The 2nd edition of this Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) starts online on 2 June, with face-to-face sessions taking place from 16 to 20 June at the University of Minho, Guimarães (Portugal).

UMinho invites Arqus academics and students to collaborate in the co-creation and implementation of the initiative “Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) Mentoring Programme – Turning Ideas into Businesses”

A partner is responsible for a group of students enrolled in the BIP (2 to 4) and also may contribute on the course design and/or the classes with materials and/or tutors for both the online and face-to-face activities. Together, the different partners will constitute a network for new BIPs and further joint activities in the context of university innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems.

A BIP is an innovative form of learning, teaching and training which offers an intensive learning experience using both physical and virtual components. It represents an opportunity to co-create curriculum and activities through a collaborative approach among the partner institutions.

This BIP aims to promote the sharing of experiences and good practices in the process of transforming ideas into businesses, namely through the stages: 1) Innovation creativity and value proposition, 2) Client development and market analysis, 3) Business model design, 4) Business evaluation, creation, launching and management.
