East European Association of Paranormal Phenomena Researchers

Magazine Overview

This bulletin, issue number 7/2008, dated November 30, 2008, is from the East European Association of Paranormal Phenomena Researchers (also referred to as the Eastern European Association of Researchers of Anomalous Phenomena). The bulletin serves to inform members about the association's issues and important events, and it is open to receiving news, tasks, and questions from its readers. This particular issue presents an overview of problems, conclusions from discussions, new articles, and other matters of international significance.

Organizational Matters

The primary objective of the association's collaboration is to identify interesting problems within the field of anomalous phenomena of international importance and to strive to develop and expand contacts between research organizations in Eastern Europe. The bulletin notes that on November 6, 2008, it marked the second anniversary of the signing of the 'Protocol of Intent.' This protocol was an agreement where several research organizations and individuals from Eastern Europe expressed their intention for mutually beneficial cooperation. Despite the natural challenges of establishment, the association continues to exist and, most importantly, is developing cooperation between organizations.

The bulletin emphasizes that this is the first instance of creating a common information space for various research organizations, clubs, and individual researchers working in the field of anomalous phenomena in Eastern Europe. This initiative has led to the association gaining recognition not only within Eastern Europe but also in Western Europe. The association explicitly states its openness to cooperation with any researchers and organizations, even those with fundamentally different perspectives. They express tolerance and understanding towards alternative approaches to understanding the nature of these strange phenomena.

Readers are encouraged to write, discuss, and express their opinions freely. The association welcomes contributions and is always ready to receive them.
