With the future of energy in focus, the Master Thesis Fair – Energy 2025 brought together students and leading companies for a day filled with inspiration, collaboration, and new opportunities. Held on 6 October at Chalmers Student Union building, in the Volvo foyer, the event made it clear how curiosity and cooperation can drive the green transition forward.
What a day for energy innovation at Chalmers!
The third edition of Master Thesis Fair – Energy 2025 brought together master’s students from across Architecture and Civil, Electrical, Computer, Software, Chemical, Mechanical, Physics, and Industrial Engineering with leading industry partners including ABB, Göteborg Energi, DNV, Omexom, Solvina, Volvo Car Corporation, Bengt Dahlgren Göteborg, and Sveriges Ingenjörer.
The fair was organised by Chalmers Area of Advance: Energy, Chalmers Studentkår Promotion, and The Gothenburg Region. The event created a vibrant meeting place where ideas, curiosity, and collaboration powered the discussions. In an informal and open setting, students met company representatives, explored possible thesis projects, and exchanged insights on the energy challenges that lie ahead.
“Events like this mean a lot to students who are about to take their next step towards working life. It gives them a chance to get a concrete picture of the opportunities that exist and to talk directly with people in the industry. Many find it valuable to ask questions and gain a sense of how their knowledge can actually be applied in practice. It often turns out to be both inspiring and motivating, you can really see how these encounters make a difference,” says Isabelle Isaksson, Vice CEO, Chalmers Studentkår Promotion AB.
“The fair is a bridge between students’ academic knowledge and the real-world energy transition,” says Sonia Yeh, Professor of Transport and Energy Systems and Vice Director, Chalmers Energy Area of Advance. “It’s inspiring to see so many bright minds and engaged companies coming together to shape future solutions.”
The fair also highlighted the diversity of expertise needed to tackle the energy transformation — from new battery technologies and circular materials to smart grids, mobility, and system integration.
For companies, it was a chance to connect with future engineers and researchers who bring fresh perspectives and new ideas.
After three successful editions, the Master Thesis Fair – Energy has become a yearly highlight within the Chalmers energy community, strengthening ties between education, research, and industry. The enthusiasm in the Volvo Foyer showed that collaboration truly is the key to a sustainable energy future.
