Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) allow HEI (Higher Education Institutions) students and university staff to carry out an international experience that combines short-term physical mobility abroad (from 5 to 30 days) with a compulsory virtual component facilitating a collaborative online learning exchange and teamwork.
The UNITA Erasmus BIPs aim at bringing together groups of students and/or staff from at least three higher education institutions belonging to the UNITA – Universitas Montium alliance.
The programmes may include challenge based learning where international and multidisciplinary teams work together to tackle challenges for example those linked to the sustainable development goals or other societal challenges identified by regions, cities or companies.
By enabling new and more flexible mobility formats that combine physical mobility with a virtual part, BIPs aim at reaching all types of students from all backgrounds, study fields and cycles.
