Apply to the new joint calls for Arqus BIPs and Twinnings 2.0!

Arqus is pleased to announce the launch of a joint call for Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) and Arqus Twinning 2.0 projects. These two initiatives are addressing academic staff interested in strengthening collaboration among Alliance members while proposing short-term mobility opportunities for both students and staff.

You can now apply to any of these programmes. Keep in mind that the call for both programmes are open until next 31 May 2026:

• BIP (Blended Intensive Programmes) 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 3 partners from Erasmus+ programme countries, and in this case, at least 2 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.
