An Erasmus BIP refers to a Blended Intensive Programme. These are short, intensive programmes that use innovative ways of learning and teaching, including the use of online cooperation.

How it works

A BIP takes place in a blended format which means that a short-term physical mobility abroad is combined with a compulsory virtual component facilitating collaborative online learning exchange and teamwork.

What happens

A BIP typically involves a short but intensive period of joint learning and collaboration among students and staff from different European countries.

Activities

A BIP includes face-to-face activities, such as workshops, seminars, or cultural events, combined with online elements of collective and simultaneous teamwork to enhance the overall learning experience. 

The goal is to foster intercultural understanding, collaboration, and the exchange of knowledge among participants.

The eligibility criteria of an Erasmus BIP are:

• At least 3 higher education institutions from 3 different programme countries, including the coordinating institution;

• Minimum of 15 participants from the partner institutions (excluding coordinating participants);

• Duration of physical mobility is between 5 and 30 days. Physical mobility is funded by the sending institution;

• Compulsory virtual activity with no defined duration (not funded);

• Obligation to provide added value by incorporating innovative teaching and learning practices.

How to purchase a ticket with a contactless bank card

You can use all Mastercard, Maestro, Visa and Visa Electron bank cards with contactless interfaces in public transport. You can check whether the card has a contactless interface by looking for the relevant logo on the card.

Contactless bank card can be used in all public transport where the validator includes the logo of contactless payment. The card owner must ensure that the validator has the logo of their bank card. As a rule, such a validator is by the front door of the vehicle. A contactless bank card will not work in other validators – not for buying a ticket or for validating an existing one.

You can only use a contactless bank card to buy a 1-hour Tallinn ticket from the public transport validator, discount tickets are not available. Hour tickets are recalculated into day tickets the same way as with buying a ticket with the Ühiskaart – upon buying three or more hour tickets over a day, hour tickets are automatically replaced with one day ticket.
