Equality

Chalmers’ fundamental values – quality, openness, inclusion, respect, diversity – must underpin everything we do, from Chalmers student associations to research partnerships with external partners.

Climate strategy and framework

Chalmers’ climate strategy is based on the Climate Framework for Swedish Higher Education and breaks down into the seven sub-areas where we have the greatest ability to have real impact and make a difference. We have drawn up strategies and objectives for each sub-area corresponding to the UN’s global sustainability goals and Agenda 2030.

This is what guides us

Here, you can read about the approaches that guide Chalmers. Our aim is for you who study, work and collaborate with Chalmers to experience these approaches, contributing to them in your work and study settings and in all their interactions with the university.

How Chalmers is steered

Chalmers has been a private university since 1994, with a foundation as the controlling enterprise. The University has, compared to other institutions for higher education in Sweden, a unique closeness to industry and society with opportunities to create joint ventures with external partners. 

How Chalmers is run

General policy documents

Safe at Chalmers

Safe at Chalmers is where you as an student can learn more about what harassment and sexual harassment are, and report if you have experienced unwanted behavior or witnessed it.
Whether you are a student or a visitor, you should feel safe on our campuses. We are each other’s study and work environment and together we are responsible for creating a higher education institution that we both are proud of and feel safe in. Our campuses should be free from harassment and discrimination. All of us need to contribute to make that happen.
