Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)

Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) are short, intensive study programmes that use innovative teaching and learning methods, including online collaboration, which is an obligatory component of the mobility.

BIPs are intended for both students (study mobility and study mobility with an included traineeship component) and staff training.

Duration of BIP

The duration of the physical mobility (on-site activities) may range from 5 to 30 days. Only one physical mobility period is allowed, and all physical mobility days must follow one after another accordingly. The duration of virtual cooperation is not limited. It may take place before and/or after the physical mobility period and/or in parallel with it.

Inclusion Support

In line with the principles of the Higher Education Charter, study mobility ensures equal opportunities, fair access, inclusion, and diversity regardless of the student’s background. Internship mobility is open to a wide range of participants, including those with fewer opportunities, such as people with disabilities (physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments, which, in interaction with various barriers, may limit full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others), health issues (health conditions, including serious illnesses, chronic conditions, or any physical or mental health situation that prevents participation in the programme), barriers related to education and training systems, cultural differences, social barriers, economic barriers, barriers related to discrimination, and geographical barriers.

Erasmus+ Programme Inclusion Support (for individuals with limited opportunities) may be granted to long-term or short-term study mobility participants who meet one or more of the following criteria:

A person with a Group I, II, or III disability (proof of disability required);
A person with health problems requiring outpatient care (a medical certificate confirming the need for outpatient care is required);
A person with refugee or alternative status (status-confirming document required – permanent residence permit in Latvia or temporary residence permit in Latvia);
A Ukrainian citizen (proof of temporary residence permit in Latvia required);
A person from a large family or a family caring for a child with disabilities (Latvian “Honorary Family Certificate 3+ Family Card” required);
An orphan, a person without parental care (orphan certificate required) or a person who has lost a provider (supporting status-confirming documentation required);
A person from a low-income or financially disadvantaged person (status-confirming document required).
