Ministers of Higher Education and Scientific Research and Finance Preside over the Official Listing of “CRAPC Expertise” on the Algiers Stock Exchange

The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Mr. Kamel Baddari, together with the Minister of Finance, Mr. Abdelkrim Bouzred, presided over the official listing ceremony of CRAPC Expertise, a subsidiary company of the Research Center, on the Algiers Stock Exchange on 14 July 2026, making it the first company established by a national scientific research center to enter the Algerian capital market.

This milestone represents a historic achievement and a strategic turning point in the valorization of scientific research and in strengthening the contribution of universities and research centers to economic development. The public offering recorded a subscription coverage rate of 104.55%, reflecting two key indicators:

First, the strong confidence that investors and economic stakeholders place in the outcomes of Algerian scientific research, confirming the value of investing in national innovation.

Second, the success of the Higher Education and Scientific Research sector’s strategy to transform universities and research centers from purely academic institutions into economic actors that actively contribute to wealth creation, job generation, and sustainable development.

This achievement embodies the vision of the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to build a knowledge- and innovation-based national economy. It also reflects the practical implementation of the Fourth-Generation University (University 4.0) concept through University Empowerment, strengthening the role of universities and research institutions in valorizing scientific research outcomes and transforming knowledge and innovation—particularly in the fields of chemistry and physics—into high-value industrial and commercial solutions capable of competing in the domestic market and expanding into international markets.

The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research electronically signs the ministerial circular regarding the guidance of new Bachelor’s degree graduates for the 2026 session: towards a digital and smart university that creates the jobs of tomorrow.

The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Mr. Kamel Baddari, officially launched the 2026 Baccalaureate Holders’ Orientation and Registration Guide on 7 July 2026 at the Ministry’s headquarters. In a new format, the circular reflects the sector’s vision aimed at building a digital, open, intelligent university that creates the professions of tomorrow, by consolidating digital transformation and modernizing the orientation and training system in order to meet the requirements of development and technological changes.
During a press conference devoted to presenting the content of Ministerial Circular No. 01 on the orientation and registration of 2026 baccalaureate holders, as well as the key features of the upcoming academic year, the Minister explained that the guide has been fully digitalised as an interactive online platform, enabling students to access all university orientation information and services easily and efficiently.
He announced that all registration procedures, whether academic or administrative, will be conducted exclusively online starting 15 July 2026, through dedicated digital platforms accessible via computers and smartphones, eliminating the need for physical attendance. A dedicated application will also be launched to allow new students to calculate their weighted average according to university admission criteria.
As part of the smart orientation initiative, the guide incorporates, for the first time, a Large Language Model (LLM) powered by artificial intelligence within the digital orientation platform. This feature enables students to ask questions and receive instant, personalised responses around the clock. In addition, data mining technologies will be used to analyse students’ preferences and optimise the orientation process. The number of programme choices available to applicants has also been increased from 10 to 12, providing greater flexibility in selecting academic pathways.
Regarding the development of academic programmes, the Minister announced the introduction of 13 new specialisations aligned with future professions, including a State Engineering programme in Artificial Intelligence, as part of the national objective of training 30,000 AI specialists by 2030. Other newly introduced programmes include an Integrated Master’s in Quantum Technologies, a Master’s in Information Systems Interoperability, and a Master’s in Space Systems Mechanics.
In coordination with the Ministry of Health, several new programmes in medicine and health sciences have also been introduced, including a Bachelor’s degree in Oral Health and Dental Hygiene, Master’s programmes in Genetic Counselling, Medical Artificial Intelligence, Medical Bioinformatics, and Addiction Studies, the opening of a Pharmacy programme at the University of Saïda, accreditation of a Master’s programme in Anaesthesia, and the creation of a Postgraduate Diploma in Precision Medicine.
The upcoming academic year will also strengthen programmes promoting national identity through the introduction of a programme in Information and Communication Sciences taught in the Amazigh language, specialising in audiovisual studies. Furthermore, the international dimension of higher education will be reinforced through six new programmes established under twinning agreements and partnerships with foreign universities, enhancing the national and international recognition of Algerian university degrees.
The Minister also announced several additional measures, including the enrolment of 35,000 new students in Higher Teacher Training Schools with direct employment contracts, the introduction of the Lean Start-up module into academic curricula, the upgrading of seven medical annexes into full faculties, increasing the total number of medical faculties to 21, the generalisation of the courses History of Algeria and Citizenship and Patriotism across all fields of study, and the integration of higher education institutions under the Ministry of Culture and Arts into the PROGRES digital information system.
In conclusion, Mr. Kamel Baddari reviewed the achievements of the previous academic year, which included the online launch of the National Qualifications Framework, the graduation—for the first time in the history of Algerian higher education—of a cohort of students who completed their entire academic journey without using paper, as well as the graduation of the first cohorts from the National Higher School of Mathematics and the National Higher School of Artificial Intelligence. These achievements demonstrate the rapid modernisation of Algerian higher education and reinforce its position as a digital, innovative, and internationally oriented university system.
