Our Driving forces: ENTREPRENEURSHIP ･ INNOVATION ･ SUSTAINABLE FUTURE BASIC SCIENCES (The roots of scientific understanding)

Information & Communication Technology Materials Science Built Environment Life Science Nanoscience & Production Nanotechnology Energy Transport

[Chalmers’ terminology]; an area of interaction between research, innovation and education at Chalmers resulting in scientific excellence and a potential to improve sustainability.

SCIENTIFIC EXCELLENCE VISION FOR EXCELLENCE • International alliances • Impact on society • Interaction across the knowledge triangle • Meetings across boundaries • Visibility and focus INFORMATION & ENERGY COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTION MATERIALS BUILT SCIENCE ENVIRONMENT LIFE SCIENCE NANOSCIENCE & NANOTECHNOLOGY TRANSPORT

INTERACTION INNOVATION ACROSS THE KNOWLEDGE TRIANGLE This form of interaction provides Chalmers with a vital and continuous supply of knowledge, competence and partners. RESEARCH EDUCATION

A UNIQUE MODEL STRATEGIC STEERING The Chalmers model is a powerful AREA OF ADVANCE instrument facilitating both operational and strategic working processes. This freedom enables each Area of Advance to perform to its greatest potential.

MEETINGS ACROSS BOUNDARIES Each Area of Advance is an open meeting place where various parties can work together for a common solution – crossing the boundaries of academia, industry and society.

INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION With excellence in research and education as our currency, the Areas of Advance reinforce the university’s collaboration with partners all over the world. Attracting further opportunities to excel.

HOW THIS WORKS: Each area provides a hub of competence to achieve a common goal. Department Competence Department Department Department
