The EU Strategy for the Danube Region

A united response to challenges affecting a fifth of the EU territory and over 100 million inhabitants, the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) follows the footsteps of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and builds on its good practices. Many of the region’s problems know no borders: flooding, transport and energy links, environmental protection and challenges to security all demand a united approach.

The strategy addresses four main objectives, or “Pillars”:

    I Connecting the Region
    II Protecting the environment
    III Building prosperity in the Danube Region

    IV Strengthening the Danube Region

The Danube Region needs results: These four pillars set out the key goals and these are translated into 11 priority areas coordinated by the participating countries.

How does it work? No new EU funds, no new EU legislation, and no new EU structures: instead, a focus on closer synergies between authorities at all levels to maximise the impact of actions and funding.

On this website you can find out about the latest developments of the strategy, its 11 priority areas and main actions, as well as information about existing funding opportunities and much more.
