• Promote international cooperation
• Develop digital, intercultural, and professional competences
• Include learners who might otherwise not participate in long-term mobility programmes
• Reach students from diverse backgrounds, study fields, and education cycles

• At least three Erasmus+ partner universities from three different programme countries (DIT + 2 Erasmus partner universities) participate in planning and implementing the BIP: HEROES Universities will be prioritized. See list: https://www.th-deg.de/auslandsaufenthalte#partnerunis
• A minimum of 10 mobile learners take part in the on-site learning phase. (We recommend between 15 – 20 participants)
• Participants must earn at least 3 ECTS credits, which should be recognized by their home institution.
• The physical mobility should be at least 5 days and can be up to 30 days. The virtual part can be carried out before and/or after the physical part.
• Participants from universities in third countries may join but do not receive Erasmus+ funding and do not count towards minimum funding thresholds.
• Open to students at all levels as well as university staff.

• Participants receive Erasmus+ funding from their sending institution for the physical mobility phase, covering travel and living expenses.
• University staff involved in BIPs (as lecturers or organizers) may also be eligible for Erasmus+ funding.
• A "Green Travel" bonus may be granted for sustainable travel choices (e.g., train or bus instead of plane), offering slightly higher lump sums.
• DIT can be the organizer/coordinating university (BIP Incoming to DIT) or a partner sending out students and staff.
• As coordinating university there is Erasmus+ funding for excursions, cultural activities etc.
