ULTIMATE-I (2021-2026) directly targets magneto-thermal transport, spin Seebeck effect, and spin Hall effect as the basis for ultra-thin sensor development.
SENZOR INFIZ DOO
Belgrade sensor technology company specialising in spintronic thin-film magneto-thermal sensing devices through EU-funded nanotechnology research.
Their core work
SENZOR INFIZ DOO is a Belgrade-based private company working in advanced sensor technology and spintronic materials research. Their core technical work involves oxide thin-film fabrication and the exploitation of spin-dependent thermal transport phenomena — specifically the spin Seebeck and spin Hall effects — to develop ultra-thin magneto-thermal sensors. The company name itself signals their commercial orientation: "senzor" (sensor in Serbian) reflects a focus on translating nanoscale physics into functioning sensing devices. They participate in high-level EU fundamental research programmes, suggesting they bridge laboratory-scale materials science and practical sensor system development.
What they specialise in
DAFNEOX (2015-2019) focused on integrating nano-elements into oxide thin films, and ULTIMATE-I builds on thin-film architectures for sensor fabrication.
ULTIMATE-I keywords explicitly include 'nanotechnology device applications in sensing system', indicating a move toward device-level implementation.
ULTIMATE-I lists spin orbit coupling and structure related properties as focal keywords, suggesting materials characterisation expertise feeding into device design.
How they've shifted over time
Their first project, DAFNEOX (2015-2019), addressed a broad materials science question — how to engineer functional properties in oxide thin films by controlling nano-element integration — with no device-specific keywords recorded. The shift to ULTIMATE-I (2021-2026) is sharp and deliberate: the focus narrows to spintronic phenomena (spin Seebeck, spin Hall, spin-orbit coupling) and their direct application in magneto-thermal sensing devices. The trajectory moves from fundamental materials design toward applied sensor engineering, with nanotechnology device applications now explicitly named as a target outcome.
SENZOR INFIZ is moving from broad nanomaterials research toward a defined specialisation in spin-caloritronic sensor devices, suggesting future collaboration opportunities in magnetic field sensing, thermal gradient detection, and thin-film transducer development.
How they like to work
SENZOR INFIZ has participated in two projects without ever taking the coordinator role, indicating they function as a specialist technical contributor within larger research consortia rather than as a project driver. Both participations are under MSCA-RISE — a mobility-based scheme — which means their involvement likely centres on researcher exchange and knowledge transfer rather than leading work packages. With 18 unique partners across 11 countries from just two projects, they maintain a wide collaborative network for their size, suggesting openness to diverse consortium configurations.
Their network spans 18 consortium partners across 11 countries, a notably broad reach for an organisation with only two projects. MSCA-RISE consortia typically draw partners from both EU member states and associated or third countries, so their 11-country footprint likely includes partners beyond Western Europe.
What sets them apart
SENZOR INFIZ is one of very few Serbian private companies active in spintronics-based sensor research at the EU framework level, giving them a rare position as an industry-linked node in a field dominated by universities and public research institutes. Their combination of thin-film materials expertise and explicit device-application orientation means they can connect fundamental spin-physics research to sensor product development — a translation step many purely academic partners cannot provide. For consortium builders targeting the Western Balkans or needing an industry voice in spintronics or nanosensor projects, they are a distinctive choice.
Highlights from their portfolio
- ULTIMATE-IThe largest funded project (EUR 124,200) and the clearest expression of their current specialisation, targeting ultra-thin magneto-thermal sensors through spintronic principles — a technically specific and commercially relevant output area still running through 2026.
- DAFNEOXTheir entry into EU research (2015), establishing thin-film oxide nanotechnology credentials that later anchored their spintronics work, and notable as the foundation project despite the lower budget of EUR 45,000.
