What are Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programs (BIPs)?
Blended intensive programs are short, intensive programs that use innovative ways of learning and teaching, including the use of online cooperation. Groups of higher education institutions will have the opportunity to organise short blended intensive programs of learning, teaching and training for students and staff.
During these blended intensive programs, groups of students and/or staff as learners will undertake a short-term physical mobility abroad combined with a compulsory virtual component facilitating collaborative online learning exchange and teamwork.
Blended intensive programs build capacity for developing and implementing innovative teaching and learning practices in the participating institutions. For BIPs, physical mobility must last between 5 days and 30 days and be combined with a compulsory virtual component.
