MexiCOPAS 2017

MexiCOPAS is dynamical, interactive and modern school to prepare the next generation of Mexican leaders in Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics and String Theory. The schools start with a basic program on the fundamental language common to these three areas, and ends up with a specialized event in each area. Attendees may find their way through the school according to interests and future perspectives. Details of the program may be found here.

The three specialized events are
