with open ended complex real life prob-
lems, i.e. solutions must be found to prob-
lems with incomplete and uncertain data.
All courses are 7.5 ECTS and students
normally take two courses each quarter.
Eight of the eleven semi-compulsory cour-
ses must be completed. Students can, ac-cording to their interests, combine elective

SWEDEN A CULTURE OF INNOVATIONOne of the worlds most modern countries, Sweden is the birth-
place of many successful international corporations. Innovative
research at Swedish universities and companies has resulted
in a number of successful inventions. Some examples are: the
computer mouse, Bluetooth for internet mobility, the pacemaker,
the ball bearing, the Tetra Pak beverage packaging system, the
dialysis machine and internet applications such as the online
music streaming service Spotify and the free internet calling ser-
vice Skype.These fairly recent inventions build on a long history
of excellence in academia and research. Sweden is the home of
the prestigious Nobel Prize, awarded in Stockholm every year.
Sweden has a number of large multinational corporations,
such as telecom supplier Ericsson, automotive companies Volvoand Scania, household appliances corporation Electrolux, bear-
ing manufacturer SKF, and high-tech engineering groups Sand-
vik and Atlas Copco. The deep-rooted creative environment has
made Sweden a strong nation in the areas of design, fashion
and music, with well-known international brands such as furni-
ture giant IKEA and clothes retailer H&M. Sweden is also one of
the largest music-exporting countries in the world.

Karin Markides, president
Chalmers for a sustainable future is a vision which
exudes the long-term approach, the acceptance of
responsibility and the trust I feel is worthy of Chalm-
ers. At the same time, it is obvious that this vision has
to be shared by many and that Chalmers has to co-
operate across disciplines in order to promote thewhole of societys commitment to our future.
