Electronics, software, technical solutions, economic analyses, and business plans: this year's inaugural Graduation Project Fair, hosted by the VOŠ a SPŠE Pilsen at TechTower, offered it all. On the penultimate Friday in April, 140 students publicly presented their final projects.

"We view the Graduation Project Fair as a vital component of vocational education. It offers students the chance to present the results of their long-term work, sharpen their presentation skills, and showcase their projects to both the public and industry experts," explained Pavel Anderle, Director of VOŠ a SPŠE. He also emphasized the significance of the close ties with the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen: "This partnership opens up further educational opportunities for our students and naturally motivates them to pursue further studies in technical and economic fields."

Awards were presented to the most outstanding projects in IT, economics, and electrical engineering. In the IT category, Václav Šmejkal stood out with his WHY2 encryption system. The top economics prize went to Adam Boháč and Matěj Kulhavý for their business plan for a transport company. At the same time, Adam Průha took first place in electrical engineering with his digital clock.

In addition to the general awards, UWB faculties served as expert judges, each presenting a Faculty Award to the project that best met their specific technical criteria. The Faculty of Applied Sciences (FAV) once again recognized Václav Šmejkal for his Encryption and Chat Library project, while the Faculty of Economics (FEK) honored Ivana Klymko and Bohdan Stefanyk for their next-generation fitness center project. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEL) award went to Eliška Okrouhlá for her innovative sensory glove.

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the projects; many are on par with the work of our university students. These students can come up with original and technically advanced ideas, and we would be delighted to welcome such talented individuals to our faculty," said Tomáš Blecha, Vice Dean of FEL. Miloš Železný, Dean of FAV, shared this enthusiasm, noting: "It is inspiring to see the level of innovation in these graduation projects. The best ones have great potential for further development at our university." Emil Vacík, Dean of FEK, was equally impressed by the graduates' high standards and dedication. All representatives agreed that the fair demonstrates the clear value of this partnership, which they intend to strengthen in the future.
