Economic, social and community development in Bavaria,
Bohemia and in Austria has not been defined by boundary
lines for many years. During this time, the border regions
have become closer and work on joint projects, such as
the economy, tourism, culture, social sphere and education.
For participating municipalities and regions it has been
beneficial to cooperate with their neighbours, even
though their home is in another country. Over
the years, networks transcending borders and
increasing the attractiveness of the regions
have been established. Many projects which
have recently been jointly implemented prove
there is a strong interest for cooperation with
neighbouring regions.
Plans and projects can be processed even more effectively
and in closer concordance within the European region.
Therefore, 7 regions in the borderlands of three countries
– the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria – established
the “European region Danube-Vltava on 30 June 2012”.
million inhabitants
on an area of 60,000 km²
The goal of the region is the development of cooperation for
the good of the population living in this area, strengthening
the region in the competition with other agglomerations and
the implementation of the European idea. The establishment
of the European region Danube-Vltava started the operational
activities of this community, which is devoted to cooperation
and further development of the partner regions in the
7 following prospective areas:
The European region Danube-Vltava is a trilateral union
which was established on a political level in the form of
a working community, and which incorporates seven
partner regions:
– Upper Austria,
– Lower Austria (regions of Mostviertel and Waldviertel),
– Lower Bavaria with Altötting,
– Upper Palatinate,
– Pilsen Region,
– South Bohemian Region, and
– Vysočina Region.

A so-called knowledge platform has been established for

measures within the ERDV strategy and support projects
from a professional viewpoint through their knowledge and
contacts. Each ERDV region is responsible for the functioning and work of one knowledge platform.
