Short-term physical mobility (5-30 days) + virtual component:
- Physical mobility takes place at the coordinating Higher education institution (HEI) in the receiving country.
- Collaborative online learning exchange and teamwork (no eligible criteria for duration).
- No formal requirements for BIP design: the virtual learning could be organized before or/and after the physical part of BIP.
BIP has to be developed and implemented by at least 3 HEIs coming from at least 3 Programme Countries:
- Coordinating HEI is also the receiving HEI
- All participating HEIs should hold a valid Erasmus Charter (ECHE)
- HEIs from Partner Countries may participate and may send participants at their own costs.
- The participants from Partner Countries do not count towards the minimum requirements.
- Teaching and training staff involved in the delivery of the programme can come from any organization in the Programme Country.
A minimum of 3 ECTS credits should be awarded to the students after BIP (virtual and physical mobility).
Number of participants in BIP: minimum 15 students; maximum 20 students
- Teaching/training staff involved in the delivery of the programme do not count towards the minimum of 15 participants.
- Students at the receiving HEI may participate but don’t count towards the target group of 15 students.
- The number of students from different HEIs shouldn’t be equal.
- Students registered in a HEI and enrolled in studies leading to a recognized degree (all levels, including PhD students)
- Staff: working at a HEI in a Programme Country
- Staff from enterprises invited to teach at an HEI in a Programme Country, public or private organisation active in the labor market (including employed doctoral candidates)
- Coordinating/receiving HEI gets mobility organisational support (OS) 400 EUR per participant (incoming student). Funding per BIP with 15 students: 6000 EUR.
- OS eligible costs: support (top-up salary) for academic and administrative staff at the receiving HEI involved in preparation and delivering the BIP; teaching / learning materials; social and cultural activities.
