Chalmers University of Technology
Chalmers University of Technology was founded in 1829 and named after William Chalmers, a director of the Swedish East India Company, who set aside funds in his will to establish an “industry school for poor children”, who were taught to read and write. Chalmers University of Technology now has more than 10,500 students and just under 1,900 teaching and research staff at its two Gothenburg campuses. Chalmers University of Technology, situated in Gothenburg, Sweden, conducts research and offers education in technology, science, shipping and architecture with a sustainable future as its global vision. Chalmers is well-known for providing an effective environment for innovation and has 13 departments. Graphene Flagship, an FET Flagship initiative by the European Commission, is coordinated by Chalmers.
