The Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) allows you to realize international mobility in a combination of physical and virtual activities. Its aim is to create joint educational events for groups of students and university staff within international connections. The university is involved in the preparation and implementation of the programme as a coordinator (lead organiser) or as a participant. The costs of organising the programme are covered by the coordinator from the funds provided by the grant of the relevant Erasmus+ call. The costs of incoming participants are covered by the sending organisation.

Training School on Multi-Stakeholder Engagement and Knowledge Sharing (2–5 September, 2025; Ústí nad Labem)

The training school was organised as part of the SHiFT COST Action (https://shift-cost.eu) with an aim to address the current and future challenges and issues facing the region, its specific parts and local actors. The school focused on the following questions:

• How to unite the voices of the powerful few, the active minority, the passive majority, and those often left behind?
• To what extent is ‘just transition’ really just in terms of opportunities for local people to participate in the change processes?
• What development paths are imagined by various groups of local actors after the shift away from carbon-intensive industries?
• What kind of considerations of justice can be found in those imaginations?
• What is the role of different local and regional actors in the (re)shaping of degraded landscapes?
• Whose voices and which concerns can be heard, and how does participation take place?
