user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Fast non-invasive bacteria determination in platelet units' (BDFAST).

assistant: **Concept**

Current developments in Medicine have entailed an impressive growth in the use of Platelets concentrates (PCs) for transfusion. Since PCs are kept in 22°C for up to 5 days after donation, they carry a major risk for bacterial contamination and infected PCs have been reported to be the cause of death in 67-77% of all post-transfusion fatalities. To ensure safe platelet transfusions, screening for bacterial contamination prior to transfusion is necessary. In BDFAST a system based on impedance technology will be developed, that will identify and quantify bacteria in platelet bags. It will be non-invasive, cost-effective, take less than 1 minute and do not require any reagents or specialised manpower. The technology that will be used has previously successfully been used for quality control of microorganism in milk.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'TAILORed Energy Distributions for Laser WELDing' (TAILORWELD).

assistant: **Innovation**

Laser beam welding is a high-performance joining process that is rapidly growing; highlighted by the fact that the global market for laser welding equipment has grown 50% since 2004, and was worth €1.1 Billion in 2011. The market is expected to grow a further 6% in 2012, and approximately 50% of revenues are generated from sales to European manufacturers.  The large increase in uptake observed since 2004 has primarily been driven by recent developments in solid-state laser technology leading to the commercial availability of fibre-delivered Yb-fibre, Yb:YAG disc and direct diode laser sources, which have resulted in improved capital cost and reduced operating costs.  However, despite these cost reductions and potential benefits, the uptake of laser welding technology is still limited, especially amongst SMEs, for three related reasons: complexity, lack of flexibility, and difficulties in using lasers for ‘non-standard’ welds.Most existing laser systems are fitted with either a standard process head or a 2D galvanometer scanner – both of which deliver a ‘standard’ Gaussian or ‘top-hat’ energy distribution to the work piece.  However, this relatively simplistic energy distribution is not directly suitable for many applications and significant laser welding expertise is required in order to develop acceptable process parameters. Laser beam welding with a tailored energy distribution produced by a galvanometer beam scanner is possible, but this technology is not economically attractive. Diffractive optical elements are a robust, simple tool and are capable of producing (virtually) unlimited tailored energy distributions.The aim of the TAILOR:WELD project is to develop and demonstrate an innovative laser welding system, that uses simple and robust diffractive optical element

user: Explain how 'Genetic map of European butterflies: Continental-scale cryptic species assessment and comparisons to North America and Australia' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

There is a widely recognized need for more comprehensive understanding of patterns of global biodiversity. Such information will not only address major scientific issues, such as the factors influencing rates of speciation, but it will also add new rigor to conservation programs (a critical need given the looming extinction crisis). This project exploits the power of DNA barcoding to deliver a synoptic overview of biodiversity patterns, and focuses this analysis on butterflies as a model system because they are the most intensively studied invertebrate group in the world. Despite its capacity to contribute important insights into biodiversity, prior work on European butterflies has been restricted to investigations on single nations. The EUGENMAP project raises the scale of analysis to a continent; it will assemble a comprehensive DNA barcode reference library for all European butterflies. This work will provide unprecedented insights into patterns of genetic diversity in European butterflies, revealing cryptic taxa and factors influencing the levels of geographic differentiation in single species.  DNA barcode data will be tactically supplemented with nuclear markers obtained with next generation sequencers and advanced morphometrics to obtain more detailed perspectives in cases where this is justified. Furthermore, EUGENMAP will place the results for the European fauna in a broader context by comparing them with parallel investigations on the North American and Australian faunas. This analysis will provide a near global perspective on important biological questions such as the incidence and distribution of cryptic diversity, and the effects of past climatic changes on the diversification dynamics of organisms. Through its modern, multidisciplinary, and large-scale res

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Diversity patterns across lineages and evolutionary hierarchies in marine unicellular eukaryotes' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Microbes dominate the biomass of oceans, having vital roles in the functioning of ecosystems and the biogeochemical cycling. Yet, little is known about the total extent and structuring patterns of their genetic diversity, especially at the species and population levels. Pointing into this research direction, this proposal has two general aims: (a) to go deeper into assessing the extent of picoeukaryotic (2-5µm cell size) diversity in marine environments and (b) to investigate genetic patterns at the species and population levels. The chosen lineage for this study is the MArine STramenopiles -4 (MAST-4), a recently discovered group of heterotrophic picoeukaryotes that can be relative abundant (and therefore important) in marine environments. Two novel molecular techniques are considered for this proposal: (1) Pyrosequencing and (2) Single-Cell-Whole-Genome-Amplification. The use of these new techniques and several standard ones, together with the availability of a unique marine environmental DNA set of samples from a variety of geographic locations around the world, will allow a strong assessment of the extent of the MAST-4 diversity, with the potential to unveil new lineages as well as genetic structuring patterns at the species and population levels. The genetic patterns found at different evolutionary hierarchies will be correlated with environmental data in order get insight into ecological adaptation and evolutionary diversification.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Systematic analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying axon growth during development and following injury' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Axon growth potential declines during development, contributing to the lack of effective regeneration in the adult central nervous system. What determines the intrinsic growth potential of neurites, and how such growth is regulated during development, disease and following injury is a fundamental question in neuroscience. Although multiple lines of evidence indicate that intrinsic growth capability is genetically encoded, its nature remains poorly defined. Neuronal remodeling of the Drosophila mushroom body offers a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms of various types of axon degeneration and growth. We have recently demonstrated that regrowth of axons following developmental pruning is not only distinct from initial outgrowth but also shares molecular similarities with regeneration following injury. In this proposal we combine state of the art tools from genomics, functional genetics and microscopy to perform a comprehensive study of the mechanisms underlying axon growth during development and following injury. First, we will combine genetic, biochemical and genomic studies to gain a mechanistic understanding of the developmental regrowth program. Next, we will perform extensive transcriptomic analyses and comparisons aimed at defining the genetic programs involved in initial axon growth, developmental regrowth, and regeneration following injury. Finally, we will harness the genetic power of Drosophila to perform a comprehensive functional analysis of genes and pathways, those previously known and new ones that we will discover, in various neurite growth paradigms. Importantly, these functional assays will be performed in the same organism, allowing us to use identical genetic mutations across our analyses. To this end, our identification of a new genetic progra

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Minimization of Energy and Water Use in Sugar Production by Clean T ecnology Based on Cooling Crystallization of Concentrated Raw Juice' (SUCLEAN).

assistant: **Innovation**

Foreseen ResultsIt is expected that on the basis of project results, factors which are decisive for energy and water use in sugar plants based on the novel clean technology will be identified. Energy savings to be attained by integrating the optimized clean technology with the existing methods of sugar production from sugar beet can be estimated at 50% of the energy consumption characteristic of the current traditional sugar technology. A corresponding improvement in water usage is also possible.The project is devoted to the optimization, with respect to energy and water use simultaneously considered, of the novel clean technology of sugar production from sugar beet developed by UMIST, Univ. Ferrara, ICT and WUT. The participation of industrial organizations TECNIMONT and CHEPOS facilitates future transfer of research results to industrial practice.The project is divided into four parts:Development of methodology and computer-aided tools for simultaneous energy and water use minimisation in processes featuring multiple-effect evaporation under vacuum. This will be based on the pinch approach developed by UMIST.Development of background for extending the general methodology of simultaneous energy and water minimisation to sugar production by the novel clean technology based on cooling crystallization of concentrated raw juice. New simulation models and software will be elaborated, and process data necessary for studying energy and water use will be generated by simulation.Development of prototype software for simultaneous energy and water minimisation in sugar production by cooling crystallization of concentrated raw juice, and parametric study on the characteristics of energy and water use of this process.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Research, Connections, Networks and Culture' (ReConNeCt), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

ReConNeCt project has the ultimate goal to unveil the true personalities of researchers and show their multifaceted, subtle and “only humans” side. This is a true challenge knowing that the researchers are usually perceived as hardcore, hard to approach loners who love to deconstruct scientific mysteries, unselfishly work for the benefit of mankind and, in a word, improve our daily lives. Being completely in line with the main common objectives of the European Researchers’ Night, ReConNeCt project, besides these highlighted objectives, puts special emphasis on the most important – the beginnings of one’s future scientific odyssey i.e. inspiring and motivating the young generations of future scientists and life-changers. The outlined concept and the content planned will help to achieve the following specific objectives: •To break and demystify the persistent and repeated stereotypes about researchers;  •To bring out the actual researchers in Serbia, engage them publically and increase their recognition both in Serbia and globally;  •To promote research carried out in Serbia and researchers as role models;•To unveil the motives behind becoming a researcher and entice the young to embark on scientific careers;•To show the importance of scientific research and raise public awareness of the researchers' contribution to progress and development;•To raise public awareness about the impact of researchers in ever important fields like climate changes and global warming, but also in the subtle realm such as cultural heritage (in line with celebrating 2018 as the European Year of Cultural Heritage);•To highlight the importance of the EU’s manifold support to researchers and scientific research work in Serbia;•To improve networking with other national/international projects involve

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'The Silk Route Across the Alps. Craftsmen Migrations, Commercial Exchanges & Social Relations Between France & Italy in the Early Modern Period' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

My research project aims at reconstructing the dynamics of the migration of silk weavers between Italy and France during the early modern age. To do so, an interdisciplinary approach will be put in place that brings together socioeconomic history, migration, labor and gender studies, history of techniques and material culture. Combining macro-historical, micro-historical and biographical reconstruction it will be possible to participate in the renewal of studies of migratory phenomena in the Early Modern period. By using digital humanities, a database will be created. It will collect both demographic data, biographical information and visual and material evidence from Italian and French museums to answer questions such as: What is the balance between attraction/repulsion policies and integration/emargination dynamics? Who is the migrant artisan and why does he migrate? What contribution does migration bring to the country of arrival and the country of departure? The investigation of this subject will demonstrate that professional migrations played a key role in the success of the European silk industries in the old regime.Training in Italian and international historical research methods, and a close dialogue with historians and experts will be crucial for the realization of the project. The results achieved will play a crucial role both in terms of academic results and societal impact. Through the publication of articles in scientific journals, participation in conferences and the organisation of lectures and seminars, the results of the project will be widely disseminated. In addition, extensive communication activities are planned (social networking, meetings with the general public and participation in events organised by the European Union).This project will represe

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'A robotic platform for rapid optimization and scale up of photocatalytic transformations' (RoboChem).

assistant: **Innovation**

In the ERC Consolidator Grant FlowHAT, we developed RoboChem, a fully autonomous robotic platform capable of optimizing photocatalytic reactions with minimal human intervention. Despite its success, several key challenges emerged that limit its full potential, including overlooked reaction parameters in literature, the absence of a seamless workflow between high-throughput experimentation (HTE) and autonomous optimization, and inherent biases in published reaction datasets.The ERC Proof of Concept (PoC) RoboChem project aims to address these limitations by integrating RoboChem with HTE technology, creating a hybrid workflow that enhances efficiency, reproducibility, and scalability in reaction optimization. HTE will provide rapid, broad screening of reaction parameters, systematically identifying key factors affecting yield and selectivity. RoboChem will then refine these parameters, delivering precise optimization while reducing material waste and development time from months to days. This dual approach mirrors traditional chemical discovery but significantly accelerates the process, ensuring robustness in both academic and industrial settings.By integrating HTE-driven screening with AI-powered robotic optimization, this project will establish a data-driven reaction optimization framework that improves predictive modeling and enhances experimental reproducibility. Through validation in industrially relevant contexts, we seek to demonstrate RoboChem’s transformative potential and pave the way for a spin-off company dedicated to advancing automation  in synthetic chemistry.
