user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Exploring diversity in wild wheat relatives and their septoria pathogens to unveil determinants of specificity, effector dynamics, and resistance gene composition host'.

assistant: **Concept**

SPECIFY aims to address the urgent global challenge of food security by enhancing wheat resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici, the pathogen responsible for Septoria tritici blotch (STB). STB significantly threatens wheat production, leading to substantial annual losses. Current management strategies, including resistant cultivars and fungicides, are increasingly ineffective due to the pathogen's rapid development of resistance. Our research seeks to explore diversity in wild wheat relatives and their septoria pathogens to uncover the genetic basis of host-pathogen interactions in Z. tritici. We will leverage a unique collection of Z. tritici isolates from Iran and integrate genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with map-based cloning to identify key effector genes. This dual approach will provide robust insights into pathogen adaptation mechanisms, guiding the development of targeted breeding strategies for resistant crops and novel fungicides. Additionally, we will explore the transcriptome and genome data of native Iranian Aegilops species infected by Z. tritici to identify resistance genes (R-genes). By comparing gene expression profiles between resistant and susceptible Aegilops samples, we aim to pinpoint key genes involved in the resistance response. These discoveries will be validated through functional assays and potentially introduced into wheat varieties to enhance STB resistance. Our interdisciplinary methodology combines genetics, genomics, plant pathology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics to comprehensively understand host-pathogen interactions. This project not only aims to advance scientific knowledge but also to translate findings into practical solutions for sustainable agriculture, ultimately enhancing global wheat production resilience.

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Diamond Lasers: Revolutionising Laser Engineering' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Over the last three years, synthetic single crystal diamond with high optical quality has become available for the first time. The time is thus ripe to exploit this unique material for laser engineering. Building on their pioneering work characterising, modelling and experimentally proving this material, this team will explore novel means to harness its the extraordinary properties – a thermal conductivity that is one to two orders of magnitude greater than conventional solid-state laser materials, an extremely high rigidity, excellent resistance to mechanical stress, a wide transparency window, and very good Raman gain properties. The thermal conductivity of diamond, in particular, has the potential to revolutionise solid-state laser design. To date, the design of a solid-state laser has largely been driven by the need to manage heat – the use of diamond can remove this requirement leading to simpler and more compact designs for high performance lasers. This programme will focus on introducing laser gain to structures based on novel high optical quality diamond. Four principal approaches will be examined:1. Developing high thermal conductivity hybrid structures by sandwiching thin slices of laser gain material between layers of diamond.2. Using the high Raman gain in diamond to develop high performance diamond Raman lasers3. Exploiting optically efficient, room-temperature colour centres in diamond to develop a revolutionary suite of broadly tuneable and ultrafast visible lasers.4. Exploring the direct doping of diamond with laser ions, building on the rapid recent progress in diamond synthesis.Encompassing laser physics, materials science and device engineering, this programme will balance risk and reward to help position Europe as the world-leader in laser engineerin

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'No Longer Researching About Us Without Us' (NRWU) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

As a research project 'Nothing about us without us' is based on the values of belonging, equality, and respect. These values are at the core of the concept of equal opportunity and full participation of people with learning disabilities in their quest for inclusive lives. The project responds to the criticism made by members of disabled groups that in the past research has succeeded in doing things to people with disabilities rather than including them in the setting of the research agenda.This latter approach has been described by the Incoming International Fellow as inclusive research. This project has four main aims and will work in an inclusive/participatory manner with a group of 15 participants with learning disabilities and five without as well as a reference group of interested stakeholders. The four stages of the project will cover participants undertaking a professional development course on inclusive research that leads to accessible outcomes for all involved; then implementing inclusive re search projects focussed upon the participants lives, such as, oral histories; followed by implementing inclusive research projects in collaboration with local agencies and community groups within Ireland; and finally setting up inclusive research networks between Ireland and across the European Union.

user: Explain how 'The ATP-P2X7R axis: a target for drug-refractory epilepsy' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

Current epilepsy therapies, based on mediating excitation or inhibition have no impact on disease progression and are ineffective in over 30% of patients, demonstrating the urgent need for therapies with different mechanisms of action. An exciting concept is that increased hyperexcitability states and network changes are caused and maintained by a sustained glial activation.The ATP-gated P2X7 receptor (P2X7R), a gatekeeper of inflammation, has recently emerged as a promising target for epilepsy, showing anticonvulsant and disease-modifying properties in animal models. To bring P2X7R further towards a clinical application, however, important gaps in our understanding must be filled. Evidence for ATP release in the brain during seizures is currently lacking, the cell types involved in pathological P2X7R activation must be determined, and whether results from rodent models can be replicated in human tissue must be tested. Recent technical advances now bring the answers to these questions within reach. EpiPur brings together a team of experts in purinergic signalling, industrial partners specialised in the development of P2X7R antagonists and epilepsy clinicians. Biosensors will be used to record ATP in vivo with high sensitivity and temporal resolution; new transgenic mouse lines will be used to elucidate the subcellular expression and cell-specific disease contribution of P2X7R. Newly developed P2X7R antagonists will be tested in brain tissue resected from epilepsy patients. This highly interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach will add a significant contribution to the understanding of neuroinflammatory processes in disorders of the CNS. Further, the skills acquired during the research project, the excellent training record of the supervisor and host institution and t

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Large Area Neutral Density Solid State Electrochromic Coating for I mproved Performance of Displays, Automative and Architectural Glass'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The consortium proposes to develop an electrochromic coating technology and to build a working prototype to demonstrate a uniquely tunable glass coating. Important applications are TV screens that can be adjusted to suit changing viewing conditions and architectural glass that can be optionally set for energy economy. The innovative features of this materials research project provide its name LANDSEC which stands for Large Area Neutral Density Solid state Electrochromic Coating. Current state of the art are small, blue colouring devices between glass plates. Electrochromic projects in execution aim for medium sized blue colouring devices. In LANDSEC materials and technologies for large size. grey coloured all solid state electrochromic coatings will be developed. The consortium comprises a TV tube manufacturer (Philips) and a manufacturer of glazings (SaintGobain) that both are interested in producing LANDSEC systems for their respective applications. These enterprises and a TV set maker (Bang&Olufsen), who will be involved in developing the driving electronics, may also act as end user of the product. The needed special precursors will be synthesized by a SME (Inorgtech). The fundamental research of the intercalation processes and electrochemical characterization will be carried out by two universities (Technical University of Berlin and University of Picardie Jules Verne, respectively). Budgeted over 4 years at 5.4 MECU the project addresses a market segment worth 3,500 MECU for TVs and another 3,500 MECU for architectural glazings at end prices in Europe alone and offers significant prospects for the employees of the industrial partners.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Choices and consumption: modelling long and short term decisions in a changing world' (DECISIONS), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Mathematical models of choice behaviour are used to understand consumer decisions and valuations and forecast choices across a range of topic areas, including transport and regional science. Their outputs form a key component in guidance underpinning government and industry decisions on changes to policy, infrastructure developments or the introduction of new services or products. Given the significant financial, environmental and societal implications of such decisions, model accuracy is crucial. Current models however, while powerful and flexible, still present a highly abstract representation of consumer decisions. This project aims to develop a new framework which realigns modelled behaviour with real world behaviour, jointly representing the choice of multiple options or products and the quantity of consumption for each of these. In contrast with existing work, these choices will be placed within a wider framework, incorporating links between long term decisions and day to day choices, accounting for the growing importance of virtual social networks and the role of joint decisions. The work will ensure consistency with economic theory and in particular deal with the formation and role of budgets and constraints. While many developments will take place within the random utility framework, the project will also operationalize alternative theories of behaviour, such as non-compensatory decision rules from mathematical psychology. To ensure the transition of methodological developments into practice, I will test the models and illustrate their advantages in a large scale application studying the relationship between long term decisions and short term energy consumption. I will ensure that the models can produce output suitable for economic analysis and will develop fre

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Novel technique for in-process monitoring of surfactant production by small-angle X-ray scattering' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

In the industrial production of modern concentrated surfactants, which despite their high concentration of dry matter (>60%) remain pourable liquids, the precise control of water content is essential. Up till now, this was normally achieved through adjustments in a discontinuous batch process. The introduction of a continuous in-line measurement and control method would strongly increase the production efficiency and reduce waste. The main reason for chosing X-ray small-angle scattering (SAXS) as the measurement principle lies in the fact that this method sees" only the relevant water content in the liquid crystalline phase and is not perturbed by macroscopic bubbles, which are always present in such products. The objectives are to design, build and test a prototype SAXS camera system which can detect changes in lattice constance of +/- 0.1 Å (0,01 nm) in the range between 25 and 60 Å , and which can operate reliably and automatically in a rough chemical plant environment.The hardware for four detector systems has been procured / developed. Assembly of the one detector has taken place, with others to follow very shortly. All reports up to year four were submitted and accepted by the EEC.Partner 1 (IBR Graz, SME) is project coordinator and provides the physico-chemical know-how concerning the SAXS method towards conceptual and technical design. Partner 1 also performs the system assembly and laboratory testing of the prototype. Partner 2 (HECUS M.Braun-Graz, SME) is concerned with the data acquisition and processing components and with the automatic measurement control. Partner 3 (M. Braun Garching, SME) performs the development of the controlled-environment system enclosure, necessary to maintain precision under industrial conditions. Partner 4 (OCSAM Udine, SME) is res

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Towards a Sustainable and Affordable Healthcare' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The aim of this action is to prepare the future for health research and innovation to contribute significantly towards a sustainable and affordable healthcare.EU-wide there is a clear and present need to contain healthcare costs to keep the healthcare affordable to all EU citizens. In many EU member states healthcare budgets are overstretched and in some states the growth of these budgets seem even out of control. The societal and economic impact of this emerging trend is significant, jeopardizing the affordability of healthcare to all EU-citizens.The EU R&D–program could act as an important catalyst for change. Insights are needed on important cost drivers and on the influence of institutional settings. Innovations in technology and methods, which can contain future costs, should be developed and utilized. The challenge is to do so while maintaining or even improving the quality of care.EU-key players need to come together to discuss this challenge. In collaboration a strategy plan for the development of this research area need to be defined to facilitate and realize the needed breakthrough. They should define a roadmap to:1) Advice on shifts in accents towards cost containment in the present HEALTH-R&D program and other initiatives and2) Develop a supplementary R&D – agenda to fill in the present R&D gaps and needs for a breakthrough in cost containment.This roadmap will contribute to keep the present and future EU HEALTH R&D program relevant to all EU-citizens.WE-CARE presents a multi-disciplinary approach since financial, technical, economic, cultural and ethical aspects are strongly intertwined. The consortium will seek cooperation with relevant EU initiatives to gain as much impact without developing new, solitary actions.Though the aim of this action is to develo

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Primary Sector Working Group Support Project' (RootLinks) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Engaging primary producers (PP) in RDI programs remains a significant challenge across Europe. This challenge is driven by factors such as limited access to information, low awareness of bio-based solutions, and various structural, financial, and regulatory barriers. These obstacles hinder PP integration into emerging circular bio-based value chains, despite the potential to introduce new business models that offer environmental benefits, including energy and nutrient recycling, sustainable production systems, and new revenue streams in rural areas.The CBE JU is committed to enhancing the involvement of primary producers within its funding schemes and the resulting innovative solutions. To this end, a Working Group on Primary Producers (WGPP) will be established, bringing together sector representatives from agriculture, forestry, and the blue economy. This group will develop an Action Plan aimed at strengthening the role of PPs in future CBE JU-funded projects and beyond. RootLinks will support and facilitate the efforts of the WGPP in co-creating and implementing this Action Plan. It includes horizontal and sector-specific actions designed to improve the role of primary producers in CBE JU programming, increase their participation in calls, and enhance their ability to exploit new value chains. The focus will be on to generate direct, tangible, and measurable benefits for PP, empowering them to become strong partners in cross-disciplinary bio-based research and innovation projects across Europe. Furthermore, RootLinks actions will enhance the roles of PP in exploiting innovations and related value chains, fostering improved collaboration between PPs and the bio-based industry. RootLinks offers a unique portfolio of sector expertise and competencies, implementing a com

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Powerful and Efficient EUV Coherent Light Sources' (PECS) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The interest in and hence the need for coherent short-wavelength (EUV spectral range) laser sources is rapidly increasing. Potentially, such sources will allow for novel approaches in fundamental science, metrology, imaging, spectroscopy and might even enable new lithographic production techniques. One example is Atto-Science, one of the groundbreaking topics in physical science of the next decade. High harmonic generation (HHG) in noble gases is considered as the most suitable technique to generate spatially coherent EUV light. Unfortunately, the conversion efficiency of HHG is rather small. Furthermore, conventional ultra-short pulse laser sources required for HHG are limited in average power due to thermo-optical problems, therefore, the resulting EUV radiation is characterized by an extremely low number of photons per unit time (average power). Consequently, all the applications of EUV radiation suffer from the lack of powerful coherent light sources in this interesting spectral range, which results extremely long integration or processing times. Ultimately this lack of power make current EUV sources be considered as laboratory curiosities without any relevance for real world applications. The goal of the proposed project is to investigate novel methods to increase the efficiency and the average output power of HHG based EUV light sources. Of outmost importance is the development of efficient, compact and powerful (>3 kW average power) high peak power (>100 MW) ultra-short pulse (<200 fs) laser systems to drive the HHG process. Fiber based amplifiers have the potential to fulfil this parameter range in a compact und ultra-stable manner allowing the generation of EUV radiation outside a specially protected laboratory environment. In summary, the goal of the proposed
