RESEARCH PROJECT
The Italian-Brazilian Laboratory for training, research and practices in collective health promotes research, training and exchange of experiences through a scientific-academic collaboration network involving researchers, students, professionals, service managers, communities and social movements. And among the objectives of the Laboratory there is also the promotion of academic exchanges between researchers, students and professionals.
Already since 2011, groups of researchers from Italy and Brazil have started to collaborate, initiating shared work activities. A path that in February 2014 led to the signing of a Cooperation Agreement between the Emilia-Romagna Region, the University of Bologna (International Health Center - DIMEC) and the Collaborative Health Network of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and at birth of the Italian-Brazilian Laboratory for training, research and practices in collective health.
The activity of the Italian-Brazilian Laboratory of training, research and practices in collective health is based on the awareness that health involves a field of different knowledge and of multi-professional practices. At the center of its activities there is then the defense of universal public health, to be achieved by training professionals, from an ethical and political point of view, for the defense of human rights. Furthermore, by linking universities, social and health services, communities and civil society, the Laboratory aims to build new approaches, tools and methods to face the challenges arising from contemporary global changes, starting from the valorisation of local experiences.
