European Union for Bird Ringing

EURING was founded in France in 1963, partly in response to a meeting at the 13th International Ornithological Congress (Ithaca, New York, June 1962).

[10] EURING codes are also used to identify species in other ornithological research, such as The EBCC Atlas of European Breeding Birds.

[13] The establishment of the EURING 2000 Exchange Code was a driver for the rapid advancement in capture-recapture studies and analyses.

[20] Other applications include usage for detecting avian influenza patterns, as seen in the EFSA Migration Mapping Tool[21] and Bird Flu Radar.

[22][23] The EDB data is combined with Movebank data to form the publicly available Eurasian African Bird Migration Atlas,[24] developed by the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals under the United Nations Environment Programme.
