What is a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)?
The Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), part of the Erasmus+ initiative, is a short-term international learning experience that combines online education with physical mobility. Designed to be flexible and innovative, BIPs include virtual modules delivered before and/or after an intensive in-person phase.
The online component focuses on digital collaboration, while the physical mobility phase takes place at a host institution and features workshops, site visits, and group projects. This blended format supports academic development, hands-on learning, and meaningful intercultural exchange.
🎯 Purpose
Blended Intensive Programmes aim to:
- Provide international learning opportunities for students and staff who are unable to participate in, or face challenges with, long-term physical mobility
- Promote innovative teaching and learning approaches in higher education, including digital, collaborative, and project-based learning
