General information:
Objectives: Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) are short, intensive teaching programmes using innovative learning and teaching methods, including online collaboration. For students, they allow for more flexible mobility formats combining physical mobility with a compulsory virtual component.
General conditions: At least 3 universities from EU Member States or Associated Programme Countries create a joint teaching programme, which must include a physical mobility phase (min. 5 - max. 30 days) and a virtual component (e.g. for teamwork).
A minimum of 10 mobile Erasmus+ funded students must participate in order for the programme to be eligible for funding.
Funding: The host (usually coordinating) university receives funding for the implementation of the teaching programme on site: 400 EUR per participant - for a minimum of 15 but a maximum of 20 funded/mobile participants.
The sending universities finance students and teachers through Erasmus+ mobility grants.
Credits: A minimum of 3 ECTS credits must be guaranteed for participating students.
Applying for BIP funding at TUW: Please inform the International Mobility Office (see above) of your participation in a BIP by submitting the completed and signed application form (see “Download Forms”) ideally one year in advance. Only then can the requirements described above be checked in a timely manner and information about financial support from Erasmus+ be provided. There is no legal entitlement to Erasmus+ funding. Funding is allocated according to budget availability and based on following criteria:
- organized with a strategic partner (e.g. EULiST European Alliance, ATHENS network, …),
- organized with already existing TUW Erasmus+ partner universities,
- in line with TUW internationalization strategy,
- degree programmes with a low propensity for mobility,
- announced well in advance.
