International Congress of Psychical Research

Occasional gathering of psychical researchers from all over the world. The first congress was held in Copenhagen in 1921, the second in 1923 in Warsaw, the third in 1927 in Paris, and the fourth in 1930 in Athens. World War II interrupted such international congresses, but in 1953 the first of a new series of international conferences on parapsychological studies was held at Utrecht University, Holland, sponsored by the Parapsychology Foundation.
