Spending an extended period abroad

Lund University employees who will be working abroad for an extended period are to have a special international contract (URA).

You can also be stationed abroad if you are to serve abroad for a short period but are accompanied by your family. An international contract must be drawn up in such cases and a special insurance policy taken out, known as URA insurance. URA insurance only applies for employees on an international secondment for which a URA contract has been drawn up. You may also take out supplementary property insurance.

Contact your manager or nearest human resources officer to find out more about the rules that apply when you are abroad for a long period.

Filing a claim when stationed abroad (URA)

If you have an international contract (URA) you are to submit the insurance claim and any receipts, along with a copy of the insurance confirmation to your manager. Both you and your manager must sign the claim, after which your manager is to submit the claim report to Kammarkollegiet.
