The European Union for Bird Ringing (EURING) is the co-ordinating organisation for European bird ringing schemes.
EURING was founded in Biarritz in 1963, partly in response to a meeting at the 13th International Ornithological Congress (Ithaca, New York, June 1962).[1]
EURING has established the EURING Exchange Code to enable data interchange between members, and the central EURING Databank to collect records from all members in a central database.
The EURING Exchange Code (or EURING Code) is a data exchange format for bird ringing information and ringing recoveries. It was established in a 1966 EURING meeting by adapting a Dutch punch card code that originated in 1963.[2][3]
The EURING Exchange Code has since then been developed further as technology improved, resulting in newer editions in 1979[4] and 2000.[5] This was modified in 2000+[6], and later succeeded by the 2020 version, which is the current standard.[7]
The main use of the EURING Exchange Code is to have a shared format to exchange data between EURING members (that each have their own databases and formats) and between members and the EURING Databank.
In 1977, EURING founded the EURING Databank (EDB) to collect records from all members in a central location. The EDB was initially hosted at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology.[8] In 2006, the hosting was moved to the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO).[9]
