GEMMA
GEMMA is a joint interdisciplinary programme that provides high quality academic education and professional competencies for personnel working or intending to work in the areas of Women's Studies, Gender Studies and Equal Opportunities across Europe and beyond. GEMMA is unique in the way it brings together approaches to feminism from all cardinal points in Europe. Created as a result of the concerted efforts of several universities working together, the GEMMA Consortium represents the harmonization of eight different institutions from six European countries:
- University of Granada
- University of Bologna
- Central European University (Budapest)
- University of Hull
- University of York
- University of L贸d藕
- University of Oviedo
- University of Utrecht
GEMMA is thus the fine tuning of North European, South European and Central European higher education institutions where Women鈥檚 and Gender studies is one of the main elements of their postgraduate offer.
