Abalde, Rector of the University of A Coruña and president of FEUGA, who gave way to Lluis Rovira, Academic Coordinator of the program and director of the CERCA of Catalonia, and Dolores Pérez, deputy director of the CIQUS-USC and student of the GESCI modality. Both took stock of the program, each from their perspective, but coinciding with the success achieved in this first edition, and the importance of this kind of initiatives.

After this assessment, attendees had the opportunity to enjoy the presentation of Fernando P. Cossío, director of Ikerbasque, who explained the birth, development and management of this institution since its inception until now.

The event ended with the words of the Regional Minister for Education, Universities and Vocational Training, Carmen Pomar, who wanted to point out the importance of this activity, a pioneer in Spain, and encouraged the participants to put into practice the knowledge acquired during these months in order to bring Galician research centers and units to the highest level of excellence.
