The objectives of this workshop, organized by EMPRES and EuFMFD, are:

• To enhance the capacities of the veterinary services in risk analysis and risk mapping (considering animal mobility and other risk factors) beneficial for the development of advanced disease risk-based surveillance and control programs.
• To support the monitoring of animal movements and the collection of risk information, compensating the absence of dedicated national animal identification systems and movement monitoring.
• To strengthen and operationalize the risk mapping, GIS, and spatial modelling community of practice in countries.
