Is insurance included in an Erasmus+ mobility?
No. Under Article 5 of the Erasmus+ grant agreement for VET traineeships, every participant must have adequate insurance before the mobility starts, arranged by the sending organisation or the participant: health insurance (the European Health Insurance Card covers basic care in Portugal; a complementary policy is recommended), liability insurance for damage the participant may cause at the workplace, and accident insurance for injuries at the workplace. The Learning Agreement records how each cover has been organised. Tell us which policies your school uses and we will check that the host company's requirements are met.
