As for national and international relations, and as to make Algeria a destination for international students, an activation for a platform dedicated to foreign students has been set up, to facilitate the registration process in the Algerian university institutions. Another social network platform has also been set up for Algerian graduates ‘ALUMNI’, and it is considered as the first social network for previous Algerian graduates, this platform will enable these students to transmit their experiences and know more about their professional status, as to consolidate their spirit of fulfillment and belonging to the Algerian institutions.
A software for detecting plagiarism has been also developed and activated.
On this occasion, Mr. Baddari answered questions from reporters relating to the digitalization and the digital platform in the sector of higher education and scientific research during a press conference.

Cooperation and partnership agreements for renewable energy storage systems development

On Saturday, February 18, 2023, the minister of higher education and scientific research Mr. Kamal Bidari escorted the minister of energy and mines, as well as the minister of the knowledge economy, startups and micro-enterprises to supervise a set of cooperation agreements among the sectors of higher education and scientific research, energy and mines, in addition to the sector of startups and micro-enterprises at the semiconductor technology research center of energetics.

This partnership and cooperation agreement signing comes in implementation of the Algerian council of ministers outcomes, which was conducted on February 5,2023, in which the Algerian president Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune had ordered the three sectors to coordinate in order to ensure research development in renewable energy systems. Furthermore, this signing aims to incarnate the government action plan, which includes in its subjects the energy security beside other aims that promote the valuation of scientific research results, and create fruitful interaction among sectors of the higher education and scientific research, energy and mines, startups and micro-enterprises.

The first agreement is related to the development of renewable energy storage systems, and it was concluded in association among the semiconductor technology research center, the renewable energy development center, and the national gas and electricity company “Sonalgaz”.

As for the second agreement, it is related to the development of cooperation in order to valuate research result in renewable energies sector, especially energy storage systems. This agreement was concluded between the semiconductor technology research center and the emergent company “The Most Optimal Solutions for Energy Transition”.

The minister of higher education and scientific research affirmed that both of the agreements signing, come in response to the Algerian president orders to achieve coordination and rapprochement among the three sectors, in order to bridge relations between university and enterprises, for further opening towards economic and social environment, in order to transfer technology to laboratories, and transform research results into modeling and fabrication, through the partnership among the scientific laboratories, the national gas and electricity company, and startups.

In the same context, the minister declared that his ministry would complete a model for energy storage batteries that are going to be at the disposal of the ministry of energy and mines, as well as the ministry of the knowledge economy. The completing rate of the prototype battery has reached 70 percent, and it will be able to store solar energy within four months, as it will be 100 percent Algerian made.

The minister of energy and mines, for his part, emphasized the importance of agreements signing, in order to invest in scientific research results. The semiconductor technology research center is undertaking different technological energy innovations that would help to generate and store energy, and use low cost and clean-energy alternatives, in addition to expanding electricity providing networks.

As for the minister of the knowledge economy, startups and micro-enterprises, he noted that Algeria is a country that has a high-energy potential par excellence, as he stressed the need to expand energy products to replace fossil energy. He added that Renewable energy is challenging the use of scientific research for the sake of saving and storing energy. In fact, our country has a high potential that makes it a technological pole in the renewable energy sector, through giving every possible opportunity to the national competencies abroad, and involve them in the development of energy storage systems.
