L' ECSO (acronimo di European Council of Skeptical Organizations ossia Concilio europeo delle organizzazioni scettiche) coordina le attività di organizzazioni e individui che mirano a indagare criticamente le dichiarazioni pseudo-scientifiche e le affermazioni sul paranormale fenomeni, e per divulgare i risultati delle sue indagini al grande pubblico. Esso continua la serie di convegni della comunità degli scettici con bollettini e supporta un congresso biennale e un simposio ogni anno.

Our goals as formulated in its Charter (accepted September 25, 1994) are:

  1. To protect the public from the promulgation of claims and therapies which have not been subjected to critical testing and thus might pose a danger to them.
  2. To investigate by means of controlled tests and experiments such extraordinary claims which are on the fringe of, or contradict current scientific knowledge. In particular this applies to phenomena, commonly identified as ‘paranormal’ or ‘pseudo-scientific’. However, no claims, explanations or theories will be rejected in advance of objective evaluation.
  3. To promote public policy based on good practice in science and medicine.

The European Council of Skeptical Organisations (ECSO) was founded on September 25, 1994 in Oostende, Belgium, during the 6th annual congress of European skeptical organisations. It started functioning on January 1, 1995. Currently, fifteen organisations are members of ECSO. ECSO Board Chairman
