Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes

• At least 3 ECHE higher education institutions from 3 different participating countries*
• At least mobile 10 participants (students and/or non-academic staff)
• At least 3 ECTS for students
• Virtual components (before, during or after physical mobility)

*The UK no longer counts as an Erasmus+ programme country, but as a partner country. HE institutions from partner countries can also take part, but they will not receive any funding.

The coordinating HE institution, which organises the BIP and stipulates the time spent in situ, can apply for a fixed sum of funding to pay for personnel costs, materials, room rental, activities and communications.

The amount of funding depends on the number of mobile participants, i.e. students or staff, who are travelling abroad for the BIP. The coordinating HE institution can apply for 400 euros of funding per mobile participant (total: max. 8,000 euros per BIP). 

For applications submitted via the International Office, the minimum number of students participating in the mobility arrangement must already have been set, with potential funding for between 10 (min.) and 20 (max.) participants. If the minimum number of mobile students participating is not reached, the funding will be cancelled – and the costs for organising and running the BIP must be borne by the faculty in question!

* Exchange students cannot be sent abroad on Erasmus+ as mobile participants to the in-situ part of a BIP and don’t count as mobile participants!

For short physical group mobility (face-to-face) stages, mobile participants are awarded “blended mobility” funding, which you should apply for via your home institution’s International Office. See: Blended mobility under Study abroad with Erasmus+.

The range of daily rates depends in price levels in the destination country (min. 98 euros max. 180 euros/day), plus travel expenses. Further details are available from the International Office .
