Students aiming to gain international academic exposure in Europe now have a powerful opportunity through the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) Mobility Grants 2026. This funded short-term mobility scheme allows selected students to travel abroad, participate in intensive academic programmes, and earn recognized academic credits while receiving financial support.
The Erasmus+ BIP initiative combines short-term physical mobility abroad with a virtual learning component, enabling participants to experience international education, collaborate across borders, and strengthen their academic profiles without paying additional tuition fees at host universities.
Selected candidates will participate in international programmes hosted across European partner universities between May 2026 and September 2026, with all activities scheduled to conclude by July 2027 depending on the selected programme.
