At the University of Coimbra, maintaining valid insurance coverage throughout the entire research period is compulsory.
Visiting researchers, who are not enrolled at the institution and thus not included in the University’s student insurance, are required to obtain private insurance providing at least the same minimum coverage as the University of Coimbra’s student insurance, valid for the full duration of their stay.
In this context, and for demonstration purposes, the basic coverage offered by the University of Coimbra’s student insurance includes the following:
• Maximum amount for medical expenses: €10,000
• Maximum amount for death or permanent disability: €35,000
• Maximum amount for Student civil liability: €5,000
• Maximum amount for University of Coimbra’s civil liability: €25,000
• Maximum amount for funeral expenses: €5,000
• Maximum amount for repatriation expenses: €3,000
Should the researcher consider that these conditions do not fully meet his/her needs, they must arrange for alternative or additional insurance coverage.
