Summary of the Doctoral Program Launch at the University of Boumerdes
On October 3, 2023, at the University M’hamed-Bougara in Boumerdes, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Kamel Baddari launched the official doctoral program for the academic year 2024/2025. This event was attended by students and faculty representatives, along with virtual participation from university officials across Algeria.
In his inaugural speech, Baddari emphasized the alignment of the new doctoral training with Algeria’s strategic goals, particularly focusing on innovation and the practical application of scientific research. He highlighted the role of universities as pivotal in fostering competitiveness and contributing to sustainable development.
Baddari described the doctoral candidates as "representatives of innovative Algeria" who add value to the national economy, especially amid the current push for economic diversification. He stated that this doctoral initiative aims to enhance economic well-being, tackle Algeria’s challenges, promote knowledge hubs, encourage innovation, and create jobs.
Reflecting on the historical role of the University of Boumerdes since Algeria’s independence—especially in the nationalization of hydrocarbons—Baddari asserted that the goals of an "Algeria in victory" will be realized through universities as part of the state’s development vision from 2024 to 2029.
He noted President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s strong emphasis on the Algerian university system, which serves as a key engine of national economic growth and societal progress. The minister pointed out that Algerian universities have now become centers for innovation and entrepreneurship, utilizing cutting-edge approaches like artificial intelligence and business incubators.
During his visit, Baddari was presented with various projects from the university’s Laboratory of Excellence, including intelligent electricity meters, battery management systems, prototypes of lead-acid batteries, and a platform for integrating renewable energy into a smart grid. He also reviewed a smart surveillance project and a national research initiative ready for production and commercialization, which includes developing natural enzymes for eco-friendly cleaning products.
The visit further included inspections of the university’s incubators, accelerated startups, a medical management platform, a medical nutrition platform, and a training workshop focused on modeling and artificial intelligence.
This initiative marks a significant step toward advancing Algeria’s educational and economic landscape, aligning with the nation’s future aspirations for innovation and development.
