The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research inspects the university city in Constantine

On 2 February 2026, Mr. Kamel Baddari, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, conducted a working and inspection visit to the university city in Constantine, to review research and training projects at university institutions and research centres.
Accompanied by the governor of the province and his delegation, Mr. Kamel Baddari began his visit at the Agricultural Biotechnological Station. This station specialises in producing banana seedlings, which are recognised as a marketed Algerian research product, affiliated with the National Biotechnology Research Centre.
The station serves as a model farm and a centre of excellence in tissue culture agriculture. It focuses on marketing its banana seedlings produced for farmers. This initiative is part of the integration and collaboration between the Ministries of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries, and Higher Education and Scientific Research, aimed at supporting national production.
The minister and his accompanying delegation then went to “Salah Boubnider” University in Constantine 3, where he oversaw the launch of the single window at the Technopole Constantine Hill. This will benefit the students with projects who wish to implement their innovative ideas. It is the second single window nationally, contributing to bringing administration closer to students and supporting their start-ups. This initiative is part of the administrative and financial support that the state provides to project holders and innovative entrepreneurs.

The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research answers questions from the members of the Council of the Nation

On 25 December 2025, Mr. Kamel Baddari, the minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, attended a plenary session at the Council of the Nation, chaired by the Council’s president, Mr. Azouz Nasri. The session was dedicated to answering the oral questions from several government members. Four of these were directed at the sector and were asked by members of the Council of the Nation.
Mr. Lakhdar Moulay Saadoun: The mechanisms and priorities set by the Ministry for utilising scientific research to achieve sustainable development and national security in the country;
Mr. Youcef Laarab: The timeframe for providing buses to transport students from certain municipalities in the province of El Tarf to their university;
Mr. Abderraouf Fakhr Eddine Ghanem: The timeframe for registering the independent university centre in the province of Touggourt, as part of the national university development plan;
Mr. Miloud Kaddouri: The reasons that prevented the inclusion of the Nour El Bachir University Centre in El Bayadh among the centres that were promoted to university status, and whether the authorities will consider this request.
Mr. Baddari clarified that the Algerian university is committed to fulfilling its economic role. He stated that it “aims to be a genuine driver of national development, relying on knowledge-based and innovative economies.”
To align with the developmental vision outlined by the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, for the period of 2024-2029, the university has included artificial intelligence, robotics, and all that relates to future professions into its training programmes. The minister adds that the scientific and technological hub of Sidi Abdellah offers specialisations in autonomous systems’ technology, applied mathematics, cybersecurity, nanoscience, and more.
The minister stated that all efforts are aimed at confirming that “Algeria has kept pace with developments occurring in higher education and scientific research internationally by training engineers in various specialities. The results of this training will become evident within 5 to 10 years.
Mr. Kamel Baddari recalled some of the research results recorded over the past two years: “3,249 patents, 310 start-ups, 2,611 student-run micro-entreprises, 430 subsidiaries across 117 university institutions, and 76 innovative projects oriented towards the economic sector.”
In addition, the higher education and scientific research sector has partnered with economic sectors such as agriculture through the production of feed and livestock breeding within the framework of smart agriculture.
In this regard, he revealed that “a new type of feed will soon be available in the national markets.” This was produced as part of the collaboration between the Desert Agriculture Research Centre and the agricultural sector.
Regarding the enhancement of semi-urban university transport services for students residing in districts and municipalities distant from the educational institutions in the province of El Tarf, it is important to note this category of student benefits from accommodation services at university residences without exception. Given the considerable availability of accommodation services at the directorate, the current situation does not require the establishment of semi-urban university transport. Nevertheless, 19 buses have been allocated for semi-urban transport this academic year.
As for the registration of a university centre project in the province of Touggourt, the sector does not oppose this initiative. However, it is essential to follow organisational procedures, which primarily begin with the accompanying university institution (the University of Ouargla), who must initiate the request once the project meets the necessary pedagogical, scientific and structural conditions. The proposed project will then be presented to the country’s higher authorities for approval.
On the subject of the promotion of the “Nour El Bachir” University Centre to university status, the sector will certainly support it in its evolution to university status, based on a study of its development project and its alignment with the established promotion criteria.

Inauguration of two model projects in the fields of renewable energy and sustainable agriculture

On Tuesday 17 June 2025, Mr. Kamel Baddari, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, was joined by officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries, for the inauguration of two model projects in the fields of renewable energy and sustainable agriculture, at the Technical Institute for Animal Breeding (ITELV).

These two projects are part of the National Research Program (PNR), in partnership with the Solar Equipment Development Unit (UDES), which operates under the Center for Renewable Energy Development (CDER).

The first project involves around the creation of a hydroponic growing room that is powered entirely by solar energy. This comprehensive solution enables the production of green fodder in challenging climatic conditions.  This system enables the daily production of up to 126 kg of green fodder through the cultivation of 18 trays of barley in climate-controlled environment with regulated heat, humidity and lighting. Advanced systems for ventilation and water filtration systems are also employed. With its small footprint and vertical design, this innovation a practical and efficient alternative for producing fodder, directly contributing to the improvement of food security and reducing costs.

The second project concerns the development of a solar evaporative cooling system designed for poultry farm buildings. Combining direct and indirect cooling, it significantly reduces temperatures by up to 16 degrees Celsius. This system is considered a sustainable solution that enhances the quality of farming conditions, and reduces poultry mortality during the summer, positively impacting productivity and agricultural income. This is particularly important in light of the rising traditional energy costs and the increasing effects of climate change.
