user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Navigating Schengen. Historical Challenges and Potentialities of the EU Free Movement of Persons, 1985-2015' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

NAVSCHEN will produce the first dedicated historical analysis of all worldwide available primary sources on the transnational roots, debates and conditions for the implementation of the European Union (EU)’s free movement of persons (henceforth, FMP). The project’s overall objective (OO) is to highlight: a) the value of critical historical analysis and b) the normative legacies on human mobility rights in the European integration process to address the current challenges of the EU’s FMP. This project aims to bridge this gap via the comparative analysis between the European Parliament (EP) and the European Commission (EC)’s role and impact on the changing modes of implementation of this Schengen Area ‘fourth freedom’. These two cases will be explored as part of a larger study on belonging and displacement in a ‘Europe in the making’. The project’s timeline will examine human mobility rights in light of the historical analysis of the European integration process from 1985 (the inception of the Schengen Area) to 2015 (a key turning point dominated by the public and private perception management articulation of responses to the so-called ‘refugee crisis’). Core questions: What are the evolving modes of exclusion in transnational mobility in Europe and beyond? How can historical critiques be relevant to today’s challenges to free movement of persons? What are the neglected solidarity and diversity dimensions of European integration? In this light, can we articulate responses to humanitarian dilemmas beyond security-centered conceptions of transnational mobility? And normatively, are narratives on ‘shared values’ in the EU and beyond, sufficient to mediate countervailing factors of exclusion?The main consulted archives will comprise the Historical Archives of the EU (HAEU), t

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Supporting European Union and Southeast Asia ICT strategic partnership and policy dialogue: Connecting ICT EU-SEA Research, Development and Innovation Knowledge Networks' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

European and Southeast Asian ICT R&D collaboration has  a successful and long history, but opportunities exist to create more synergies, leverage and value added. In order to secure higher and sustainable impacts, we propose to implement  an intensified  targeted support at the appropriate scale, involving EU and SEA Research, Development and Innovation  knowledge networks, clusters and their organisations: a structured bottom up - top down approach helping to create synergies between research and innovation  programmes in the EU and the SEA region and create sustainable strategic partnerships. The action will pave  the way for jointly addressing important  societal challenges and core technologies, at the research, innovation  and policy levels under  HORIZON2020 and relevant SEA regional  and national  programmes.Within this context,  and building on the results and lessons learnt from the previous collaborative actions, the project has  a three-fold  objective:  (1) To support internationalisation of European and SEA ICT-related research, development and innovation  knowledge networks, technology platforms, clusters, organisations in the topics of common interest, in order to foster ICT RDI collaboration; (2) To promote Horizon 2020 and to reinforce  synergies between the EU and ASEAN research development and innovation  programmes; (3) To enrich and support EU-SEA ICT R&D policy dialogue, by supporting policy initiatives, summarising feedback from collaborative experience and proposing recommendations to reinforce EU-SEA ICT RDI collaboration.Specialists from EU and SEA knowledge networks - ETPs,  Networks  of Excellence, clusters, projects, organisations - will be invited to participate in the internationalisation process with their counterparts working on similar

user: Explain how 'Graduate and Executive Nuclear Training and Lifelong Education' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

The GENTLE project is a pan-European effort in the field of education and training (E&T) on Nuclear Energy. It brings together leading European academic and research institutions with the goal to set up a life-long learning programme, strongly supported by stakeholders from industry. GENTLE focuses on two E&T domains: (a) the education of students by means of student research experiences in the nuclear laboratories, and intersemester courses on special topics that are generally not part of the academic curriculum, (b) a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on nuclear energy hosted on one of the leading e-learning platforms. These tools will strongly impact on the education and training quality in Europe as they broaden the scope of interest to industry and safety organisations, and give the student better opportunities to obtain hands-on experience in high level nuclear research. This will help the European industry to consolidate its leading position in the international market. In addition, to the inter-consortium collaboration, GENTLE will actively coordinate E&T efforts in the domain and will initiate a dialogue with the associated stakeholders from industry on nuclear E&T in Europe, to steer its own E&T programme but also to advice the European Commission and EU member states. GENTLE is thus a holistic approach to training and education on nuclear energy and is complementary to the ongoing efforts in Europe.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'VIOBOND – sustainable binder: Upscaling new lignin-phenol-formaldehyde resin production with wood-based biorefinery lignin' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The VIOBOND project will build a first-of-its-kind flagship plant producing industrial-scale lignin phenol-formaldehyde (LPF) resins. The VIOBOND consortium combines extensive interdisciplinary experience in a full value-chain from fractionating wood-based biorefinery lignin to manufacturing several types of LPF resin for different purposes. The main commercial end-use is conventional plywood panels where lignin substitutes fossil-origin and hazardous phenol and formaldehyde in resin. Also, special LPF resins to be used in consumer products such as plywood coating, white furniture plywood, sandpaper adhesive and insulation glass wool binder are validated and produced in the flagship plant. The main impact of the VIOBOND project is that it creates the first commercially viable resin plant where lignin partially substitutes fossil-based phenol and formaldehyde. The VIOBOND flagship project demonstrates a business model for valorisation and transformation of lignin in Europe while also demonstrating scale-up and exploitation of the lignin-agnostic lignin-resin technologies for Southern Europe and globally for areas where there are not any wood-based pulp plants or biorefineries, thereby creating demand and supply ecosystem for bio-based lignin and resin.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Fixed bed gasification of agricultural residues'.

assistant: **Concept**

Objectives The development of advanced gasification technologies is especially important for Mediterranean countries, where no network of gasifiers exists to exploit the energy potentially available through the large quantities of agricultural residues produced. On the other hand, the infrastructure of the countries does not allow the installation of large plants because of the difficulties of feedstock collection and transportation. Thus, this project is concerned with atmospheric pressure gasification of straw and other agricultural residues, typical of Mediterranean areas, for decentralized heat and power production. The different aspects of the problem will be taken into account through the different stages of the process: - availability, pre-treatment, transportation and storage of feedstocks - evaluation of their physico-chemical properties and thermo-chemical behavior, - conversion, operation of a commercial plant and combustion tests on the producer gas. Technical approach The development of the work program is based on both experimental and theoretical investigations. Intra-particle gasification characteristics (chemical kinetics) of different feedstocks will be evaluated through a fast radiant heating system, with controlled sample temperature (Univ. Napoli) and a free-fall reactor (KTH, Stockholm). Extra-particle (rate) gasification characteristics will be investigated by means of updraft (Ansaldo Volund R&D, Univ. Napoli), downdraft (Univ. Zaragoza) and fluid-bed (KTH, Stockholm) reactors on both a laboratory and a pilot plant scale. Effects of feedstock pretreatments (NTUA, Athens) on the gas quality will be studied and the feasibility will be assessed of using the producer gas for an internal combustion engine, as a way of generating electricity.

user: Explain how 'Fire safety in space exploration' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The ""FireSpace"" research proposal aims to address the critical challenge of fire safety in space exploration, particularly in environments with increased oxygen concentrations, reduced pressure, and reduced gravity. The main objective is to generate fundamental knowledge on the fire behavior of materials used in spacecraft and habitats under these extreme conditions and to develop strategies for mitigating fire risks. This will be achieved through a combination of experimental investigations, the development of fire-retardant (FR) materials, and advanced numerical simulations. The key objectives of the project are to:1.Passive fire mitigation: Understand the fire behavior of FR materials in reduced gravity and oxygen-rich environments. Develop new FR materials and advanced diagnostics for testing these materials in microgravity. 2.Active fire mitigation: Formulate strategies for controlling flame spread through environmental perturbations such as acoustic or electromagnetic waves.3.Numerical simulations: Perform detailed simulations of fire spread from material to compartment scales, predicting the effectiveness of fire safety strategies in spacecraft and space habitats.4.Risk management: Consider the interplay between fire safety and other critical habitation systems, ensuring a balanced approach to risk management in space missions.The research will be structured into seven work packages (WPs) involving the design of FR materials, development of experimental rigs for microgravity platforms, and integration of fire safety into spacecraft design. This holistic approach will generate groundbreaking knowledge to enhance the fire safety of future space missions.""

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'INTEGRATED DIGITAL SOLUTION FOR SUSTAINABLE AND RELIABLE MANAGEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS.' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The increase in energy demand in industry, buildings, services, and transportation together with the associated greenhouse gas emissions bring great challenges to the energy sector. To face them, this sector must aggressively look for more efficient ways of operations so as to support this growing consumption, avoid supply problems and, at the same time, reduce operating costs. The answer to these challenges lies in digitalization, which is one of the essential pillars for the transformation of this sector in Europe and worldwide. INTEREST goes beyond the state of the art, with the objective of developing a hierarchical distributed Model PredictiveControl for real-time monitoring and energy management of renewable energy systems with improved features such as sustainability, stability, reliability, and replicability. This objective will be addressed using innovative tools that will bring intelligence to the system, allowing a more preventive than reactive performance, which is fundamental to overcoming the challenges already presented. Such innovations are essential to increase the system's efficiency by improving the control of the energy flows. INTEREST will bring to practice the concepts of predictive maintenance and joint energy and health management by using data intelligence for a better understanding of demand, predicting, and anticipating undesirable faults in a self-healing operation. The ending status of INTEREST concept can be expressed by TRL5 aiming to boost the European outstanding position in global applied science. This way INTEREST solution presents a great potential of being a leading exporting technology focusing on the emergent markets worldwide and ensuring the political priorities of sustainable.Strongly aligned with the EU policy framework for cli

user: Describe how 'The distributed Blockchain middleware that allows business worldwide to build business solutions with Blockchain technology' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

The blockchain technology is a very recent and is considered as the 4th Industrial Revolution. According to a global market survey by Juniper Research (2017), 60% of the large corporations are considering blockchain deployment during the next 2 to 10 years.  In addition, reports by the World Economic Forum (2017) reveal that more than 30 governments and 90 central banks are currently investing in blockchain, and more than 80% of banks are planning to initiate blockchain projects in the very near future.The challenge, however, lies in a complexity of blockchain technology itself, as most organizations don’t have enough IT personnel & knowledge to deal with this digital transformation. The specialized blockchain developers are very scarce - only approximatively ten thousands worldwide – and the training trajectory takes approximatively 18 months.  This lead-time potentially means high investment costs and impacts on the competitive advantages.At SettleMint, we bridge the gap between enterprise and blockchain technology by providing a middleware solution – MINT - that makes it easy for companies to plug-in on the blockchain technology  in a few weeks’ time.SettleMint has been established in 2016 in Leuven, Belgium by Roderik van der Veer and Matthew Van Niekerk who combined their expertise and passion for business and technology. We have tested MINT across different sectors from banking, telecom, insurance to energy. We are now in a truly scale-up phase and we internationalize in fast pace. Our MINT technology has been recognized by numerous awards, prized and media coverage. Within this SME Instrument proposal we want to achieve a set of objectives to increase visibility of the company in the international markets, scale in sales and significantly increase headcount up to

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Transformation of kraft lignin into a biodegradable biopolymer' (Ligninpolymers).

assistant: **Concept**

RenFuel, a Swedish SME which has developed a drop-in biofuel, Lignol, from kraft lignin, has now developed a process for transforming lignin into a biopolymer, Renol. Renol, a biodegradable biopolymer with strong material properties, represents an alternative to many plastics, such as polystyrene (PS), which are associated with serious environmental and health issues.Growing concerns regarding the problem of plastic in our oceans is leading to legislation banning certain plastics and driving demand from brand owners for replacement products. Starch based bioplastics, already available in the market, are limited in terms of applications as they are not water resistant. Renol, in contrast, can be used in a wide range of applications and in fact offers superior material qualities to some fossil-based polymers (e.g. mechanical strength, UV stability and fire-resistance). It is suitable for use in products which must be durable while in use, but, unlike most plastic, it will degrade (in a compostable environment) when no longer needed.Kraft lignin is a waste product of kraft pulping (widely used for the manufacture of pulp and paper). RenFuel's solution offers to add value to lignin waste - thus representing a circular solution to the plastics pollution problem.  Lignin raw material is widely available in the pulp industry, in sufficient volumes to hypothetically replace a significant percentage of the fossil fuels used in the global plastics market.RenFuel's business model involves the sale of Renol in pellet form to compounders, for mixing with existing (fossil-based) polymers to manufacture an end plastic product with a percentage of biodegrability - and potentially also add other valuable properties.In the Phase I project, RenFuel will identify high value niche markets f

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'LincRNA and encoded small peptides:  Functional discovery in development and evolution'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Beyond the paradigm of the central dogma of biology lie a number of recently discovered elements that are nonetheless central to cellular function. Eukaryotic genomes express an unexpectedly wide variety of functional long transcripts that do not encode major proteins, called long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), whose functions are still poorly understood.  More recent work has uncovered the prevalence of small open reading frames (smORFs) encoded within both mRNA and lncRNAs, only a few of which have evidence of active translation and function.  The work in this proposal focuses on these relatively uncharacterized layers of biological regulation, and aims to harness the power of insect developmental genetics and the exquisite knowledge of axial patterning in embryos to probe the function of small peptides/lncRNA. Developmental gene networks in insects with varied modes of development have been studied in detail, allowing insights into how such networks have evolved. I will use a combination of state-of-the-art comparative genomics and transcriptome analysis, molecular genetics, biochemistry, and ribosome profiling to identify transcripts encoding putative small peptides with conserved features across insects, which represent novel components of developmental networks.  This will be accompanied by genetic studies illuminating their functional interactions within developmental networks, including embryonic expression and loss of function phenotypes. Our approach to studying small peptides includes creation of innovative functional assays needed in the field, and is relevant to understanding the function of small peptides in all animals.
