user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Molecular and cellular effects of serotonin re-uptake inhibitors in the nervous system of C. elegans' (SEROT).

assistant: **Concept**

Dysfunction of the neurotransmitter serotonin is implicated in depression, obesity and diabetes. Depression is characterised by a deficit of serotonin neurotransmission. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are commonly prescribed as a treatment to inhibit the serotonin reuptake transporter and boost synaptic serotonin levels, alleviating depression.The specific mechanism of these antidepressants is increasingly ambiguous and the molecular targets of these drugs remain unknown. In order to understand the molecular and cellular targets of such antidepressants in humans we will use both genomic and genetic approaches with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system. This knowledge will facilitate the design of new and better drugs for treating depression and related disorders.As serotonin is important in regulating metabolic control we expect that SSRI targets may also be important in regulating metabolic pathways. One such pathway in C. elegans controls the formation of a resistant life stage called the dauer juvenile in response to adverse environmental conditions. Serotonin has been shown to suppress dauer formation.We propose to examine its role and the effect of SSRIs on the dauer pathway. Knowledge of genes playing a role in processing cues for entry into or exit from this state of diapause could be easily applied to other species. Many animal parasitic and the economically important insect parasitic nematodes are transmitted by an infective juvenile which is an arrested life stage similar to the dauer juvenile.This study would be important in understanding parasite life cycles and may also provide ideas to study the effects of serotonin on human metabolism. A primary aim of this project is to train a young nematologist in molecular biological t

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Markets and Networks' in the context of a Seventh Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Economists are becoming increasingly aware of the importance and ubiquity of social networks. The economics of social networks constitutes one of the most active areas of research in economics. Despite much progress, however, our understanding of the relationships between markets and networks is still poor and fragmentary. This project will advance the state of the art by analyzing the relations between markets and networks in two domains.I will first study theoretically the interaction between formal insurance and networks of informal insurance. I will analyze how the position in a risk-sharing network affects the incentives to adopt formal insurance, how network structure affects overall adoption, how formal insurance could benefit from network monitoring on efforts and whether the adoption of formal insurance strengthen or weaken the risk-sharing network. Second, I will study theoretically the impact of networks on markets with search frictions. I will derive the full-fledged equilibrium implications of network-based search in matching models of the labor market. I will also introduce recall in a finite-horizon matching model and study the impact of the emerging network of trading partners.

user: Explain how 'METROFOOD-RI Early Phase Implementation' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

METROFOOD-RI is a distributed research infrastructure (RI) that promotes scientific excellence in food quality and safety. It provides metrology services in food and nutrition across various highly interdisciplinary, interconnected fields along the food value chain, such as agrifood, sustainable development, food safety, quality, traceability and authenticity, environmental safety, and human health. In May 2022, it completed its preparatory phase upon the H2020 METROFOOD-PP project (GA871083). However, a few bottlenecks were identified in the final evaluation report; furthermore, the consortium prepared plans for the next short- and medium-term phases and the Board of Governmental representatives proposed several suggestions. METROFOOD-EPI was established with the overarching mission to build METROFOOD-RI as an infrastructure consolidated for its full implementation and to begin the operational phase, addressing any critical issues. Four specific objectives have been identified: support the establishment of the legal entity that will manage the RI, specify the technical implementation of the RI as service-oriented, consolidate its position in the landscape and secure long-term sustainability. METROFOOD-EPI will act on four layers, covering: ERIC set-up, including membership consolidation, governance establishment, securing funding, and distributed architecture; technical organisation and implementation of the RI for its operation, including a definition of user requirement specifications for the e-component and set-up of the core components, data management solutions, access, and services; consolidation of the RI’s positioning in the agrifood research & innovation landscape, including an update of the scientific strategy and contribution to the ERA, community building,

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'EUROPEAN NITROGEN FIXATION CONFERENCE 6' in the context of a Sixth Framework call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Legumes provide 33% of humankind's protein needs and 45 Tag of fixed nitrogen for global agriculture though Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF), due to their symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing rhizoid bacteria. Multidisciplinary research into BNF includes: microbiology; genetics; enzymologist; bioinorganic chemistry; molecular biology, genomic and polemics, recently using model bacteria and symbiotic plants. The diversity of approaches will be reflected in the 6th European Nitrogen Fixation Conference (ENFC6), which is expected to attract 300-350 participants, mostly from European laboratories. The ENFC6 Conference will be held in Toulouse, France (July, 2004).This 4-day meeting has the following goals:To present current, high quality, multidisciplinary research in BNF through talks and poster sessions.To forge interactions between fundamental aspects of BNF and applications in agriculture and the environment.To provide a forum for developing interactions and collaborations between European scientists, with colleagues particularly from Eastern Europe and Developing Countries. At the ENFC6, the opening session is intended to raise awareness of our research field by placing it in the context of global agriculture and environmental change. The remaining nine multidisciplinary sessions contain keynote talks and presentations by major scientists and junior researchers. There are two dedicated poster sessions and a special forum for junior scientists intended to foster contacts and networking. BNF research underpins society's interest in controlling the global N cycle through the development of sustainable and low-input agriculture.

user: Explain how 'MAtching Genes with MOLecules for FUNctional Analysis' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Innovation**

The MAGIC-MOLFUN doctorial network (DN) will train the next generation of specialists for transforming natural products research. They will be educated in a combination of wet-lab and computational skills to integrate genome mining and metabolomics with cutting-edge pathway discovery- and engineering approaches. There is a fast-growing demand for these combination of skills, but these are rarely taught in current integrated training programs.These multidisciplinary skills and qualifications will be acquired while achieving the scientific goals of the program, namely understanding and developing the complex biosynthesis and production of microbial NPs for cross-sector applications such as medicine, food, agriculture, or biotechnology. Specifically, the Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will work in three areas: (i) develop novel computational tools and algorithms to improve the identification and prediction quality of biosynthetic gene clusters encoding NP biosynthesis in genomic data. This genome-centred approach is complemented by (ii) the use cheminformatics approaches to link metabolomics data of NPs with the genomic data of the producers, which will greatly improve the compound discovery and dereplication process. These two data-centric approaches will finally (iii) converge into experimental applications that discover and characterize novel NPs with promising bioactivities (e.g., antibiotics, pre-/probiotics, agrichemicals, bio-pigments).The scientific training program is complemented by a comprehensive transferable skill training that will equip the DCs for todays’ demands of a successful career in industry and academia. The skills obtained in the DN will enable the DCs to work not only in natural product research but also many other data-intensive areas of biotechnology.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Volcanic Forcing in Climate Model Projections: Towards a New Paradigm.' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

Volcanic eruptions injecting gases into the stratosphere modify Earth’s radiative balance and atmosphere chemistry, which in turn impacts all components of the Earth system. The surface cooling that follows large eruptions can have major societal impacts and volcanic eruptions contribute to mitigate global warming. Yet, climate model projections use simplistic representation of this key forcing and commonly assume a constant volcanic forcing in the future. The most realistic projections only represent very large and rare eruptions, and ignore how climate change will affect the rise of volcanic plumes, the evolution of the associated aerosol clouds and the subsequent climate impacts.To improve the representation of volcanic forcing in climate model projections, I will address two fundamental questions:1) How does a statistically realistic representation of volcanic eruptions of all magnitude in climate models affect projected climate changes?2) How will climate-volcano feedbacks modulate the impact of future volcanic eruptions on climate?To answer them, I will perform a suite of experiments with the United Kingdom’s flagship Earth system model, UKESM1, which is a fully coupled aerosol-chemistry-climate model. These experiments are aimed to feed the designing of future climate projections.During the fellowship, I will gain brand-new skills in climate modeling and be trained by world-leading experts in this field. I will combine these skills with my expertise in physical volcanology to address the proposed research questions and, in particular, improve our understanding of climate-volcano interactions in the context of global climate change. The fellowship will enable me to become an interdisciplinary leader in climate-volcano research and will constitute a stepping stone

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Capacity and dynamics of agribusiness innovation systems' (CABIS) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Recently, many developing countries have experienced a significant growth in their agribusiness sector. Agribusiness is recognized for its potential for creating growth and eradicating poverty and there is an increasing need for dynamic innovation processes due to increased globalization, integration in global value chains, and radical changes in institutions and knowledge structures. The concept of ‘Innovation Systems’ (IS) can be applied to analyse how institutions, knowledge generation and diffusion, and commercial activities interact in today’s diversification of innovation. In practice, such agribusiness innovation systems (ABIS) in developing countries have often shown limited innovation capacity which threatens the sector’s competitive position and future development. This Post Doc project aims to enhance our understanding of factors limiting the increasingly dynamic IS. The project will develop a conceptual framework and analytical methods to identify limitations and intervention recommendations for strengthening innovation capacity in ABIS in the comparative case study involving Vietnam and Tanzania. During the last 20 years, these countries have had a similar political and economic development in terms of a transition from socialism to market-oriented economy, but in spite of this, the two countries have experienced significant differences in their development trajectories, hence providing a rich background for theory building and conceptualization.    ""

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Visual Recognition'.

assistant: **Concept**

Our goal is to develop the fundamental knowledge to design a visual system that is able to learn, recognize and retrieve quickly and accurately thousands of visual categories, including materials, objects, scenes, human actions and activities. A ``visual google'' for images and videos -- able to search for the ``nouns'' (objects, scenes), ``verbs'' (actions/activities) and adjectives (materials, patterns) of visual content.  The time is right for making great progress in automated visual recognition: imaging geometry is well understood, image features are now highly developed, and relevant statistical models and machine learning algorithms are well-advanced.  Our goal is to make a quantum leap in the capabilities of visual recognition in real-life scenarios.  The outcomes of this research will impact any applications where visual recognition is useful, and will enable new applications entirely: effortlessly searching and annotating home image and video collections on their visual content; searching and annotating large commercial image and video archives (e.g. YouTube); surveillance; using an image, rather than text, to access the web and hence identify its visual content.

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Valorisation of the carob pod into an added value natural extract for the food and drink industry'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Beet and cane sugar’s reputation is plummeting among EU28 citizens. Consequently, the Food&Drink industry is seeking for alternative sweeteners to enhance their products’ palatability while meeting consumers’ demands of healthier and natural products. In this context, fruit concentrates arise as a reliable sugar substitute since they are a natural sweetener perceived as healthier. This segment is expected to grow globally at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 5.5% to reach an estimated global value of around 38,500 M€ by 2022 .Encouraged by this situation, in GMFortún we have developed a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly process to obtain from the carob pod a bioactive natural sweetener suited for the Food & Drink and Nutraceutical industry. It consists on a syrup with a balanced proportion of carbohydrates, PINITOL (a bioactive compound), minerals (very rich in Potassium) and refined polyphenols. This unique composition makes it nutritionally healthier than other sweeteners and a perfect sugar substitute, especially in the juice industry. We have received the interest from key companies from the Food&Drink and Nutraceutical sector that have encourage us to develop this new product since it fits their technical and commercial needs. Besides its market potential, CERATONIA+ will bring important environmental benefits. The carob pod (our raw material) is a by-product of the carob tree’s fruit. The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a Mediterranean crop acknowledged by its environmental benefits: it can recover eroded soil, survive to heavy droughts and wildfires, improve soils’ fertility by fixing nitrogen and fix 3 times more CO2 than other woody crops with 2.5 times less water. Thanks to our product, we will promote the growing of 5,500ha. of carob tree

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Inkjet-Printed organic Photodetectors for Imaging Applications' (IPPIA) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The recent development of a wide range of solution processable functional materials, especially organic semiconductors and highly conducting metal inks, and the broad availability of graphical arts printing technologies are at the base of a revolution which will lead to the fabrication of organic opto-electronics devices by means of high-throughput, inexpensive mass production processes. Additive printing techniques offer in fact advantages in terms of process simplification, layer-to-layer alignment, compatibility with large areas, and potential cost reduction compared to subtractive lithographic patterning. In particular inkjet, which is a non-contact technique, offers high flexibility and is compatible with a large range of functional materials. It is particularly advantageous when controlled volumes of inks have to be placed in precise positions on a substrate, as for example in the case of organic photodetectors (OPDs). The possibility to tune OPDs responsivity, therefore enabling a selective photodetection, and to deposit them in principle on substrates of any kind and shape, make them very appealing for various advanced applications.Project IPPIA aims to demonstrate inkjet printed OPDs sensitive to the visible spectrum of light, suitable for imaging applications. Dr. M. Caironi will be responsible of this scientific activity, which will take place at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), a leading research center in Italy. The final objective of this project is to fabricate small arrays of an organic active pixel by integrating OPDs with suitable organic field-effect transistors, acting as an electrical switch, thus paving the way for cost-effective, light-weight, conformable digital imagers. The expertise of Dr. Caironi in the field, and the infrastructures
