The 2019 SSE Conference
The 2019 SSE Conference will be held June 5-8 at the beautiful Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield, Colorado.
Announcement
The theme for the 38th annual meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration will be Consilience*: Developing the Foundations of a New Scientific Paradigm. *Consilience refers to the principle that evidence from unrelated sources, especially science and the humanities, can converge and produce unified conclusions.
The conference will take place June 5-8, 2019 at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield, Colorado. The conference will bring together researchers and leading thinkers from both academia and the business community interested in investigating how findings from edge science can advance us towards a new paradigm for science and a deeper understanding of the foundations of reality.
The conference program is in development and will be available soon.
