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.

This Blended Intensive Programme is coordinated by Istanbul Kültür University, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and will take place between June 20-26, 2024, at "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia, Romania.
This program focuses on developing and presenting a project that includes a software application focusing on "digital urbanization" at the in4it-UAB hackathon organized by "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia under the main theme "Digital Future." It will also include lectures and seminars by international academics, as well as various social and cultural activities.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Students participating in mobility under the BIP will receive a daily individual support of €79. Each student participating in the activity will receive a grant of €553 for the 7-day activity, within the framework of the Erasmus+ 2023 Project Year. Selected students will not receive travel grants in addition to individual support.
GREEN TRAVEL
Green travel involves using low carbon emission public transportation for travel. Bus, train, and shared car usage are included in green travel. To be eligible for green travel support, more than half of the travel distance must be covered using green vehicles for both outbound and return journeys.
INCLUSION SUPPORT
The Erasmus+ Programme encourages the participation of individuals with special needs. A participant with special needs is someone whose personal physical condition, mental condition, or health condition would prevent them from participating in the project/mobility activity without additional financial support. To receive additional grants for students and staff requiring special needs support, the beneficiary higher education institution must submit an additional grant request to the Center. After a participant with special needs support is selected, if there is a need for additional grants, approximate additional expenses will be determined, and an additional grant request will be made to the Center.
