SAFER’s Anna Nilsson-Ehle was awarded this year's Chalmers honorary medal for exceptional meritorious efforts. The fact that Chalmers attended to SAFER's importance by giving the director the honorary medal is a clear evidence that the competence centre's activities are particularly significant for the university.

-I'm grateful for the medal and for my years at SAFER. I am passionate about both collaboration and  traffic safety and I wish all SAFER people the best to continue to accomplish great achievements . Traffic safety is a key issue to reach the overall global goal of providing safe and sustainable mobility for everyone, Anna says.

Unique and forward-looking work methods and solutions characterize the Chalmers’ medalists this year, all of whom worked for Chalmers to be a pioneer as a technology-science university.

About the Chalmers honorary medal
The Chalmers honorary medal was founded in 1948 to the 200th anniversary of William Chalmers birth. The medal is dedicated to the one who, through interest and valuable effort, promotes the university's activities and development. The medalists should have done something beyond the usual for Chalmers. Chalmers medalists are appointed by Chalmers Board on a proposal from the principal. The medal is awarded at the annual promotion, held this year on May 6th.
