Campus Johanneberg
Campus Lindholmen
Campus Lindholmen is located to the north of the Göta river, on Norra Älvstranden, in one of the most modern and most rapidly expanding city districts. The area is swarming with innovative companies within mobile communications, intelligent transport and the modern media industry.
Libraries
Chalmers University of Technology has three main libraries where you can:
- Get advice on litterature and databases
- Study in assigned quiet areas
- Recieve writing tutoring
- Borrow books
- Book group study rooms
- Access e-resources (also off-campus)
- Borrow lockers, whiteboard pens, ear phones, scanners, usb memory sticks etc.
- Use the library's computers.
Prayer room
In the student union building there is a prayer room to enable students and staff to practice their religion.
Research Facilities
Chalmers has several advanced research facilities on campus, serving the different types of research conducted here. Master’s students have access to these facilities during their studies, depending on the type of assignments and projects that they undertake. Here are some examples.
Chalmers Centre for Computational Science and Engineering
Chalmers Centre for Computational Science and Engineering (C3SE) is Chalmers' infrastructure for demanding computing calculations and data storage. It provides researchers with hardware resources as well as software and knowledge of numerical modelling, simulation and analysis.
Chalmers Simulator Centre
The Lindholmen campus has the most comprehensive simulation equipment for training and research in maritime operations.
There are a number of different simulators here representing different parts of a vessel and functions on shore. Several of the simulators are connected which makes it possible to simulate complex scenarios.The Simulator Centre is used for training aspiring marine officers in advanced operations, including preventing and mitigating the consequences of accidents at sea. It is also used in domestic and international research projects with participants from academia, maritime authorities and maritime industries.
Chalmers Power Central
Chalmers Power Central is an advanced energy research facility based at the Johanneberg campus.
Cutting edge research in combustion and gasification of biomass is carried out here in a large-scale research boiler along with flaming combustion and carbon capture. The Power Central also supplies the campus with electricity, heating, cooling and compressed air. Based on thorough intelligence analysis, operations are steered towards the most relevant research questions and the equipment is being continuously updated accordingly.
HSB Living Lab
The HSB Living Lab is a collaboration project, consisting of 30 apartments for students and visiting researchers on the Johanneberg campus.
Besides providing residential accommodation, the building serves as a laboratory for the researchers − a living laboratory. This provides a great opportunity to conduct research into sustainable innovations in real-life residential environments. Measurements are collected through sensors in the building, where water recycling, solar panels, smart booking systems, electricity consumption and sustainable building materials and components are tested and evaluated.
Onsala Space Observatory
The Onsala Space Observatory is a national facility for radio astronomy operated by Chalmers on behalf of the Swedish Research Council. The facility is located on the Onsala peninsula, 45 km south of Gothenburg.
The area is home to a 25-metre radio telescope and a 20-metre radio telescope for millimetre waves and the Swedish station in the European radio telescope Lofar. Onsala Space Observatory is also involved in the development of instruments for shorter wavelengths, such as for the Sest telescopes and Apex in the Andes in South America. Techniques developed for radio astronomy are also well suited for observations of the Earth and its atmosphere. Research at the observatory therefore also deals with the measurement of the Earth, navigation and remote analysis. A new instrument – the Onsala twin telescope – is in the process of being acquired to accurately determine continental drift.
Nanofabrication Laboratory
The Nanofabrication Laboratory is a clean room facility for research and development in micro and nanotechnology. Here you will find a wide range of equipment for developing and testing new ideas on a micro and nano scale.
The Nanofabrication Laboratory is part of the national research infrastructure Myfab, and is the national node for nanolithography, which is a method for producing patterns in the nanometre scale. Chalmers' expertise and extensive experience in nanolithography forms the basis for two strategic areas in which microwave electronics and photonics is one, while quantum components is the other. Here you have a complete laboratory fitted out to perform all the steps from material growth to components and circuits.
The National Laboratory in Terahertz Characterisation
The national laboratory in terahertz characterisation is a unique laboratory for the development of technology in the hard to reach terahertz frequency range, i.e. frequencies of the order of a trillion cycles per second.
The vision is to become one of the three most complete and advanced measurement laboratories for high frequencies, open to users from all around the world. A new generation of instruments allows measurements at frequencies up to and above one terahertz. The equipment is adapted to suit multiple research areas: materials, components, circuits, systems, and antennas for high frequencies.
Materials Analysis Laboratory
The purpose of the laboratory is simply to provide access to advanced experimental methods for materials research, both for Chalmers researchers and from other universities and industryies
The base for the laboratory is a collection of instruments of various types of high-resolution, world-class electron microscopes, known as atom probes and equipment to prepare samples prior to electron microscopy. There is also equipment here for optical spectroscopy, surface analysis and chemical characterisation.
At Chalmers, you’ll experience a real taste of teamwork, from planning and organising, to final delivery and presentation. Through project-based learning, you will use your theoretical knowledge to solve complex, real-life problems, and develop your critical thinking skills as you work your way through them. You’ll live, study, and work with students from over 70 countries, combining different cultural perspectives to broaden your horizons, and contribute to a worldwide network of research.
What do you do when the studies are over for the day?
Within Chalmers Student Union, there are over 170 associations and committees, so there is always something for everyone. From balloon flying, robot constructions, to theatrical plays, we have it all. Chalmers Student Union is a non-profit organization and would not be anything but its committed members. At Chalmers, more than half of the total number of students are active on their department sections or inside Chalmers Student Union during their studies. There are many ways to get involved. For example, students can take part and arrange big events at Chalmers such as Cortègen, CHARM (Chalmers Career Days) or the biggest university party FestU. We also offer Gothenburg’s largest training facility at Fysiken for all Chalmers Student Union members. Fysiken has many different forms of group training and two of Sweden’s most modern and most well-equipped gym.
