Overview
Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași invites students around the world to explore their interest and passion for Life Sciences. Designed to deepen both theoretical understanding and practical expertise, this program focuses on advancing your skills in interdisciplinary experimental techniques and data analysis surrounding research of biomolecules.
The curriculum offers a diverse array of topics, including bioinformatics and DNA barcoding, the structural biology of proteins, the physiological roles and activity of enzymes, innovative approaches to combating antimicrobial resistance, as well as your very own first-hand experience in advanced techniques like, peptide chemistry, separation methods, structural mass spectrometry, modeling and 3D printing of protein structures and genetic sequencing.
This module provides a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and applications in Life Sciences, fostering a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying health and disease.
Who can apply: The program is designed for students (Bachelor, Master, or PhD) who are interested in Life Sciences. Students will ble able to participate only if they have confirmed the possibility to acknowledge/transfer BIP programme as C (or other) part study course. (Please confirm this with your academic advisor and programme director. Template in Latvian. Template in English)
Priority: For students participating in a BIP program first time and for students of the required background.
BIP includes both virtual and on-site component (both must be attended obligatory):
Online: The virtual component will consist in 2 meetings: First Online Meeting, (one day between 1-4 July) and Second Online Meeting (one day between 21-25 July).

By submitting applications students apply for taking part in the project and also for the Erasmus+ scholarship. The scholarship will be provided for the face-to-face activity days partially covering your expenses (food, transport expenses, etc.). Scholarship for 7 days face-to-face program will be 763 EUR in total or 109 EUR per day. If the traveling to the host university takes place at least one day prior to the start of the program and returns – the next day after the program, there will be travel compensation for these 2 days (up to 309 EUR) after submitting documents confirming traveling dates.
Submit an application at OutgoingExchange.rtu.lv, uploading the RTU Transcript of records for all completed semesters, CV (in English), as well as any proof of English language skills.
In case of questions regarding the scholarship, contact RTU International Mobility Unit via paula.ivanovaite@rtu.lv.
Please take into account these important rules:
- Two Erasmus scholarship periods can’t overlap!
- Students can participate in one BIP program only at the same time!
- Do not apply for another BIP program if both periods overlap!
- The full period of the BIP program means the full duration of the program – virtual learning + physical mobility!
- Students can’t combine the semester mobility and participation in BIP within the same period of time!
All participants must make sure that their participation will not cause issues in the ongoing semester courses at RTU (please confirm this with your lecturers and academic advisors).
