ASSAP Announces Formation of Expert Advisory Panel

ASSAP Announces Formation of Expert Advisory Panel
The Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP) is pleased to announce the establishment of its new Expert Advisory Panel, a dynamic initiative designed to enhance our commitment to rigorous research and investigation into anomalous phenomena. This panel will bring together a diverse group of experts, from enthusiasts to academics, to advance ASSAP’s mission as a leading learned organisation at the forefront of exploring unexplained phenomena.
Purpose of the Expert Advisory Panel
The Expert Advisory Panel is designed to provide specialised support and guidance across a range of disciplines. Panel members will assist with analysing photographs, videos, and audio recordings, offer expert advice to our field investigators, and contribute to the review of research projects. By fostering collaboration among experts, ASSAP aims to enhance the quality and credibility of our investigations, building confidence in our work and reputation.
Panel Structure and Areas of Expertise
The Expert Advisory Panel will consist of small, focused groups of 2-3 specialists per area of interest, ensuring depth and diversity of expertise. The panels will cover the following key areas:
- Ghosts, Hauntings, and Related Phenomena
- Ufology
- Cryptozoology
- Forteana
- Photography and Video Analysis
- Audio Analysis
- Physical Mediumship
To maintain focus and effectiveness, individuals will typically serve on no more than two or three panels, allowing for dedicated contributions to their areas of expertise.
Coordination and Leadership
The panels will be coordinated by Roy Wilcock, ASSAP’s Investigations Coordinator, who is already reaching out to individuals who have expressed interest in participating. Roy will oversee the formation of the initial panels and ensure seamless collaboration between panel members and ASSAP’s broader investigative and research efforts.
