Blended intensive programmes (BIP) are short, intensive programmes that use innovative ways of learning, teaching and training for students and staff including the use of online cooperation.
During this BIP, a diverse group of academic researchers, involved in or with the potential to supervise doctoral theses, primarily from the Aurora Alliance, will participate in a short-term mobility experience at Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona, Spain, from July 7 to 11, 2025. This immersive in-person week will be complemented by a virtual component, fostering collaborative online learning, knowledge exchange, and teamwork. Participants will engage in interactive workshops, roundtable discussions, and collaborative exercises aimed at enhancing their supervisory skills and understanding of best practices in doctoral education. The combination of face-to-face and virtual components will encourage a dynamic exchange of ideas and experiences, enriching the learning experience for all involved.
