Hi.
I'm renovating the garage and the walls are very uneven and plastered. I want to "glue" chipboard to the plaster. But what should I use for that? I can't screw because there is up to a 2cm difference from level. And I don't want to build a structure either.

If it is a plastered wall, are you sure the rH is always low enough to have chipboard against it?
Yes, I was just thinking, it's not fun if the walls get moldy.
If it's, for example, a basement garage, there's a risk that ground moisture keeps the walls damp.

agree with Mikael_L, chipboard is probably not a good idea. Possibly plywood, but I'm still hesitant to glue directly to plaster. A common solution when attaching directly to plaster and it's uneven is to spread gypsum that you mix yourself and screw a bit where possible with nail plugs. Personally, I would have used furring strips and placed spacers behind them so that the wall becomes level, thin battens are enough, and then screwed plywood on. This way you get an air gap with circulation if you leave a few centimeters from the floor.
If you are going to add insulation to an aerated concrete wall that is plastered, must/should you create an air gap between the studs (metal)/insulation and the plastered aerated concrete wall? I am aware that it is recommended to place the additional insulation on the outside, but I don't think it's feasible. Moreover, it's in an unheated garage...
