Institutional travel insurance often excludes the locations that matter most for field research.
University and institutional group policies typically contain war and civil unrest exclusions, and may not cover fieldwork in countries under Foreign Office or State Department travel advisories. Check your cover before you travel.
Personal accident cover
Defined benefits for accidental death and disablement, valid in high-risk and conflict-affected areas.
Emergency medical expenses
Medical treatment costs when you're working in remote or medically under-served locations.
Medical evacuation
If local medical care is not available or adequate, evacuation to appropriate facilities is covered.
Remote location cover
Cover that works in locations far from major medical centres, including areas with limited infrastructure.
War and civil unrest
Policies that remain valid where standard insurance applies exclusions — the environments where research often takes you.
24/7 NGS emergency assistance
Professional crisis coordination at any hour, not a recorded message or general helpline.
Who This Is For
Field research takes many forms — from academic fieldwork in fragile states to specialist technical deployments in conflict-affected regions. What they share is the need for cover that matches the actual risk.
Individual policies are available for researchers going into the field independently. Organisations managing multiple field researchers can use a corporate account to cover their team under a single arrangement.
