Chalmers turns 200 years in 2029. Two centuries of knowledge, development and people that shape the future.

When Chalmers was founded, education was far from accessible to everyone. The founding of the university was driven by a belief in the power of education and its importance to society. That belief lives on today, thanks to thousands of students and alumni around the world, cutting-edge research, and a vibrant student life that reaches far beyond the lecture halls.
Over the past 200 years, the world has changed in ways few could have foreseen. But the ambition to contribute to the development of society through knowledge and education remains unchanged.
In 2029, the Chalmers community, including students, staff, alumni and partners, will come together to celebrate our history, our sense of community and everything that lies ahead.
How can we celebrate in the best possible way?
Chalmers is about more than education and research. It is also home to a vibrant student life, a strong sense of community and people who take their knowledge and experiences out into the wider world.
As we mark our 200th anniversary, we want to celebrate everything that makes Chalmers what it is.
Throughout 2029, we are planning a year-long anniversary celebration. Preparations are already underway, and we look forward to creating a celebration together that reflects our history, our community and our ambitions for the future.
Help shape the celebrations
An anniversary that brings the entire Chalmers community together should also embrace the memories, ideas and perspectives of everyone with a connection to Chalmers.
Over the coming year, we will therefore invite students, staff, alumni and others in the Chalmers community to contribute stories, photographs and ideas for the anniversary celebrations.
