user: Explain how 'Delegation of Power to International Organizations and Institutional Empowerment over Time' goes beyond current state-of-the-art under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Innovation**

In recent decades, there has been a steady increase in the number of international Organizations (IOs). At varying levels states have surrendered some authority to IOs, giving them different levels of institutional empowerment. While in the EU, IMF and World Bank there has been a steadily extension of their competences, in the GATT/WTO-Secretariat, NATO and WHO the degree of delegated authority has remained constant. How can we explain these different degrees of authority granted to IOs and their evolution over time? We argue that institutional empowerment is a function of temporal dynamics, the degree of cohesion among principals, and the institutional design of the delegation contract. On the theoretical side, the aim of the proposed interdisciplinary project is to produce theory-driven knowledge by developing a model of power delegation to IOs that integrates a temporal dimension into the principal-agent approach. This will be done by resorting to four different disciplines: political science, economics, law, and organizational sociology. On the empirical side, the main novelty of the project consists in adopting a comparative research design and a longitudinal perspective. We will analyse the institutional empowerment of six different IOs (EC/EU, GATT/WTO, IMF, WHO, UNESCO, and World Bank) over a period of 65 years (1950-2015). Given the aim and scope of this research, the project is to be regarded as theory-building and hypothesis-testing research. It will be based on extensive qualitative work conducted in the archives of these four IOs as well as on elite interviews with national and international officials. With this project we will gain new insights into the following fields: consequences of power delegation to IOs; temporal dimension of the interaction between

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Development of a natural coating based on shellac for eco-friendly packages in the food industry' to be submitted under Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Waste management and preservation of resources are one of the main challenges in Europe. It is the intention of this project to use the special properties of the natural resin shellac for the creation of new eco-friendly and biodegradable packaging materials mainly for the food sector. Nowadays, recycling of packackingmaterials is costly because they do not exist of natural materials. Alternatives like materials derived from starch are biodegradable but show only little stability. Hence, it is the intention of the project : To create a proper formulation with shellac as main component for coating or impregnation of packaging materials/To identify suitable other compounds for the formulation/To identify suitable substrate materials /To test the properties of the new packaging material (stability, harmlessness, residue analysis, biodegradability, etc.) and finally to create a new bridgeable packaging material originated completely from renewable resources.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Decoding Ancient Flames: Chemical Fingerprinting and Innovative Cleaning of Archaeological Soot Deposits' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Ancient soot accumulation on cultural artifacts poses critical conservation challenges while offering unprecedented insights into historical human activities. This interdisciplinary project combines cutting-edge conservation technology with novel archaeometry analysis to revolutionize both artifact preservation and archaeological understanding.We will develop a complementary non-contact cleaning technique integrating atomic oxygen plasma and laser cleaning to remove more than 90% of ancient soot while preserving artifact integrity. This green technology eliminates chemical solvents, addressing current limitations of traditional mechanical and wet cleaning methods that cause irreversible damage to sensitive ancient materials.Analysis of more than 20 diverse cultural artifacts using advanced analytical and spectroscopic techniques (GC-MS, FT-IR) will create the first comprehensive database of ancient soot chemical signatures across geographical locations and historical periods in ancient Egypt.Soot composition analysis will reconstruct daily life practices of ancient communities, including cooking methods, heating systems, fuel sources, and industrial activities. This novel approach bridges conservation science with historical research, generating new knowledge about technological advancement, diet, trade, and rituals of past societies.Selected artifacts from Egyptian civilization will undergo systematic investigation using optical/electron microscopy, chemical analysis, and radiocarbon dating. Real-time integration of cleaning techniques with chemical analysis will increase efficiency by 50% compared to current separate processes. The project will establish safety protocols exceeding current conservation standards. This proposal addresses urgent conservation needs while

user: Describe how 'Economic Consequences of Restrictions on the Usage of Cookies' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Cookies (or HTTP cookies) enable companies to collect and exchange extensive information about users. This information is often used to improve the performance of online advertising, which website publishers rely on in order to finance the free content to which their users have become accustomed. Yet, the collection of information leads to a loss of privacy. Accordingly, EU policy makers have put forward initiatives to restrict cookie usage (e.g., General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), upcoming EU ePrivacy Regulation). So far, there exists very little empirical knowledge on the trade-off between user privacy and the economic value that website publishers, advertisers, and even users derive from cookies. As a result, policy makers have no way of telling whether their restrictions on cookies have the intended positive consequences for user privacy, or whether any benefits are outweighed by negative effects on the profits of companieswhich policy makers also seek to nurture. This proposals vision is to eliminate the gap in knowledge regarding the economic consequences of restrictions on the usage of cookies. I propose four work packages, each outlining the economic consequences of a specific type of restriction. In WP1-3, I will analyze a proprietary and massive (60-65 TB) set of cookie data that includes 472 publishers, 842 advertisers, 2.8 billion cookies and the prices of >110 billion ad impressions, that indicate the value of cookies for companies. In WP4, I collect implementation data to analyze the steps taken by thousands of the worlds most highly-trafficked websites to become GDPR-compliant. My results will provide a crucial empirical foundation for cookie restrictions in an industry worth more than 10 billion per year in the EU. The required interdisciplinary

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'An innovative solution to tackle food waste through the collaborative power of ICT networks' in the context of a Horizon 2020 call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Food waste has received global attention as a major sustainability challenge, with significant implications for the economy, society and the environment. At the same time, it represents a global paradox: whilst a large amount of the food produced each year is wasted, there are huge numbers of people suffering from hunger. SavingFood offers a novel approach to tackle food waste by turning this environmental issue into an innovative solution to fight hunger. The project builds on the collaborative power of ICT networks and creates an online community of citizens, food waste stakeholders and policy makers that through knowledge creation and sharing they are empowered to take direct action and become part of the suggested food waste solution.Through the use of advanced open source tools connected to a social networking environment SavingFood facilitates the redistribution of surplus food to those in need, ensures that no food is wasted through lack of communication, supports the participation of people in organised as well as ad hoc events around food saving and encourages wide debate.Leveraging on the collaborative power of social networks and by activating the collective intelligence of citizens SavingFood seeks to create a social movement for tackling food waste and influence lifestyles towards a more sustainable future.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Uncovering the Transatlantic History of Turkey Husbandry and Breeding using a Multi-Disciplinary Approach'.

assistant: **Concept**

For 2000 years, turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) have been kept and raised by indigenous cultures in North and Central America. In the late 15C, European travellers 'discovered' turkeys and quickly introduced them to Europe and beyond. Their popularity has only increased over time, and in  both continents, turkeys are now the most commonly raised bird after chicken. Investigations into the emergence of turkey breeding are fundamental to understanding the evolving economic and symbolic relationships between humans and this iconic bird, as well as to provide historical challenges: first, the diversity of the specimens introduced in Europe (subspecies involved, geographic origin) is unknown; second, the diversity of morphologically similar birds raised in the same time (chicken, guinea fowl, peacock) hamper the recognition of early turkeys from America. This research project will pair the zooarchaeological and morphometrics expertise of the applicant, Aurélie Manin, with the biomolecular specialists in the BioArCh group at the University of York, UK, to document and explore turkey husbandry practices in Western Europe from 15C to 19C and its integration in pre-existing backyards. Using combined morphometric and biomolecular analyses this project will: 1) document the origins and intensity of turkey breeding in Europe; and 2) explore the changing socio-economic role of turkeys as they spread through modern Western Europe. Fundamentally, the results of this research will address both archaeological and food production issues by exploring the history of turkey husbandry and providing important data on the evolution of modern breeds, management practices and the resilience of modern poultry industry.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Protection from unfair suretyships in the European Union' (2002-2006).

assistant: **Concept**

This project aims at developing a new field of research: European surety ship law. The question of how and to what extent sureties need legal protection from the abuse of contractual power of credit institutions is a recently emerged issue, which has not yet been sufficiently studied in a comparative and supranational perspective. In the last two decades, some European countries became aware of the social problem of life-long indebtedness resulting from unfair surety ships and began to develop legal solutions. At present, the standard of protection of sureties in the Member States varies notably. If the provision about responsible lending contained in the Commission proposal for a new Consumer Credit Directive (2002) came into force, the standard of protection of sureties from unproportionate obligations would increase in all Member States. However, the responsible lending clause is highly controversial and the outcome of the legislator proceedings is uncertain. Nevertheless, apart from the existence of a specific Directive, surety ship agreements may be conflicting with EC law if they are detrimental to fundamental rights of EU citizens or clash with common European constitutional principles. The hypothesis of this project is that if all citizens of the European Union enjoy the same constitutional rights and principles, then the standard of legal protection against those surety ship agreements that are detrimental to some of these rights and principles must be the same. The main objective of this project is to assess, on the basis of a comparative analysis, in what cases surety ships are conflicting with EU fundamental rights and constitutional principles and how in these cases equality of protection standards can be reached in the Member States.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Innovative compatible discretization techniques for Partial Differential Equations' under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Concept**

Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are one of the most powerful mathematical modeling tool and their use spans from life science to engineering and physics. In abstract terms, PDEs describe the distribution of a field on a physical domain. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is by large the most popular technique for the computer-based simulation of PDEs and hinges on the assumption that the discretized domain and field are represented both by means of piecewise polynomials. Such an isoparametric feature is at the very core of FEM. However, CAD software, used in industry for geometric modeling, typically describes physical domains by means of Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) and the interface of CAD output with FEM calls for expensive re-meshing methods that result in approximate representation of domains. This project aims at developing isoparametric techniques based on NURBS for simulating PDEs arising in electromagnetics, fluid dynamics and elasticity. We will consider discretization schemes that are compatible in the sense that the discretized models embody conservation principles of the underlying physical phenomenon (e.g. charge in electromagnetism, mass and momentum in fluid motion and elasticity). The key benefits of NURBS-based methods are: exact representation of the physical domain, direct use of the CAD output, a substantial increase of the accuracy-to-computational-effort ratio. NURBS schemes start appearing in the Engineering literature and preliminary results show that they hold great promises. However, their understanding is still in infancy and sound mathematical groundings are crucial to quantitatively assess the performance of NURBS techniques and to design new effective computational schemes. Our research will combine competencies in different f

user: Compose a compelling abstract for 'Cognitive Vision Systems' demonstrating excellence, impact and implementation quality for a Fifth Framework call.

assistant: **Abstract**

Computer Vision has gradually become an enabling technology for a range of applications involving in particular inspection and recovery of 3D models. The problem of recognition and categorisation of general sets of objects has posed to be a significant challenge. This proposal addresses the problem of recognition, categorisation, scene interpretation and learning in the context of an embodied system to demonstrate that through careful consideration of spatio-temporal context, task constraints, embodiment, and representation it is indeed possible to provide the methods needed for the demonstrating the basic functionalities of cognitive vision in the context of realistic problems.Objectives:The objective of this project is to provide the methods and techniques that enable construction of vision systems that can perform task oriented categorisation and recognition of objects and events in the context of an embodied agent. The functionality will enable construction of mobile agents that can interpret the action of humans and interact with the environment for tasks such as fetch and delivery of objects in a realistic domestic setting.Work description:Cognitive vision systems include facilities for understanding", "knowing" and "learning". Understanding here involves both recognition/categorisation of objects and events, through association of semantic labels with data from the scene. Interpretation does, however, also involve interpretation and reasoning to enable construction of rich semantic models of the environment. Knowing implicitly specifies a need to consider memory as a common basis for representation and maintenance of information, including methods for associate access. Systems with a realistic complexity cannot be engineered. There is consequently a need for meth
