The 4EU+ Pilot Central Call on Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) 2025 supports the development of innovative educational projects involving at least three 4EU+ partner institutions. These projects must incorporate online cooperation, student-centered problem-based learning, and provide added value over existing courses. Previous project teams funded by 4EU+ are eligible to apply, provided they follow the BIP format.
The pilot call aims to enhance research-based teaching, student engagement, digital skills, and pedagogical innovation. It also aligns with 4EU+’s strategic goal to offer all students at member universities access to at least one educational component during their degree programs.
