The research projects conducted by the researchers at the institute fall under the following four categories: core, applicative, post-doctoral, and international (bilateral and multilateral). A list of past and ongoing projects is available online.

To date the institute has collaborated in altogether ten projects within different EU Framework Programmes. The faculty coordinates and governs the project Daphne and is part of Networks of Excellence Ramses2, Alpinet, and two network projects of the EU. From 2004 to 2009 the Faculty of Arts collaborated in 18 bilateral international science projects and 36 other international projects co-financed by the EU.
