With just one month to go until Danube Day 2026, preparations are well underway across the Danube River Basin. On 29 June, countries, communities, schools, institutions and organizations throughout the region will come together to celebrate the Danube and the shared responsibility to protect it.

On 29 June 2026, countries across the Danube River Basin will once again come together to celebrate Danube Day, an annual tradition launched by the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) in 2004.

Eight Danube countries participated in a specialised course to learn methods of
analysing biological quality elements that would be compliant with the EU Water
Framework Directive. Sharing this information ensures that all countries across
the basin can reach the goals of the directive.
