Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes

Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes 

Blended intensive programmes allow students, academic, and administrative staff of higher education institutions to participate in an educational programme (curriculum) and activities with physical and virtual components. Students who are unable to participate in long-term physical study or traineeship mobility due to their academic field of study or lack of opportunities for participation can participate in short-term physical mobility with a compulsory virtual component.
