Chalmers University of Technology (Swedish: Chalmers tekniska högskola, commonly referred to as Chalmers) is a private research university located in Gothenburg, Sweden. Chalmers focuses on engineering and science, but more broadly it also conducts research and offers education in shipping, architecture and management.[2] The university has approximately 3100 employees and 10,000 students.[3]

Chalmers is consistently ranked among the world's top 100 universities in engineering and technology.[4][5][6]

Chalmers coordinates the development of a Swedish quantum computer[7][8][9] and the Graphene Flagship, a European Union research initiative to develop commercial technologies with graphene.[10]

The university is a co-founder of the CDIO Initiative, a member of the UNITECH International program, the IDEA League, the Nordic Five Tech,[11] and the ENHANCE[12] alliances as well as the EURECOM consortium and the CESAER network.
