(3-5 Jul) Rotary Danube Alliance Conference in Ulm Strengthens International Cooperation (+GAL)
The annual Rotary Danube Alliance Conference, held in Ulm, Germany, on 3–5 July 2026, brought together Rotary leaders and members from across the Danube region to strengthen international cooperation, exchange best practices, and explore new opportunities for humanitarian service. The event was attended by Rotarians from seven countries in the Danube region.
The program featured presentations on the Rotary Danube Alliance’s successful initiatives, including the EndPlastic Soup project and its role in environmental action, as well as the Global Grant project “Surgery for Life” for Vidin’s hospital, and future initiatives addressing youth development, environmental sustainability, healthcare, and community service. There was also an interesting presentation by Catherine Adelmann of the University of Applied Sciences in Ulm on local innovation projects for sustainability. The event provided valuable opportunities for networking and the development of new cross-border collaborations.
The conference welcomed high-level Rotary leadership, including the District Governor of the host district in Germany, three Past District Governors, and two Assistant District Governors. Their participation underscored the growing importance of the Rotary Danube Alliance as a platform for collaboration among Rotary clubs and districts across Europe.
Among the speakers was Hristina Malchevska, ADG, District 2482 and Past President of Rotary Club Sofia International, who together with Dora Scusz, Rotary Club Budapest-Center, delivered a presentation highlighting the importance of international Rotary cooperation and the role of the Rotary Danube Alliance in fostering sustainable partnerships. In addition, Maya Borislavova and Stoyan Ivanov presented the Global Grant project “Surgery for Life” in Bulgaria, demonstrating how international collaboration can improve access to specialized medical care and create lasting humanitarian impact.
The conference was also attended by Past President Claude Badan and members Inna Badan and Domagoj Stefan from Rotary Club Sofia International, who joined the Bulgarian delegation and participated in the discussions and networking sessions throughout the event.
The Rotary Danube Alliance Conference once again demonstrated that collaboration across borders is one of Rotary’s greatest strengths. By bringing together leaders, experts, and committed members from different countries, the Alliance continues to inspire new projects, stronger partnerships, and sustainable solutions that improve lives throughout the Danube region and beyond.
