FRAM Fridays are bimonthly online community sessions for informal knowledge exchange and discussion. They provide a regular and accessible format for continuing conversations between the annual FRAMily Meetings.
Held every two months, these are free one-hour sessions designed to strengthen connections within the existing FRAMily community, and to open the door to researchers, students, scholars, and industry practitioners who use FRAM but may not have been part of annual FRAMily gatherings.
Whether you’re a seasoned FRAM practitioner, starting to explore the method, or looking for a great idea for a university project/thesis/dissertation, this is a space to learn, share, and connect with others thinking about complex systems and performance variability.
📅 Format: Online, 1 hour, 4th Friday every 2 months
🎤 Hosted by: James Norman
