Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) are short intensive programmes on selected scientific topics that use innovative teaching methods. BIPs are organized in cooperation between several (at least three) universities that are affiliated with the Erasmus+ programme.

BIPs consist of a virtual part (BIP participants from different universities participate together in online classes) and an in-person part (BIP participants from different universities meet at one of the universities for a minimum of 5 days for joint courses.) BIP programmes are offered to BA, MA and PhD students, each participant also gains 3 ECTS points that are enlisted in the transcript.
