Who we are

Cross-Border Dialogue (CBD) is a trilateral initiative uniting Austria, Czechia, and Slovakia to address shared regional challenges, foster cross-border collaboration, and advance European values. Co-organized by Club Alpbach Lower Austria and Club Alpbach Czechia & Slovakia, CBD serves as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and co-creation of innovative, actionable solutions to pressing issues in the region.

By combining grassroots expertise with cross-border perspectives, CBD empowers participants to drive tangible progress while strengthening regional networks and shared European ideals.
