We expect that our colleagues will make their contribution, we will all together understand the Universe, we will reveal its history, how galaxies were born, Russia s Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov said per TASS News.
He added that research is one of the motors of regional growth, so this is also significant for the country.
