The Scientific and Medical Network is an interdisciplinary forum exploring frontiers of science, consciousness and spirituality. The Network is committed to no dogma or creed.  It aims to widen the intellectual horizons of scientists and of society as a whole, and to stimulate research at the frontiers of human knowledge and experience.  It intends to make the results of such research more widely known through their educational programmes.
