In this context, Algerian universities are moving towards consolidating the concept of the Empowerment University, based on fostering a culture of initiative, encouraging the creation of startups and micro-enterprises, promoting the valorization of scientific research outcomes, and transforming ideas and innovations into projects, products and services with added value.

  1. A digital university and artificial intelligence at the service of students

The 2026-2027 academic year is marked by the continued expansion of digitalization and the development of university and educational services, helping bring services closer to students, simplify procedures and improve the quality of student support.

Artificial intelligence also represents one of the emerging pillars in the development of the Algerian university, through its use in education and training, scientific research, academic guidance, as well as in improving the performance of university administration and services, in line with the implementation of the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy.

  1. A university open to its environment

Mr. Baddari stressed the need to further strengthen the university’s openness to its economic and social environment and to transform knowledge and scientific research into practical tools that contribute to local and national development.

From “Seddik Ben Yahia” University of Jijel, the 2026-2027 academic year thus begins with a clear message: the Algerian university is continuing its process of transformation and modernization, placing students at the heart of its priorities and putting innovation, scientific research and digitalization at the service of development.
