UNIBA participates in numerous national, regional and EU funded projects. In 2015, 12 projects were funded by structural and cohesion funds for which UNIBA is partner or leader; 4 of them were funded in Horizon 2020, 6 in Marie-Curie and 9 in FP7. UNIBA is also very active in participating in educational projects (TEMPUS IV, LLP) and Erasmus+ Program. It is Leader in one of the three Erasmus+ projects, KA2, granted in 2015, and partner in 2 of them. Scientific relations are promoted by 199 collaboration agreements with other Universities from European and non-European Countries.

After the Italian University Reform (2010), people involved at the former Faculty of Agriculture were re-arranged between the Dept. of Soil, Plant and Food Sciences (DiSSPA) and the Dept. of Agro-Environmental and Territorial Sciences (DiSAAT). DiSSPA jointly to DiSAAT performs undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate education in all agriculture and forestry fields with study programs projected to basic, applied and development studies, and to the innovation transfer towards the productive sectors, also actively participating in professional collaborations.
The project will be implemented mainly by DiSSPA.
