Welcome to the Research Cooperative.

The Research Cooperative is a moderated social network and NPO dedicated to better academic, technical and educational communication. 

Our international network represents all disciplines and brings together researchers, university teachers, students, science writers, editors, proofreaders, translators, illustrators, indexers, and publishers.

As 'knowledge workers' we all need to work together more effectively for better communication.

Hi! I am a portuguese native speaker (from Portugal). Here is the Portuguese (Portugal) translation of the text you requested:
Bem-vindos à Research Cooperative.
A Research Cooperative é uma rede social moderada e uma associação sem fins lucrativos dedicada a uma melhor comunicação académica, técnica e educacional.
A nossa rede internacional representa todas as áreas e reúne investigadores, professores universitários, estudantes, escritores científicos, editores, revisores, tradutores, ilustradores, indexadores e editoras.
Como "trabalhadores do conhecimento", todos nós precisamos de trabalhar juntos de forma mais eficaz para uma melhor comunicação.
A inscrição na associação é gratuita para indivíduos, organizações educacionais e empresas de serviços comerciais. No nosso site usa-se o inglês, mas aceitamos membros que usem outros idiomas.

just a note:
"Bem-vindo" (singular) - to welcome one person
"Bem-vindos" (plural) - to welcome more than one person

This is great.

Thank you very much! 

Muito obrigado!

Peter (founder and admin)

Hi Peter,

You're welcome, I am glad I could help.

Just a quick note, it's "Portuguese", not "Portugese" ;)

Cheers,

Bernardete
