A Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) is a short, intensive programme that use innovative ways of learning and teaching, including the use of online cooperation. By enabling new and more flexible mobility formats that combine physical mobility with a virtual part, blended intensive programmes aim at reaching all types of students from all backgrounds, study fields and cycles. Groups of higher education institutions will have the opportunity to organise short blended intensive programmes of learning, teaching and training for students and staff. During these blended intensive programmes, groups of studentsor staff will undertake a short-term physical mobility abroad combined with a compulsory virtual component facilitating collaborative online learning exchange and teamwork.

I docenti ed i responsabili di struttura di Ateneo che volessero partecipare ad un Blended Intensive Programme possono farlo sia in qualità di coordinatori che in qualità di partner.
In entrambi casi è necessario partecipare a specifiche Call (Manifestazioni di Interesse) che vengono pubblicate annulamente dal nostro ufficio, per progetti BIP da realizzarsi entro il biennio di riferimento .
All’interno di ciascuna Call sono specificate le modalità di richiesta e fruizione del BIP.
This Blended Intensive Program is aimed at students with an interest in natural language semantics and pragmatics, and in language-related cognitive capacities. It explores how the requirement of informativeness shapes the grammar of speech acts and affects our reasoning from premises.
The first section (Siena) introduces a distinction between the inquisitive and the informative potential of different sentence types: the former – which characterizes mainly, but not exclusively, interrogatives – consists in proffering a set of alternatives, while the latter – which characterizes declaratives – consists in selecting one of the proffered alternatives.
The second section (Paris) discusses how this alternative-based view explains some mechanisms that are at play in reasoning from premises, and in particular, some “natural” logical fallacies that subjects incur in systematically.
The third section (Siena/Nova Gorica) discusses recent theories of interpretive mechanisms according to which there is a natural tendency in grammar towards maximazing informativeness, and logically trivial declaratives (i.e., tautologies and contradictions), being non-informative, do not qualify as well-formed linguistic expressions.
The module will equip students with formal tools for exploring the various notions of information underlying these hypotheses, also highlighting the philosophical significance of the topic.

Pancreatic benign and neoplastic diseases are gaining more and more interests in the scientific community, due to their increasing incidence and high aggressiveness. Given the peculiarity of the pancreatic gland, an interdisciplinary management provided by a pool of specialists is mandatory. The classical academic curriculum does not include in-depth analysis of the pancreatic physiology and pathology, work-up of patients with pancreatic diseases, treatments and follow-up.
The Program seeks to comprehend the intricate relationships that underlie the management of pancreatic patients and aims to inspire future gastroenterologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, oncologists and other physicians for potential specialization in Pancreatology, with strong focus on critical analysis of scientific literature. The Program will also grant access to an extensive network of senior and junior doctors across Europe, and create opportunity for research and inter-active work in the field around pancreatic diseases. The network collaboration includes three European centers that have all a special focus on pancreatology and pancreatic surgery: the University of Siena (Italy), the Medical University of Vienna (Austria) and the University of Luebeck (Germany).
The University of Siena is inviting you to the Erasmus + Blended Intensive programme “ DIVINES - Diversity and Inclusion for Erasmus Staff” organized by the International Relations Office in collaboration with the CUG , the University Committee for equal opportunities, workplace ' well-being and non-discrimination.
The physical component of the BIP will take place between March 3rd and 7th, 2025 in Siena.
The virtual component will be held online on the 6th and 13th of February, 2025. A follow up session will be held on March 13rd, 2025
The main aim of this BIP is mutual learning among HEI’s administrative structures, bodies and academic representatives who deal with issues of inclusion, gender equality and well-being at work .
A week of workshops and job shadowing on these topics with colleagues from other European partner universities will be of fruitful importance for having a differentiated vision of gender and inclusion policies at university level and their implementation at a practical and administrative level .
Application deadline is January 31st, 2025.
