quantum computing where information is processed with indefinite operation order. The project will allow us to scale up superposition of operation orders in order to solve computational problems, and thus to contribute to the transition of the field from fundamental physics to application-oriented research.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Excitonic 2D Metasurfaces for Active Multifunctional Flat Optics' (ExMAM), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Can light fields be manipulated by a single atomic layer? Can quantum mechanical effects in monolayer materials be harnessed to realize dynamic optical elements? Recent work has demonstrated that light-weight and ultra-thin nanostructured optical coatings (metasurfaces) can perform the same optical functions as conventional bulky optical components. Despite these advances, metasurface optical elements have remained static. At the same time, newly emerging and future applications require optical elements with dynamic control of their functionality.Here, I propose to lay the foundations of a completely new class of tunable and multifunctional optical elements by combining recent developments in 2D material science, quantum physics, and nanophotonics, resulting in highly novel excitonic 2D metasurfaces. Building on my strong expertise in the fields of optical metasurfaces and 2D material physics, I will employ monolayer 2D quantum materials to actively tune the optical response of novel nonlocal metasurfaces. These atomically-thin materials exhibit a strong quantum-mechanical exciton resonance in the visible spectral range, even at room temperature. Using electrical control over this exciton resonance, I will study the interplay of localized excitons and delocalized optical modes. Next, I will realize ultracompact optical elements with electrically-tunable functionality. Finally, I will develop novel methods to combine stacked metasurfaces in compound meta-optics that offer multifunctional dynamic optical components.The excitonic 2D metasurfaces open new routes to study the unconventional properties of quantum materials in quantum optics, nanophotonics, and solid-state physics. At the same time, the results of this project open an entirely new approach for the design of ac

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Real-time distribution grid monitoring and automated fault management system' (SynchroGuard).

assistant: **Concept**

SynchroGuard is a highly flexible and customisable solution for smart distribution grids, offering combined monitoring, control and fault management in one single solution. SynchroGuard provides to utility operators real-time visibility of the grid status, enables safe integration of renewable energy resources, and optimises grid operation for higher efficiency/reliability by quickly reacting or even pre-empting faults.Competing solutions require both current and voltage sensors at every measurement point to get a complete snapshot of the monitored grid. This is extremely inefficient, as every time a voltage sensor must be installed, a cluster of nearby customers is temporarily disconnected. In contrast, SynchroGuard is the first real-time and cost-effective solution that can be retrofitted to existing distribution grids without disruption, and provide fast response on transient grid events. The key innovation is the use of synchrophasor measurements, which are very frequent and time-synchronized measurements of voltage and current signals, taking advantage of voltage sensors already installed at the primary substation, and requiring only additional clamp-on current sensors, which are cheap and non-invasive.The Distribution Automation (DA) and Substation Automation (SA) segments of the energy management system market already represent €6.5Bn and are expected to grow to €10Bn by 2021. Our initial market research in Europe shows that we can address a market of €1.6Bn with 150 utilities representing 2M substations, building on our initial market traction with utilities in the Netherlands, Switzerland and Hong Kong.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Agents of Change: Women Editors and Socio-Cultural Transformation in Europe (1710-1920)' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project examines a neglected aspect of the social and cultural life in Europe in the modern period: the impact of women editors on public debate. From the 1700s on, European women actively participated in the cultural arena through the journals that they edited. This project advances the hypothesis that periodical editorship enabled these women to take a prominent role in public life, to influence public opinion and to shape transnational processes of change. In order to test this hypothesis, the project will bring together a multilingual and multidisciplinary team of six researchers who will combine methodologies from literary studies, (women’s) history and the social sciences to map the transnational networks of intellectual exchange in which women editors participated, with particular attention to practices of textual transfer (including translation, adaptation, reprinting and reviewing) across language boundaries and historical periods. The project has two parts: 1) a database will take stock of women editors and their periodicals, make available new material and provide a data source for socio-textual network analysis; 2) five thematic subprojects will study the impact of women editors on some of the most significant processes of socio-cultural transformation in modern European history: the beginnings of the periodical press, the rise of the novel, domestic ideology, consumer culture and women’s rights. By examining how these processes unfolded in the press through practices of textual transfer both among women and in the larger publishing landscape, the project will not only initiate a shift in our thinking about the participation of women in society and print culture but also pave the way for pan-European research on the periodical press.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'O2-Activation at nickel complexes and their use as catalysts for environmentally friendly oxidation technologies'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The goal of the proposed research plan is the preparation of nickel complexes as catalysts for the oxidation of hydrocarbons using environmentally friendly oxidants like molecular oxygen (O2) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The complexes will be prepared using highly robust nitrogen-based ligand scaffolds and carbene N-heterocyclic systems. Different ligands with different architectures (from bidentate to pentadentate) will be used in order to evaluate the most suitable scaffold for nickel and several substrates will be used in order to test the activity of the prepared catalysts in oxidation reactions of inactivated organic compounds. Moreover, their ability to perform stereospecific reactions using more complicated targets (natural products) bearing several non-equivalent C-H bonds will also be tested. This subject is specially relevant and interesting due to the importance of selectively incorporate oxidized functionality into organic frameworkds. The performance of asymmetric oxdiation processes may be achieved by the use of chiral ligands. Moreover, the active species implicated in the oxidation processes will be studied. In this sense, the preparation of nickel complexes based on carbene N-heterocyclic ligands may allow the access to low-valent complexes (Ni0 or NiI) which may be capable of direct activation of molecular O2 leading to the formation and detection of Ni-O2 species which may be responsible for the oxidation reactions. Relevant aspects to be considered are their electronic structure, the reversibility of the interaction, the basicity and electrophilicity of these species and their ability to oxidize organic substrates. These Ni-O2 species may possess different oxidation profiles towards exogenous substrates depending on the ligand architecture.
