Arqus Launches Fourth Call for Blended Intensive Programmes

Arqus announces the launch of its fourth joint call for Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs), designed and funded under the Erasmus+ programme.

BIPs are short, intensive learning experiences that employ innovative teaching and learning methods, including online collaboration. These programmes are intended for both students and staff and combine a period of short-term physical mobility abroad with a compulsory virtual component, enabling collaborative online learning and teamwork.

Each programme must be developed and delivered by at least three partners from Erasmus+ programme countries, including a minimum of two universities from the Arqus Alliance. Both the physical and virtual components should be jointly designed by the partner institutions and may be either interdisciplinary or focused on a specific subject area.

Programmes may be implemented during the 2026–2027 academic year, starting from September 2026, in accordance with the procedures of the participating institutions. All activities must be completed by 31 July 2027, unless otherwise specified.

The call is open until 31 May 2026. More information and the application process are available here.
