We are standing on the threshold of radical changes in European and global energy systems. Chalmers’ energy-related research is at the heart of both the challenges and the opportunities presented to industry and society by these changes. Conducting world class energy technology and system research is fundamental within the Energy Area of Advance. Special strengths are the close cooperation between different energy technology and system areas as well as the development of internationally acclaimed energy system models.

The Energy Area of Advance is the largest single Area of Advance at Chalmers and covers all the important elements of basic science, energy technology and system research as well as connections to economy and social sciences. 
 
 

Our vision is to further strengthen our position as an internationally leading university with regards to the future sustainable energy system, with high relevance to industry and society.

 
The large strategic research programme Chalmers Energy Initiative is an important part of the research activities within the Energy Area of Advance.
