INSURANCE

THE CONSORTIUM COORDINATOR INSURES ALL THE STUDENTS according to the minimum requirements set up by the european union

The Consortium Coordinator insures all the selected students the day of their registration to guarantee that the cover will be effective by the time the students start their journey to participate in the Programme.

The selected insurance scheme covers the students in Europe and in third countries. The cover includes all worldwide travel required for the participation in the EDAMUS programme following the EACEA “Minimum requirements for the health and accident insurance coverage”.

The current insurance offer selected by the coordinator is managed by MEP.

The cost of this insurance (about 600 € per year) is included in the participation costs / training fees.

POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL LOCAL INSURANCES

It may happen that national laws in some countries require the students to subscribe an additional local insurance.

The student has to afford the cost of this insurance himself/herself.
