Is the word colaborativo the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function of "colaborativo" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation: Brazilian Portuguese tends to have more open, distinct vowels, while Continental Portuguese features significant vowel reduction, often making the unstressed vowels sound much more closed or even nearly silent.
