Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) Lingen 2023
at the University of Zagreb, Croatia
The successful first BIP 2022 in Lingen is now followed by the edition in Zagreb!
The International Short-term Programme at the University of Zagreb, Croatia from 14-20.05.2023
In 2023, the Faculty of Management, Culture and Technology at the Lingen Campus will participate in the international short-term programme in the form of an Erasmus+ "Blended Intensive Programme", BIP for short, which will take place at the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Zagreb/Croatia. The Blended Intensive Programme is the result of an innovation in the Erasmus+ programme generation 2021-2027. This aims to promote the use of innovative learning and teaching methods and to exploit the possibilities of online collaboration. The development of short and intensive curricula and joint activities offers students from participating HEIs the opportunity to participate in a virtual teaching phase combined with a short on-site programme phase. In the Erasmus+ funded BIP 2023, current aspects in International Business are highlighted and analysed in interactive and intercultural workshops and events. In cooperation with the University of Zagreb and the Oporto Global University students from three countries will meet in Zagreb after an online learning phase from 14-20 May 2023 to immerse themselves in the field of international business together.
The Programme
10 students each from Croatia, Portugal and Germany work and experience a week intensively together in Zagreb and before that in online mode to learn a lot about the structures of the international business world and its impact. The forward-looking programme explores business models in the context of the United Nations. Students learn about a wide range of social, cultural, legal and political issues that affect the strategy and operations of global companies through a mix of traditional lectures, case studies, literature studies, films as well as visits to partners and with the help of guest speakers. The special thing about it is that the individual topics are taught by guest lecturers from the project partner countries, so that intercultural experience is also acquired. Challenges that need to be overcome in a global context are identified. This also includes an analysis of current events.
In the online part of the BIP, there will be a preparatory workshop that will prepare all participants for the week together in Croatia and help them to get to know each other. Varied leisure activities and probably a weekend trip to the Croatian coast round off the programme during the mobility week in Zagreb. The international participants get to know each other through professional cooperation, accompanied by social activities such as city tours, sports, cooking and barbecue evenings.
The schedule for the Blended Intensive Progamme Zagreb 2023 will be available for download here as soon as it becomes available.
