GOAL
The aim of this program was to design and implement Blended Intensive Programs (BIP) through the living experience of one BIP in the framework of the Erasmus+ Connect-UNITA project. This BIP4BIPS aims to enable the development of transnational and transdisciplinary programs of study, as well as innovative learning and teaching methods, including online collaboration, research-based learning, and challenge-based approaches, to address societal challenges.

BIP4BIPS enabled participants to share and exchange ideas on innovative teaching and digital practices. Thanks to this scheme, 3 BIPs projects integrating alliance partners from the first and second phases were conceived. It has also served as the basis for the development of future BIPs to be organized by UniTBv, IPG and UPNA.
