EURING

EURING is the co-ordinating organisation for European bird-ringing schemes.

It aims to promote and encourage:

• Scientific and administrative co-operation between national ringing schemes
  
• Development and maintenance of high standards in bird ringing
  
• Scientific studies of birds, in particular those based on marked individuals
  
• The use of data from bird ringing for the management and conservation of birds
  

These objectives are achieved mainly through co-operative projects, the organisation of meetings and the collection of data in the EURING Data Bank.
