Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes - BIP
The Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) are a new funding scheme under the Erasmus+ Programme. They consist of international teaching activities that combine virtual collaboration and a short physical mobility period, offering challenge-based activities.
Blended intensive programmes must award at least 3 ECTS credits to students, and involve the participation of at least three universities from three different European countries.
The University of Padua promotes this type of mobility with various partner universities, in Europe and around the world.
(outgoing mobility for Unipd students)
To participate in a Blended Intensive Programme at the partner university, it is necessary to apply for the call for applications for the allocation of blended mobility places at European partner universities.
Before proceeding with the application via Uniweb, it is necessary to consult:
- the selection call for the allocation of blended mobility places at European partner universities and read the rules for BIP mobility
- the BIP programme sheet for which you intend to apply and read the prerequisites and the required attachments.
In the event of problems with the online procedure, you may write to the service: virtual.exchange@unipd.it
The list of BIPs available for the first call for applications for the academic year 2026/2027 has been updated. Students are invited to consult the BIP programme fact sheets for specific information on each programme.

Students taking part in a Blended Intensive Programme with mobility at other European universities may benefit from an Erasmus+ grant of 79 euro per day of in-person activities at the host university.
From academic year 2025/2026, the Erasmus+ BIP grant provides for a unit contribution based on the kilometre distance band from the home University to the destination University.
- Between 10 and 99 km: € 28.00
- Between 100 and 499 km: € 211.00
- Between 500 and 1999 km: € 309.00
- Between 2000 and 2999 km: € 395.00
- Between 3000 and 3999 km: € 580.00
- Between 4000 and 7999 km: € 1180.00
- 8000 km: € 1,735.00
The European Commission provides an official calculator for distances between institutions.
Students must purchase their tickets independently.
As part of its commitment to sustainability and in line with the objectives of the Erasmus+ programme, the University of Padua encourages students to choose low-environmental-impact travel options to reach their mobility destination.
From academic year 2026/27, those who reach their destination using mainly sustainable means of transport (train and/or coach) for both the outward and return journeys may apply for the “Green Travel” Top Up, that is, an additional travel contribution.
The amounts provided by the University for the “Green Travel” Top Up are:
• Between 10 and 99 km: 28 euro
• Between 100 and 499 km: 74 euro
• Between 500 and 1999 km: 108 euro
• Between 2000 and 2999 km: 140 euro
• Between 3000 and 3999 km: 205 euro
