Chalmers tekniska högskola, is a university of technology in which research and teaching are conducted on a broad front within technology, natural science and architecture. CTHA was founded in 1829 as a result of a donation from the director of the Swedish East India Company, William Chalmers. Currently, Total number of students (individuals) is 10600 and employs 2245 persons of whom 1500 are teacher and research staff. Chalmers‟ sixteen departments provide a very broad and strong research environment with access to significant shared resources such as Chalmers Center for Computational Science and Engineering (C3SE). Extensive research collaboration takes place in research centres or in regional, national and international research programmes such as NorduGrid/ARC, NDGF, EGEE, LCG and Baltic Grid and the SWEGrid test bed on the computational side and in Fusion through the Department of radio and space science. Chalmers is a partner in the Swedish Fusion Association participating in the European Fusion Development Agreement activities promoting Fusion as a viable energy alternative for the future. Chalmers has a particularly strong fusion theory program and are providing leading contributions to Core transport theory and modelling, MHD instabilities and Resistive wall modes as well as fast particle physics.
