Travel insurance
The conditions of the Erasmus + programme imply that the student is obliged to contract a medical insurance valid for the destination country for the duration of the stay abroad. It must include health insurance (medical expenses), liability insurance and accident insurance (for traineeship).
The student submits a copy of the contract or the original confirmation of the agreed travel insurance (from-to) for the entire period of study abroad to the Grant Agreement
Even if a student has a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), this does not mean that health care abroad is free. An EHIC issued in the Czech Republic in the EU covers necessary health care, under the conditions given by the local health system. In most countries, you pay extra for health care and medicines, the amounts can be very high, co-payment or medical transport back to the Czech Republic, which is not covered by health insurance, is paid. Therefore, the student must have travel insurance arranged before leaving for a study stay.

A student who participates in a study stay abroad within the Erasmus + program remains a student of a Czech university for the entire period of their stay at a foreign university.
Grant Agreement
We recommend to start the procedure of the signing of the Grand Agreement in advance (at least 2-3 weeks before departure). In case of late delivery of all documents, the scholarship may not be paid on time and the student may have complications with further administration.
Before departure, the student must be duly registered to study at EDISON, otherwise it will not be possible to generate a participant contract in the system.
