This work analyses the international trends regarding policies on Research and Development (R+D), and reviews in detail the training of researchers in Mexico. The scientific policies promoted by the Mexican governmental agency CONACyT and in particular, the characteristics of the university system where most Mexican researchers are trained, are evaluated. The article concludes with a proposal of changes in some of the Mexican scientific policies which, after 18 years of application, have not produced the expected results.

Keywords : Scientific community; research and development; researchers training; research in Mexico.
