The 1st World Copernican Congress in Toruń was officially closed by the Deputy Minister of Education and Science, Tomasz Rzymkowski. He also invited to the Second Copernican Congress in five years’ time.

“The Copernican idea is similar to the Olympics, the only difference is that our Copernican Games – the World Copernican Congresses are held every five years. The first one is practically over, the next one is in five years’ time. On behalf of the Academy, I would like to invite everyone to the Second World Copernican Congress. And I consider the First World Copernican Congress concluded”, said the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Education and Science.

Earlier, the organisers and guests of the Congress were thanked by the Secretary General of the Copernican Academy, Professor Krzysztof M. Górski.

“We have succeeded, three days are coming to an end. I hope that the astronomers, friends, fellow scientists who visited us here will leave with the conviction that we have discussed many different topics, and, in terms of our disciplines, we are doing well”, said Prof. Górski.
