Our mission

We are a volunteer group of scholars conducting and promoting serious research into edge phenomena — anomalous events and experiences that resist conventional explanation and have received insufficient formal academic attention.

Our goal is to produce, collaborate on, curate, and share high-quality research and educational materials that enable other researchers, policymakers, and the public to better understand this complex topic.

We do not advocate for any particular conclusions, nor do we claim exclusive knowledge or authority. Our work is grounded in a common commitment to open-minded, rigorous inquiry — and in the belief that the best way to make progress is to work together, in the open.
