The Volvo Foyer offers a smaller and more informal programme setting. Here, you can meet researchers up close, ask your own questions and join conversations about both Chalmers research and the campus of the future.
The programme is mainly in Swedish. Some sessions will be held in English; these are clearly indicated in the programme below.
100 Years of Campus Johanneberg
Time | Programme |
|---|---|
11.10–11.35 | 100 Years of Chalmers at Johanneberg – Past Johan Linton, architect, Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor in Theory and History of Architecture at Chalmers Join us on an architectural journey through Chalmers’ development in Gothenburg and discover the buildings, environments and visions that have shaped Johanneberg over the past hundred years. |
11.35–12.00 | 100 Years of Chalmers at Johanneberg – Now and in the Future Malin Dahlhielm, architect, partner and Design Director at Spacescape What makes a campus vibrant and attractive – and how can Johanneberg evolve as the ways we study, work and meet change? Malin Dahlhielm shares perspectives on today’s campus and the opportunities of the future. |
12.00– 14.25 | Time for coffee, mingling and exploring Alumni Day Take a break, meet other alumni and discover other parts of Alumni Day. |
14.25–14.30 | The Student Union 2040 – and the Road Ahead Chalmers Student Union What will student life look like in the future? The Student Union presents its vision for 2040, the development of the Student Union Building and other projects – and how alumni can be part of the future of Chalmers. |
14.45–15.00 | The Alumni Campus – What Would You Like to See More Of? Ida Gäskeby, Campus and Facilities Developer at Chalmersfastigheter; Stefan Forsaeus Nilsson, Campus Strategist at Chalmers; and a representative from Chalmers Student Union Ida Gäskeby and Stefan Forsaeus Nilsson work with the development of Chalmers’ campuses. Together with Chalmers Student Union, they invite alumni to an open conversation about the campus of the future. What do you think Chalmers should preserve, develop and create? Share your memories, experiences and ideas and contribute your own perspective. |
Researcher Rendezvous
Grab a coffee and meet some of Chalmers’ researchers to explore the questions shaping our future. Sit down at one of the small tables, ask your own questions and move between researchers during the session. The format is informal, personal and conversation-based.
Tid | Programme | Participants and content |
|---|---|---|
13.10–14.25 | AI Says So – But Is It True? | Baraa Khuder, Senior Lecturer in Communication and Language at Chalmers AI can provide an answer to almost any question – but how do we know when that answer can actually be trusted? A conversation about AI, evidence, science and critical thinking. |
Ask a Quantum Physicist – How Does a Quantum Computer Actually Work? | Anton Frisk Kockum, Senior Lecturer in Applied Quantum Physics at Chalmers What exactly is quantum technology? How does a quantum computer work – and why are researchers and companies around the world investing so heavily in the field? Here is your chance to ask a quantum physicist directly. | |
Restoring Motor Functions in People with Upper Limb Impairments (in English) | Michela Cattabriga, PhD student in Signal Processing and Biomedical Engineering at Chalmers, and Andrea Scarpellini, Chalmers How can robotic exoskeletons and signals from our own muscles help people with impaired arm and hand function regain movement and independence? | |
