At the end of the second edition of the programme, The First GEMMA Graduation Ceremony was organised in Granada, for graduates from the 1st and the 2nd edition of the programme.
All GEMMA Coordinators were present and current GEMMA students (3rd and 4th edition) were also invited to participate, presided by the Spanish Minister of Equality, Ms. Bibiana Aído, was followed by the Intercultural Forum for Young Researchers “Voices of GEMMA: Exchanging Experiences of Research in Women’s and Gender Studies in a Transnational Context” In this part of the event GEMMA graduates shared their experiences and the results of their research projects completed within the programme. 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.
