Chalmers University of Technology

Chalmers University of Technology (Chalmers) is a private research university in Gothenburg, Sweden, specializing in engineering, science, architecture, maritime studies and management. It has approximately 10,000 students and 3,000 employees, and participates in national and European research initiatives, including Sweden's quantum computing program and the EU-funded Graphene Flagship. Chalmers was founded in 1829 following a donation by William Chalmers, a director of the Swedish East India Company, to establish an industrial school. It was run as a private institution until 1937, when it became the second state-owned technical university, and in 1994 the government of Sweden reorganised it into a private company owned by a government-controlled foundation.
