join us

We look forward to working with artists, researchers, students and PhD students, and representatives of creative industries. We combine various competencies, modern digital technologies, and humanistic view of interaction, narrative, identity, and perception with social responsibility.

We look forward to working with artists that specialise in graphic design using traditional and digital technologies such as: 3D, AR, VR, and holography. We look for people who are bold, creative, open to international cooperation and new experiences, who explore the limits of the possibilities to combine science, art, and modern technologies.

Contact us if you are interested in virtual spaces, games in particular, you study art programmes, and you would like to join an international team. We organise workshops and exhibitions, carry out various artistic and scientific projects, and popularise knowledge about digital culture. We look for people who are open-minded, creative, interested in designing and creating graphics, music, game mechanics, and storytelling.

In our centre you can carry out research projects related to broadly understood virtual space. Join our team if you are interested in the humanist view of interaction, narrative, identity, and perception in the context of digital culture, its secrets, and popularisation of knowledge in this field. We look for researchers representing different fields of art and science, such as humanities, social sciences, medical and health sciences, engineering and technical sciences, as well as exact and natural sciences. In the GAME LAB Design Centre you can carry out your research project, and we will make it easier for you to establish contacts with our experts from partner universities in seven countries around the world.

We welcome representatives of creative industries. We create international teams composed of students of art programmes who are fascinated with the gaming environment, and outstanding experts representing academic centres in Poland, Japan, USA, Mexico, Belgium, and Slovakia. We have an international virtual laboratory that not only carries out interdisciplinary research on virtual spaces, but also designs them.
