INTERACTION ACROSS THE KNOWLEDGE TRIANGLE

This form of interaction provides Chalmers with a vital and continuous supply of knowledge, competence and partners.

RESEARCH EDUCATION INNOVATION

The Chalmers model is a powerful instrument facilitating both

• perational and strategic working
• processes. This freedom enables

each Area of Advance to perform to its greatest potential.

STRATEGIC STEERING AREA OF ADVANCE

A UNIQUE MODEL

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.

MEETINGS ACROSS BOUNDARIES

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.

INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION

Competence

Each area provides a hub of competence to achieve a common goal.
