user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Europractice' in the context of a Fourth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

The overall objective is to stimulate wider exploitation of state-of-the-art microelectronics technologies by European industry.Basic Services (EUROPRACTICE) offers a cost-effective and flexible means of accessing ASICs, MCMs and Microsystems technologies through the provision of consultancy, training, software tools, design support, low-volume production runs and access to normally" internal volume production facilities. The costs of developing ASICs and MCMs for dedicated applications with low-volume production are often prohibitively high, especially for SMEs. Multi Project Wafer (MPW) runs and dedicated low-volume MCM services offer a cost-effective route to ASIC and MCM design and fabrication. The cost, complexity and expertise required to develop Microsystems components or Microsystem based products often present a barrier to the introduction of this technology. Services providing solutions and knowledge in a globally integrated manner - a path from feasibility studies and prototyping through to high volume production - are offered. Design, Microsystems process technology, as well as packaging and integration of the Microsystems component in the final product or system are all covered.EUROPRACTICE Basic Services will reduce the cost and risk for companies who wish to begin using these technologies."

user: Explain how 'Microbial Remediation of Agricultural Land' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Innovation**

NGB has developed and brought to TRL6 its MICROREAL microbial formulation soil conditioner. It degrades persistent pesticide residues, restores soil biota diversity, increases the availability of essential nutrients, stimulates the natural defences of plants against pathogens, and reverses the damage done to land by decades of intensive agriculture and horticulture.  MICROREAL is targeted at the intensive glasshouse horticulture industry and is for growers wishing to cut pesticide and fertiliser inputs, cut operation costs, and shift rapidly to a sustainable, integrated and more profitable horticulture.  We have carried out limited trials in commercial glasshouses used to produce high value salad vegetables at several farms in Turkey, with the following results:  - eliminates organochlorine residues to below detectable levels within 48h - triggers induced systemic resistance in plants against pathogens - sequesters iron ions and inhibits the proliferation of pathogenic soil fungi - lowers the total amount of pesticides applied to glasshouse crops - increases the availability of N, P and K in soils. Growers can cut artificial fertiliser applications by up to 50% - Yield increases of 30-50% NGB seek Phase I funding for a feasibility study that will examine the market and commercial viability of MICROREAL, prior to maturation in a future Phase II. The feasibility study will produce:  - A market study on the European glasshouse horticulture industry, its geographic centres, main products, costs and pesticide use - An analysis of competitor microbial products for soil remediation and fertility restoration - A quantification of the economic benefit of MICROREAL to end users - The scale-up needed at NGB and the geographic expansion needed of our value chain to cover European a

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Optogenetic dissection of motor cortex dynamics and pathways' (OptoMotorPath).

assistant: **Concept**

Within a densely interconnected network, selective communication can be achieved only if neuronal inputs and outputs are functionally segmented and if only one segment is selected for a given time and neural population. We focus here on this process in the primary motor cortex (M1) which projects to a variety of brain structures involved in motor generation and suppression as well as somatosensory perception. We propose to investigate what kind of information is sent to two of M1’s main target brain areas – the striatum and the somatosensory cortex by separate or partially overlapping neural subpopulations. To dissect the two pathways we will apply new optogenetic projection and stimulation strategies and combine them with controlled behavior and electrophysiological recordings conducted with advanced optoelectronic probes. The goal is to neurophysiologically characterize the two populations in a specially designed Go/NoGo task with sensorimotor component and understand their functional relevance for motor behavior. For causally defining the optimal stimulation frequencies for a specific task period, we will make use of real-time feedback by measuring ongoing oscillatory patterns and enhance or phase shift the synchronized activity in motor cortex and its targets. In particular, we will focus on beta and gamma band oscillations. While beta band activity has been mainly associated with the suppression of movements and with postural maintenance as well as sensorimotor integration and planning, elevated gamma band activity has been reported often during movement initiation and attention. We hypothesize that the best suited resonance frequencies differ between the two communication paths to S1 and striatum and that they might change across trial phases. Apart from the impac

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Genetic basis and functional consequences of pre- and post-hatching parental effects' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Parental effects – the expression of offspring traits depending upon the influence of parental phenotype -have become a major focus of interest in behavioural and evolutionary biology. They represent potentially very important epigenetic component of offspring phenotype that can advance, slow or even reverse phenotypic changes in response to selection. The simultaneous selection on parental and offspring traits is thought to result in a co-adaptation of parental and offspring traits which may result in negative or positive genetic correlations depending upon the selection pressures. This has mostly been studied in the context of post-hatching parent-offspring co-adaptation, with the focus on the co-adaptation in parental supply and offspring demand mechanisms. More recently, pre-hatching influences on offspring development and their influence on post-hatching parent-offspring interactions have become a major research focus due to the discovery of maternal hormones. However the genetic basis of pre-hatching parent-offspring co-adaptation has not been studied, nor how it relates and affects post-hatching parent-offspring interactions. I intend to study the genetic basis of pre-hatching parent-offspring co-adaptation, and its influence on post-hatching parent-offspring interactions. I will use specific breeding designs and genetic markers to separate and direct genetic effects from genetic and non-genetic parental effects. I will use theoretical modelling to understand how different types and mechanisms of parental effects evolve or influence evolution when selection on parents and offspring differs, focusing on the interaction of prenatal and postnatal maternal effects. Finally, I will experimentally test the functional consequences for parents and offspring when pre-hatc

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Factors driving mother-to-infant microbiota transfer' (MicroMI).

assistant: **Concept**

Human microbiota has vital effects on human health and physiology. Gut microbiota alteration has been linked to risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as allergy, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. NCDs are increasing and account for more than 41 million people deaths per year (71% of all deaths globally), being more critical in infants. Early microbial colonization of the GIT is essential for an optimal health, thus, altered microbial colonization patterns have been linked to an increased risk of NCDs. Mother-to-infant transfer of microbes is believed to be a crucial opportunity to pass on IM from one generation to another, representing a pivotal step in the development of the early infant gut microbiota. Much research to date has addressed the impact of the environment on the microbiota composition, nowadays, is time to go further and to define this mechanism in a compositional, functional and metabolic level. An in-depth understanding of the effect of maternal IM in the early life and its long-term impact is urgently needed. The EU is promoting actions developing new dietary solutions to improve public health, therefore, MicroMI aims to make a novel approach by using state-of-the-art methodologies already established within the host institution (CSIC) to reveal the mechanisms underlying this host-microbe interaction in the GIT development and maturation in early life. MicroMI adapts methods based on cutting-edge sequencing technologies to gain knowledge on probiotic-related issues. This project will positively impact on the European society and economy. Within MicroMi, the applicant will perform state-of-the-art research, will promote science as a career and gender equality and she will establish an innovative translation multidisciplinary programme.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Next-generation water testing for the European market (NG-WTEM)'.

assistant: **Innovation**

WaterScope is Cambridge University spin-out developing a rapid, simple to use water testing system for the developing world. The system has been trialled in one of the largest refugee camps in the modern world, and the organisation has won the University of Cambridge, Vice Chancellor’s Overall Impact Award. WaterScope has raised over £200,000 of non-dilutive funding from grants and competitions. The technology is currently at TRL 5/6.  The proposed project is to investigate the use of the technology in the European market. The majority of testing done in European labs use conventional bacteria culturing methods, which are slow (>24 hours), and labour intensive requiring manual sample processing and quantification. WaterScope’s automated testing system allows for a much faster test, with results obtained in less than 6 hours - quicker than anything on the market at the moment - with results automatically quantified. In addition to this WaterScope’s novel cartridge makes sample preparation simple, significantly reducing human error and sample preparation times. The water testing market is a global market with the U.S.A. being the largest consumer market segment, representing over 40% of the market, followed by Europe (~25%) and Asia Pacific.  However, the European market is the leading global manufacturer and exporter of water testing instruments. The European E. coli environmental testing market was valued at 46.06 million USD in 2015 and estimated to reach 60.67 million USD by 2020. The proposed project will investigate feasibility of WaterScope’s current system in the European market, in particular for the regulatory and contractual water testing market. The objectives are:1.Identify and quantify the most appropriate market segment and resulting product requirements. 2

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'CROwd Simulation System for Emergency Situations' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project deals with Simulation and Training and intends to develop advanced simulation system for outdoor urban emergency situations. The three dimension environment will be constructed using real imagery (aerial and on the ground) as well as virtual models. Acoustic simulation from sound samples and sound modelisation as well as graphic representation of people and crowd will guarantee a detailed realistic description of the situation. Specific developments on crowd representation, crowd behaviour modelling and control connected to acoustic corresponding effects will complete this dynamic simulation and training system. The foreseen application so far, concerns the training through advanced simulation to emergency situations such as an incident on a Chemical Plant in a suburb, with rehearsing of an evacuation plan, or validation of any safety procedure.Objectives:The objectives of this project is to provide Virtual Reality tools for training people to efficiently respond to urban emergency situations, given the need to be prepared and trained to these emergency situations to limit the side effects due to inappropriate behaviour and plans the foreseen application so far, concerns the training through advanced simulation to emergency situations such as an incident on a Chemical Plant in a suburb, with rehearsing of an evacuation plan, or validation of any safety procedure. We intend to demonstrate the use of a simulator to get prepared to these situations by recreating an actual area with high degree of realism (static 3D environment with dynamic smart objects, dynamic crowd and sounds) so that efficient and useful training to dynamic situations and scenarios can be performed (through global and immersive interaction).Work description:The project will start with the

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Telematics in the Information Society' (DEPLOY).

assistant: **Concept**

The DEPLOY project aims at forming a bridge between the Telematics Applications Programme and the Information Society. The initial focus of the project will be on education, rural areas and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The project will identify the needs in these areas and the barriers ans obstacles to the successful deployment of telematics. Subsequent development will include EU-wide study of central issues and strategies, followed by expert synthesis of the results. An electronic forum open to participants will regularly collect and circulate information on all DEPLOY activities.The European consortium DEPLOY aims to form a bridge between the projects of the European Commission's Telematics Application Programme and the Information Society.DEPLOY's task is to anticipate vital issues to be addressed for the successful deployment of these applications in the Information Society. To this end, it will bring together key partners to work on expectations (i.e. barriers, obstacles and needs), to validate them and then to approach decision makers to determine the best mode of deployment. The project will be user driven and will take an iterative approach.This initial DEPLOY project will focus in depth on three domains of users :- Higher Education & Research - Rural Aspects- Small & Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs)The Users' Expectations will be identified in 3 domains with respect to the deployment of new telematics applications. The issues will be validated with projects in the relevant Telematics programme sectors (Education & Training, Urban & Rural), and local meetings will be held in each member state. The next step will be to enlarge the number of barriers, obstacles and needs by consultation with the other sectors of the Telematics Application Programme.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Intelligent System for optimising the on-line Finish process for stone slabs and wood panels (WOODSTONE)' under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

The WOOD-STONE system to be designed, built and tested within the project will be basically made up of a 3D laser scanner device equipped with a digital camera and/or a video-camera in order to be used for acquiring necessary information (on slabs and wood panels) which will be processed by a specific SW system able to interact with the machining line for the final finishing/polishing operations giving the expected answers on the quality of the final products.The innovative system aims at obtaining the following main different results: Supply reference parameters to the final semi-processed material manufacturing phases. This aspect regards marble slabs; mostly the final working phase of polishing and potential wood applications are also foreseen related t o the finishing of wood panels. This operative phase is carried out in order to give desired exterior features to the final products by removing material with grindstones.The running depth is obviously the crucial parameter of this phase. The 3D scanner is able to detect all the existing defects on the marble slab that needs to be polished or on wood panels. Scanning will take about 10 seconds (for marble slabs with maximum size: 2.5 x 3.0 m) acquiring the marble slab shape and the various defects will be mapped and measured too. A vision system will also operate and will assess the strictly exterior aspects of the scanned material.The dedicated SW will then proceed, for each defect, to calculate the most significant geometrical parameters such as defect perimeter and depth. The SW system will also calculate the running depth of the polishing phase to set up the machining parameters. The deeper the running depth, the higher number of defects will be eliminated. On the other hand, the deeper the running depth, the grea

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Scaling-up the involvement of women in supporting and accelerating market uptake of renewable energy sources for heating and cooling'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Women hold great potential as agents of change, driving the clean energy transition and getting us closer to meeting the EU’s climate and energy targets for 2030. W4RES taps into this potential to support the uptake of renewable energy in heating and cooling (RHC), a market that urgently needs to shift more to RES. We start with a deep dive into framework conditions and regional specificities of 8 diverse yet representative markets in Europe, assessing enablers and barriers to RHC uptake. Building on gender-disaggregated insights from market actors and stakeholders as well as successful cases of women leading RHC projects, we develop a suite of flexible and cost-effective support measures with high reapplication potential. We then deploy our measures on the field offering technical and business support to cut down project development timings and efforts as well as to sidestep legal, institutional and financial challenges, setting in motion feasible and sustainable business models fit to market. In parallel, we empower decision-makers to leverage a gender perspective into their projects and policies to improve acceptance, while raising awareness to foster demand for RHC. Along the way, a gender-responsive monitoring and evaluation framework will gauge the performance and impact of our measures, providing us with the intel required to turn them from solutions fit for a set of local challenges to integrated solutions that can address diverse policy and market needs across Europe. We use this intel as a catalyst to foster co-creation, mutual learning and international cooperation for frameworks more conducive to RHC uptake at local, regional national and EU level, based on cost-effective support schemes and lower financing costs for RHC facilities. In the process, we coordi
