What are Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP)?
Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) are short programmes in one of the Erasmus+ countries. They combine a physical mobility with a virtual learning component. This is called blended mobility.They can be organised for student mobility or traineeships, but also staff mobility.
The aim of Blended Intensive Programmes is to encourage students with fewer possibilities to participate in mobility activities and to facilitate the process of internationalisation at home. Furthermore, BIPs use innovative learning and teaching methods, such as web-based collaboration.

Call for application: Erasmus + funding for Blended Intensive
Programme organisational funds (BIP OS)
Uppsala University is making available funds for five contributions equal to a minimum of € 6,000 and maximum of € 8,000 each to cover the organisational costs necessary for the planning and implementation of each Blended Intensive Programme.
Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) are short and intensive teaching programmes developed by groups of higher education institutions from different European countries. They provide short periods of face-to-face activities combined with online learning and cooperation activities, in which joint groups of students, teaching staff and administrative staff from different countries can participate to collaborate on specific tasks collectively and simultaneously. More information on BIP can be found in the Higher Education Mobility Handbook Pdf, 1 MB. and the blended mobility implementation guide Pdf, 1 MB..

The funds can be used to cover costs related to preparation, design, development, implementation and follow-up of the programme and the carrying out of virtual/remote activities, as well as overall management and coordination. The funds can be used e.g. for production of documents or educational material, rental of rooms, rental of equipment, field trips, excursions, communication activities, translation and interpretation, preparatory visits, admin tasks etc.
