No ha sido posible, por razones de espacio, consignar en este trabajo toda la riqueza de las aportaciones que ha hecho la comunidad internacional para enriquecer la labor del CIESS; es demasiado amplia y sería, sin duda, una tarea por sí misma apasionante. Sea entonces esta investigación una forma de rendir homenaje a los precursores e iniciadores del Centro, al Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, a las instituciones afiliadas a la CISS, a la Organización entera y a sus trabajadores, a los organismos internacionales que han colaborado desde su creación, a quienes como docentes han aportado sus conocimientos y a las instituciones que representan, a los más de treinta y siete mil funcionarios que se han capacitado en sus aulas, así como a sus directores.

It has not been possible, due to reasons of space, to include in this paper all the wealth of the contributions made by the international community to enhance the work of the CIESS; it is too ample and would undoubtedly be a task, by itself, passionate. Let this investigation be a means to render homage to the forerunners and initiators of the Center, to the Mexican Social Security Institute, to the institutions affiliated to the CISS, to the entire Organization and to its employees, to the international organizations that have collaborated since its creation, to those who as professors have contributed with their knowledge, and to the institutions they represent, to the more than thirty seven thousand officers who have been trained in its classrooms, as well as to its directors.
