Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs)

General Information and Programmes

What are BIPs?

Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) are short, intensive study programmes that combine a physical mobility abroad with a compulsory virtual component. These programmes often include challenge-based learning, where transnational and transdisciplinary teams collaborate.

 

  • Promote international cooperation
  • Develop digital, intercultural, and professional competences
  • Include learners who might otherwise not participate in long-term mobility programmes
  • Reach students from diverse backgrounds, study fields, and education cycles

 

 

  • At least three Erasmus+ partner universities from three different programme countries (DIT + 2 Erasmus partner universities) participate in planning and implementing the BIP: HEROES Universities will be prioritized. See list: https://www.th-deg.de/auslandsaufenthalte#partnerunis
  • A minimum of 10 mobile learners take part in the on-site learning phase. (We recommend between 15 – 20 participants)
  • Participants must earn at least 3 ECTS credits, which should be recognized by their home institution.
  • The physical mobility should be at least 5 days and can be up to 30 days. The virtual part can be carried out before and/or after the physical part.
  • Participants from universities in third countries may join but do not receive Erasmus+ funding and do not count towards minimum funding thresholds.
  • Open to students at all levels as well as university staff.

 

 

  • Participants receive Erasmus+ funding from their sending institution for the physical mobility phase, covering travel and living expenses.
  • University staff involved in BIPs (as lecturers or organizers) may also be eligible for Erasmus+ funding.
  • A "Green Travel" bonus may be granted for sustainable travel choices (e.g., train or bus instead of plane), offering slightly higher lump sums.
  • DIT can be the organizer/coordinating university (BIP Incoming to DIT) or a partner sending out students and staff.
  • As coordinating university there is Erasmus+ funding for excursions, cultural activities etc.

 

 

Incoming BIPs

  • DIT sends the BIP´s invitation to partner universities (through the IO)

Transforming Healthcare with AI:
Bridging Knowledge, Practical Applications, and Adoption

November 3-4 (virtual component) & November 7-14 (physical part in Pfarrkirchen)
 

Designed as an intensive, interdisciplinary learning experience that equips participants with the conceptual foundations, technical competencies, and critical perspectives needed to work effectively with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in healthcare.

A total of 9 researchers and nearly 60 students from 13 partner universities participated, including

  • Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT, Germany)
  • University of Agder (UiA, Norway)
  • Luleå Technical University (LTU, Sweden)
  • Czech Technical University (CTU, Czechia)

The social program offered a wide range of opportunities for networking and informal exchange. It included a traditional Bavarian lunch, a Welcome dinner, a bowling evening, networking breakfasts, and an international coffee break. In addition, participants had the chance to further connect and experience the regional culture during a full-day excursion to Munich.
