user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'European sports architecture during the interwar period: reflect of European political systems; The British example'.

assistant: **Objectives**

This post-doctoral project aims to compare the policies concerning the construction of sports facilities and aestheticism in sports architecture in Great Britain during the interwar period. It constitutes an important element of our scientific career plan: studying sports architecture in Europe during this period (my PhD deals with sports architecture in fascist Italy and Nazi Germany). The project studies how sport permitted, in Europe, to define a collective identity. During the interwar period this identity is particularly national and sport is used to present the efficacy of the national political systems (Italian fascism, national-socialism, liberalism, etc.), rather than universal values. Great Britain is an interesting case, because sport is essentially organised by the private sphere, be it for the educational sport of for the important sports meetings. My questioning focuses on the politicisation of sport: what is the specificity of British sport in relation to the other European countries? The approach to the problem by studying sports facilities is very appropriated because the substructure are the material basis which determines the meaning given to sport, that is practised there. As for architecture, it needs to use inter-disciplinar knowledge and methods (history, sociology, architecture, etc.)

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Innovative ultra-BROadband ubiquitous Wireless communications through terahertz transceivers' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Concept**

The demand for broadband content and services has been growing at tremendous rates, and predictions indicate that wireless data-rates of multiple tens of Gbps will be required by the year 2020, essentially for short-range connectivity. Currently available wireless technology cannot support these future demands, and so there is an urgent need to develop new technology platforms that are cost and energy efficient to enable ubiquitous ultra-broadband wireless communications seamlessly integrated with high-speed fibre-optic networks, paving the way for 100 Gbps datarates in the long term. The frequency spectrum currently in use is not expected to be suitable to accommodate the predicted future data-rate requirements, and therefore there is a need to embrace higher frequency bands, above 60 GHz and up to 1 THz. iBROW aims at developing a novel, low cost, energy-efficient and compact ultra-broadband short-range wireless communication transceiver technology, capable of addressing predicted future network usage requirements. This will be pursued through the exploitation of Resonant Tunnelling Diode (RTD) devices which represent the fastest pure solid-state electronic devices operating at room temperature with reported working frequencies exceeding 1 THz. Through the development of a unified technology that can be integrated into both ends of the wireless link, namely consumer portable devices and fibre-optic supported base-stations, the project aims at increasing the RTD output power, optical detection efficiency and energy efficiency at target frequencies, developing a methodology for low cost RTD manufacturing on a silicon platform, photonic integration and packaging, as well as identifying appropriate communication methods and architectures to enable its deployment in 10 Gbp

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'New generation vaccines based on recombinant self-replicating alphavirus rna' to be submitted under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

To achieve (i) effective protective immunity, (ii) a high population response, (iii) prolonged duration of immunity, and (iv) high level of safety, novel vaccines should combine the efficacy of live (attenuated) vaccines and the safety of subunit vaccines. A vaccine resulting in antigen presentation which mimics that during natural infection by the cognate pathogen would appear have the highest probability of success. The present proposal presents a novel strategy of vaccine design to meet the above goals. Vaccine vectors are described which are based on a self-replicating, suicidal, recombinant RNA, originating from Semliki Forest virus (SFV). In this system, genes encoding relevant antigens are cloned into vectors which upon vaccination will transiently express the antigen within the cells of the host. Preliminary studies have already shown that this strategy results in a strong induction of the humoral and cellular arms of the immune system with sustained immunologic memory. Extensive in-depth studies are described to further characterize the immune responses for optimal design of individual vaccines. These studies will, among others, include the co-expression of antigen and cytokines and/or co-stimulatory factors. The present proposal further describes development of the SFV system to allow efficient delivery of vaccines as infectious, suicidal virus particles, as naked nucleic acids (NA) or as NA-lipid complexes. A number of vaccine candidates will be employed to test the functionality and efficacy of the SFV system as a transdisease vaccine strategy. Diverse applications will cover vaccines directed against influenza virus, flavivirus, lentivirus and papilloma virus infection as well as cancer. The SFV system is by design quite safe, but studies will be conducted

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Smart molecules for super materials' (SMART) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The Advanced Materials Synthetic Research Team at Trinity College Dublin has developed a strong and growing reputation in the synthesis of electron rich materials. It has been the first to develop an intelligent and reproducible synthetic strategy for the generation of N-doped aromatic graphenes. These are SMART molecules whisch exhibit an unprecendented degree of aromacity and electron delocisation. The specific placement of N atoms within and at the periphery of these Carbon-rich materials confer tunable opto-electronic properties to the molecules and indicative of the potential for the application of these SMART systems as supermaterials in OLED and energy transport devices.The development of these molecular systems for materials and naotechnological applications, requires that the group maintains its lead in the field. It is vital that a strengthened interdisciplinary approach is taken to the synthesis, design, characterisation and testing of the molecules. The requirement is for new competency to drive the research forward and to set-up an international research group of high-standing.The new competence sought is compliments existing expertise but adds a new dimension to the areas of novel synthetic organic chemistry, excited state computational chemistry, coordination photophyiscs / electrochemistry, thin film formation and testing, and UHV surface science on large molecular systems. This critical momentum that will be achieved by a fuller treatment of our new N-doped but C-rich electronic materials will impact on the departmental, national and European effort in materials and nanotechnology.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Environmental control of biological rhythms in arctic reindeer - physiological adaptation to continuous darkness and continuous light' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content Recent studies of pineal gland activity at 700N suggests that Arctic animals might have adapted their timekeeping mechanism to the special light conditions of high latitudes. We hypothise that animals living at high latitudes do not have an endogenous clock. Instead, their activity is directly driven by environmental parameters. We propose to investigate the significance, function and control of biological rhythms in Arctic animals. With i) field studies of free-ranging Svalbard reindeer using advanced radiotelemetry systems for behavioural measurements and ii) behavioural and physiological studies of Svalbard reindeer and Norwegian mainland reindeer under controlled light conditions. we aim to provide information about the unction and flexibility of the biological clock in environmental adaptation. Training content (objective. benefit and expected impact) We expect to increase the understanding in the management of animal life in the Arctic, where precise timing is extremely important. We have the long term goal of elucidating the impact that changes in the climate are likely to have on the reproductive success in these animals. Principle objective is to exploit the unusual photoperiodic environment and the unique research model which Svalbard reindeer represent to provide new knowledge about the function and physiological adaptation of biological rhythms at high latitudes.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'INTEGRATED PLANNNING AND MANAGEMENT OF URBAN DRAINAGE, WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND RECEIVING WATER SYSTEMS' (1994-1998), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

European cities and water authorities are currently investing massive resources in the battle against contamination of receiving waters caused by pollution from urban wastewater systems. The prevailing political attitude of Europe, as expressed through existing and probable future legislation, calls for acceleration of this process, aiming at higher environmental standards. Discrepancies between this collective desire and the actual situation are caused by the limited financial resources available for this purpose.In order to achieve the target environmental standard with limited resources, a pragmatic approach to managing urban water pollution is required, one which focuses attention on the response of the receiving waters exposed to pollution loads. The recipients' present and future use, as well as their capacity to sustain aquatic life should be taken into account, rather than focusing on pollution emissions as such.Six European cities, Venice and Genoa (IT), Bordeaux (FR), Barcelona (ES), Oldham (UK) and Helsingborg(SE), participated in this project, realising that the recipient-oriented approach, together with new, integrated analysis and operational tools can bring a new quality to pollution management practice and contribute to improved performance of their wastewater systems.The project was conceived as a result of ever increasing demand for better, more economic pollution management solutions, and the results of recent research and software development. The scientific background and existing software tools require adaptation to allow full integration and efficient use. The project was expected to generate sufficient momentum for a continued and widespread diffusion of the technological achievements in the post-project phase.In addition to the EU support, the p

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Confined synthesis of metastable complex oxides' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Nowadays, a pressing demand for new materials with appealing multifunctional properties is pulling the research in materials science. In this context, as the properties of inorganic solids are intimately linked to their crystal structures, an interesting approach to extend the range of properties and applications of a particular compound is discovering and stabilising at ambient conditions new metastable polymorphs of thermodynamically stable structures. A fruitful strategy to stabilize metastable phases is the synthesis of nanoscale polymorphs under matrix confinement. Interestingly, some of those metastable polymorphs which can only be stabilized in spatially restricted fields, display outstanding multifunctional properties that could find important technological applications. Exploring, identifying and understanding the fundamental aspects of this stabilizing mechanism will be the first objective of the project.Some model metastable polymorphs with applicability in Information and Communication Technologies as memory or sensor devices that will be investigated in the project are: ε-Fe2O3, λ-Ti3O5 and a new phase of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3.The matrix confined synthesis is not always well matched for the integration of these nano-oxides into devices which requires a thorough control of the microstructure of the functional oxides and its precise positioning in a technological substrate. Addressing the above limitation is the second leading objective of the project.""

user: Explain how 'Enhancing Resilience and Flexibility of Reconfigurable Data Centre Networks' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The rapid growth of Data Centres is driven by the surge in demand for online storage and Machine Learning (ML) applications. Based on fixed electronic switches and packet-level protocols, traditional data centre networks effectively handle general-purpose, uniform traffic but struggle with bursty, skewed ML workloads. Reconfigurable Data Centre Networks (RDCNs), employing Optical Circuit Switches (OCSs) that can dynamically alter the network topology, have emerged to address this challenge. These flexible, high-speed networks can efficiently adapt to changing traffic patterns, with improved Quality of Service and energy efficiency for advanced digital services. Despite their promise, critical knowledge gaps remain in the scientific literature. ReFlexRDCN (Enhancing Resilience and Flexibility of Reconfigurable Data Centre Networks) aims to address these by targeting two major goals. First, it will engineer advanced tools for rapid identification, localisation, and failover in RDCNs, tackling challenges specific to OCSs. Second, it will design forecasting-driven failure-resilient control algorithms for ML inference requests. By leveraging real-world ML workload traces and advanced forecasting, the project will optimise the allocation and adjustment of network resources, ensuring high efficiency and resilience under dynamic, real-time inference requests. These objectives will be addressed by integrating interdisciplinary methodologies, including network optimisation, optical communications, queuing theory, parallelisation of ML workloads, and validated with simulations and real data.The project outcome is a set of rigorously tested frameworks and algorithms that fill crucial gaps in current research, directly enabling scalable, high-performance, and reliable digital servic

user: Explain how 'Horn and Crescent. Connections, Mobility and Exchange between the Horn of Africa and the Middle East in the Middle Ages' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

This project offers the first comprehensive study of medieval connections between the Horn of Africa and the Middle East in both Christian and Islamic contexts. It pursues the hypothesis that mobility and exchange along trade and pilgrimage routes, on both sides of and across the Red Sea, were not only vectors for the spread of Islam but also factors of African Christianities’ resiliency and reconfiguration at the same time. Medieval connections of Ethiopian and Nubian Christianities with other Eastern Christian churches have longer been studied than has been the spread of Islam across the Red Sea or along the Nile valley which remains poorly known. These parallel connections within Christen- and Islamdom across the same area have never been studied jointly, nor have been Christian-Muslim relations on such a scale. The project ultimately aims to reconnect the Horn of Africa to the global history of the area by connecting disjoint fields of research.It has the following objectives:• Providing a comprehensive survey of connections between the Horn of Africa and the Middle East (places, items, contexts) supported by a database and a geographic information system• Analyzing human mobility in the area within three critical configurations: pilgrimages (both Christian and Muslim), slave trade and slavery, metropolization (with the case study of Cairo)• Exploring cultural transfer and dissemination in the area within and between Christen- and Islamdom through the circulation of books, models and narratives• Evidencing regional connections and Christian-Muslim relations through archaeological survey at a very localised level: Nägaš (Ethiopia), a Muslim holy place in Christian environment related to the first exile (hijra) of Muḥammad’s companionsThis project is groundbreaking in

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Long-run Cultural Change and Economic Development:  Evidence from 100 Years of Ethnographic Data in India' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Culturea set of socially transmitted beliefs and valuesis increasingly discussed as a major driver of economic development. Cultural factors such as trust of strangers and gender norms shape, and are shaped by, the nature of economic activity. Yet economic research on the relationship between culture and development has been constrained by the lack of long-run data on cultural change. My ERC CoG develops an ambitious research agenda on the two-way relationship between economic development and culture. I will create an unprecedented quantitative panel dataset describing the long-run evolution of cultural norms across Indias 4635 endogamous social groups by digitizing thousands of ethnographic reports produced by the Anthropological Survey of India between 1880 and 1990. I will match them to modern survey data to study the relationship between group-level cultural norms and individual behavior. My research group has already assembled the inputs for this project and proven that large language models like GPT4 can be used to extract standardized data from these ethnographies. This proposal builds on a research agenda and data science toolkit that I have been developing over the past fifteen years. I will generate three major sets of outputs:1) The worlds first long-run, large-scale panel dataset on cultural change: standardized data on hundreds of norms across 4635 social groups covering 100 years. To grow the community of scholars working on culture and development, I will make the data open source and I will write a paper describing these data and the text-as-data tools I will develop.2) Evidence on how culture shapes economic opportunity: two papers will focus on the impacts of cultural capital and cultural diversity shape opportunity, cooperation, and segregation. 3) Ev
