Connecting People. Navigating Complexity. Building Resilience.
FRAMily is the international community of researchers, practitioners, educators, developers, and students interested in the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) and the understanding of complex socio-technical systems.
The community provides an open and interdisciplinary space for knowledge exchange, shared learning, collaboration, and the responsible development and application of FRAM across research, education, and practice.
Community members are invited to:
- Ask and answer questions
- Exchange experiences from research and practice
- Share FRAM models and case studies
- Discuss publications and methodological developments
- Explore software and modelling tools
- Share teaching and learning resources
- Propose new ideas and future directions
