What are Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs)?
Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) are short and intensive education programs that utilize innovative teaching and learning methods including online collaboration. BIPs allow higher education institutions to jointly develop education, teaching, and learning programs for groups of academic and administrative staff as well as students, using innovative and virtual tools. Activities within BIPs cover both physical mobility (between 5 and 30 days) and a mandatory virtual component.
