Student Wellbeing Systems

Building Peer-Support Structures in Higher Education

The Erasmus+ BIP brings together higher education professionals and selected student representatives to explore, develop and enhance student wellbeing systems, with a special focus on student-driven approaches.

Based on USTP’s long-running, peer-supported initiative Peers4You, the programme focuses on practical exchange, real-life case discussions, and institutional development.

We especially encourage participants with already established systems to contribute and share their experiences during one of the four external keynote sessions.

Programme Overview

The programme’s structure combines virtual onboarding (September) with a five‑day physical component in St. Pölten:

  • Short virtual session to get to know each other, align expectations and analyse a shared real-world case.
  • On-site intensive week with keynotes, expert sessions, institutional case exchanges, and interactive workshops.
