Portuguese term or phrase: arranjos institucionais
O Laboratório Associado de Ciências Sociais "tem como objectivo (...) o aumento e melhoria da sua contribuição para a proposta de formatos inovadores nos domínios da criação e gestão de instituições e de arranjos institucionais, e das modalidades de intervenção pública e de coordenação dos actores sociais."

Confesso que não compreendo o que a expressão significa. Muito menos encontro uma equivalente em ENG :-

Agradeço as vossas sugestões.

  -> Thanks Susy. I see 'Dia de Tiradentes' isn't being celebrated over there?
agree  Thais Maria Lips: What do you want me to do? Hang myself, spread salt on my yard? I am in Denver, CO pal! I just wish the people in Brazil would celebrate by bringing the character of the nation, back to the ideals of the Inconfidents! :-)
