Algeria's High Council for the National Scientific Community Abroad has officially moved into its operational phase, less than two months after its establishment was approved by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. This significant transition from formation to action was marked by a recent meeting in Algiers involving Kamel Baddari, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and Professor Noureddine Melikechi, an Algerian physicist based in the United States and a founding member of the new body. During this gathering, which the ministry described as the effective launch of the Council's work, Professor Melikechi was named its Vice-Coordinator, signaling a concrete step towards mobilizing global Algerian scientific expertise for national development.<\/p>\n
The Council's initial focus centers on strengthening and facilitating technology transfer in areas deemed strategic for Algeria, alongside valorizing modern experiences and expertise to foster innovation and develop national skills. A primary initiative unveiled involves an academic mobility plan, designed to establish exchanges between the Chahid Abdelhafid Ihaddadene scientific and technological hub in Sidi Abdallah and UMass University in the United States. This program aims to create enduring links between the Algerian scientific ecosystem and international academic institutions, aligning with the Council's broader ambition to transition its relationship with the scientific diaspora from sporadic interactions to structured cooperation built on the transfer of knowledge, technologies, and methodologies across strategic sectors such as renewable energies, electronics, health, and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
The establishment and activation of the Council reflect a strategic national commitment, with President Tebboune having previously expressed the nation's pride in its global competencies and pledged to "open wide the doors" for their contribution to elevating Algeria among advanced nations. Minister Baddari underscored this vision, describing the initiative not merely as a formal event but as "the cornerstone and the beginning of a decisive founding phase for building a new and victorious Algeria," emphasizing the necessity of solidifying ties between Algerian academics abroad and domestic universities and research centers. This institutionalization aims to federate competencies, coordinate actions, and sustainably connect the diaspora to Algeria's academic and industrial sectors, transforming this dynamic into lasting partnerships and scientific projects directly contributing to the nation's development priorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
