The Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) are a new funding line in the new Erasmus+ programme generation 2021 - 2027. The Blended Intensive Programmes are intended to promote the use of innovative learning and teaching methods and exploit the possibilities of online cooperation.
The programmes serve to increase digitalisation skills in teaching and learning and to develop short, intensive and joint mobility curricula and activities (e.g. teaching weeks, summer schools, etc.). The duration of the physical group mobility (5-30 days) is combined with a virtual phase of undefined duration.
