Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programs (BIPs) are teaching or learning formats that combine a physical group mobility (5-30 days) and a virtual component. A BIP involves at least three universities from three different Erasmus+ program countries.
If you are interested in participating, you can obtain initial information about BIPs planned at or with the University of Graz at: erasmus.outgoing(at)uni-graz.at. Approved BIPs are advertised directly at the respective institutes and announced by the BIP coordinators (e.g. on the institute's website, through distribution lists, in courses, etc.).
Interested teachers can find more information on the general conditions and deadlines for BIPs on the University of Graz intranet.
BIP coordinators will be happy to inform you if there are still available Erasmus+ funded places. The selection or nomination is also done by the BIP coordinator at the respective institute.

Requirements
- Regular studies at the University of Graz (no Erasmus+ incoming students)
- Maximum duration of stay of 12 months for Erasmus+ stays per study level (bachelor, master, doctorate) or 24 months (diploma studies) not yet exceeded
- Minimum study performance of 3 ECTS, which are recognized in the studies at the University of Graz
- Duration of stay of at least 5 and at most 30 days
- No mobility to the country where students usually stay
- Active employment relationship with the University of Graz during the mobility: Specific procedure (doctoral students affected should immediately report their employment to the Office of International Relations for the next steps)
- No double funding
Financial support
You will receive a mobility grant to cover the increased cost of living in the host country. To receive this grant, you have to be physically present at the host institution.
Important: no double funding
Double funding for one and the same activity from EU funds or grants directly financed by the BMBWF or other Austrian federal agencies is not permitted.
Receiving an Austrian or foreign study grant, foreign grant or provincial grant does not constitute double funding.
Daily allowance
| Duration of physical mobility | Daily allowance in Euro |
| 5-14 days | 79 € |
| 15-30 days | 56 € |
- The grant will be paid in two installments: 75% before the stay and 25% after the completion of the BIP, when all completion documents have been submitted.
- If no Green Mobility top-up is requested (see point 2 b), one travel day before the activity and one travel day after the activity will also be covered by the grant. This only applies if these two days are for travel only and no other/different BIP activities are undertaken on these two days.
Example of a BIP itinerary: Arrival on Sunday, Monday through Friday BIP (teaching) activities, field trip on Saturday (counts as activity day), departure on Sunday.
Top-ups (= additional financial support)
(a) Students with fewer opportunities, including:
- Students with children in need of care who travel to the study/internship site.are taken with them
- Students with disabilities
- Students with health problems (e.g. serious illnesses, chronic illnesses or other physical or mental conditions that prevent or hinder participation in the programme) if this results in increased financial expenditure during the study abroad period (compared to a mobility period in the home country) -this health condition must already exist before the start of the mobility period. Allergies and food intolerances are excluded
| Duration of physical mobility | One-time top-up in Euro |
| 5-14 days | 100 € |
| From 15 days | 150 € |
b) Travel cost:
From the academic year 2024/25 on, Erasmus+ students will have the possibility to apply for travel support, calculated by the Erasmus+ Distance Calculator. The distance between the University of Graz to your host institution (or, if applicable, to the campus you will study at abroad) will be taken into account.
Students, that travel more than half of the way (back and forth) with a green mean of transport (bus, bike, carpooling, train), will get a higher travel support. For green travel, up to 6 additional granted traveldays may be awarded. One travelday is one calendar day.
Below 500 km, please consider travelling with low-emission means of transport (green travel)!
For students, who will go abroad with the Erasmus+ program in the academic year 2025/26, the following applies:
In case you receive travel support from other funding sources (e.g. travel grant as part of the Austrian study grant for stays abroad, BAföG, etc.), you are not eligible for the Erasmus+ travel support.
We will send you detailed information about the eligibility for travel support via email.
c) Inclusion support:
Inclusion support is used (in addition to top-up) to cover additional financial costs incurred primarily by participants with physical, mental or health impairments. Costs are billed on a real cost basis. Please contact the Office of International Relations for more information: erasmus.outgoing(at)uni-graz.at.
Application for the grant and steps to the stay.
Initial information is available to students at: erasmus.outgoing(at)uni-graz.at.
