Description:It is acknowledged that nursing is, at the international level, an essential professional category for access to primary care, which leads us to suppose that this action can be strategic in the conjunctures of crises that affect social and health policies. There is a lack of international comparative analyzes of the health and nursing workforce, their practices and work organization. Given the speed of implementation of restrictive policies and the multidimensionality of the problem, academic institutions of Spain, France and Sweden point out their interest in developing, with Uerj, studies in comparative perspective and academic-scientific activities that expand ongoing exchanges, strengthening the area of nursing as a field of production of relevant knowledge in health. At the international level, nursing operates on the basis of historical and ethical-political premises that refer to a training base that includes commitment to collectivities, integral care and actions of education, health promotion and prevention, from an inter and transdisciplinary perspective, as well as activism in defense of equitable government policies. The institutions’ project have long been dedicated to the study of the potentialities and challenges for health workers in different conjunctures. The institutions involved carry out collaborative activities, with joint academic production, to be broadened and consolidated as a systematic and sustainable practice, strengthening the production of knowledge in health and nursing. The development of a process of partnership and international exchange is proposed, focusing on the analysis of the organization of work in health and nursing and its practices in primary health care. Studies with a comparative perspective will be developed in Brazil, France, Spain and Sweden, as well as other academic-scientific activities. The objectives are to deepen a conceptual and methodological evaluation of professors and students, through bicentric and / or multi-center studies, offer of seminars for graduate students, exchange between visiting researchers, academic-scientific production in terms of co-doctorates, sandwich doctorates, postdoctoral studies, bibliographic production and presentation of papers at scientific events. It includes activities integrated with the lines and research groups of the researchers involved in each Program and country.
