COMEXUS has been part for a few years, but a lot in terms of substance, of the history of cooperation between the two nations”.

According with the information presented by COMEXUS, ITAM is the third institution throughout the Mexican Republic with the largest number of alumni in this 2022 Fulbright-García Robles generation.
