Partners
GENIUS partners come from 3 European countries.
Jožef Stefan Institute
JSI, Slovenia
Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI), Slovenia, is the leading Slovenian scientific research institute, covering a broad spectrum of basic and applied research. The Department for Nanostructured Materials combines various fields, from materials processing to thorough characterisation. Regarding magnetic characterisation, the department is equipped with a high-temperature vibrating-sample magnetometer and a unique 400 °C permeameter, ideal for the project’s aims. Furthermore, the department has facilities for small-to-medium scale production of magnetic powders based on conventional ball milling, high-energy milling and hydrothermal synthesis, equipment for preparation of AM feedstock and several AM machines, and SPS, RAS and conventional sintering infrastructure.

Project Lead petra.jenus.belec@ijs.siSpanish National Research Council
CSIC, Spain
Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Institut for Ceramic and Glass, ICV, Spain: The Ceramic for Smart System Group of ICV possesses large experience in processing of functional ceramics. The group, through Dr. Adrian Quesada, already has experience in the coordination of European projects with successful exploitation of its results. ICV has experience in the synthesis, processing and characterization of ferrite-based materials. In addition, our expertise in ceramic processing will contribute to the tasks of homogenizing, conditioning, compacting and densifying the magnetic materials. We are also proficient in the advanced characterization of magnetic materials. During the previous AMPHIBIAN project, we gathered significant expertise in successfully implementing exploitation, dissemination and communication activities.

UNG, Slovenia
Material Research Laboratory is a research unit with state-of-the-art equipment and diverse expertise of the team members ranging from synthetic and crystal chemistry, functional materials, surface science, theoretical and computational chemistry and other. Their unique combination of state-of-the-art equipment (e.g. SEM equipped with Kammrath & Weiss heating stage) and expertise in electron microscopy characterisation make MRL an indispensable partner in this project.
Blaž Belec, PhD
WP2 leader blaz.belec@ung.siUppsala Universitet
UU, Sweden
Uppsala University is a renowned University conducting world-leading research and education. The department of Electrical Engineering has long-time experience in research on electrical machines through advanced multi-physics simulations, modelling and extensive experimental facilities. Sandra Eriksson is professor with focus on permanent magnet electrical machines and her research group specializes in substitution of REE magnets in electrical machines, alternative magnet material and advanced modelling of permanent magnets.

KOL, Slovenia
Kolektor Mobility has a long tradition and experience in the field of development and production of mobility components and systems, which places them among the most reliable global providers of integrated automotive industry solutions. They are led by responsibility towards the environment and the principles of sustainable development from the conceptual designs of our products. At the same time, Kolektor Mobility proactively responds to the megatrends of electrification of vehicle propulsion, autonomous driving and interconnectivity in the car. They develop and supply all the key components for most of the cars that make our everyday life on the road easier. In GENIUS, Kolektor Mobility will be an injection moulded scrap supplier and will be active in the development and optimization of recycling strategies. They will also be involved in the formation of filaments for FF AM, life cycle analysis, exploitation and commercialization.
