Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) are short, intensive programmes that use innovative ways of learning and teaching, including the use of online cooperation.
BIPs build capacity for developing and implementing innovative teaching and learning practices in the participating higher education institutions (HEIs).
BIPs are a way to learn something valuable while having an impactful international experience in a short period of time!
For who?
BIPs are designed for all students, regardless of their background or field of study. They offer flexible ways to take part in mobility by combining a short period abroad with online collaboration and teamwork.
BIPs by Diak
Diak coordinates several BIPs that are open for students and staff from partner HEIs as well as Diak’s students.
The BIPs are co-funded with Erasmus+ KA131 which means that the prerequisite for becoming a partner and having participants is an Erasmus+ Interinstitutional Agreement with Diak.

Diak students can apply to BIPs which are coordinated by Diak’s partner institutions.

Participation in the intensive week at a partner institution is supported by an Erasmus+ Mobility Grant.
