FRAME's training schools in Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis of Biomedical Experiments are recognised internationally. They aim to provide research scientists with the tools they need to minimise the number of animals they use and maximise the data they obtain through their work.

The latest school will take place at the University of Nottingham, UK on 8 - 10 January, 2013. Closing date for applications is November 30, 2012.

Accommodation will be provided in central Nottingham and transport arranged between the hotel and the University.

Getting to Nottingham is easy. It is within easy reach of East Midlands Airport, with frequent Skylink bus services to the city centre. The city is also served by a mainline rail station, which is a short walk from the centre.
