The project aims to protect birds from collisions with glass surfaces on the premises of the Faculty of Biology and Animal Breeding, and also seeks to increase the diversity of birds and bats on the campus. The faculty buildings are located near flood embankments, Biskupin Park, ROD Biskupin allotment gardens, and single-family housing with adjacent gardens. This location makes the area attractive to birds, bats, and other animals.
The project includes securing the most dangerous glass surfaces on campus. Actions such as installing nesting boxes and planting vegetation to attract more birds and bats, thereby creating a richer environment on campus, are also planned. The project also envisages the installation of informational boards to raise awareness among students and the local community about the need to protect these species.
Additionally, the project supports practical aspects of learning, enabling students to observe and study the diversity of animals in their natural environment.

The project aims to introduce sustainable waste management practices, including the purchase of waste segregation bins and conducting an educational campaign among students. It also plans an analysis of the energy potential of waste, the results of which will be used to create a knowledge base for the "BioEnergy" scientific club, which focuses on sustainable development and renewable energy sources.
The project includes 3 stages:
Stage 1: Creation of a map showing the distribution of containers on the Biskupin Campus where segregation bins are lacking, selecting them according to user needs. For example, a larger bin for paper waste in the secretariat and various waste containers in the cafeteria.
Stage 2: Purchase of waste bins, bottle crushers, and informational boards about segregation and closed-loop economy, in accordance with the prepared project.
Stage 3: Energy analysis of waste, including the characterization of waste in different locations (e.g., building exits, cafeteria) to determine their type and quantity.

The "Greenhouse – Chill&Study" project aims to transform the interior of the former cafeteria and patio in building F8 on the Biskupin Campus, utilizing natural elements. The "Greenhouse" will be a sunlit, plant-surrounded space for learning, relaxation, group work, and integration for students and staff of UPWr. The former cafeteria space has been adapted to meet the current needs of students and staff. The unused part of the gastronomic area has been separated by a curtain, which is treated as a temporary barrier until a tenant is found for the gastronomic part.
The project divides the space into zones for group work, individual work, and relaxation, also foreseeing a shelf for bookcrossing. The plan includes removing a part of the patio to make way for pollinator-friendly plants and a birch tree, creating a bulletin board, and installing a rainwater tank.
