Arqus is glad to launch a joint call for Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) and a call for Arqus Twinning 2.0 projects. These two calls are aimed at academic staff to reinforce the collaboration between the members of the Alliance and to propose short-term mobility opportunities for students and staff.

The two programmes you can apply to are:

• Erasmus+ BIP are short, intensive programmes that use innovative ways of learning and teaching, including the use of online cooperation. These programmes for students and staff must comprise a short-term physical mobility abroad combined with a compulsory virtual component, facilitating a collaborative online learning exchange and teamwork. The programmes have to be developed and implemented by at least three partners from Erasmus+ programme countries, and in this case, at least two universities from the Arqus Alliance. BIPs have been designed and are funded by the Erasmus+ programme.
• Twinning 2.0 is an international mobility initiative involving groups from two Arqus universities, made up of 1 lecturer and 3-5 students each, reciprocally visiting each other’s partner institution to carry out a common programme and share mutual learning experiences.

Selection criteria

• Learning outcomes (clearly explained and linked to the field of study of the students and/or the tasks carried on by the staff);
• Implementation strategies;
• Innovativeness of the contents and/or methods;
• Sustainability of the action (follow-up and further development of the project);
• Expected impact on the participants and the institution;
• Applications related to the main Arqus II themes (European Identity heritage, digital transformation and artificial intelligence, climate change and environmental sustainability) are prioritised. Applications based on other topics will also be considered.
