Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) 
Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)
The Erasmus+ funding programme ‘Blended Intensive Programmes’ (BIP) consists of jointly designed and implemented courses for participants from several European universities with a virtual and a face-to-face learning phase. Based on Erasmus+ funded short-term mobility programmes, students who are unable to participate in long-term mobility for specific reasons still have the opportunity to gain international learning experience. Teaching activities in a BIP can be funded through Erasmus+ teaching mobility.
Contents and key points BIPs
The principles of the ECHE and compliance with Erasmus+ regulations also apply to blended intensive programmes. Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreements are required, as are learning agreements and transcripts of records. Recognition of the credits to be earned must be ensured.
