user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Tracing Visual Computations from the Retina to Behavior' (2021-2027).

assistant: **Concept**

Every second, millions of bits of information enter our eyes. How does the brain identify task-relevant information from this gigantic input stream? This key challenge of the visual system is tackled by substantially processing the sensory input for behavioral relevance. Already in the retina, the front-end of the visual system, neuronal circuits extract multiple features from the environment and form up to 40 channels to the brain. So far, however, one of the basic principles underlying vision, namely how the brain processes these multiple channels from the eye, remains fundamentally unclear.In this proposal, I will focus on the superior colliculus, an evolutionary conserved retino-recipient brain area critically involved in visuomotor transformations, and solve the following problem: How do neuronal circuits in mouse superior colliculus integrate retinal signals to drive behavior? I will implement an interdisciplinary approach that combines population imaging of neuronal activity in behaving mice with optogenetic manipulations, deep neural network modeling, and quantitative behavioral analysis. By modeling a defined brain area all the way from the retinal input to its role in behavior in an ecological setting, I will mechanistically dissect the behavioral relevance of retinal circuits.My work will uncover general principles of how diverse retinal channels are represented in downstream targets, identify elemental convergence rules of feedforward retinal signals in postsynaptic neurons, and causally link retinal function to distinct behaviors. If successful, my proposal will reveal fundamental neuronal and computational mechanisms used by the visual system to convert a complex visual input into action. My approach can be adapted to other sensory modalities, guiding the

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Processing and Resourcefulness Of Non-Gaussian Quantum Correlations' (PRONOUNCE).

assistant: **Innovation**

Project PRONOUNCE aims at solving the open question about the need of non-Gaussian quantum correlations (nGQCs) for quantum advantage in photonic quantum computing. Through a diversity of techniques, ranging from stellar rank theory to symplectic geometry and distribution theory, the fellow will first characterize nGQCs that are essential for specific tasks and study them in the specific framework of photon-subtracted multimode Gaussian states (PSMG states). The project is articulated in 3 objectives, OI-III, whose purpose is to characterize and understand the problem from all possible aspects: in OI, the fellow will directly address the issue of resourcefulness of nGQCs, with the main goal of finding instances of tasks that require these correlations for a quantum advantage. In OII he will delve deeper into the theoretical link between non-Gaussianity and quantum correlations, particularly to assess if nGQCs are helpful to remotely generate Wigner negativity and if there is a relationship with quantum steering, as there is for Gaussian states. Finally, in OIII, he will explore the applications of these notions to quantum networks. PRONOUNCE will be carried out at Sorbonne Université, specifically in the Multimode Quantum Optics group of Laboratoire Kastler Brossel and the supervision of Dr. Mattia Walschaers; this is a leading equip in the field of multimode quantum optics, with a remarkable number of theoretical and experimental results scored during the last 30 years, ranging from pioneering studies on squeezed light to more recent investigations and generation of entangled quantum networks with more than 20 light modes. The peculiar mathematical background of the fellow, combined with the expertise of the team on quantum non-Gaussianity, will provide an ideal fit to

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'EKOGRID™, the first technology to clean water and underwater sediments with electrokinetic oxidation'.

assistant: **Concept**

The presence of pollutants in fresh, ground and seawater threatens wildlife and ecosystems and raises concerns for public health. Water pollution indeed not only puts biodiversity at risk and disrupts the fragile equilibrium that exists underwater, but also affects economic activities, such as fisheries, aquaculture and tourism. Moreover, current water and seabed remediation methods cause great disturbances to the site operations and environment or use additional chemical products thus posing potential risks for the environment and increasing costs.EKOGRID™, is a patented method based on natural phenomena and reactions for water and sediment remediation. It utilizes the capacitive nature of the matrix to boost the remediation power of nature, strengthening nature’s remediation process and treating in one year sites that would have been contaminated for decades.  It is a sustainable, safer and more cost-effective solution to speed up water and sediment remediation at any condition. Beyond improving water and seabed quality, EKOGRID™ also compacts the bottom sediments by reducing its water content and binds nutrients to the seabed avoiding eutrophication and algae growth in seawater, coastal ponds and lakes.To date, we have invested €2.5M into the development and testing of our test to ensure its robustness and efficiency and move into the commercialisation stage. This technology has already demonstrated its performance and efficiency in soil and ground water remediation. Within the overall project, we intend to translate the technology into water and seabed applications.The proposed work in Phase 1 of the SME instrument fits into our overall plan to reach the market by contributing the financial resources needed to plan a fast sound wider deployment of EKOGRID™ and its m

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Combining genetic, physiological and viral tracing methods to understand the structure and function of neural circuits' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Concept**

One of the key features of the nervous system is that every brain area consists of a large variety of cell types defined either by their genetic profile, anatomy or physiology. It is widely believed and in some cases experimentally demonstrated that different cell types form well-defined microcircuits.One of the major challenges of neuroscience is to understand the structure and function of these circuits. The mouse retina provides an exceptional opportunity to reveal the structure and function of microcircuits.First, the input to the retina, the dynamically changing light pattern is well defined and can be experimentally manipulated. Second, it is possible to record the activity of most cell types during light stimulation from isolated retinas. Third, through standard genetic manipulations different cell types can be labelled with fluorescent markers allowing the identification of these cells in living retinas.The team's goal is to elucidate the structure and function of genetically identified microcircuits in the mouse retina, where approximately 52 cell types are organized into a dozen neural circuits. The team combines different biological disciplines to reach this goal.Transgenic technologies are used to label retinal cell types, viral tracing methods are used to light up" the connections of the labelled cell classes and electrophysiology combined with two-photon microscopy is used to record the activity of labelled cells during stimulation of the retina with light patterns."

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Assessing Activities of Daily Living from a Wearable RGB-D Camera for In-Home Health Care Applications' (EGOVISION4HEALTH), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

This project aims to develop the researcher‘s career to the point where he is in a very strong position to start his own research group and secure funding to do so. This will be achieved by complementing his existing scientific knowledge to give him a broad expertise on object detection, scene understanding and activity recognition, giving him training in complementary skills such as proposal writing, communication and management, allowing him to build collaborations and making him well-known throughout his research field through publications and conference attendance.The mobility objective is to transfer back to the EU the leading scientific expertise on object and activity detection in first person views only available at the Computational Vision Group at the University of California Irvine, USA, and to build long term collaborative links from this group to the return host, at Universidad de Zaragoza, experts in visual map building for mobile robotics. After project completion, the fellow is expected not only to go on researching in this emerging field, but also to make the technology transfer to produce commercial devices.This proposal aims at investigating the alloy between egocentric vision and visual map building to automatically provide the health professionals -occupational, rehabilitation and geriatric therapists- with an assessment of their patients’ ability to manipulate objects and perform activities of daily living (ADL). Research breakthroughs are required not only in vision-based ADL recognition and mapping but also in exploiting the synergy of the combination. The research objectives are:- to introduce the use of wearable RGB-D cameras and advance existing knowledge on object detection in first-person views,- to achieve advanced scene understanding by bu

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Exploring Shortcuts for the Characterization of the Atmospheres of Planets similar to Earth' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The question of whether or not there is life elsewhere in the Universe has recently taken a giant leap forward with the detection of several nearby Earth-sized, temperate exoplanets. Future ground and space-based telescopes such as the European-Extremely Large Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope and LUVOIR will theoretically be able to perform the first characterization of the atmosphere of these potentially habitable planets. Yet, the implementation of these telescopes is either risky, far in the future, or both. The ESCAPE project aims to investigate possible shortcuts for the characterization of the atmospheres of Earth-like exoplanets with existing ground and space-based telescopes, thanks to innovative combinations of observing techniques and instruments. The first objective is to investigate the possibility to detect and characterize an atmosphere around the recently discovered planet Proxima b – the closest exoplanet from us – with the high-contrast/high-resolution technique, using an adaptive optics system coupled to a high-resolution spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope. The second objective of the project is to calculate whether or not the signature (absorption lines) of a thick hydrogen/helium envelope around a habitable planet can be detected by (i) the Hubble Space Telescope and/or (ii) high-precision spectrographs mounted on ground-based telescopes. The general strategy is to use a sophisticated Global Climate Model – previously co-developed and used by the fellow – in combination with numerical models of exoplanet’s observability – developed at the University of Geneva, the host institution – to assess the possibility to make the first observations of potentially habitable planets. This project will provide pathfinder results that will further b

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Trade Preferences as Development Aid: Theory and Evidence' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Over the last 10 years the use of Special Trade Preferences – the granting of lower import tariffs to specific countries – has increasingly been used as a tool to encourage development in developing countries, primarily in Africa. Yet, despite the popularity of these tools - practically all sub-Saharan countries receive some form of special trade preferences - we have little understanding of how well they work, both in terms of transferring wealth and encouraging growth. On what basis should they be evaluated? How should they be designed to be the most effective? Can they be superior to alternatives of traditional foreign aid?We seek to answer these questions in three ways. First, we develop a theoretical model that specifically allows for varying types of export goods, in particular in the use of labor and (potentially imported) inputs as requirements on the use of imported intermediated inputs is an important feature of special trade preferences. Second we use two changes in trade policy – the removal of tariffs on fabric for a number of African Countries with the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) of 2000 as well as the expiration of fabric quotas primarily for Asian competitors in 2004 – to test the predictions of the model. To test the data we will use a highly disaggregated data set containing information on volume, type of imports and price, of imports into the US from a large set of exporters. Third we design a theoretical model that allows for growth enhancing effects of policy and study optimal policy in this context.Preliminary theoretical results indicate that the current design of AGOA – with no requirements on third party inputs – encourages the production of products with a large imported share of fabric and the removal on quotas for Asian competit

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Process re-engineering in Europe: choice, people and technology' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Executive summary: Though some firms point to their successful adoption of BPR, the limited body of systematic research suggests that actual experience of implementing BPR has been rather uneven, and often falling short of the expectations conjured by proponents of radical improvements. If BPR comprises a range of techniques and approaches, rather than a single unitary approach, the question arises under what conditions are particular approaches appropriate? This raises important questions for both business strategy and public policy of whether it might be advantageous to look for a distinctive approach or a range of approaches to BPR matched to the conditions in Europe or to particular national sectors. It also raises questions whether there is a strategic choice between 'top down' technocratic oriented approaches to BPR on the one hand and more 'bottom up' oriented approaches emphasizing participation and empowerment on the other hand. This project will examine the different approaches to BPR that have been espoused, and how they have been taken up differently by various exponents indifferent national, regional and sector contexts, and how they are again changed and redefined in the course of attempt to apply BPR in different organisations. The aim of the project is to identify policy options related to choices in management and IT strategies with a view of improving European business development hand in hand with the improvement of working life and the qualification base. Different management cultures, industrial relations and business structures in European countries provide rich opportunities for comparison and learning. The project will provide analytical foundation and knowledge for the support of learning processes and social dialogue across all levels of the Eu

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Support and coordination of the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Wind Energy (ETIPWind) and the SET-Plan Implementation Working Group on Offshore Wind (IWG OW).' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

The EU has committed to becoming the first climate neutral continent by 2050 and counts on wind energy to become the backbone of a sustainable and reliable European energy system. The European Commission expects wind energy to meet 30% of electricity demand by 2030 and 50% by 2050, from 16% today. To deliver on these ambitions the EU will need clear guidance on the wind energy Research & Innovation challenges and how to address them by 2030 and 2050.  ETIPWind was established in 2016 by WindEurope with the support from the European Commission to bring stakeholders together to inform policymaking on the priority areas of Research & Innovation that will contribute to meet the EU’s climate and energy goals. This project, SETIPWind, will strengthen the activities of the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Wind Energy (ETIPWind) and the SET Plan Implementation Working Group on Offshore Wind (IWG OW) so they continue providing guidance on R&I through clearly formulated recommendations in a timely fashion. It will also foster cohesion and knowledge sharing among all energy research stakeholders to ensure robust implementation of the EU’s SET-Plan Implementation Plans.  The project will achieve these objectives by establishing a joint Secretariat for both ETIPWind and the IWG OW that closely coordinates their activities, creating a joint work programme centred on EU energy and R&I policy-setting milestones, and offering more opportunities for stakeholder experts to come together and provide their feedback on the policy-making processes. The project will also connect the ETIPWind and IWG OW more closely with the other ETIPs and SET Plan stakeholder groups and develop joint positions, reports, and dissemination activities.
