University collaboration in creating and implementing innovative intensive programme focussed on ICT

Abstract

This paper deals with the conceptual issues of creating and implementing an innovative intensive study program based on the partnership of universities from several European countries. A model of such an interdisciplinary programme focussed on information and communication technology (ICT) is considered, with particular attention to the transnational and intercultural context. Blended mobility, student teamwork and project-based learning as interconnected components of the programme are elaborated. Two created and implemented study programmes supported by Erasmus, the EU Programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sports, are presented as case studies.
