The EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) was established to provide evidence-based policy
advice to EU institutions and Member States. By blending social science research with
traditional normative work, it aims to influence human rights policy processes through
new ways of framing empirical realities. The contributors to this volume critically
examine the experience of the Agency in its first decade, exploring FRA's historical,
political and legal foundations and its evolving record across major strands of EU
fundamental rights. Central themes arising from these chapters include consideration
of howthe Agency manages the tension between a mandate to advise and the more traditional
approach of human rights bodies to monitor', and how its research impacts the delicate
equilibrium between these two contesting roles.FRA's experience as thefirst embedded'
human rights agency is also highlighted, suggesting a rolefor alternative and less
oppositional orientations for human rights research. While authors observe the benefits
of the technocratic approach to human rights research that is a hallmark of FRA's
evidence-based policy advice, they also note its constraints. FRA's policy work requires
a continued awareness of political realities in Brussels, Member States, and civil
society. Consequently, the complex process of determining the Agency's research agenda
reflects the strategic priorities of key actors. This is an important factor in the
Agency's role in the EU human rights landscape. This pioneering position of the Agency
should invite reflection on new forms of institutionalized human rights research for
the future.
