Detailed descriptions of the projects:

E-Sport and Virtual Entertainment Laboratory

The project involves preparing a place where students will be able to use professional training infrastructure for e-sport competition. To this end, the adaptation of the room in the immediate vicinity of the AWSB gym is proposed.

Equipment:

• 6 positions for e-sport competition (computers, monitors, tables and gaming seats)
• VR Treadmill
• Virtual shooting range
• PS console
• Video streaming studio
• Dedicated sound system and lighting

Office Bike System

Ecology. Activity. Competition. A system of bicycles, which can appear in the corridors of WSB University, combines these elements. Just sit on your bike to start a sports competition, charge your phone or listen to music. You pedal and the generated electricity starts devices plugged into the system. Of course, everything to support your activity and your health.

AWSB charity. Plastic nut container system

The purchase of plastic nut containers to all Branch Campuses of WSB University will enable cyclical collections and support charitable projects carried out in cooperation with partner social organisations, as well as for students and graduates who need support the most.
