Alps-Adriatic-Alliance (AAA)
The Alps-Adriatic-Alliance (AAA) represents a population of around five million people in four states, and consists of twelve member regions. These member regions form a cooperation network that is dedicated to contributing to a common, peaceful, and pluralistic Europe. This is enabled through a variety of projects spanning the member regions, some of which are subsidised by EU funds. Styria held the chairmanship of the Alps-Adriatic Alliance from 2022 until the end of 2025. Since 2026, the chairmanship has been held by the Croatian county of Međimurje.

overview of all AAA-Contact Points
Die Regional Contact Points act as service and information providers for all stakeholders involved in the cooperation network in all member regions of the AAA, and act as direct points of contact for project applicants. These regional contact points support the work of the TCPs (Thematic Coordination Points).
Thematic Coordination Points (TCPs) are responsible for setting up and developing a thematic network at all levels of cooperation (public, private, or in the sphere of civil society). In doing so, they provide support for the development and implementation of projects, and also act as service providers and platforms for communication when it comes to searching for suitable project partners, funding options, etc.
