Designate your gift

Chalmers draws on the endowment that formed the basis for becoming a foundation university in 1994—an endowment originally rooted in William Chalmers’ historic donation. Through active asset management and new contributions, the capital has grown to SEK 4.5 billion. Each year, the Chalmers Foundation allocates SEK 100 million from its returns to support the university’s research and education. This contribution is a vital part of Chalmers’ annual budget.

Your donation strengthens the endowment and supports Chalmers’ long-term goals. Donate directly below, or if your contribution exceeds SEK 100,000, please contact us at donations@chalmers.se.

Chalmers research is dedicated to finding sustainable solutions for a better future—for both people and the planet. We believe that the global challenges of tomorrow are best addressed through collaboration. At Chalmers, this means interdisciplinary research that transcends organizational and disciplinary boundaries.

Your donation supports research projects at Chalmers and contributes to independent, high-impact science. You can donate directly below, or if your contribution exceeds SEK 100,000, please contact us at donations@chalmers.se.

Chalmers offers world-class education in engineering, science, architecture, and maritime studies. Science and creativity go hand in hand, and students are encouraged to follow their passions. Delivering education at the highest level requires outstanding teachers and a top-tier learning environment.

Chalmers Entrepreneurial Fellowships

Chalmers Entrepreneurial Fellowship gives young researchers with innovative scientific results the opportunity to dedicate one year to technology application and product development, while also advancing the commercial potential of their ideas. Throughout the program, fellows gain access to world-class laboratories at Chalmers. Since the program covers costs related to salary, technology development, laboratory access, and intellectual property protection, participants are well-positioned to focus fully on refining their innovations.

In addition, each fellow receives tailored support to build their entrepreneurial skills and business acumen, helping them develop their innovation projects into viable ventures. This equips them with the capabilities to take on leadership roles in newly founded research-based companies and pursue more entrepreneurial career paths.

Camp Vera – more women in technology

Since Vera Sandberg graduated from Chalmers in 1917—becoming the first woman in Sweden to earn an engineering degree—much has changed. Today, no one is surprised to see women studying technology. Yet, we still see too few female applicants, particularly to programs in automation, mechatronics, electrical engineering, computer science, and information technology. This is despite the fact that industry leaders are explicitly calling for more women in these fields. It’s also a missed opportunity—for many—who otherwise could discover rewarding and creative careers in a broad and dynamic sector.

Through the Camp Vera initiative, Chalmers aims to inspire more young women to explore technical subjects and better understand the exciting career paths a technical education can offer. Each year, Chalmers invites 100 female high school students in their final year of science or technology programs to spend a weekend on campus. During the visit, they experience life as a Chalmers student and meet with current female students who share their journey. The participants take part in hands-on workshops, interact with female role models from the tech industry, and explore programming together with like-minded peers.

Interest in Camp Vera has been tremendous—so much so that we have more applicants than we can accommodate. Admission is based on a competition, where students qualify by completing a quiz and pitching an idea for an app. The cost of the program is approximately SEK 1 million per year, and we warmly welcome contributions from those who share our passion for gender equity in technology. Every donation—large or small—makes a difference. Donate directly here, or for contributions exceeding SEK 100,000, please contact us at donations@chalmers.se.

Master Teachers – strengthening STEM education at the source

Interest in future careers begins during school years, and subject teachers play a crucial role in sparking curiosity and guiding students forward. At Chalmers, there is a strong commitment—shared by both staff and students—to supporting schools in the teaching of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and technology. The Chalmers master’s programme Learning and Leadership leads to both an engineering and a teaching degree. In addition, Chalmers offers pedagogical training for alumni who wish to add teacher certification. Through these initiatives, we contribute skilled, enthusiastic upper secondary teachers—Chalmers engineers who also act as ambassadors for technical education and Chalmers itself.

Master Teachers – For Excellence in Education

Chalmers’ teacher education maintains the same high quality as its engineering programmes, as confirmed by external evaluations. A key factor behind this success is the integration of experienced secondary school teachers into the programme—our Master Teachers. These teachers participate in Chalmers’ teacher education part-time for three years, while continuing their regular teaching at their home schools. This exchange has proven mutually enriching. Chalmers students gain first-hand insights into classroom realities and benefit from the Master Teachers’ pedagogical expertise. At the same time, the Master Teachers experience significant professional development, which they bring back to their schools.

“Having a Master Teacher at Chalmers has been rewarding on many levels for Hulebäcksgymnasiet. The teacher gains broad professional development, which is then shared with the rest of the teaching team. It strengthens the entire department, especially in mathematics and physics.”– Jessica Reneland, Principal, Hulebäcksgymnasiet, Natural Science Programme.
