Services for PhD students

Insurance policy

PhD programs are covered by both an INAIL insurance policy and a liability insurance policy (RCT/RCO).

In the event of an accident, the PhD student must:

  • Promptly submit the documentation concerning the accident together with a medical certificate to the PhD School ([email protected]) specifying the days of absence in the e-mail.
  • Inform the PhD Program Coordinator and Advisor about his/her possible absence

The PhD School will inform the staff economic management operating unit (for INAIL management) and the bursar/superintendentship operating unit (for insurance policy management).

In the event of an accident with absence exceeding 30 days the program and the scholarship are suspended, subject to a decision of the PhD Program Board according with the University Regulations on PhD Programs. Once the reason for suspending attendance ceases to exist, the PhD Program Board decides how the student’s educational activities may be resumed, without prejudice to the fact that in no cases may the duration of the course be reduced.
