Chalmers University of Technology is a multifaceted academic and postgraduate university that conducts research and education across a wide front within the areas of technology, natural science and architecture. Our driving force is inspired by the joy of discovery and the desire for learning. Behind all that Chalmers accomplishes, the hope persists for participating in sustainable development - both nationally and globally.
Our research deals in the foremost with improving opportunities for humanity, and we frequently advance ourselves beyond traditional boundaries in order to solve the problems that will face us in the future. Chalmers has grown substantially within many scientific fields, and portions of our research are internationally forerunning. In the areas of bioscience, information technology, environmental science and nanotechnology, we are resolved to especially pursue the developing and strengthening of research.
Chalmers is a pioneer in Europe within the area of seed commercialization, and we have constructed a smoothly-functioning innovation system that facilitates our goal of converting applications within research into successful new businesses.
Chalmers strives formidably to constantly develop by means of opening doors to the outside world and encouraging innovative thinking. We maintain close and fruitful cooperative relationships with the business sector and society in general. Through these efforts, we strengthen our own development, and, at the same time, we contribute to the growth of society.
Chalmers was founded in 1829 as the result of a donation from the Director of the Swedish East India Company, William Chalmers. His forwardly optimistic motto, which remains ours today, is: "Avancez!"

"One Chalmers – two campuses with internationally sought after research and teaching environments" is the new vision for development of the Chalmers campus environment.
Chalmers is located on two campuses in the city of Göteborg. Five minutes walk from Götaplatsen is Johanneberg campus, and in the middle of the expansive Norra Älvstranden (north of the river) is Lindholmen campus with e.g. the IT University and Department of Maritime Studies.
What is more, Chalmers conducts research at Onsala Space Observatory 45 km south of Göteborg and at the Lundberg Laboratory on Medicinareberget in Göteborg.
Chalmersfastigheter's business is administering, rebuilding and extending premises and properties for Chalmers. Its main task is to create attractive, competitive campuses which are fit for purpose, and where every square metre is intended to engender a feeling of a world-class campus. The work has also focused on renting out premises to clients who see an added value in working in a creative and inspiring campus environment.
We believe in an environment that produces creative encounters between researchers, students and the business world. An environment to feel proud of. An environment in which to develop and feel happy.
