The Mexican Workshop on Fractional Calculus (MWFC) is a bi-annual international workshop and the largest Latin American technical event in the field of fractional calculus in Mexico. The focus of MWFC is to motivate critical discussions of ideas about abstract and non-integer operators, chaotic systems, complex behavior, and their applications in several areas. MWFC offers an ideal forum for intellectuals and curious people to present their latest research insights. In its 5th version, MWFC was held in Monterrey, one of the most influential cities in México and home of the Tecnológico de Monterrey (TEC), where MWFC was hosted in a hybrid format. During the 5th MWFC, we attended six plenary talks from distinguished international scientists, as well as two tutorials, a poster session, and four panels of accepted papers.
