The European Information Network on Racism and Xenophobia (RAXEN) is one of the key tools of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) to provide the European Union and its Member States with information and research on the phenomena of racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism.

The Network is composed of 25 National Focal Points (NFPs), one in each EU Member State. The NFPs work with all the main national actors to provide the FRA with data, reports and analysis. In short they are the EUMC's entry points at national level.

Key activities of the network include 'mapping', country reports and special studies, and responding to rapid response requests for information from the European Institutions and the FRA.

The NCCRI is the Irish National Point (NFP).
