Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research stresses, from Tipaza, the need to strengthen future-oriented fields and support entrepreneurship and innovation

As part of the ongoing field monitoring of the readiness of higher education institutions to welcome students, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Mr. Kamel Baddari, conducted a field visit to the university campus in Tipaza on Thursday, 10 September 2026. 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.

National University conference: A New Roadmap to Consolidate the Smart University, Strengthen Innovation and Create Wealth

The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Mr. Kamel Baddari, chaired the National University Conference today, July 25, 2026. The conference was attended by senior officials from the central administration, presidents of regional conferences, directors of university institutions, directors of national organizations, as well as representatives of students and social partners in the sector.
In his opening address, the Minister affirmed that the Algerian university has entered a new phase, defined by the smart university, the entrepreneurial university, and the university as a producer of knowledge and wealth, in implementation of the orientations of the President of the Republic aimed at building a knowledge-based economy and strengthening scientific and technological sovereignty.
During the cpnference, the roadmap for the new academic year was presented. It includes a number of major structural projects, notably:
• The launch of a personalized educational pathway for students, supported by artificial intelligence technologies, through the introduction of a smart assistant that will guide students in selecting their courses according to their skills, interests, and academic and professional objectives, thereby enabling them to build a training pathway tailored to their ambitions and abilities.
• The development of a Large Language Model (LLM) for university professors, enabling them to automatically prepare exercises and educational activities, while also using artificial intelligence technologies to assess students’ answers. This will contribute to improving the quality of education and keeping pace with the latest teaching practices.
• As part of strengthening the university’s economic role, the Minister announced that the sector aims to bring 5,000 innovative Algerian products to the national market by 2030, under the slogan “Made in Algeria.” Each product is expected to lead to the creation of a startup, a micro-enterprise, or a spin-off, thereby transforming the university into a hub for production, innovation, and wealth creation.
• The second edition of the “Proto Market” programme was also announced. It will focus on supporting the development of technological prototypes, with funding ranging from one million (DZD 1,000,000) to two million (DZD 2,000,000) for students, enabling them to complete their final prototypes and obtain the “Startup” label.
• In the field of innovative project financing, the Minister confirmed the establishment of the first venture capital investment company at the University of Algiers 3, as well as the launch of Algeria’s first Venture Capital Mutual Fund (FCPR), with plans to establish four additional funds before the end of the year, in order to provide sustainable financing mechanisms for innovative student projects.
• The Minister also highlighted that Algerian universities are undertaking, for the first time, the process of obtaining the ISO 9001:2015 international quality certification. Five university institutions have already obtained the certification in the fields of education and scientific research, reflecting the sector’s commitment to promoting a culture of quality and continuous improvement.
• In the area of international engagement, the Minister called for increased efforts to improve the visibility of Algerian universities in international rankings, in light of the positive results achieved in recent years, and to further strengthen their scientific and academic presence internationally.
• The results of the university twinning programme were also presented, with a total of 77 twinning agreements, alongside the encouraging results achieved by the “Study in Algeria” platform, which has attracted 1,500 new international students from 34 countries. This contributes to enhancing the international standing of Algerian universities and generating significant foreign-currency revenues for the national economy.
• In the field of university services, significant progress has been recorded in improving students’ accommodation conditions, with 2,283 accommodation units renovated out of a total of 3,283. In addition, financial savings estimated at several billion dinars per month have been achieved since April through the digitalisation of catering services. This has directly contributed to rationalising expenditure, improving the quality of meals, and enhancing the quality of accommodation services provided to students.
