About CIRC

The Chalmers International Reception Committee (CIRC) is responsible for organizing welcome events and activities that help new students get involved and become part of the vibrant student community at Chalmers.

Each year, we coordinate the reception of around 2,000 international Master’s and exchange students during the spring and autumn semesters. Our mission is to create a warm, inclusive, and inspiring environment where students from all backgrounds feel at home from day one.

Beyond arrival, we continue supporting students year-round in collaboration with other groups, helping them navigate life at Chalmers and in Gothenburg.

Venkat Girisan, Vice President

“We’re really looking forward to meeting all of you soon! We’ve got some exciting events lined up to help you get to know each other, explore the city, and have a great time together. Can’t wait to kick things off and join in the fun!”
