“The pursuit of new knowledge and improved technology has characterized Chalmers University since its foundation in 1829. It is now one of the two largest institutes of technology in Sweden and aims to stay at the forefront of international scientific development.

Close cooperation in research is carried out with universities, institutes of technology and other research centers throughout the world. A very important element is the exchange program for visiting scientists. Chalmers is also closely tied to Swedish industry. The University is involved in approximately 150 industrial and educational projects within the EU. Chalmers makes every effort to attract motivated students. As part of the recruitment activities, Chalmers researchers pay visits to schools. Open house programs and scientific lectures for the public are arranged. Around 10,200 people work and study at Chalmers, including more than 8,000 undergraduates. Chalmers’ turnover is approximately SEK 1.7 billion per year, more than two-thirds of which is related to research.
