In this Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) on non-traditional and innovative mobility formats in higher education, we offer different experiences on the development of this topic across Europe. All this will take place in a friendly atmosphere with many opportunities to meet colleagues from different European countries.
The main objective is to understand new international teaching environments and to connect with colleagues abroad in order to establish a wide range of non-traditional mobility opportunities for students from participating institutions
