BIAL Foundation(BIAL)

BIAL Foundation is a Portuguese civilian research foundation established in 1994 that funds scientific research on consciousness and parapsychology. As one of the largest funders of experimental parapsychology research worldwide, BIAL supports investigations into anomalous phenomena and consciousness studies. The foundation organizes annual symposia on consciousness and maintains an active grant program supporting researchers in these fields. While primarily focused on consciousness research rather than UAP studies specifically, BIAL operates within the broader scientific exploration of anomalous phenomena alongside other institutions investigating unconventional topics.
