Since 2001, the University of Bihać has participated in a number of projects, including development projects, capacity-building projects, and scientific research projects. Funding is provided through various programs, primarily those financed by the European Union, such as the CARDS program, IPA, TEMPUS, Lifelong Learning, Erasmus+, EUREKA, COST, etc. In addition to EU programs, projects at the University of Bihać are also largely funded through programs financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Una-Sana Canton, as well as other ministries, embassies, and the private sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Federal Ministry of Education and Science, through its support programs for the development of science in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has for many years funded scientific research and research and development projects carried out by the staff at the University of Bihać. Each year, the Ministry allocates significant funds through contracts for the funding/co-funding of programs and projects in the field of science, as well as through public calls for funding/co-funding of scientific research and research and development projects in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of the Una-Sana Canton supports the development of scientific and research work at the University of Bihać. Funding for the implementation and co-financing of scientific research and research-development programmes and projects is provided from the Budget of the Una-Sana Canton, with the aim of strengthening institutional capacities and promoting scientific excellence within the Canton. The financing and co-financing of these programmes and projects contribute to the improvement of scientific work and the advancement of research activities, with the allocated funds serving as direct support for the development of scientific research in the Una-Sana Canton.

The Erasmus+ program, financed by the European Union, is not directly related to science projects but focuses on capacity-building projects for higher education institutions through the KA2 subprogram. The University of Bihać has been actively participating in this subprogram for many years, as well as in the KA1 subprogram for international credit mobility, which enables teaching staff mobility for the purpose of conducting lectures and attending training related to professional development in various scientific fields. The university staff actively participates in this program, resulting in a growing number of projects and increasing mobility of teaching staff, students, and non-teaching staff year by year.

A list of domestic and international projects is available in a PDF-document.

EUREKA is a European network that finances market-oriented projects in various technical fields. EUREKA supports the creation of partnerships through joint multilateral projects with the aim of strengthening European competitiveness.

COST is the oldest framework for scientific cooperation among European countries, allowing researchers and innovators to establish their own research networks across a wide range of scientific topics, known as COST Actions. Project funding is provided at the national level, and research results are shared among all project participants. These are typically projects of mutual interest to multiple countries or of general interest (e.g., environment, oceanography, meteorology), and often serve to establish common standards across Europe. While initial emphases were on telecommunications, information technology, transport, materials, oceanography, meteorology, and environmental issues, today's initiatives increasingly focus on social sciences, chemistry, medical research, and forestry.
