The SMN is an interdisciplinary networking forum and educational charity exploring science, medicine, philosophy and spirituality.

The Network seeks to provide a forum for pursuing truth, wherever it leads, to widen the intellectual horizons of science and of society as a whole, to stimulate research at the frontiers of human knowledge and experience, and to make the results of such research more widely known through its educational programmes.

In asking searching questions about the nature of life and the role of the human being, the Network abides by its guidelines of open-minded, rigorous thinking and care for others at all times.

This is the homepage for the joint meeting between SMN ("The Scientific and Medical Network") and SSE ("The Society for Scientific Exploration").

The interests of both the SMN and SSE overlap to a fair degree, and in view of that we felt it was past time that we held a joint conference. To that end, this conference is being planned in the delightful location of the Drogheda area of Ireland, a short distance from the great, World Heritage, megalithic monuments of the Boyne Valley.

Invited speakers for the conference are: Rupert Sheldrake, Bernard Carr, Brenda Dunne, Bob Jahn, and Paul Devereux.

The Program Organisers are:

Members of the program committee's are:

  • SSE: Peter Wadhams (chair), Gerd Hövelmann, Ulisse Di Corpo, Michal Teplan, Erling Strand
  • SMN: Claudia Nielsen (chair), Bernard Carr, Martin Redfern, David Lorimer, Charla Devereux

The SSE is a professional organization of scientists and scholars who study unusual and unexplained phenomena. Subjects often cross mainstream boundaries, such as consciousness, unidentified aerial phenomena, and alternative medicine, yet often have profound implications for human knowledge and technology.

The primary goal of the SSE is to provide a professional forum for presentations, criticism, and debate concerning topics which are for various reasons ignored or studied inadequately within mainstream science. A secondary goal is to promote improved understanding of those factors that unnecessarily limit the scope of scientific inquiry, such as sociological constraints, restrictive world views, hidden theoretical assumptions, and the temptation to convert prevailing theory into prevailing dogma.

Topics under investigation cover a wide spectrum. At one end are apparent anomalies in well established disciplines. At the other, we find paradoxical phenomena that belong to no established discipline and therefore may offer the greatest potential for scientific advance and the expansion of human knowledge.
