user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Application of Functionally Graded Materials to Extra-Large Structures'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Large engineering structures like turbines, bridges or industrial machinery are still manufactured by traditional processes such as forging, casting or by machining from solid blocks. These processes do not allow local control of material properties to achieve a specific function like anti-corrosion or hardness. To meet the functional specifications, engineers must operate within a limited range of design options, with high “buy-to-fly” ratios and long lead times. Unlike any other metal AM technology, wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) produces fully dense metallic structures with no porosity. WAAM is also unbeatable in terms of  production times, making it uniquely suited for large and functionally demanding engineering structures. In Grade2XL, we will demonstrate the potential of multi-material wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) for large scale structures. The high printing rate of WAAM, combined with the ability to control material properties down to the nanoscale, will allow us to build strong and durable engineering structures. Grade2XL will deliver multi-material products of superior quality and performance, cut lead times by up to 96% and enable massive cost savings for the maritime and energy industry, as well as for industrial machinery. These outputs will rapidly roll out to other sectors with similar key performance indicators and become an attractive investment opportunity for SMEs. This project will strengthen Europe’s capacity to drive manufacturing innovation globally and withstand growing competition from Asia.

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Uptake and intracellular transport of acidic fibroblast growth factor', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Fourth Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

Acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) is a potent inducer of proliferation and differentiation of a variety of cells. The activity of the growth factor is partly transduced into the cells by activation of the specific FGF receptor tyrosine kinase, but an increasing amount of evidence indicates that translocation of the growth factor into the cells and to the nucleus is also required. In the host laboratory a novel method has been developed to test if the growth factor has gained access to the cytosol. By engineering a farnesylation signal onto the C-terminus of the growth factor, it is possible to monitor translocation into cells, since the farnesylation reaction occurs only in the cytosol and nucleus. Transport into cells depends on specific FGF receptors. A number of mutations of such a receptor (FGFR-4) has been made and their abilit,v to support endocytosis and transport to the cytosol and nucleus will be studied.

assistant: **Concept**

SOILdarity is a three-year project aiming to enhance scientific excellence in soil science. The project fosters the cooperation between two internationally leading research-intensive institutions and FCiências.ID - Associação para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento de Ciências (FC.ID). FC.ID is a private non-profit association endowed with legal personality whose aim is to support and develop research and innovation activities of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (CIÊNCIAS). CIÊNCIAS is a key research centre in soil science in Portugal. Within the framework of the Twinning exercise the beneficiary is FC.ID while CIÊNCIAS will be a linked third party to FC.ID.Soil ecosystems in Portugal face considerable challenges in the medium and long run ranging from climate change and erosion to over exploitation dynamics. By developing SOILdarity, FC.ID and CIÊNCIAS aims at boosting its research and innovation capacity and improving its know-how in precision agriculture and sustainable soil management through the knowledge-transfer dynamics established with the internationally leading research-intensive partners, i.e. MIGAL and the University of Ghent. The project lays down a sound scientific strategy on how to integrate soil ecology with cutting-edge soil and crop sensors, modelling and system control technology for sustainable soil management. The project methodology intervenes on four complementary levels: a) transfer of knowledge to FC.ID/CIÊNCIAS on key research challenges; b) reinforcing FC.ID and CIÊNCIAS’ positioning in the EU research arena, seeking new alliances with top R&I organisations; c) skill and capacity building for a new generation of young researchers, who will constitute the main capital of the Portuguese University in the years to come; and d)

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Visible LIGHT Active PhotoCATalytic Concretes for Air pollution Treatment'.

assistant: **Concept**

The goal of Light2CAT is to develop new, highly efficient visible-light-activated titanium dioxide for inclusion in concretes to be used in structures across the whole of Europe to improve ambient air quality independent, for the first time, of local climate conditions. The need to improve air quality in European Countries has been identified as a major requirement to be achieved within the next decade in the effort to control climate change, a key Europe 2020 strategy, and to improve human health. Despite vigorous efforts to reduce levels of hazardous substances in the air, targets remain a challenge. One of the most valid sustainable technologies explored so far is photocatalytic concrete. This technology is proven to reduce the amount of hazardous air pollutants up to 80 % . It also imparts self-cleaning properties to built structures which has a secondary effect of reducing harsh cleaning chemicals entering the water systems. However, the titanium oxide based photocatalytic building materials are activated by ultraviolet light so, to date, such environmental benefits are limited to countries with a high incidence of sunlight. The concept of this project is to extend the use of photocatalytic concretes to the whole of Europe by developing materials that can also be activated by visible light .  The aim is to remove climate and seasonal considerations from the use of the materials and, through higher conversion efficiencies of the catalytic components, to reduce production costs facilitating further take up of the technology within existing markets. The results of the project are initially focused on use within the transport infrastructure where the greatest impact is expected. The consortium is well conceived to achieve the results, comprising research centres leadin

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Horizon 2020 proposal for the project 'Mobility of Volatiles in the Earth’s Mantle by Experimental and Numerical Technics'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Volatiles cycle plays a critical role in the humanity’s existence by defining the habitability conditions prevailing at the Earth’s surface. Mantle is a major actor of this cycle by hosting considerable proportions of carbon, and also hydrogen. Understanding the exchanges and fluxes of carbon (and water) between the upper mantle and exosphere remains a primary goal in the Earth sciences community, but critically prevented by the lack of fundamental constrains on the mobility and migration rates of volatile-bearing melts (i.e., CO2-H2O-bearing melts) that are important conveyors for the distribution of volatiles. Therefore, the aim of the MoVEMENT project is to combine fundamental constraints on the physical properties (density and viscosity) of volatile-bearing melts with complex modelling to gain a quantitative understanding of the deep volatile cycles and related geophysical processes inside the planet. The applicant will achieve these scientific breakthroughs by combining two novel approaches: first, he will capitalize on new experimental methods at synchrotron sources to acquire missing data on the density and viscosity of carbon-bearing melts at high pressure; second, he will integrate the novel data into rigorous and continuous computer models for the density and viscosity of volatile-bearing melts. The new models will allow predictions of the mobility of volatile-bearing melts in a range of pressure, temperature (20 GPa – 2500 °C ) and compositions, i.e. from carbonatites (CO2-rich melts) to basalts (SiO2-rich melts), that span the conditions for melts stabilized in the upper mantle. Specifically, the results will be applied to quantify volatile-mediated processes in the upper mantle, including the migration/ascent/emplacement of melts through the mantle, ultimat

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Engineering and commercialization of a smart camera with on-chip image processing for head- and eye-tracking in laboratory animals' (SMARTLABCAM), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Rodents have become very popular models of cognitive functions, such as perception, memory and decision-making. Understanding the neuronal substrates of these processes requires performing neurophysiological recordings in awake animals, engaged in complex behavioral tasks. This, in turn, calls for tracking in real-time the motor behavior of the animal, to relate it to the underlying brain activity. Custom, as well as commercial, solutions exist that allows tracking basic behaviors in rodents – e.g., the 2D position and orientation of an animal over the arena where he navigates. However, while carrying out the research of the ERC project LEARN2SEE, we realized that methods for 3D reconstruction of some key behavioral features (e.g., pose of the head and gaze direction) are not commercially available, and the custom solutions found in the literature lack generality and are hard to implement and replicate. This prompted us to develop innovative, minimally invasive and user-friendly solutions to head/eye tracking in rodents. Yet, we soon faced another challenge – in order to perform high-throughput experiments, by testing in parallel many subjects (one of the advantages of rodent models over larger laboratory animals), our head/eye trackers would need to be re-engineered to make them easily replicable for series production. Critically, this would also allow transforming them into commercial devices for the ever-growing market of neurophysiology laboratories that, especially in the field of vision science, are employing rodents as model organisms. Here, we present our plan to achieve this goal, by migrating the tracking algorithms we developed for the LEARN2SEE project to smart cameras, engineered for real-time, on-board processing of head/eye video streams. These cameras wi

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'The use of molecular genetic markers for the study of stock structure of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in the Mediterranean and adjacent seas'.

assistant: **Concept**

This project aims to substantiate the population structure of anchovy in the Mediterranean and the adjacent seas, by combining information derived from genetic markers coming from the non-coding portion of nuclear genome and the mitochondrial genome. The project builds on earlier work on RFLP analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation of anchovy, which revealed a population structure uncommonly complex for a marine species. In order to provide direct evidence about the causes of this pattern of population differentiation, in the context of the present project, more samples of adult individuals from critical areas will be examined, and the mtDNA analysis will be extended to premature stages (larvae). The RFLP haplotypes revealed in the previous study will be also analysed by sequencing the control region of mtDNA. Finally, the analysis will be extended in the nuclear genome by developing and applying highly polymorphic microsatellite markers. Results so far confirmed the relative genetic homogeneity of the Black Sea, especially if compared with Mediterranean, and sequence analysis confirmed the high degree of evolutionary divergence between haplotypes co-existing in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. An assay for the quick characterisation of the individuals regarding their mtDNA haplotype have been developed, which could facilitate future work for routine stock monitoring.During the first year of the project seven samples of adult animals were caught from areas which are of critical importance for understanding the population structure and dynamics of anchovy in the Mediterranean and adjacent seas: Black Sea (2), northern and southern Adriatic, south coast of Portugal, and Atlantic coast of Morocco. Three larval samples were collected from southern (Saronikos Gulf

user: Describe how 'EBiSC2 – A sustainable European Bank for induced pluripotent Stem Cells' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

EBiSC2 builds on the achievements of the European Bank for iPSCs (EBiSC1) in centralising existing capacities across Europe in a unique banking and distribution infrastructure for research use in response to the increasing demand for human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Significant progress towards this aim has been made by EBiSC1; further resources, however, are required to ensure self-sustainability. Key partners of EBiSC1 who have delivered major assets of the current bank, join efforts to establish EBiSC2 as self-sustainable, central bank. Based on a gap analysis of the EBiSC1 endeavours towards sustainability, and focussing on user demand, scientific excellence and productivity, EBiSC2 will deploy a business strategy for a sustainable, non-for-profit bank providing access to disease-relevant and quality-controlled iPSCs, along with comprehensive data and freedom to operate for academic and commercial use. To meet evolving requirements from industry and academia, the cell catalogue will be constantly enriched through on-demand generation of new iPSC lines, including gene-edited lines and isogenic controls, iPSC-derived and progenitor cells. EBiSC2 will distribute cell lines and develop a range of additional cell services (incl. screening panels of disease-relevant iPSC and control lines in ready-to-use-formats) to extend its offer, while reducing operational costs through state-of-the-art upscaling and automation enabling bulk production of standardised high-quality cells. Proof-of-concept studies performed jointly by academia and industry will demonstrate the reliability and robustness of the lines for disease modelling and screening and enrich the EBiSC2 catalogue with extensive data. To bundle resources, EBiSC2 focuses on collaboration with iPSC programme

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Development and clinical evaluation of an end-to-end Heart Failure management solution powered by predictive AI' (SignalHF).

assistant: **Innovation**

Heart failure is a serious chronic medical condition that impairs the heart’s ability to effectively pump blood. Globally, it has a prevalence of 64 million people. Heart failure patients often have to be hospitalised to manage symptoms exacerbation. These hospitalisations are preventable with data-based insights and tailored therapies. But no holistic data platform for heart failure patients exists today.Implicity is set to change this situation with its suite of data-driven insights for managing heart failure. Implicity already provides a heart failure remote monitoring platform with symptoms-based decompensation detection features. In this project, we are developing a second module that focuses on AI-based prediction of heart failure events based on cardiac implantable electronic devices’ data, combined with an end-to-end software suite managing alerts, treatments, patient engagement and workflow optimisation, enabling better care and decreasing the hospitalisation burden.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Fourth Framework proposal on 'Efficiency and fabricability improvements in silicon concentrating cells'.

assistant: **Concept**

Concentration photovoltaic is a clear way of reducing quite sensibly the cost of the PV electricity (EUCLIDES prospects -a concentrator prototype developed in JOULE II- are 3.08 ECU/Wp installed, with present technology). Opposite as in flat module systems, in concentration the cells are only a small a component of the system cost. In consequence the cost-efficiency trade-off is well different, and different for different levels of concentration, tending in all cases to favour higher efficiencies. This proposal jointly with additional R&D to be done in the concentrator sector, aims to achieving 2 ECUs/Wp (to be reached within the decade). The Commission goal of 1 ECU/Wp module cost represented installed costs higher but approaching the 2 ECUs/Wp. In consequence our proposal is in agreement with the cost Commission strategy The specific goals of this proposal are: (a) Optimizing the linear concentration cells. This means improving efficiency to 21%, with low or no cost increase in 30 suns linear concentration industrial cells (BP Solar) of 40 cm2. Alternatively, 20% in 48 cm2 cells. Higher concentrations will also be explored. The overall cheapest option, and any other one requested by market considerations (that might appear as an input to the project), will be adopted. (b) Industrializing point focus concentration cells in the range 80-100 suns with efficiencies above 22% (area around to 1 cm2, to be determined more precisely in the project), also using light confining cavities. For cost considerations these results must be obtained with non clean room technology. In order to achieve higher efficiency four issues will be investigated. (a) The careful study (experimental although with theoretical grounds) of the aspects associated to the series resistance. This involves

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Enhancing Damage detection and characterisation technologies for complex marine Structures under Extreme environmental conditions' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

The EU is a world leader in the generation of marine energy, with a capacity of 27.9MW for tidal energy and 12MW for wave energy installed in Europe since 2010 and an increasing horizon with up to 100MW as capacity for ocean energy for 2025. The structures aimed at generating this energy are subject to extreme operational and environmental conditions in the ocean; hence their monitoring maintenance strategies are very challenging. This typically requires structures that can be easily accessed by trained operators. However, such a technology increases costs not only of design and construction, but also maintenance. Autonomous structural health monitoring (SHM) systems constitute a viable option that can effectively substitute the dangerous presence of operators in routinary inspections. These systems will reduce monitoring costs while increasing maintenance accuracy and safety levels which will make the ocean energy production cheaper and more reliable.Various SHM modalities can be adopted to monitor marine structures. Ultrasonic guided-waves (UGW) stand out for their ability to detect and characterise damage signatures in complex structures. Nonetheless, the consideration of the added complexities of the extreme offshore environment is a fundamental problem that impedes the implementation of this technology on marine structures and hence it remains unsolved.EnDorSE will bring together a Fellow being expert in damage identification and a host institution carrying leading academic know-how in UGW interaction modelling in order to develop the next generation of robust and fast SHM systems for the detection and identification of damage in the ever-growing marine energy sector.The placement of the Fellow to Stratosphere will guarantee the practical implementation of the theo
