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

Yes

The word "concluir" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese in terms of spelling, meaning, and grammatical conjugation. The only differences are phonological (the Brazilian pronunciation is more open and musical, while the European pronunciation involves more vowel reduction) and syntactic (the way the verb is used in continuous actions differs, with Brazilians using the gerund and Portuguese people using the "a + infinitive" construction).
