John Björkhem was a Swedish psychiatrist and parapsychologist, and one of Sweden’s pioneers in the scientific study of paranormal experiences. He published research and encouraged others to explore the subject systematically.

Established in 1963, the John Björkhem Memorial Foundation aims to support research in parapsychology and related fields through grants and funding opportunities.

The John Björkhem Memorial Foundation works in close connection with the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), the world’s oldest organization for the scientific investigation of psychic and anomalous phenomena, founded in London in 1882.

The John Björkhem Memorial Foundation awards grants and bursaries exclusively for the purpose of furthering parapsychological research on a scientific basis.
