Jubilee professors

When Chalmers in 1979 celebrated 150 years, the government gave a Jubilee Professorship at Chalmers as a gift. The criteria to be met is that the holders wi​ll add Chalmers new skills and that the University's international relations will be strengthened. The chair is usually​ divided into three or four time intervals during the year and held by different professors. They are designated by the University President of Chalmers.
