user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Driven by mutualists: how declines in pollinators impact plant communities and ecosystem functioning' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Pollinator declines in response to land-use intensification have raised concern about the persistence of plant species dependent on insect pollination, in particular by bees, for their reproduction. Recent empirical studies show that reduced pollinator abundance decreases densities of seedlings of insect-pollinated plants and thereby changes the composition of grassland plant communities. Cascading effects on ecosystem functioning and associated organisms are expected, but to which extent and under which conditions this is the case is yet unexplored. Here, I propose a bold, multi-year, landscape-scale experimental assessment of the extent of pollinator-driven plant community changes, their consequences for associated organisms and important ecosystem functions, and their likely contingency on other factors (soil fertility, herbivory).Specifically I will:(1) Set up a network of long-term research plots in landscapes differing in pollinator abundance to measure the changes in plant reproduction over successive years, and assessing experimentally how herbivory and soil fertility mediate these effects.(2) Explore the individual processes linking pollinators, plant communities and ecosystem functioning using long-term experiments controlling pollinator, herbivore and nutrient availability, focusing on a sample of plant species covering both the dominant species and a diversity of functional traits.(3) Assess the context-dependence of pollinator-mediated plant community determination by building and applying process-based models based on observational and experimental data, and combine with existing spatially-explicit pollinator models to demonstrate the applicability to assess agri-environmental measures.This powerful blend of complementary approaches will for the first time

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Managing trIplets for fLuorescence in ORganics: Towards a predictive moDel (MILORD)'.

assistant: **Concept**

The research in the field of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has greatly advanced over the last decades, driven by the potential of OLED technology for various display applications. Yet, today, most of the commercial OLED devices contain expensive rare metals like Iridium and Platinum. An alternative promising strategy is based on the use of all-organic emitters, featuring the recently reported thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) mechanism. Relying on a reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process, TADF-based OLEDs may utilize all electrically generated singlet and triplet excitons, going well beyond the 25% spin statistical bottleneck of organic electroluminescence. Nowadays, however, only a few TADF-based OLEDs have demonstrated efficiencies comparable to the best metal-organic materials. Research efforts so far have been mostly based on a trial-and-error approach in absence of a solid fundamental understanding of the underlying processes. The project MILORD aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the TADF mechanism through the use of an original multiscale modelling approach, going all the way from the molecular to the device scale. We will explore the energetics and nature of the involved excited states, describe the kinetics of competing processes, and model the diffusion and interactions of singlets and triplets in a realistic medium. The results of MILORD will provide detailed mechanistic insights into the TADF process, which will ultimately allow us to identify structure-property relationships and propose new strategies to minimize losses. By integrating the research into a large collaborative network around the Host and the Fellow, we hope that our theoretical work will guide synthetic efforts towards the discovery of a new generation of m

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Validation of Cervical Stiffness Characterization for Prenatal Care and Preterm Birth Diagnostics'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Pregnolia was founded in 2016, as a spin-off from the ETH Zurich and aims to be the first company selling a diagnostic device to determine the risk of Premature Birth (PTB) based on the measurements of cervical tissue stiffness to provide a solution that is usable by any woman undergoing routine pregnancy examinations. The goal of CervixCare is to scientifically and technologically characterize the gynaecological device in terms of measuring functions and gather clinical evidence to validate the diagnostic value of the medical device.The uniqueness of the system relies on its novel methodology to detect the risk of PTB, as there is no other commercially available solution based on the cervix stiffness. The proposed recruitment of an Innovation Associate in CervixCare will have significant impact on the business opportunities of Pregnolia by bringing in lacking expertise for the validation and certification of Pregnolia’s System into a diagnostic medical device.  The envisaged grant will help to overcome the recruitment barriers of being a relatively unknown, small start-up enterprise that cannot compete with larger companies due to limited visibility, salary, recruitment budget and (perceived) career opportunities.CervixCare requires a multi-disciplinary scientist that understands the biomechanics for soft tissue, is able to model/simulate data by performing experiments and is able to use data for complex requirements for clinical validation and regulation of the diagnostic medical device. The main added value of the CervixCare project for the IA is the opportunity to pursue the transition from an academic environment focusing on basic research to a business environment focusing on developing competitive and cutting-edge products. Next to this, the IA will have the oppo

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Material Authority: Managing Mineral Abundance in Early Modern Japan' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Material Authority (MMA) puts mines and mining at the center of the political, commercial, and social transformations within Japan from 15201720. The project hypothesizes that the boom in precious metals proved decisive in shaping early modern Japans domestic governance and foreign relations and proposes the first comprehensive study of Japans mineral politics at this time. Examining mines well-known (Iwami, Sado) and less-appreciated (Ikuno, Naganoburi) from across the archipelago, MMA departs from quantitative analyses prioritizing mineral production and investigates how authority materialized through mines, and how mines and mineral extraction authored power in Japan. Rich new silver deposits were first tapped in the 1520s; at the turn of the seventeenth century Japans silver production was second only to the mines of Spanish America, and at the turn of the eighteenth century it was the worlds largest producer of copper. Material Authority integrates and interrogates many of the landmark transitions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: protracted conflict yielding to political unification, a rapid expansion and curtailment of foreign relations. Mines and mining occupy a niche in the accounts of these transformations but have never been offered as an organizing principle by which to examine each and their effects on one another. To this end, the project team will pursue three lines of research: exploring how mines shaped authority, catalyzed management, and facilitated exchange. A paleography seminar will facilitate collaboration and develop skills honed by research in Japan conducted at archives and through on-site visits. A parallel research seminar will spotlight scholarship on mineral politics and resource management across geographical specialty and model

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Dragon - Sustaining Technology And Research Plus (EU-China Collaboration)' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

China is already an important global actor in the fields of research and innovation, and has the potential of becoming a leading force in the next few decades. The shift in China’s strategy focusing towards R&I and transforming the essence of its economy has been complimented with massive public investments in research and technology. The EU having recognised the leading role China is expected to play, and having adopted a strategic position for becoming a knowledge-based economy, is required to collaborate with China in areas of mutual interest, and for common benefit and prosperity. Moreover for critical global issues which demand close scientific and technological cooperation at an international level, EU has identified in China a natural partner able to contribute and complement its own capacity.The proposed initiative aims to provide support services to European and Chinese researchers, and a flexible platform to facilitate policy discussions between European and Chinese stakeholders. Moreover, DRAGON-STARPLUS will provide the EC and the Member States with a toolset for setting a long term cooperation strategy in research and innovation with China.  The project aims to provide efficient services on three levels (priority areas): - Support the European and Chinese research communities to establish collaborations under Horizon 2020 and beyond. -Provide a cooperation platform and tools to policy makers, aiming ultimately to support and enhance the bilateral cooperation, through the concept of mutual benefit.-Provide an ERA-NET style platform to funding agencies for exchanging best practices and planning joint activities.The proposed activities take into account the current on-going policy dialogue and the peculiarities of the research and innovation environment in Chi

user: Describe how 'Setting the framework for the enhanced impact of SPIRE projects' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Increasing industrial uptake of project findings is at the heart of project SPRING. It is the essential building block for ensuring greater impact of SPIRE projects and therefore progress towards the SPIRE roadmap goals of increased resource and energy efficiency in the EU process industries.Instead of focusing on a small cluster of projects, SPRING has been developed to provide the mechanism to enhance the impact of all SPIRE projects. Project SPRING’s objective is to increase progress towards the SPIRE goals and enhance return on investment in projects by addressing the needs of those who make the decisions to adopt process innovations in industry and barriers to their adoption. It will do this by providing guidance to project participants, decision makers in industry and broader SPIRE stakeholders, enabling them collectively to: 1. Improve the articulation of the value of project exploitable outputs 2. Improve the articulation of industry needs and barriers-to-uptake of exploitable outputs 3. Improve the mapping of project value to industry needs 4. Identify policy gaps and recommendations to improve project impactTo address these objectives, the project will deliver six sets of exploitable outputs:A – Guidance on best practice of how to measure progress, impact and success of SPIRE projects.B – Frameworks for getting different levels of project results to the right audience through the spire2030.eu portal C – A model for mapping project outputs to industry needs, through thematic, interactive industry workshops, expert input and technology scanning methods.D – Guidance for understanding business barriers to uptake, including best practice for enabling good decision making when evaluating project outputs.E – A package of training and network groups to upskill SPIRE p

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Establishing cryopreservation methods for conserving european plant germplasm collections' (CRYMCEPT).

assistant: **Innovation**

About 20, 000 plant species are believed to be endangered, rare and threatened with extinction. Their preservation is essential for classical and modern plant breeding programmes. Also, this biodiversity is a source of compounds for the pharmaceutical, food and crop protection industries. Conventionally, germplasm is conserved through seeds, roots, cuttings, etc. For long-term storage of plant germplasm, cry preservation is the only available method. Soar, cry preservation procedures were mainly developed based on empirical grounds. Hence, cry preservation of plant germplasm is still not a standardised method and depends on tissue and plant species/variety. This project aims to determine the necessary physic-biochemical state of any plant species/tissues needed for successful cry preservation. As such a generally applicable cry preservation protocol can be established and becomes available for all germplasm collections in Europe.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Performance evaluation methods for autonomous, applications orientated wind turbine systems' (1994-1998) under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Objective A major reason for small wind turbines not realising their market potential is the lack of a credible, technical basis for granting and verifying performance warranties - ie for 'guaranteeing results'. The objective of this project is to provide this technical basis. Technical Approach Appropriate methods for evaluation of small wind turbine performance should not be restricted to those used for grid connected turbines. It is probable that multi-parameter, characteristic charts are better suited to the market need. Overall performance depends on wind speed, nature of the load, turbulence, drive train efficiency and system matching. Methods are needed to define general performance, to use such information to predict and warrant performance in specific end-user applications, and to verify real in-service performance. The project approach will involve: - selecting and commissioning three commercial wind turbines - defining their characteristics when connected to unrealistic but generic loads - developing an improved understanding of how real loads behave - developing methods to predict system performance for real end-user loads carrying out long term tests to verify these methods - formalising the test and interpretation procedures. Expected Achievements and Exploitation Success will bring the industrial benefit of removing a major barrier to widespread adoption of small, non-grid-connected, application orientated, wind turbine systems. The results of the project will lead directly to an International Electrotechnical Commission standard (the proposers are members of a formal standards drafting team and have initiated this project to underpin the new standard). The three SME manufacturers whose machines will be used in the project have strong commercial interests

user: Explain how 'Dualities and conformal strings' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

Research objectives and content The main objective is the investigation of various aspects of dualities in string theory. The recent progress in understanding non-perturbative features of superstrings has revealed many striking relationships between apparently different theories. Such dualities can relate two theories that superficially have completely different properties. The subject is both fascinating and developing at a rapid pace. In the discussion of the dualities a new object, the D-brane, naturaly appears. One of my main goals is a closer investigation of the relation between the tensionless strings discussed in the D-brane context and the conformal strings which correspond to the high energy limit of the usual strings. The main goals also include the study of extended objects (p-branes and tensionless p-branes), the role that they play in the understanding of superstring dualities and their possible incorporation into string theory. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) Members of the DAMTP Particles Group and General Relativity Group have played a leading role in the development of superstring theory as a consistent quantum theory of gravity unified with the other fundamental forces. One of the major theme in the group's current research is in the area of duality symmetries of supersymmetric string and field theory, in the development of which, the group members also play a leading role. Since I expect to work on these particular subjects the the benefit of the requested training would be enormous for my future research work in string dualities.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'UV-B perception and signalling by the UVR8 photoreceptor' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) is a key environmental signal that is specifically perceived by plants and promotes UV acclimation and survival in sunlight. We discovered recently that the Arabidopsis UVR8 protein is absolutely required for UV-B acclimation and functions as the major UV-B photoreceptor in plants: UVR8 dimer perception of UV-B photons leads to monomerization and direct interaction with the E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1, the central regulator of light signalling. We proposed that the initial UV-B perception step by the UVR8 photoreceptor involves the aromatic amino acid tryptophan as a chromophore. The UVR8 protein contains 14 tryptophans, localized mostly at the top of the predicted UVR8 beta-propeller structure. This hydrophobic surface is probably the surface through which UVR8 dimerizes, generating a tryptophan-rich “interphase” between the two monomers. Although it is clear from our combined genetic, physiological, molecular and biochemical data that UVR8 functions as the long-sought-after UV-B photoreceptor in plants, the mechanism of UV-B absorption and the immediate impact on the UVR8 protein and its interactors remains elusive. We would like to address this current major gap in photobiology in frame of the ERC project “UV-B Perception”. The proposed project will provide mechanistic insights into this newly discovered perception mechanism and photoreceptor pathway, which is of utmost importance for the survival of plants.
