Guest professors

Chalmers is often visited by invited scientists. Guest professors are scientists who are invited by the president of Chalmers.

Guest professors at Chalmers since 2005

When Chalmers in 1979 celebrated 150 years, the government gave a Jubilee Professorship at Chalmers as a gift. The criteria to be met is that the holders will add Chalmers new skills and that the University's international relations will be strengthened. The chair can be divided into different time intervals during the year and held by different professors.
