user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Pre-operational modelling in the seas of Europe'.

assistant: **Objectives**

SUMMARY Effective management of the coastal zone on a European scale requires oceanographic knowledge to be synthesised within pre-operational numerical models operated alongside an international observational network. PROMISE aims to expedite the implementation of operational oceanography and comprises European groups with wide experience in real-time modelling and monitoring. Applications are concentrated in the North Sea and on the Atlantic Coast of Spain where existing storm operational models for tide and waves are already developed and where skeleton monitoring networks already exist. The present focus is on tidal, storm and surface wave propagation (including interactions between these and associated turbulent motions) and on the transport of suspended sediment in the near-shore zone. The project aims are:  (i) to assemble high resolution comprehensive data sets  for 4 European coastal sites with differing hydrodynamic and sedimentological characteristics  (ii) to use these data sets to test pre-operational models,  this testing to include all aspects from forecasting accuracy to real-time monitoring and data links  (iii) to improve these model systems by (a) expanding their physical realism, (b) improving quality and quantity of observational data and (c) by further development of real-time data assimilation techniques. Scientifically and technically, this project focuses on coupling of different physical processes on different space-time scales, coupling of models with observational data and coupling of the expertise/existing models of the 10 Institutes involved. These Institutes operate a range of models embracing a diversity of physical processes and numerical techniques. Workshops and Modelling Exchanges will provide opportunities to compare model outputs ag

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Stochastic recursions and limit theorems' (SCHREC) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The project concerns investigations of stochastic recursions, related limit theorems and their applications in branching processes. Recently we have proved many properties of matrix recursions, when the Lyapunov exponent is negative, including precise description of the tail of the stationary measure and resulting limit theorems. We are going to develop further the methods we have used and apply them to study new problems. The main research objectives are:- Studying of stochastic recursions when the consecutive increments are dependent and form a stationary Markov chain. Up to now only the affine recursion has been studied and under restrictive hypotheses, existence of the stationary measure and its tail have been described. We are going to prove related limit theorems and then to investigate matrix recursions and general stochastic recursions.- Description of the invariant measure in the critical case, when the Lyapunov exponent is null. We have studied the case of one dimensional recursions and then we proved regular behavior at infinity of the invariant measure. Now we will concentrate on matrix recursions.- Matrix valued branching processes and Mandelbrot equation. We would like, relying on our experience on affine recursions, to study multidimensional branching processes, where scalars are replaced by positive matrices. We will investigate existence of solutions of the Mandelbrot equation and their asymptotic properties. The problem is important in the context multitype branching processes and random walks on trees in random environments.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Tracing Hominin Occupations of and Migrations through the Levant: Reviving Paleolithic Research in Lebanon' (REVIVE) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

Our species evolutionary success story is intriguing. For over a century, we have been trying to formulate a narrative for the evolutionary and migration steps our ancestors took and made us who we are today. Several decades ago, our narrative for our lineage’s dispersals from our place of origin, Africa, across the globe, was based on two separate big waves: one with Homo erectus at ca. 1 million years ago and the second with modern humans 60-50 thousand years ago. However, recent archaeological, paleoanthropological, and genetic evidence has forced us to alter this narrative to one which favors more dynamic geographic movements of hominins over several millions of years. Yet, although we seem to have now framed the overall picture of our narrative, its details remain mostly blurred leaving many chapters unfinished and their events highly debated, particularly those related to the number and timing of the dispersal events, the specific hominin taxa involved in each, and the effects of factors like technology, climate, and interactions among hominin populations, in shaping these events.As the bridge that connects Africa to the rest of the world, the Levant is an ideal place to look for answers. At its heart is Lebanon, a small country exceptionally rich in Paleolithic archaeological material reminiscent of a dense hominin occupation spanning the entirety of this period. Yet, Lebanon’s rich Paleolithic record remains undiscovered and its potential is mostly forgotten since Paleolithic archaeological exploration in the country was forcefully stopped in its early infancy by the outbreak of the civil war (1975). REVIVE, a highly ambitious, groundbreaking project, will form the first ever large-scale and systematic archaeological/paleoanthropological project to be conducted

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'The International Law of Offshore Construction: Cutting Through Fragmented Legal Regimes Towards Better Governance' (OFFSHORELAW).

assistant: **Innovation**

Offshore constructions rise in numbers and importance. They promise high economic and scientific benefits, but they also increase risks of accidents and environmental damage. The incident of the offshore oil rig “Deepwater Horizon” in the Gulf of Mexico poignantly illustrates the limits of the existing legal framework that is fragmented along the lines of different geographical areas, different sectors of activities, and, notably, different fields of law. No international treaty specifically deals which the issue and academic research has shown little attention in spite of the multiplication of offshore constructions.The proposed research project intends to fill this gap and wishes to contribute to better ocean governance. More specifically, it aims at clarifying the international legal framework that regulates the life of offshore constructions in order to provide useful legal tools to both private investors and policy makers.The research will start with an analysis of multilateral treaties that do already contain obligations in the fields of environmental protection as well as maritime safety and security. Against this background, it then studies the practice of states both at the regional and bilateral level, placing particular emphasis on the role of the EU and the practice of EU member states.With the Marie Curie Programme, the candidate could carry out her research project at the Netherlands Institute for the Law of the Sea (NILOS) at Utrecht University, one of the very best institutions in her field. The research project would train the candidate and consolidate the development of her academic career in a profound and lasting fashion. Her level of skills and expertise could now be expanded further at NILOS. The candidate would advance towards a senior academic po

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Cognitive and neural representations of action in temporally coordinated behaviour' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Concept**

Many common behaviours such as moving a table, rowing a boat, and producing music require individual performers to coordinate their actions. Researchers have only begun to investigate the mechanisms of perception, action, and cognition that support these types of joint action (Galantucci and Sebanz, 2009). It has recently been suggested that the activation of mental representations of others’ actions may underlie successful joint action (Sebanz and Knoblich, 2009). However, it has also been argued that temporal coordination may be explained by dynamical principles that govern coordination between oscillating systems, without relying on higher-level cognitive representations (Marsh, Richardson, and Schmidt, 2009). The proposed research employs experimental analogs of ensemble music performance, in which two or more people produce separate musical sequences whose pitches are temporally coordinated, to determine a) whether representations of a co-performer’s actions are activated in temporally coordinated joint action and b) which components of the actions are represented by co-performers. The first question is addressed by comparing both behaviour and functional brain activity when people perform sequences alone and with another person. The second question is addressed by measuring neural activity in response to incongruence between the movements and pitches produced by co-performers and in response to violations of expectation about a co-performer’s pitch and timing. The proposed research will unite the applicant’s expertise in studying coordinated action using musical tasks with the European host's expertise in representation-based accounts of joint action. In doing so, the research will bridge the gap between two theoretical approaches to action coordination, and will

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Ageing, health and retirement in europe (AGIR)', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Recent biometric research, based mainly on US data suggests that people not only live longer, but also in better health. This project will first document to what extent this trend exists in Europe as well. A comparison of data from existing national socio-economic panels will establish what happened over the last 10-15 years. A search of archives of health insurance companies and national health services should yield data spanning 40-50 years, thus allowing us to make more solid longer term projections for the health of the elderly. These projections will be used to asses the sustainability of social security system based on a detailed analysis of the influence of better health on the demand for health care and retirement decisions. Future elderly may demand less health care than anticipated because they are healthier, and they might also be able and willing to work longer, thus reducing the burden on pension systems.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Multicore fiber Applications and TeCHnologies', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Multicore fiber Applications and TeCHnologies (MATCH) is a doctoral training network proposed by a multidisciplinary and intersectoral consortium of international experts. This network directs PhD research toward multicore fibre (MCF) technology, which is recognized as the leading solution for scaling future optical fibre communication networks towards emerging information capacities, while offering the potential to lower costs, reduce power consumption and significantly boost network capacity by over tenfold while remaining as compatible as possible with current infrastructure. The MATCH programme outlines a comprehensive set of research and training objectives tailored to 13 doctoral candidates (DCs). The cohort of DCs will be hosted by 16 partners (11 from academia and 5 from the industrial sector) with exposure to cutting-edge optical fibre technology/photonic device realization/communication system engineering, and with training by leading fellows in MCF expertise worldwide. The planned training activities of DCs include 32 secondments, 7 mini-symposiums, 3 transferable skills workshops, summer schools, and tutorials, among others. In MATCH program, DCs will acquire expertise in diverse areas, encompassing (i) design and fabrication of MCFs with transmission capacities surpassing the state-of-the-art; (ii) design and implementation of MCF components and subsystems, with a focus on optical amplifiers and switches, multiple frequency comb sources, and parallel-scalable signal processing architectures; (iii) development and implementation of machine learning techniques for end-to-end performance optimization of MCF networks; and (iv) design and evaluation of coexistence of telecom and non-telecom signals in MCF networks.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'DIFFUSE REFLECTANCE SPECTROSCOPY FOR THE EVALUATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES INTERNAL QUALITY' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The aim of the proposed project is to develop an innovative non-invasive technique capable to provide reliable information on the internal quality of fruit and vegetables.The technique will be based on a novel optical methodology, recently developed for the study of living tissue, which is named diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). DRS allows a completely non-invasive assessment of the bulk optical properties of diffusive media such as fruit and vegetables. This is achieved through the simultaneous evaluation of two parameters : the scattering and absorption coefficients. The interest is therefore to study the internal quality of fruit and vegetables by meas of these optical parameters, which are judged to be able to assess structural and compositional quality independently.The targets of the project will be therefore :- establishing the links between optical properties (absorption and scattering  coefficients) and internal quality of fruit and vegetables (stage ripening, sugar  content, acidity, firmness, etc);- development and testing of prototype optical systems, based on DRS, able to predict, in a non-invasive way, the quality of fruit and/or vegetables.The project will be divided into two main phases : a research phase, where the potential of the DRS technique for internal quality evaluation will be fully evaluated, and a development phase, where, in accordance to the results obtained in the research phase, a simple prototype instrument will be designed, constructed, commissioned and its performance tested in situ at an end user site.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Molecular mechanisms of petal iridescence: how do structural colours arise in flowers?' (NanoPetals).

assistant: **Concept**

Iridescent animals, such as peacocks and butterflies, owe their stunning colours to the manipulation of light by minute structures organized on or just below their surfaces. Iridescence is common in animals where it acts as mimicry or as a signal for mate selection, but it has been poorly studied in plants. The Glover lab recently discovered that flowers also produce structural colours, visible to pollinators, due to ordered striations (like those on a CD) of the cuticle on the petal epidermis. How and when these features develop is unknown. To unveil the genetic mechanisms behind iridescence, I will carry out high-throughput molecular studies along with microscopic observations and biochemical analysis using Venice Mallow (Hibiscus trionum) as a model species to establish the identities and the functions of genes governing the assembly of epidermal ridges. To conduct this work, I will also benefit from ongoing collaboration with physicists to establish the optical properties of these nanostructures, from behavioural ecology tools present in the lab to test pollinators’ reactions to iridescent petals and from the new methodologies I developed during my PhD. This project will discover original developmental pathways, used by flowering plants to shape their surfaces and communicate with insects.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon Europe proposal for the project 'WOMACT: Women’s Movements as Agents of Crisis Transformation - Feminist Knowledge in Times of War and Democratic Backsliding'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Women’s movements are often at the forefront of democratic and peace struggles, yet their knowledge practices in times of crisis remain underexplored. WOMACT – Women’s Movements as Agents of Crisis Transformation investigates how women’s movements in Israel/Palestine and Ukraine respond to overlapping ruptures of war, authoritarianism, and societal polarization. The project develops the concept of crisis epistemologies: situated, embodied, and strategic knowledges produced by feminist actors under duress, when existing frameworks collapse and new epistemic tools must be forged.Through a comparative feminist ethnography, WOMACT combines semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and digital content analysis with systematic cross-case coding. This design captures how movements recalibrate in political rupture, negotiate intersectional coalitions, develop embodied and digital repertoires of resistance, and sustain or re-imagine transnational solidarities. The project situates feminist activism as a laboratory of meaning-making, challenging dominant crisis and security narratives, and offering alternative visions of democracy, peace, and justice.Hosted by the University of Graz, with mentorship from Dr. Maximilian Lakitsch and an international advisory network, WOMACT provides advanced training in qualitative methods, digital security, and public engagement. It will deliver four high-impact publications, a policy brief series, and a co-designed activist toolkit, ensuring benefits for scholarship, civil society, and EU policy agendas. By foregrounding women’s movements as epistemic agents, WOMACT strengthens feminist peace and conflict studies and contributes to inclusive strategies for democratic resilience in Europe and beyond.

user: Describe how 'Self-amplifying RNA technology applied to the development of a universal influenza vaccine' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Influenza (Flu) virus infections lead to thousands of deaths annually worldwide and billions of dollars of economic burden. Vaccination is the primary strategy for Flu prevention; however, effective protection requires a perfect match with the seasonal circulating strains. Seasonal vaccines target the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) proteins of the two predominant A and one B circulating strains, and induce high neutralizing antibody titers. Emerging Flu viruses escape host immunity by modifying HA glycosylation and masking the immunodominant epitopes of previous years’ strains. In consequence, yearly seasonal Flu vaccines have to be developed. Therefore, there is a need for a universal Flu vaccine that would protect against most variants.Patterns of HA glycosylation show that there are only 5 – 6 alterations in a century of evolution, reflecting the limited possibilities for the virus to escape host immunity while retaining its infectivity. Therefore, by developing a vaccine that includes most relevant past seasonal (H1, H3, and B) and pandemic (H5, H7) strains, it might be feasible to develop a universal Flu vaccine.The project will combine HA selection with the novel self-amplifying mRNA (SAM®) vaccine technology, which consists of a synthetic RNA delivered by lipid nanoparticles, and already proved immunogenic in mice with Flu H1 and H7. We will design five SAM(HA) vectors encoding combinations of four HA, prioritized to cover up to 20 relevant strains, and characterize their immunogenicity in mice by measuring  hemagglutination-inhibition and virus neutralization titers. In-depth characterization of germinal center B cells and follicular helper T cells will be performed by mass cytometry (CyTOF). Finally, HA-specific CD4 and CD8 T-cell cytokine and cytoto
