PIONEER BIP - Staff Week Creating a Welcoming Open Campus for International Students
The Programme aims at delivering Intercultural Training for Academic and Administrative Staff to Improve Support to International Students on Pioneer Open Campus. The training will help administrative and academic staff to make international students develop a feeling of belonging to their host campus and to foster their academic success.
Besides the plenary sessions to share diagnosis of the situation in the participants’ universities, two parallel streams of workshops respectively targeted for administrative and teaching staff will be organised. Each will enable participants to collectively address issues, share and co-create good practices within Pioneer and with external partners.
- Uni Eiffel – COORDINATOR / HOST INSTITUTION
- All PIONEER Partners + Uni Eiffel EU and Non-EU Partners
Academic and Administrative Staff working in contact with international students and on student exchanges are most welcomed, especially those working on Interculturality – International Mobility – Higher Education in Intercultural Setting.
Staff Week is conducted entirely in English, but does not require a very advanced level of English.
The BIP consists of 2 online sessions:
- 05/03/2027 11:00-12:00 AM CET (Paris Time)
- 18/03/2027 10:00-12:00 AM CET (Paris Time)
As well as an intensive in-person session on the Descartes campus of Gustave Eiffel University from May 24, 2027, to May 28,2027. This mobility will be organised as an Erasmus+ BIP and therefore, it is mandatory to participate in both the virtual and the on-site components.
The application and selection procedures for the BIP are determined by each partner university.
Applicants must contact the mobility offices at their universities, which will send a list of nominated participants to Uni Eiffel by February 24, 2027, at 1:30 p.m. CET (Paris time).

Blended Intensive Programs (BIPs) are a new opportunity offered by the Erasmus+ program. These programs consist of remote participation sessions (via video conference) combined with an intensive in-person stay of at least 5 days at the program’s host university. BIPs are open to students, doctoral candidates, faculty members, and staff.
