user: Draft an impact statement for 'Controlling Chronic Diseases related to Metabolic Disorders', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

The aim of METABO is to set up a comprehensive platform, running both in clinical settings and in every-day life environments,  for continuous and multi-parametric monitoring of the metabolic status in patients with, or at risk of, diabetes and associated metabolic disorders.The type of parameters that will be monitored, in addition to traditional  clinical and biomedical parameters, will also include subcutaneous glucose concentration, dietary habits, physical activity and energy expenditure, effects of ongoing treatments, and autonomic reactions.The data produced by METABO will be integrated with the clinical data and the history of the patient and will be used in two major interrelated contexts of care:1.\tSetting up a dynamic model of the metabolic behavior of the individual to predict the influence and relative impact of specific treatments and of single parameters on glucose level.2.\tBuilding personalized care plans integrated in the current clinical processes linking the different actors in primary and secondary care and improving the active role of the Patient.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Policy Evaluation of a Pregnancy Benefit as a Novel Form of Family Policy in the EU', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

The proposed action contributes to tackling of a pressing challenge faced by the EU, which is finding new birth policies that would be effective in countering demographic decline. It does so by evaluating the impact of a new type of family policy (pregnancy benefit) on fertility behaviour (births and abortions) and on child health at birth. This is a unique research opportunity as pregnancy benefits are very rare. The evaluation will be conducted using high-quality, population-wide, administrative microdata and state-of-the-art microeconometric models.The project is inherently interdisciplinary, as it connects economics with demography, public policy, sociology, and women’s reproductive rights. The action includes intersectoral transfer of knowledge. First, the secondment institution conducts policy-relevant research tailored for the needs of the government and other public bodies. Second, the non-academic placement will occur in an NGO promoting gender equality and women's rights.The novelty of this research is threefold. First, it evaluates the impact of a novel prenatal cash transfer on fertility (as opposed to traditional postnatal policies). Second, it contributes to understanding of abortion-seeking behaviour (which is rarely done). Third, it evaluates the impact of an earmarked, non-means-tested transfer, on child health at birth (which has not been done previously).The proposed policy evaluation is important in the context of:[1] tackling demographic decline in the EU – a threat to long-term sustainability of public finances;[2] supporting cost-effective policy-making – evaluating effectiveness of costly family policies and choosing the best ones is useful for the tax-payer;[3] fostering gender equality – the evaluated anti-abortion policy is not restricting wom

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Controllable Magnetic Cores for Transformers and Electrical Machines' (SMARTMAG) under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Objectives**

Ferromagnetic cores are used in transformers and electrical machines to allow producing a large magnetic flux with a small electric current. These cores have been traditionally designed for guiding a predefined magnetic flux to a predefined location, leaving them uninvolved with the actual control of the energy conversion process. As the consequence, there are millions of power and distribution transformers and variable-speed electrical motors in the EU alone whose performance, compactness and robustness are limited due to need of complex mechanical arrangements or excessive current and voltage requirements.SMARTMAG will advance the transition towards active and smart magnetics, where the magnetic cores themselves take a key role in controlling the magnitude and distribution of magnetic fields in transformers and electrical machines. Starting from the fundamental principles of varying the reluctance of ferromagnetic flux paths by direct current biasing and voltage-controlled magnetoelectric composites, we will demonstrate unprecedented methods for tuning three-phase transformers and synchronous motors during the operation, significantly improving their performance and simplifying their construction compared to existing solutions. We have identified four scientifically novel and industrially relevant target applications – two transformers and two electrical machines – whose conceptualization, design, manufacturing and validation form the overarching goal of the project. Our three objectives aim to push the relevant nonlinear and multiphysics material models beyond the state-of-the-art, implement them in customized numerical design tools for transformers and electrical machines and to validate the feasibility of the four concepts by working prototypes in laboratory condit

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Corporate governance, performance pressure and product innovation in European-based companies: a comparative study' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Innovation**

'Corporate governance' is here understood as the system by which companies are controlled, directed and made accountable to shareholders and other stakeholders; 'control' is understood as including indirect influences of financial markets. This project will investigate the impact of corporate governance factors on the process of product innovation, and its outcomes, in established European companies.Its objectives are:- to explore what corporate governance regimes are highly conducive to successful product innovation in the specific circumstances of each firm, sector and country;- to understand what legal and other measures at national and EU level are appropriate to encourage the development - or continuation - of such regimes, and which should be avoided and;- to show company management, shareholders and other stakeholders what they can do to help develop a corporate governance regime suitable to their circumstances. The study will be comparative by country (Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK) and by sector, and is based firmly on the past and present experience of the applicants. It is expected that it will be linked with parallel studies in Japan, Korea, the United States, Canada and Australia (countries all involved in a prior project).It will proceed by:- exploring, for a number of industries and firms in each participating country the various factors which make up the corporate governance regime, and the pressures which they put upon firms' top managers;- assessing the performance in product innovation of the firms and industries selected in each participating country, in terms of all available performance data;- investigating, through questionnaires and case studies, the effects of the corporate governance regime, and the pressur

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Fundamental, topological and modular models for circuit QED'.

assistant: **Concept**

Superconducting circuits have become a leading platform for quantum computation and simulation due to their scalability and the precise control provided by Josephson junctions (JJs), their fundamental nonlinear element. Despite significant progress, several fundamental questions about their theoretical modelling remain unresolved, including how to accurately describe their behaviour across different energy scales. In particular, key issues involve understanding the spectra of quantum macroscopic circuit variables (e.g. the flux difference across a JJ), and the relationship between classical and quantum dynamics in long-distance superconducting networks. Resolving these open questions is crucial for understanding quantum many-body phenomena and for the design of distributed chiral networks.The FTMcQED project will address these challenges by focusing on two main areas. First, I will tackle the long-standing debate over extended vs. compact variable descriptions of flux and charge variables in superconducting circuits and explore its implications for many-body quantum systems (e.g., dissipative quantum phase transitions). This involves developing a geometrically and topologically consistent quantisation method to derive canonical quantum Hamiltonians for superconducting circuits, while properly accounting for parasitic effects. Second, I will construct modular, effective models for nonreciprocal, dissipative superconducting networks (e.g., waveguide QED) using electrical engineering techniques.To achieve these objectives, I will employ a combination of advanced analytical and numerical methods, enabling a systematic investigation of collective topological effects in both discrete and continuous models. This project aims to contribute to the fundamental understanding and d

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Popular Sovereignty vs. the Rule of Law? Defining the Limits of Direct Democracy' (LIDD).

assistant: **Innovation**

Should the people be allowed to vote on the adoption of immigration restrictions that violate international law? Should it be permissible to launch a citizens’ initiative demanding the reintroduction of the death penalty? May a proposal be put to a popular vote despite the fact that voters are not properly informed about its effects? With the mushrooming of direct-democratic instruments throughout Europe and the introduction of the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), the relationship between popular sovereignty and the rule of law is set to become one of the defining political issues of our time. Yet despite their great practical relevance, the questions of where the legal limits of direct democracy should be drawn and how compliance with these limits should be reviewed have remained almost completely unexplored. This leaves a major gap in the research that has serious repercussions for the functionality and legitimacy of direct democracy.It is the ambitious objective of LIDD to provide the scientific basis for resolving this urgent challenge. By innovatively combining comparative legal analysis with both qualitative and quantitative methods from other social sciences, the project builds on the experience made with various direct-democratic mechanisms in order to develop general conclusions. Part 1 of LIDD distils a core of issues that is regarded as being beyond the reach of direct democracy across all European states and elaborates best practices that will help states define and apply the limits of direct democracy in a sensible way. Part 2 identifies common European minimum standards that institutional and procedural systems for reviewing compliance with these limits must satisfy and makes suggestions for improving these systems. Part 3 applies the findings from Par

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Smart Integrated system for Reliable Parking information, search and guidance.'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Hi-Park Solutions is a disruptive SME whose mission is to revolutionize the market of urban parking by delivering a smart application to help drivers find a free on-street parking space while improving urban life across the Smart City concept. Our Sir-Park’s patented application crowdsources on-street parking vacancy data automatically via either driver’s smartphone or embedded in the vehicle’s infotainment system. Its concept combines both, a reliable and precise real time parking location, and the powers of processing and learning on historic and statistical data observed over time. Sir-Park checks regulations and other street data such as garage entries, loading-downloading, etc. as well as the space physical dimensions, giving drivers a reliable probability of finding a valid vacant on-street parking space over the next minutes on a certain street section. Drivers will find value in Sir-Park a smart integrated and reliable app that will help them reduce up to 50% of the average time to park, while first screening their chances of finding free on-street parking and guiding them to the most promising route, and secondly, offering paid parking alternatives. Municipalities, Telecom and Big Data companies will find valuable source of data in a system that crowd sources street image into valuable parking availability information and user mobility patterns. To date, we have conducted a preliminary pilot in Tel Aviv, Israel, validating the application. We are now preparing for scaled-up demonstrations across major European cities. Our aim is to develop a Smart parking application that will reach 300.000 end users by 2018 across 3 major European cities.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'reDucing the health and Economic COst of Diagnostic uncErtainty: establishing potential applications of BV™ and its composite biomarkers in COVID-19 detection and patient management' (DECODE).

assistant: **Concept**

Problem: Clinicians routinely face diagnostic uncertainty because acute infections are often clinically indistinguishable and today’s diagnostics have constraints. This uncertainty leads to inappropriate patient management, including antimicrobial misuse and avoidable hospitalization. The associated health economic burden are inferior patient outcomes, elevated costs, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the top 10 threats to global health. Potential solution: In many instances, the clinician only needs to know with confidence if the infection is bacterial or viral to decide how to manage a patient suspected to have an acute infection. We have developed and validated MeMed BV™ - a pioneering test for distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections that decodes the body’s immune response to infection. BV™ has been both double-blind and externally validated in clinical studies enrolling thousands of patients and demonstrated superiority to biomarkers in routine use. Concurrently, we have developed Key™, an easy-to-use POC platform that runs BV™ in 15 minutes. To establish potential applications of BV™ and its composite biomarkers in managing COVID-19 patients, the following objectives are proposed: 1. To deploy BV™/Key™ at hospitals in Israel, Germany and Italy that are managing COVID-19 patients.2. To collect real world evidence to support the performance of BV™ in identifying early viral infection and predicting/monitoring disease severity of COVID-19 disease.3. To mature the BV™/Key™ system based on lessons learned during deployment.Impact: Fulfilment of Objectives 1 and 2 will pave the way to full EU commercialization of the BV™ biomarkers as an aid in COVD-19 patient management. Obtainment of Objective 3 will mature the BV™/Key™ system in readiness for a

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Distributed Synthesis: from Single to Multiple Agents'.

assistant: **Concept**

Computing is changing from living on our desktops and in dedicated devices to being everywhere. In phones, sensors, appliances, and robots – computers (from now on devices) are everywhere and affecting all aspects of our lives. The techniques to make them safe and reliable are investigated and are starting to emerge and consolidate. However, these techniques enable devices to work in isolation or co-exist. We currently do not have techniques that enable development of real autonomous collaboration between devices. Such techniques will revolutionize all usage of devices and, as consequence, our lives. Manufacturing, supply chain, transportation, infrastructures, and earth- and space exploration would all transform using techniques that enable development of collaborating devices. When considering isolated (and co-existing) devices, reactive synthesis – automatic production of plans from high level specification – is emerging as a viable tool for the development of robots and reactive software. This is especially important in the context of safety-critical systems, where assurances are required and systems need to have guarantees on performance. The techniques that are developed today to support robust, assured, reliable, and adaptive devices rely on a major change in focus of reactive synthesis. The revolution of correct-by-construction systems from specifications is occurring and is being pushed forward.However, to take this approach forward to work also for real collaboration between devices the theoretical frameworks that will enable distributed synthesis are required. Such foundations will enable the correct-by-construction revolution to unleash its potential and allow a multiplicative increase of utility by cooperative computation. d-SynMA will take distributed synt
