The workshop will focus on African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak management in the context
of long distance introductions not driven by natural wild boar dispersal.

The aim is to bring together practitioners and experts from countries that have experienced ASF outbreaks (e.g. Spain, Czech Republic, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Sweden) to exchange applied knowledge and lessons learned from field interventions. Contributions will address both operational and strategic aspects of outbreak response, including stakeholder communication and governance, carcass search and removal, use of fencing, wild boar capture, surveillance and population monitoring during outbreaks, and response adaptation to different virus strains.

The workshop is designed as an interactive and practice-oriented session. It will begin with a series of short, targeted presentations highlighting key successes, constraints, and failures, followed by a structured round-table discussion aimed at identifying transferable approaches and practical outcomes useful to be applied in new incursions management.

The workshop will focus on practical aspects of capturing, handling, collaring, and monitoring
wild boar using GPS telemetry.

The aim is to bring together researchers, veterinarians, wildlife managers, and field practitioners from different countries to exchange experience on safe and effective telemetry work. Contributions will address capture methods, animal handling, device selection and fitting, field logistics, data quality and collar failures. The workshop will also provide an opportunity to compare approaches used under different ecological, legal, and management contexts.

The workshop is designed as an interactive, practice-oriented session. It will include short presentations on key successes, challenges, and lessons learned, followed by a round-table discussion to identify transferable best practices and practical recommendations for future wild boar GPS telemetry studies.
