The Łukasiewicz research team – Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals under the supervision of Dr Aleksandra Kolano-Burian was nominated for the Polish Intelligent Development Award 2021 in the category of Innovative Technologies and Future Research. The researcher was awarded for the implementation of the project “Modern technologies for the production of functional magnetic materials for electro-mobile and medical applications”.

New technologies will concern the production of magnetic materials in the form of cores for passive components, nanocrystalline stators and printed magnetic materials with shape memory. The new products will include low-loss transformers and inductors as well as PM BLDC motors with a nanocrystalline stator.

For 6 years now, the Polish Intelligent Development Award has been received by innovators and investors, people and organizations whose way of acting and thinking is affecting now the intelligent and sustainable development of society and the economy or will affect in the future.
