user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Deconstructing Cell-Extracellular Matrix Co-Adaptive Mechanisms by Hydrogel Mechano-Actuation in Pathological Microenvironments' (ECMAP).

assistant: **Innovation**

Fibrosis, characterized by tissue stiffening and altered FAK signaling patterns, is highly prevalent in Europe and places a significant financial burden on our healthcare system. However effective treatments are hampered by the lack of accurate disease models.  While most of our disease understanding comes from studying cells under static conditions, in vivo cell interactions are far from static, leading to inconsistencies between lab models, suggesting that tissue stiffness alone drives fibrosis, and clinical observations, indicating otherwise.The ECMAP project aims to bridge this gap in our knowledge by introducing a novel approach that replicates the dynamic processes driving fibrosis. Professor Fernandez's lab has recently discovered a molecular link between mechanical forces and FAK signaling at individual focal adhesions (IFAs), crucial in functional tissue-scale processes. This project will elucidate the role of increased FAK activity at IFAs during force transmission and mechanosensing in fibrosis progression. This will be achieved by combining molecular devices, light-activated ligands, and cutting-edge microscopy tools to monitor (fibrotic and healthy) FAK signaling in real-time while applying controlled forces at IFAs. This innovative platform for studying fibrosis progression at an unprecedented molecular resolution aims to facilitate drug discovery, enhance early diagnosis, and develop new tools for monitoring fibrosis and other tissue mechanics diseases. Our work represents a paradigm shift in treating mechano-diseases, aligning with urgent healthcare needs and offering hope for more targeted and effective solutions.

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Easy-eco' to be submitted under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

The need for the EASY-ECO project arises from two principal facts:1) Since the signing of the Amsterdam Treaty the principle of sustainable development has become one of the basic objectives of policy making in the EU. The evaluations of all policies and programmes hence have to consider this aspect.2) A scientific, generally acknowledged basis for these evaluations is presently still lacking, but research efforts are under way in many relevant disciplines to overcome this deficit. Nevertheless, the work within these disciplines is poorly related to each other. The growing body of practical evaluation projects provides ample evidence of the claimed shortcomings. EASY-ECO aims at making a contribution to the amelioration of this situation. It will consist of a Euroworkshop to determine the state of science", a working period for young researchers to determine the "state of practice" and a EuroConference to disseminate the findings. EASY-ECOOs main objectives are hence:1) An assessment of the state of knowledge in the various scientific disciplines dealing with the subject 2) A meta-analysis of the practice of evaluation of sustainable development programmes and projects 3) An analysis of the different versions of the underlying models and assumptions. 4) An analysis of the methods used in practice and in methodological research (analysis and valuation methods) 5) A contribution to the dissemination of scientific progress made in the field, both to the research community as well as to practitioners. The added value for the community is the speeding up of the practical implementation of evaluations to implement the envisaged sustainability strategy. EASY-ECO will create sound foundations for the evaluation of sustainable development in order to provide better tools for dec

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'ecr-bAsed muLticharged ion Beam for Active debris removal and oTher remediatiOn stRategies' (ALBATOR), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Space pollution from satellite debris poses a critical challenge for the sustainability of space operations and traffic management. To address this, several concepts for space debris removal are being explored, including both contact-based and contactless methods. Contact-based solutions are especially complex due to the unpredictable motion of space debris, which could easily damage or destroy these systems during retrieval attempts. ALBATOR, a contactless approach, proposes the use of the Ion Beam Shepherd method, which relies on momentum transfer from a collimated, multiply-charged plasma beam. The project focuses on designing and developing an Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR)-like ion beam system, along with the necessary electronics, including RF power systems, high-voltage components, command and control systems, and gas regulation units. To achieve that ambition, ALBATOR will optimize the ion beam system by gaining a deep understanding of plasma discharge and plume expansion physics. It will create advanced models to simulate plasma discharge and its interaction with debris, accounting for factors such as multiply-charged ions, electromagnetic wave behavior, and materials interactions like sputtering, which influence momentum transfer.A series of vacuum chamber tests will be conducted to characterize the ion beam's properties, such as ion current, energy, and composition, under simulated space conditions. Additionally, the interaction of the ion beam with various satellite materials will be studied to assess its effectiveness in momentum transfer. The system’s versatility will also be tested using different propellants.The results from these tests will contribute to simulations of various mission scenarios, including debris deorbiting and detumbling.

In the scope of the ICT-58 call, AEDIB|NET has the objective to strengthen a common African European digital innovation ecosystem by supporting local digital innovation and start-up ecosystems in Africa and facilitating the collaboration between European and African DIHs. AEDIB|NET aims to build on the experience of European DIHs, and adapt the approach to the African context in order to facilitate synergies and collaboration potential. This includes developing and strengthening key infrastructure such as a Pan-African network of DIHs, as well as building strategic cooperation mechanisms and facilitating bridging activities on technical capacity building and technology transfer between African and European innovators and start-ups, SMEs, private sector actors, academia, local governments and investors. In addition, AEDIB|NET will foster the development of an enabling environment that is reinforced by conducive local policies. The African consortium partners are the cornerstones of the African digital innovation ecosystem and have the strength of bringing together relevant policymakers (i4policy, SAS), supporting innovators and start-ups in Innovation Hubs (AfriLabs, Digital Africa) and investors (ABAN, VC4A). Their expertise is core to successfully building networks on the continent and beyond. The European consortium partners contribute experience in fostering innovation, entrepreneurship and investment, as well as the establishment of and networking between DIHs (FundingBox, Steinbeis, EBN, EBAN, Civitta). Thereby, in the scope of AEDIB|NET, these partners ensure full access to the European innovation ecosystem, DIHs and experience of the efforts made by the EU in the past.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Suffering America: Writing Pain in Nineteenth-Century United States Literature'.

assistant: **Concept**

The project entitled “Suffering America: Writing Pain in Nineteenth-Century United States Literature” (USPAIN) aims to analyze the experience of physical pain and psychological suffering as it is represented in American literary texts across the nineteenth-century. Although pain and suffering are often reputed to be inexpressible through language, as Virginia Woolf and others in her wake argued, this project will show how literary writing offers a discursive space for their articulation and for their inscription as cultural and historical sensations and affects. Using close readings of works by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson, Henry and Alice James among others, Dr. Constantinesco will study various forms of pain and suffering, from labor injuries and war wounds to nervous disorders, feminine hysteria, psychological trauma, and grief, with a view to uncover how American literature engaged with the nation’s changing culture of pain in the 19th century. Between 1830 and the turn of the 20th century, the inaugural promise of an unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness quickly receded in the face of the suffering of black slaves and of the violent extermination of Indian populations, and the United States emerged from the Civil War as a “republic of suffering” whose agonies extended well beyond the end of Reconstruction. The social meaning of pain similarly transformed, as Christian narratives of redemption through suffering gave way to a more modern sensibility grounded in the avoidance of pain and strengthened by medical progress and legal advances, such as the invention of general anesthesia or tort law jurisprudence, even as sympathy continued to function as a privileged mode of national affiliation. Dr. Constantinesco will demonstrate how 19t

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'EuroNanoForum 2003' (2002-2006), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

EuroNanoForum 2003 (ENF 2003), the European and international nanotechnology Forum promoted by DG Research, Directorate G, distinguishes itself because of its integrated and interdisciplinary approach, as well as because of its  global relevance and scope. To achieve the integration characteristic, the program has been structured so to allow an  interchange of information, ideas, best practices and discussions not only among scientists, but also with business  people, investors, policymakers, educators, experts in communication and international co-operation.  The Forum will be the catalyst and facilitator event to set up relations and co-operative ties - on a global geographical  scale - between research, technology transfer institutions, larger companies and SMEs, to facilitate nanotechnology  development and to initiate a process leading to the identification of approaches, co-operation programmes, tools and  infrastructure facilities which will accelerate scientific development and innovation on the marketplace. Besides the  European-level objectives of DG Research, in line with those of the ERA, the international dimension and  the integrating character of the 6th Framework Programme, the expected outcome of EuroNanoForum 2003 will be to  help strengthen the supportive role of the Friuli Venezia Giulia and neighbouring regions as platform supporting  networks linking scientists, providers of business and entrepreneurial-support services, venture capital etc. which will  contribute to accelerate the advance of nanotechnology in Central and Eastern Europe. The Forum will thus help launch  the concept of an immaterial Hi-Tech Corridor" supporting economic development and investment in these regions.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Forced Labour in West Central and South Central Africa: an Afro-European colonial heritage in comparative perspective, 1930-1970' (2007-2013).

assistant: **Concept**

Forced labour is a typical phenomenon of 20th-century European colonial structures in sub-Saharan Africa. While having been abolished in most parts of colonial Africa after World War II, it has, as a particular heritage of the Afro-European encounter, been partly or fully re-instated in many African countries after the end of the colonial period. Moreover, the practice (or practices) of colonial forced labour did not only have a strong influence on economic realities in the countries concerned. They also shaped the social relations between local authorities and their subjects, as all the colonial regimes in sub-Saharan Africa strongly relied on local collaborators. Hence, the practice and the abolition of forced labour did not only affect the contact situations and mutual visions between African subjects and European rulers, but they also had a strong impact on local balances of power in which the European side was only marginally involved. While the practice of forced labour has been identified (and condemned) as a typical aspect of European domination in sub-Saharan Africa, there is an impressive lack of studies on local realities of repressive labour organisation. Our project intends to close this gap, focusing on a large but nonetheless particular region of West Central and South Central Africa. Our four case studies (from Angola, Zambia and Gabon) will describe processes between 1930 and the 1970s, and compare experiences that involve the decolonisation process and post-colonial redefinition of labour relations, with two Angolan cases in which the colonial power maintains its hold on the territory until 1974. The comparison entails archival work including both a territorial perspective and local case studies, and interview series that relate to the same local cases

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Technology, economic integration and social cohesion'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The project will provide insight into the impact of several important and interrelated developments on social cohesion and exclusion in the European Union.The issues that will be analyzed are: - Technological change as the single most important factor shaping the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of the fundamental economic factors influencing social cohesion, such as employment and economic growth; - Globalisation, broadly driven by technology (e.g. telematics) and by the liberalisation and deregulation of trade and capital flows. This globalisation trend leads to qualitative changes in the form and effects of the exposure of countries to foreign competition, not only in the form of trade, but also through increased foreign direct investment flows. Several working papers and a policy-oriented report will attempt to make a significant impact on public opinion" within the group of policy-makers and policy-analysts."

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Peer review and consumer rights: strengthening regulation as a means of improving quality and access to health care in Tanzania and Zimbabwe' (PEERCON).

assistant: **Concept**

Health systems regulation is crucial in improving health outcomes from private sector activity. Regulation is ineffective in low-income countries due to limited regulatory capacity and knowledge by patients of their rights. The research focuses on non-state groups who can influence the performance of private activity through less formal non-legislation approaches in Zimbabwe and Tanzania. The research implements a mutely-faceted consumer-peer controlled intervention trial, to strengthen regulatory effectiveness for private pharmacies and improve access to, quality and appropriate use of diarrhoeal drugs among poor women and their communities. Results include evidence on effectiveness, costs, cost-effectiveness, development of guidelines and strategies for replication, and indicators for monitoring of regulation in the broader health system.
