Mobility

As part of its mission and scope, UNITA promotes new forms of student mobility, including Blended Intensive programmes, Virtual and Rural Mobility.

Virtual Mobility

Virtual Mobility offers students enrolled at UNITA universities the opportunity to attend online courses provided by other universities in the alliance. Activities carried out and results obtained at the host institution will be fully recognized by the home institution.

Virtual Mobility Call 2025

The Virtual Mobility call to participate in courses scheduled in the academic year 2025–2026 is launched by the UNITA universities in May 2025.

For this 25-26 edition, students will have access to the online course in European citizenship, to a wide range of language courses—including Italian, Spanish, Romanian, French and  Intercomprehension—as well as disciplinary and thematic courses offered by partner institutions, including some Universities of the of the GEMINAE network in Latin America.

Blended Intensive Programmes

Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) allow HEI students and university staff to carry out an international experience that combines short-term physical mobility abroad (from 5 to 30 days) with a compulsory virtual component facilitating a collaborative online learning exchange and teamwork.

The UNITA Erasmus BIPs aim at bringing together groups of students and/or staff from at least three higher education institutions belonging to the UNITA - Universitas Montium alliance.

The programmes may include challenge based learning where international and multidisciplinary teams work together to tackle challenges for example those linked to the sustainable development goals or other societal challenges identified by regions, cities or companies.

By enabling new and more flexible mobility formats that combine physical mobility with a virtual part, BIPs aim at reaching all types of students from all backgrounds, study fields and cycles. 

The key figures for BIPs:

- A program combining online learning activities and physical mobility lasting from 5 to 30 days
- Innovative teaching and learning
- Minimum of 15 international participants
- Minimum of 3 institutions from 3 different countries (E+ program countries)
- Minimum 3 ECTS credits awarded

Recognition of ECTS will follow the Erasmus+ scheme (Learning agreement before and after the mobility) according to local processes in the participating Universities.
