The Blended Intensive Programs (ΒΙΡ) are part of the new Erasmus+ Program 2021-27, in action KA131 "Mobility of Students and Staff of HEIs" and are short-term programs that use innovative learning and teaching methods, including the use of online cooperation.  In order to be implemented, at least 15 (or 20) students from the 2 (or more) participating institutions coming from different countries than the institution hosting the program must participate. The duration of the program includes mobility with a physical presence for a period of 5 to 30 days, which is necessarily combined with a virtual activity.  Students and staff participating in the BIP are funded by the Erasmus+ student and staff mobility positions of the sending institution. The maximum period of receiving an individual grant is 5 days, including travel days. The participants must apply to participate in a relevant Announcement for Student/Staff Mobility for Teaching/Training of their University. The update on B.I.P Programs that are organized by other institutions can be done by individual research on the internet, by announcements posted on the Erasmus+ Office Website and by information from the Erasmus+ Academic Managers or more generally from the Department's academic staff.
