Abstract
One of the ways scientist from the world peripheries can attempt to overcome isolation and lack of visibility is by networking and associating themselves at different aggregate levels, both nationally and internationally. Scientific meetings are especially apt grounds where scientist have a chance to make contacts and become more visible. Taking as its point of departure the fact that meetings constitute a pervasive yet neglected aspect of science, this paper concentrates on the analysis of participation in type of scientific meeting of a regional scope that has token place periodically since 1968 and is still an ongoing operation. It is argued that meeting of this sort deserve the attention of students for a variety of reasons, especially because through time one may observe the evolution of the cognitive field and its institutional and group correlations that series of meetings helped to create in the particular space configured by periodical meeting.
