| Sumario: | This article aimed to map the actions taken by the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of Bahia in 2020, in order to face the pandemic, that have contributed to expand the institutional role of producing science and legitimating knowledge. Based on a qualitative, exploratory, and documentary research, a survey was conducted on the official websites of the four State HEIs of Bahia and the five Federal ones. For data analysis, we used the content analysis technique through which three categories of analysis emerged: health, prophylaxis, and information. We noticed that Bahia's HEIs have been taking many actions, in the aforementioned areas, that cooperate in the fight against the new coronavirus/COVID-19, in the progress of science, and in the fight against ignorance. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of HEIs and their social role. |
