Expanding the Scope of Scientific Inquiry

The Beyond Science + Consciousness Alliance (BSCA) is a global consortium advancing interdisciplinary research and dialogue on foundational questions of reality, consciousness, life, and intelligence.

BSCA is a non-profit, non-advocacy research and dialogue consortium. It does not promote doctrinal, spiritual, or political positions.

WHY BEYOND SCIENCE

Modern science explains much of the physical world with remarkable precision. Yet foundational questions remain unresolved—concerning consciousness, information, the origins of reality, and the long-term trajectory of intelligence.

BSCA exists to address these questions through expanded inquiry, enabling disciplines to collaborate where reductionist approaches alone are insufficient, while maintaining methodological rigor and intellectual responsibility.

WHAT BSCA DOES (THREE PILLARS)

BSCA advances rigorous inquiry through complementary research, dialogue, and ethical analysis across disciplines and sectors.
