As a non-partisan association of associations, clubs, institutions and other facilities with a pro-European orientation, the EBÖ advocates the promotion of the European idea. It is the national section (“Council”) of the European Movement International with its seat in Brussels and thus part of the largest and oldest pro-European civil society network in Europe .

According to its statutes, the EBÖ promotes European integration in Austria while preserving cultural and regional diversity as well as cross-border cooperation between European civil society.
