Welcome to ICC – Intercountry Committees Austria

The Austrian Intercountry Committees 2026

Rotary's Intercountry Committees (ICC) are one of Rotary International's oldest network organizations. It is an association of Rotary clubs or delegates in two or more countries. The focus is on maintaining friendly relations between the countries involved, based on mutual interest with the aim of exchanging ideas and collaborating on projects

  • to promote better understanding and knowledge about each other,
  • thereby reducing prejudices
  • and to make an important contribution to international understanding and peace.

The first ICC was founded in 1950 between Germany and France on the initiative of Governors Coutant from RC Lille and Haussmann from RC Stuttgart. There are now over 700 ICCs connecting nations in the Rotary world.

There are currently 21 ICCs in Austria (D1910 and D1920) and five in Bosnia and Herzegovina (D1910). The ICC National Coordinators are PDG Walter Ebner (RC Gmunden, walter.ebner@rotary.at) for Austria and PP Nedžad Pirić (RC Tuzla, piric.nedzad@gmail.com) for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Austrian ICC chairs and interested Rotarians meet online every two months on the 3rd Wednesday at 19:00 for a regular Jour Fixe, with upcoming dates on April 15, 2026, and June 17, 2026. These meetings,, which are open to all interested Rotarians, focus on promoting international understanding and reducing prejudice. 

Furthermore, there are 3 inactive Intercountry Committees (ICCs) that we would love to see interested Rotarians get involved with: USA - China - Japan.
