VSB

VSB is an acronym that can refer to multiple entities, depending on context. The most widely recognized use is for the Vysoká škola báňská – Technická univerzita Ostrava in the Czech Republic, commonly abbreviated as VŠB-TUO. The institution originated as a mining-focused school in the 19th century and later expanded into a broad technical university. Located in Ostrava, it offers programs across faculties such as mining and geology, metallurgy and materials engineering, mechanical and civil engineering, electrical engineering, information technology, economics and management, and natural sciences. The university emphasizes both applied and fundamental research and maintains collaborations with industry, government, and international partners. It participates in European higher education networks and student exchange programs.

In addition to the VŠB-TUO, the acronym VSB may be used by other organizations, companies, or initiatives whose initials match VSB. Because VSB is not unique, the intended subject is usually clarified by geographic location, sector, or accompanying descriptive terms. Some encyclopedia entries use disambiguation to guide readers to the specific subject they seek when multiple VSB-related topics exist.
