Warsaw hosting the INC Congress
According to the decision of the INC General Assembly taken on 20th September 2015 in Taormina the XVI International Numismatic Congress will be held in Warsaw (Warszawa).
University of Warsaw in cooperation with the National Museum in Warsaw, the National Museum in Cracow, the Polish Numismatic Society and under the umbrella of the National Bank of Poland are ready to host you.
The International Numismatic Congress was originally planned for 2021. In May 2020 the International Numismatic Council (INC) and the Congress Organising Committee announced that it will postpone the congress to 2022. The venue will remain Warsaw, Poland, and the new dates are 11-16 September 2022.
In taking this difficult decision the Committee of the INC took a number of factors into consideration:
- 1. There remains continued uncertainty as to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the nature and longevity of social-distancing measures that are and will be in place to curb this spread.
- 2. Widescale and potentially long-term disruption to the travel industry make the prospect of booking and engaging in long-distance travel highly uncertain for the foreseeable future.
- 3. Many of our member institutions are facing short- or medium-term cuts to travel budgets that risk severely curtailing attendance at a Congress held in 2021.
- 4. There is an ever-increasing backlog of meetings postponed from 2020 to 2021 that will place a strain on the schedules of many potential participants next year.
- 5. The addition of a year to the timetable will provide the Committee time to seek extra funds to help further subsidize attendance for members whose financial situation has deteriorated.
