It develops its activities within an annual and multi-annual programming scheme with regional, national and EU economic resources.

Linguistics was a horizontal priority in the implementation of the Operational Programme of Basilicata 2000-2006 (i.e. it was a priority in the selection of actions, operations, projects). Every year, the Department carries out linguistic training courses for unemployed, young people, foreigners etc. in collaboration with the University of Basilicata.
