Chalmers is launching an academic excellence program – a unique, long-term initiative to strengthen research quality and international competitiveness. In the pilot phase, 22 researchers have been selected for the program.
Among them are the following Myfab Chalmers users:
Christoph Langhammer
Floriana Lombardi
Ivan Mijakovic
Christian Müller
The excellence program is designed to give promising researchers better opportunities to combine research, education and academic duties within a coherent commitment, through enhanced base funding and close, dedicated research support.
The Chalmers University of Technology Foundation is allocating SEK 100 million per year over a ten-year period to excellence-driven initiatives. In the pilot phase of the program, each researcher receives SEK 5 million per year for five years in enhanced base funding. The initiative also includes individual research support aimed at reducing administrative workloads and giving researchers better opportunities to focus on their core activities.
This marks a fundamental shift in how we support and strengthen the development of our research excellence. The selected researchers are expected to combine excellent research with active engagement in education, supervision and the development of Chalmers as a university.
