Chalmers offers both customised and open contract education:
**Customised:** Companies and organisations can make inquiries about courses to [uppdragsutbildning@chalmers.se](mailto:uppdragsutbildning@chalmers.se) It is also possible to contact a [department](https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/ "Departments") or [centre](https://www.chalmers.se/en/centres/ "Centres") directly with a request.
**Open:** Chalmers regularly offers courses that are open for registration. Examples of areas are: production, logistics and Lean, the organisation and improvement of healthcare, healthcare premises, applied life cycle thinking, and metal cutting.
## Applied life cycle thinking
The life cycle perspective, understanding the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout the value chain, is gaining increased importance in business as well as in public sector and authorities.
### Course in applied life cycle thinking
## Metal cutting
The [Chalmers Centre for Metal Cutting Research (MCR)](https://www.chalmers.se/en/centres/mcr/ "MCR Centre for Metal Cutting Research") offers university accredited professional education on machining and grinding technology – whether at Chalmers, at your company’s facilities or in a live virtual format. Engineers, process planners and machine operators take part in this training to gain basic and advanced knowledge in various subject areas. Course participants learn from Chalmers faculty and external experts who are leaders in their fields, from materials science to manufacturing engineering. The courses combine lectures and laboratory exercises.
