Abstract: The article reveals data about the managerial performance of Universitaria Consortium; as subjects for national and international funding, the four universities have large numbers of finalized and ongoing educational and research projects, their deliverables affecting the institutional international ranking. The article tries to reveal if there is any connection between the number of nationally and internationally funded projects specific for each of the four institutions considered, and their international metaranking. The empirical study used an extensive analysis of a series of factors important for universities performance. Data was available on institutions websites, projects paperwork and relevant ministries reports. The conclusions of the article show that there is not a strong connection between the number of projects developed by universities and their academic performance, since subjects with lower educational route have some of the highest numbers of developed projects. The results are relevant not only for the institutional management of the four universities, but also for governmental and non-governmental funding programs managers, and the decisions they make for raising the competitiveness among applicants.
