- We understand by social gatherings any gathering of more than 10 people that includes visitors.
- The common spaces of the residences are mainly intended for the enjoyment and comfort of the residents, so they will allow only those meetings in which the residents of BE Coimbra are at least 60% of the total. Residents also include people who have an active contract with another residence of BE Coimbra different from the one where the meeting takes place.
- In the rooms it is not allowed to have meetings of more than four people, residents or not, since a meeting of 5 or more people, no matter how quiet, will disturb anyone who wants to sleep or study in the adjacent rooms.
- In the common spaces, you can have meetings with up to 8 external visitors.
- In residences where there is a plurality of common spaces, several meetings may be held, provided that the 60% rule is maintained in all of them.
- Meetings of more than 8 visitors require an explicit permission from BE Coimbra, which must be requested at least 2 days in advance.
- Visitors must comply with the rules of coexistence of the residence, and the space must be collected and ordered at the end of the meeting.
- Care should be taken that visitors do not invite other people on their own, as any meeting that exceeds the permitted number will be automatically cancelled and dissolved.
- The instructions of the staff of BE Coimbra must be respected at all times.
- If there are state or municipal laws or regulations in place (such as rules due to the COVID-19 pandemic) that impose restrictions on the number of people who can gather or the way these gatherings will take place (e.g., social distancing or wearing masks), such provisions will be mandatory and take precedence over the rules outlined above.
