user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Gauge theory - String  theory duality: maximally symmetric case and beyond' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Quantum field theories with local gauge symmetry  are building blocks of the modern theory of fundamental interactions between  elementary particles. The basic example  is Quantum Chromo Dynamics. There is strong evidence  that QCD is the correct theory of strong interactions, but it has been difficult to  use it to account  for many hadronic phenomena  which is due to large  value of gauge  coupling  at low  energies. Theoretical  understanding of  gauge theory dynamics at large values of coupling  when one cannot use the Feynman diagram perturbation theory is a major problem of physics of strong interactions. Goals include analytic computation of   mass spectrum of  hadrons, etc. The general aim of this proposal is to develop  new theoretical tools to describe strongly coupled  gauge theories. Research in the last decade brought strong evidence that connection of gauge theories  to string theory should be a key to solution of this  problem. Gauge-string duality and,  in particular,  Anti deSitter / conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence is  one of the most active directions  of current work in theory of fundamental interactions. A remarkable progress  was achieved towards quantitative   understanding of this relation  in the most  symmetric case of   maximally  supersymmetric gauge theory in flat 4 dimensions  dual to  superstring theory in curved 10-dimensional AdS5 x S5 space. We propose a detailed study of this duality from the string theory side using world-sheet methods and hidden integrability of the maximally symmetric theory. The goal is to provide  a first-principles  proof of the duality for the spectrum of states and  also to establish its validity at the level of correlation functions of conformal operators. We also plan to extend  string-theoreti

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Democratizing digital farming through smart solutions for small farms' (Farmtopia) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

The last decade has seen an explosion of interest and investment in the use of Agricultural Digital Technologies (ADSs). The use of ADSs is seen by many as an opportunity to increase the economic and environmental performance of the agricultural sector. In spite of considerable public and private investment, uptake and use of ADSs by EU farmers has been limited, especially among small and medium farms. These farms require cost-effective DATs that help them increase their environmental and economic performance and cross the digital divide.The overall objective of the Farmtopia project is to democratize digital farming by creating a paradigm shift in the way ADSs for small farms are created, deployed and paid for. This will be achieved by a) fostering co-creation of ADSs to ensure they will solve real problems and fit the needs of small farms; and b) lowering the cost for both farmers and ADSs providers, by creating a set of reusable software modules, a number of business and governance models, and identifying public provision of infrastructure that can enable scale-out of ADSs.Using a multi-actor approach, Farmtopia will engage farmers, ADSs providers, farm advisors, scientists, policy makers, AKIS actors and other relevant stakeholders in 18 Sustainable Innovation Pilots (SIPs) in at least 15 countries across Europe, and guide them in co-creating, deploying and piloting innovative ADSs while designing, adapting and validating appropriate business and governance models to support them (such as the French CUMA model, which is embraced by >225.000 farmers). The focus will be mainly on specific crops and livestock for which current ADS provision is inadequate as well as on crops that are of regional importance, strengthening resilience, sustainability and food security acro

user: Explain how 'Art, Natural Science, Local History, and the New World in Counter-Reformation Antwerp: The Collection of the Portuguese Merchant-Banker Manuel Ximenes (1564-1632)' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

In early modern Europe, the collections of elite individuals were important sites to produce, exchange, and display knowledge. The reference point for my study is one of the most splendid collections of early 17th-c. Antwerp, that of the Portuguese merchant-banker Manuel Ximenes (1564-1632), praised by his contemporaries for his ‘universal knowledge of the sciences’. This is the first study of a collection of a converso merchant-banker whose family was intimately involved in Antwerp’s global trade. I argue that the various sites of display in Ximenes’ palace define a courtly cosmos of science, medicine, religion, and art as well as reflect a culture of patronage, friendship, and kinship, which lay at the very center of early modern science and global trade. This is a by definition transdisciplinary project, one that takes seriously the multiple spheres of knowledge within which artful objects and art works were viewed – spheres that themselves were shaped by the emergence of the visual. It will shed new light on the interrelationships between art, science, and religion in times of religious and political change, advance our knowledge of patronage activities of wealthy foreigners, and broaden our understanding of the early modern material culture of science and art.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'ADVANced engineering of C1 metabolism towards METHanol-based sustainable biotechnology'.

assistant: **Concept**

Urgent global problems, including climate change and fossil-fuel dependence, force the EU to develop sustainable bio-basedchemical production platforms. However, current biotechnological feedstocks, such as plant-based sugars, suffer from serious limitations in terms of availability and sustainability. A very promising alternativeis the one-carbon (C1) feedstock methanol, which canbe produced in a  sustainable manner from waste, or CO2  and renewable hydrogen. So far, the conversion of methanol to products is limited by the lack of  suitable, efficientmicrobial cell factories. Hence, this project will engineer a highly efficient, synthetic methanol assimilation pathway into the well-known industrial host bacterium Escherichia coli. First, modular optimization will be performed for the bottleneck steps of enzymatic methanol conversion in the cell. Then, the overall strain performance will be optimized by rational, systems-wide targeting of the metabolic network and fast growing strains on methanol will be selected and studied. To achieve the objectives an innovative high-throughput genome editing approach will be employed. ADVANC1-METH is expected to yield a bacterial platform strain for efficient conversion of methanol to products, and industrially relevant IP and scientific knowledge will be effectively disseminated. The ADVANC1-METH project will aid the applicant to further extend his knowledge in the interdisciplinary fields of synthetic biology, bioinformatics, genetic and metabolic engineering, and complement his academic skills to fulfil the ambition to become an independent researcher. The implementation and training will be hosted at an institute with key expertise in bacterial and metabolic engineering. Within the ADVANC1-METH project videos and a board game wi

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'LAser DEvelopment of Nanotools for quantum-based THERapy'.

assistant: **Concept**

The cardiovascular diseases are among most serious health problems of modern human society. Despite various advanced therapeutic, pharmaceutic and surgical methods of their treatment, significant improvement of human health has not been reached yet due to insufficient efficiency of these methods, side effects, soreness and long recovery. Hence, searching for novel approaches for both diagnostics and treatment of the diseases is of highest importance.This proposal will explore a new approach based on combining latest achievements in laser- and nano-technologies. Contamination-free multi-component nanoparticles with novel properties (efficient light absorption at specific wavelength ranges, enhanced photoluminescence for detection, minimal cytotoxicity and biocompatibility, etc.) will be synthesized by ultrafast laser irradiation of materials in aqueous environment. They will be tested as nanotools for treating actions on biological objects (model systems provided by biologists) for dissolving thrombus and cholesterol and for fatigued muscles recovery. The nanoparticles will be injected to the model systems (simulating problematic blood vessels and overexpressed muscles) and activated by ultrafast lasers tunable in mid-IR spectral range to make laser action gentle but effective with a deep penetration to bio-tissues. Irradiation will be performed in single- and multicolor modes to inspect capabilities for nanoparticle activation. The results of nano-phototherapy will be analyzed with assessment of its efficiency. The detailed protocols of nano-phototherapy will be prepared to continue these studies with biologists in-vivo after the project implementation. Outcomes of this proposal will bring new knowledge on the prospects of non-invasive therapy of cardiovascular problems

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'When bad things come together: multivariate shocks, interacting risks and their applications in economics' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The project I am presenting is meant to fulfill the ideals behind a Marie Curie CIG. In fact, while it has its solid roots in the studies I have conducted so far, in my PhD thesis and during my postdoctoral research period at Bern University (CH), it also possesses all the ingredients to integrate and complement the research interests and projects of my new research “home”, TU Delft (NL).From a scientific point of view, the project represents a clear evolution of my research interests: moving from univariate shock models to the multivariate case means entering into a new exciting field of research, where just a few pioneering works are present.Imagine a system subject to random shocks of random magnitude that can make it fail. Such a situation can be visualized as a skyscraper receiving one or more earthquake shakes: the building may collapse because of one single large stroke, or because of the cumulative effect of several weaker shakes, each one partially damaging its foundations until implosion. Other examples may be a firm suffering liquidity problems, or simply a bar of metal stressed with different random loadings. Shock models are meant to study these phenomena.Most of the constructions available in the literature are univariate. This means that we often consider a single-component system subject to random shocks. Most of the times, also shocks are simply assumed to be of one single type (cumulative or extreme), even if some important exceptions are to be considered, as in the case of competing risk models.The importance of the multivariate extension is linked to the several meaningful applications that multivariate shock models may have in risk analysis, when dealing with sets of defaults and interacting risks.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'How nature of regulation and levels of trust affect each other over time: the case of financial regulation in the EU' (REGTRUST).

assistant: **Innovation**

Regulation and trust are at the heart of our society. In setting regulations to govern the behavior of citizens, firms and states, policymakers make regulatory design choices that are partly grounded in trust/distrust between them and key actors in the field at hand. Yet we know surprisingly little about the iterative processes whereby the nature of regulation and trust affect each other over time.A truly interdisciplinary project bringing theoretical, methodological and empirical innovations, REGTRUST studies the bidirectional relation between the nature of regulation and levels of trust through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Focusing on the case of EU financial regulation during 2011-20, REGTRUST 1) maps the nature of EU financial regulation along two key dimensions (specificity-broadness; stability-revisability), 2) assesses statistically significant relations between such a nature and current and past levels of trust/distrust among key EU and national actors (policymakers, regulators, regulatees, consumers), and 3) traces causal mechanisms underpinning these statistically significant relations.Expertise and facilities offered by the host (UA; Prof. Verhoest) and the secondment (FBF; Prof. Carletti), together with my existing experience and talent, mutually reinforce my development as independent researcher during the fellowship. In addition, advanced training (e.g. statistics, grant writing, science communication), two-way knowledge transfer and international and intersectoral mobility allow me realizing my long-term career goals after the fellowship. A customized dissemination and communication plan ensures that the project and its results are known well beyond the academic community, while also seeking active engagement with a wider audienc
