FRANET

FRANET

FRANET is the FRA's multidisciplinary research network. Composed of National Focal Points (NFPs) in each EU Member State and Croatia, the aim of this network is to provide the Agency with objective, reliable and comparable socio-legal data on fundamental rights issues to facilitate the FRA's comparative analyses at EU level.

FRANET, which was launched in July 2011,  replaces the former FRALEX and RAXEN networks.

The following table shows a list of National Focal points for each EU Member State (and Croatia). The main contractor in each consortium is shown in bold.
