The Research Unit in Health Sciences: Nursing (UICISA: E), hosted by the Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), is evaluated and funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT).
UICISA: E develops R&D activities at an international and interdisciplinary level, with the aim of providing a sustainable and socially responsible response to complex problems related to health promotion, disease prevention and the provision of care for the sick, disabled and/or end-of-life person.
It aims to establish itself as an internationally accredited research center of excellence, demonstrating the importance of research in the specific field of nursing for innovation and health gains. In addition to its distinguished role and recognized merit in Portugal, UICISA: E maintains a continuous work of cooperation between researchers and partnerships with national and international research centers of excellence.
