Its core idea is to create a space where students can experiment with different forms of academic communication\, exchange perspectives\, and reflect on how communication works in international and multicultural contexts. \nA central focus is on developing practical competencies: delivering interactive seminar presentations\, participating constructively in discussions\, tailoring communication to diverse audiences\, and giving and receiving feedback across cultural boundaries. Students also explore intercultural communication frameworks and apply them directly in international teams. \nBy blending online sessions with an intensive on‑site week in Karlsruhe\, the programme offers a dynamic learning environment that supports independent\, collaborative\, and inquiry‑based learning. Depending on the interests of the cohort\, outcomes may include short texts\, presentations\, posters\, digital contributions\, or joint reflection pieces—laying the groundwork for future international collaboration. \nHow you will learn\nLearning activities combine interactive workshops\, group projects\, discussions\, and guided self‑study\, creating a dynamic environment for experimenting with academic communication in an international context. You will work in diverse\, cross‑cultural teams throughout both the virtual and on‑site phases. \nYour learning journey unfolds in several modes: \n\nCollaborative exploration You engage in groupwork with international peers\, developing presentations\, short texts\, multimodal outputs\, and applied communication projects.\nInteractive practice Through seminar presentations\, peer feedback\, and structured discussions\, you practice tailoring communication to different audiences and contexts.\nIntercultural analysis You apply intercultural communication frameworks—such as Erin Meyer’s dimensions—to understand how communication styles vary across cultures and how to navigate them effectively.\nReflection and metacognition Reflection is embedded throughout the programme: you participate in self‑assessment activities\, peer evaluation\, and guided reflection sessions to deepen your understanding of your own communication strategies.\n\nBy combining synchronous online sessions with an intensive on‑site week\, the programme supports independent\, collaborative\, and inquiry‑based learning—building a sustainable international learning community that continues beyond the BIP itself. \nCompetences you will develop\n\nAcademic communication across formats: presenting\, discussing\, and adapting messages to diverse audiences.\nIntercultural collaboration: working effectively in international teams using established communication frameworks.\nDigital and multimodal communication: using online and hybrid formats confidently.\nFeedback & reflection skills: giving\, receiving\, and integrating feedback across cultures.\nInclusive and globally aware communication:  navigating diverse perspectives with sensitivity and clarity.\n\nLearning Outcomes\nAfter successful completion of the BIP\, students will be able to: \n\nLO1. Deliver clear\, engaging and interactive seminar presentations that communicate academic content effectively across disciplines.\nLO2. Participate constructively and critically in academic discussions\, contributing well‑reasoned arguments and responding to diverse viewpoints.\nLO3. Analyze and apply intercultural communication frameworks (e.g.\, Erin Meyer’s dimensions) to navigate cultural differences in academic and collaborative settings.\nLO4. Tailor verbal and written communication to diverse audiences\, adapting tone\, structure and format to context\, purpose and cultural background.\nLO5. Give and receive feedback effectively across cultural boundaries\, using structured reflection to improve their own communication strategies.\n\nBIP’s Programme\nVirtual component (online activities)\nPeriod: 05 October – 25 November 2026Schedule: Mondays–Wednesdays\, 18:00–19:30 (CET) \nSessions: \nSession 1: Programme introduction\, intercultural icebreaking & expectations \nSession 2: Foundations of academic communication in international contexts \nSession 3: Discussion and argumentation strategies \nSession 4: Written\, oral and multimodal academic expression \nSession 5: Intercultural communication frameworks (e.g.\, Erin Meyer’s dimensions) \nSession 6: Tailoring communication to diverse audiences \nSession 7: Giving and receiving feedback across cultures \nSession 8: Preparation for on‑site group projects and presentations \nDuration: Online lectures\, synchronous sessions\, guided self‑study and group work = approx. 50 hours (part of the total 140 hours / 5 ECTS) \nPhysical component (on-site at HKA) \nPeriod: 30 November – 4 December 2026Location: Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences (HKA) \nProgramme / Contents: \n\nInteractive workshops and seminars on academic communication\, presentation strategies\, and intercultural collaboration\nTeam-based applied projects in international groups\, building on the work from the virtual phase\nPractice-focused sessions on written\, oral and multimodal academic expression\nGuided discussions and peer-feedback activities to strengthen critical engagement and communication across cultures\nCultural visits and cross‑institutional exchange\, fostering international community building\nPreparation and delivery of student presentations\, including structured peer and self‑evaluation\n\nDuration: 5 days = 40 hours of on-site activities \nApplication requirements\nTo apply for this BIP you must: \n\nBe enrolled at one of the INGENIUM partner universities at the time of the programme.\nApply through your home (sending) institution.\nHave a sufficient level of English (typically B2 or equivalent).\nBe available to participate in both the virtual and physical components of the BIP.\nMeet any specific academic or eligibility requirements indicated for this programme.\n\nAs this BIP includes a physical mobility period hosted at HKA (Karlsruhe\, Germany)\, it is intended for students coming from other INGENIUM partner institutions.

In this context\, there are ESG management tools\, the use of which by a company can guarantee that: the path that begins with the selection of the issues for which it will implement responsibility and sustainability actions\, and ends with the publication of a sustainability report\, will create shared value for the company itself and its stakeholders. \nMoreover\, EU rules require large companies and listed companies to publish regular reports on the social and environmental risks they face\, and on how their activities impact people and  the environment. \nThe Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) updates the rules concerning the social and environmental information that companies have to report. Companies subject to the CSRD will have to report according to European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). \nLearning Outcomes\n\nLO1. Explain the motivations\, frameworks\, and business strategies underpinning corporate responsibility and sustainable development in a global context\nLO2. Apply the ESG (Environment – Society – Governance) triptych and related management tools to analyse and develop sustainability strategies for companies\nLO3. Understand and navigate the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)\, European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)\, and the VSME standard for SMEs\nLO4. Analyse real-world case studies of corporate responsibility and sustainability\, evaluating their impact on reputation\, competitiveness\, stakeholder relations\, and access to sustainable finance\nLO5. Collaborate effectively with peers from diverse disciplinary and cultural backgrounds to address shared challenges in sustainable development and corporate responsibility\n\nBIP’s Programme\nVirtual component (online activities)\nPeriod: November & December 2026 (two days prior to on-site visit and one after) \nSchedule / Contents: Dates to be announced \nPhysical component (on-site at UoC) \nPeriod: 30 November – 4 December 2026 \nProgramme / Contents:  \n\nDay 1 — “Introducing sustainability into business practice: The rise of ESG”\, Constantine Manasakis (Associate Professor\, University of Crete).\nDay 2 — “Strategy\, value\, and sustainable business models”\, Danilo Brozović (Associate Professor\, University of Skövde).\nDay 3 — “Corporate governance mechanisms\, ESG engagement\, and firm value”\, Silvia Gómez Ansón (Professor\, University of Oviedo).\nDay 4 —“Reporting ESG performance”\, Constantine Manasakis (Associate Professor\, University of Crete).\nDay 5 — Study visit at the Natural History Museum of Crete – University of Crete (https://www.nhmc.uoc.gr/en/): Focusing to climate change and biodiversity.\n\nDuration: 5 days \nApplication requirements\nTo apply for this BIP you must: \n\nBe enrolled at one of the INGENIUM partner universities at the time of the programme.\nApply through your home (sending) institution.\nBe available to participate in both the virtual and physical components of the BIP.\n\nHow to apply\nApplications for this BIP are managed by each INGENIUM partner university. \nTo apply\, please select your home university from the list below and follow the application process indicated on their page.
