During the visit, he reviewed the level of preparedness of university facilities and infrastructure and was briefed on a number of projects and initiatives aimed at improving university performance and strengthening its role in serving national development.
During his meeting with the Rector and the management team of the “Morsli Abdullah” University of Tipaza, the Minister stressed the need to invest in excellence fields and future-oriented professions, particularly artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, renewable energy and biotechnology. This approach will contribute to developing qualified national skills capable of keeping pace with technological and economic transformations and strengthening the foundations of the country’s economic sovereignty.
The Minister also stressed that introducing English as a language of instruction in certain university programmes and fields is part of the response to the rapid transformations taking place in the global economy and the technological sector. This approach offers students broader prospects for entering the labour market, accessing global knowledge and strengthening their capacities in research and innovation.
The Minister noted that this orientation, supported by the university’s growing momentum in entrepreneurship and innovation, will contribute to strengthening the position of the University of Tipaza as a national hub for exchange and interaction, capable of attracting talent and projects and consolidating the university’s openness to its economic environment, thereby ensuring greater alignment between university education and the needs of the national economy.
In the same context, Mr. Kamel Baddari called for particular attention to be given to the startup hub, inaugurated in 2024 and dedicated to student entrepreneurs, as a vital space for hosting innovative economic projects, supporting students with ideas and projects, fostering a culture of initiative and entrepreneurship, and transforming knowledge and ideas into added value and wealth.
The Minister further stressed that, in light of current transformations, the University of Tipaza is called upon to move beyond its traditional role of transmitting knowledge towards becoming a producer of knowledge, a generator of innovation and an active partner in economic development. This would enable the university to contribute to job and wealth creation and to strengthening the knowledge-based economy.
These orientations are part of a new vision adopted by the University of Tipaza, which places future-oriented fields, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, English, entrepreneurship and innovation at the heart of its strategy as key levers for building a fourth-generation university capable of keeping pace with global transformations, responding to the needs of the national economy and contributing effectively to the achievement of national sustainable development objectives.
