Health Insurance

The participants themselves are responsible for the insurance costs from the grant received for the realization of the mobility activity, if not covered by other means.

· Health Insurance Coverage [Mandatory for studies and traineeships]

Basic health insurance coverage might be provided by the national health insurance of the student during his/her stay in another country. However, the coverage of the basic health Insurance or private insurance may not be sufficient, especially in case of repatriation and specific medical intervention. In that case, a complementary private insurance might be useful. The University of Macedonia does not cover health insurance for International Students.

· General Liability Insurance Coverage for Third Party [Optional for studies, mandatory for traineeships]

The Participant must have General Liability Insurance Coverage for Third Party concerning personal injury and / or damages caused by her / him as a person in the course of ordinary activities in the workplace/study place resulting from accidents at work place, during his/her stay abroad in an eligible country under the Erasmus+ Programme. The General Liability Insurance for Third Party cannot be provided by the the University of Macedonia.

· Personal Accident Insurance coverage [Optional for studies, mandatory for traineeships]

Personal Accident Insurance coverage is related to the student's tasks (covering at least damages caused to the student at the study place/ workplace):

Personal Accident Insurance coverage is not provided by the Host Institution (University of Macedonia), the Participant is covered by private insurance from his/ her own resources concerning personal injury and / or damages caused to her / him as a person in the course of ordinary activities at the study place/workplace resulting from accidents, during his/her stay abroad in an eligible country under the Erasmus+ Programme (this type of insurance is highly recommended).

The Participants should ask if the Sending Institution (Home Institution) covers any type of the above mentioned types of Insurance, otherwise the participants themselves are responsible for their insurance.    

Before the Mobility

All parties must sign the Learning Agreement before the start of the mobility. The purpose of the Learning Agreement is to provide a transparent and efficient preparation of the study or traineeship period abroad(adequate information is being provided to all students before the mobility).
