Donauhanse
Network of Danube cities
The DonauHanse city network was established in the period 2003 - 2006 as an EU-funded project under the INTERREG IIIB - CADSES programme to strengthen the economic performance of the Danube cities and create jobs. The CADSES project DonauHanse was concluded with the signing of the DonauHanse Resolution at the third DonauHanse Conference (the first DonauHanse Mayors Conference) on 6 and 7 December 2006 and the DonauHanse city network became operational.
Its key goal, laid down in the DonauHanse Resolution, is the further development of the network into a sustainable engine for cooperation in the fields of business, tourism, infrastructure and culture going beyond the borders of the European Union. To accomplish this goal it is planned to enlarge the network to include other cities and regions from Central and Eastern Europe.
At present, the network is managed by TINA VIENNA Urban Technologies and Strategies GmbH on behalf of the City of Vienna (Municipal Department 27). Currently, 24 cities (Deggendorf, Nürnberg, Passau, Regensburg, Linz, Vienna, Schwechat, Györ, Budapest, Mohacs, Visegrad, Vukovar, Novi Sad, Petrovaradin, Sremski Karlovci, Bucharest, Cernavoda, Drobeta Turnu Severin, Galati, Giurgiu, Constantza, Svishtov, Rousse and Odessa) have signed the DonauHanse Resolution and are members in the DonauHanse network.
The DonauHanse network operates its own website (www.donauhanse.net), which provides information on the projects and activities of DonauHanse.
