STARS EU Alliance will run five Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes during the 2nd semester 2022/2023

The STARS EU Alliance offers five BIP during the 2nd semester 2022/2023 in the following topics:

• Challenge Based Innovation (6 ECTS credits)
• Circular Bioeconomy (6 ECTS credits)
• Cybersecurity (6 ECTS credits)
• Emotional Education (6 ECTS credits)
• Smart Grids (6 ECTS credits)

BIP are short and intensive training programmes, including online cooperation by combining physical mobility with a virtual part, and promoting and using innovative ways of learning and teaching, research-based and challenge-based learning.

The virtual part will allow the participation in teaching/training of experts from all partners. The physical short-term mobility will allow the face-to-face cooperation of teachers and participants.

Students can maintain their study plan at home institution and include the BIP training as parallel activity. The short-term physical mobility will constitute the only period outside their home institution. Students will credit the BIP at their study plans.

Physical mobility support

The individual support to students and teaching staff for the physical mobility should be provided by the sending organisation, that can use their own regular Erasmus funds for mobility. Short-term student mobility grants are now allowed for BIP within the new Erasmus+ programme.
