Support Chalmers in to the future

With his donation, William Chalmers laid the foundation for what is today Chalmers University of Technology. Two centuries later, his vision continues to inspire. Your contribution could become the next pivotal chapter. Join us in building the Chalmers of the future.

Ever since William Chalmers’ donation nearly 200 years ago, there has been a strong tradition of social commitment and philanthropy that we continue to build upon. Back then, there was a need for an crafts school—today, the world needs groundbreaking technological innovations, rooted in research and education, to meet the global challenges we face.

A Message from the President of Chalmers University of Technology:

“Chalmers has a proud tradition of always striving forward and choosing its own path. As a foundation university, we have a special responsibility to lead the way and challenge established systems. Our culture—pragmatic and open rather than hierarchical and formal—is central to our success. We operate in close collaboration with partners, both regionally and globally.

Our vision—to evolve into a world-class university by the early 2040s—is ambitious, and we are confident that Chalmers has the right conditions to make the significant journey required to achieve this goal. With the support of donors and other investors, we can take a leading position and become the first choice in several fields for students, researchers, and collaborative partners.”
