The experience proved an excellent means for the dissemination of their learning outcomes and for the open monitoring of their future research. The ceremony had the widest repercussion in all regional, national and international press (more even so since this was the last public act conducted by Bibiana Aido as Minister of Equality). The event marked also the first steps for the creation of a GEMMA alumni association which will give the programme and the consortium feedback on to what extent the expected goals of the programme have been achieved, whether their graduates have found insertion in the expected professional fields and the degree of satisfaction with the formation acquired.
