Coimbra is Portugal's quintessential university city, with a strong presence in the health, biotechnology and scientific research sectors. M21Global serves institutions and companies in Coimbra with technical, scientific, legal and certified translations, backed by ISO 17100 processes.

The City of Students

Coimbra, the city of students, derives its name from the Roman city of Conímbriga, located 16 km away. Later under Moorish rule and then Castilian, it was the birthplace of Portugal's first king, Afonso Henriques. It was the site of one of the oldest universities still in operation in the world, from which student movements have emerged throughout its history, and it currently has approximately 20,000 students.

Why choose professional translation in Coimbra

Coimbra is a city where knowledge and innovation meet. The University of Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the centre of a research network spanning medicine, law, engineering and natural sciences. Institutions and companies in Coimbra that publish internationally, participate in European consortia or operate in global markets need rigorous, specialised translations.

By choosing M21Global for your translation projects in Coimbra, you benefit from native translators with solid academic training, dedicated project managers and ISO 17100-certified processes.

Health and biomedical sciences

The Coimbra University Hospital Centre (CHUC) is one of the largest hospital centres in the country, generating a constant demand for medical and scientific translation: clinical trials, research protocols, articles for international journals, informed consent forms and medical reports. The presence of the CNC — Centre for Neurosciences and Cell Biology — and biotechnology companies at Biocant Park reinforce this need.

Biotechnology and research

Coimbra is a growing biotechnology hub, with Biocant Park serving as an incubator for life sciences companies. Translation of biotechnology patents, marketing authorisation applications, regulatory documentation for the EMA and high-impact scientific articles requires translators with specialised knowledge that M21Global provides.

University of Coimbra and academic output

The University of Coimbra, founded in 1290 and one of the oldest in the world, is a centre of excellence in law, medicine, engineering and humanities. Translation of scientific articles, doctoral theses, European funding applications (Horizon Europe, ERC Grants) and international cooperation agreements is a daily need for researchers and academic departments.

Certified processes and quality assurance

We are a company with processes certified according to ISO 17100, with workflows that include translation by native specialists, independent review and automatic consistency checks. For each project, we perform a risk analysis, outline a quality plan and establish checkpoints.
