Equality efforts at Chalmers
Equality between women and men is a prerequisite for Chalmers to be a good place to work and study, and for us to develop as a technical university.
Equality is about attitudes and values but also about gender distribution and salaries. The equality effort at Chalmers is focused both on strategic questions and preventive work, but also on dealing with harassment and conflicts and on creating favourable conditions for a sustainable work environment.
Chalmers equality award
Each year, the equality award is awarded to students or employees at Chalmers university of technology whose efforts have promoted equality, diversity, and inclusion at Chalmers. The prize was established in 2022 and is presented at Chalmers annual academic ceremony.
Chalmers plan for equality
Chalmers is a technical university with a clear basic idea: to face complex, global societal challenges, together with other actors, for the common future of all people. To accomplish this Chalmers works with gender equality and equal opportunities in several ways.
For students
Safe at Chalmers
At Chalmers, you should feel safe, welcome, and respected. Together, we create the study environment at Chalmers—that is why we all need to contribute to an environment where everyone can thrive and develop. This means that our campuses should be free from discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, and abusive treatment. Such behavior is never okay – whether in the classroom, online, in a lab, at a party, or in other parts of the study environment and student life. Safe at Chalmers is your student resource for increasing knowledge of key areas such as discrimination, victimization, harassment, and sexual harassment. You can also receive support and advice on how to act or report a situation if something doesn't feel right. You can find information from the student union here: Safe on campus - Chalmers Studentkår
