BIPs, or Blended Intensive Programmes, are a new format of short-term international study under the
Erasmus+ program that combine online learning with a short period of physical mobility (5-30 days). Organized by alliances like CIVIS,
EU GREEN, and others, they involve students and staff from multiple partner universities and are often structured around addressing key societal challenges. These programs allow participants to earn credits and gain international experience through a flexible, collaborative format.
Key features of Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs)
- Blended format: Each BIP includes both mandatory online components and a short-term physical mobility period.
- International collaboration: Programs are developed and run by at least three partner universities, fostering collaboration among students and staff from different countries.
- Short and intensive: The physical mobility part typically lasts between 5 and 30 days, and the programs are designed to be intensive and transformative.
- Erasmus+ funding: Participants may be eligible for Erasmus+ funding to help cover the costs of their short-term mobility.
- Flexible timing: Programs can be offered at different times of the year to accommodate various academic schedules.
- Diverse topics: BIPs cover a wide range of disciplines, developed in response to major societal challenges.
