The International Association for Danube Research (IAD) was founded in 1956 with the goal of promoting and coordinating activities in the fields of limnology, water management, and water protection in the Danube River basin (current STRUCTURE and CONTACT).

The Association is incorporated into the Societas Internationalis Limnologiae (SIL) and is governed by its statute. This affiliation also provides the legal basis for the Association.

At present 12 countries in the Danube basin are IAD members:
Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, Switzerland, Ukraine.

New and renewal membership see options at the bottom of this page!
The IAD languages are German and English.

With a length of over 2,800 km, the Danube is - after the Volga - the second longest river in Europe. Its catchment covers 817,000 km².
The Danube and its tributaries flow through many different landscape forms; its highest peak in the catchment is over 4,000 m (Inn basin).
The discharge of the Danube into the Black Sea averages 6,500 m³/s. More than 80 mio. people live in the Danube basin.

Beside the scientific research IAD actively disseminates findings to a larger public. Since 2004 IAD contributes to the Danube Day
