In a fast-changing world, what will be expected of Chalmers, and what will be demanded of us? Martin Nilsson Jacobi opens with an overview of where Chalmers stands on its strategic journey, before inviting Mats Persson on stage for a conversation about the expectations and demands Chalmers will face in the years ahead.

A panel then reflects on what they have heard: Julia Fredriksson, Teaching Fellow, Urban Design and Planning; Eva Olsson, Chair of the Faculty Senate; Pontus Ottosson, CEO, Chalmers Ventures; and a student representative from Chalmers Student Union.

The forum is held in English and is not streamed. Stay for coffee and mingling to continue the conversation.

About Forum Avancez

Forum Avancez is a new initiative by President Martin Nilsson Jacobi to strengthen the academic culture at Chalmers. It brings together staff and students from across the university to test ideas and perspectives against each other, on questions where the answers are not obvious. The forum tries out new formats in which both those on stage and those in the audience share ideas and perspectives.
