The Academic Network of Health Sciences of Portuguese-speaking Countries - RACS was created on 1 September 2016 to "promote training and scientific cooperation in the area of health sciences among higher education institutions and research centers from Portuguese-speaking countries and communities."
The statutory purposes of this international network are based on five strategic designs in the area of health sciences:
- exchange and development of international cooperation among Portuguese-speaking countries in teaching, research, development, and innovation
- international academic mobility
- promotion and facilitation of bilateral and multilateral relations between higher education and research institutions
- international dissemination of scientific production;
- lifelong learning.
RACS is currently expanding to more than 550 higher education institutions in the health area in the Portuguese-speaking countries, currently registering around fifty effective members and partner entities from seven Portuguese-speaking countries, covering more than 90,000 students and 4,500 teachers.
The Nursing School of Coimbra is one of the Effective Associate Members of the Network, including Schools/Universities/Faculties/Institutes of Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, and São Tomé and Príncipe.
The 2nd International RACS Meeting (rRACS) took place in September 2018 at the Nursing School of Coimbra [ESEnfC] (António Arnaut Auditorium), organized jointly with the Health Technologies School of Coimbra (Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra).
