Chalmers University of Technology
In Formas' recently announced decisions for calls in the built environemnt area, ACE's share of granted projects is worth close to SEK 46.5 million. The projects that have been granted span several different research areas, divisions and research groups, which highlights the versatility and breadth within the department.
The approved applications, which aim to understand and meet the need for sustainable and resilient structures and systems in society, was composed despite the spring semester being characterized by a pandemic and work from home, and after the overall austerity measures came into force.
- It's fantastic seeing these successfull applications! Our joint efforts in recent years are coming into effect and it is becoming increasingly clear that society's challenges need our broad knowledge and competence. This shows the strength of ACE as a department and not least the strength of our researchers, says Fredrik Nilsson, head of the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering.
