The Mexican School of Particles and Fields was borne at a time when scientific communications in Mexico, specially with the first world community, were very slow and inefficient. Nowadays, after 22 years, the school is well attended every two years by students and young researchers from Mexico and Latin America. By introducing participants to the fast moving frontier of scientific developments in the area of of high energy physics and astroparticle physics, the School has played an important role in fostering the career of young researchers working in these fields.
