Between 4 and 6 November 2026, the international workshop Blended Intensive Programmes Volume 3: Ensuring a High-Quality Experience for the Participants took place in Ljubljana, organised by CMEPIUS – Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programmes. Urška Horvat, a member of staff at the International Office of Academia, attended the workshop on behalf of Academia Institute of Technology.
The three-day meeting was dedicated to the exchange of knowledge, experience and good practice in the field of Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP), which are one of the forms of international mobility within the Erasmus+ programme.
An important part of the meeting was the exchange of experience with participants from other countries, including Serbia, Croatia and Romania. In discussions and group work, we compared the approaches of different institutions, shared experiences in implementing international mobility, and learnt about the challenges and good practices in individual countries.
Emphasis on High-Quality Participant Experience
The central focus of the workshop was on identifying challenges in the planning and implementation of BIPs and finding solutions for a high-quality experience for all participants. Particular attention was given to improving the virtual component of the programmes, which complements physical mobility and enables additional international collaboration between students and higher education institutions.
The programme included presentations of new developments and current information in the field of BIPs, discussions on the most common challenges in their implementation, and practical workshops dedicated to the development of virtual activities. Participants also addressed the question of how to design and establish their own Blended Intensive Programmes with attractive content and added value for students.
Such meetings are an important opportunity for acquiring new knowledge, strengthening international partnerships and further developing high-quality Erasmus+ activities. At the same time, they contribute to even better opportunities for international cooperation, networking and mobility of students and staff in higher education.
