Here are projects that AgMnet+ members are coordinating or involved in.
- Project title: Aedes Invasive Mosquitoes AIM COST Action CA17108
- Acronym: AIM COST
- Type/financed by: COST Action
- Objective: With increasing trade and travel, several Aedes species have been introduced into Europe and are now spreading spectacularly rapidly becoming a widespread significant public health risk which needs to be effectively addressed, as testified by recent cases of autochthonous chikungunya and dengue transmission.

- Project title: Selection of sweet and sour cherry dwarfing rootstocks and development of intensive cultivation technology based on sustainable agriculture principles Ev. No. TR31038
- Type/financed by: Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of Republic of Serbia
- Objectiv: Sweet and sour cherry scion and rootsotck breeding

- Project title: Improvement of field forage crops agronomy and grassland management (TR31016)
- Type/financed by: Ministry of Science and Technological Development of Republic of Serbia
- Objectiv: The aim of the research is to intensify the use of annual forage crops in crop production based on the principles of the sustainable agriculture and the possibility of growing annual forages in intercropping. The aim also includes the use of cover crops in the establishment of perennial legumes, as well as the improvement of productivity and quality of permanent grasslands by applying different management practice.
- Lead partner: PFNS (Prof. Dr Branko Ćupina project coordinator)
- Project title: Cover crops for enhanced agricultural sustainability in the Vojvodina province (114-451-2180/2016)
- Type/financed by: Provincial Secretariat for Higher Education and Scientific Research
- Objective: The aim of the research is to determine the impact of forage cover crops grown in crop rotation on the improvement of soil properties (increase of soil nitrogen content for the main crop, increase the organic matter content etc.) and sustainability of agricultural production in general.
- Lead partner: PFNS (Prof. Dr Branko Ćupina project coordinator)
- Project title: Supporting the Austrian Research Community in using recent Climate Change Projections for Climate Impact Studies

- Project title: Surveillance of invasive and native mosquito vectors and pathogens they transmit in Montenegro
- Acronym: LOVCEN
- Type/financed by: The World Bank Group
- Objectiv: Mosquito vectors and mosquito-borne diseases are raising threat to Europe, which impact strength is difficult to predict. Their surveillance and control require efficient and appropriately standardised methods, integrated knowledge and awareness among researchers, academic educators and policy-makers.
