The Higher Educational System in Algeria
E ighty - f our ( 84 ) h i gher educat ion institutions covering all the country. This network consists of :
• Thirty six (36) Universities,
• Fifteen (15) Academic Centers,
• Sixteen (16) National Schools,
• Five (05) teacher training colleges,
• Ten (10) preparatory schools
• Two(02) Integrated Preparatory Classes.

The total Number of students for the
2012-2013 school year is about 1.8 million
failure of policy research before 1998
• Any research policy can achieve its objec2ves or yield convincing results without a clear and rigorous
organiza2on where the responsibili2es of all par2es
involved in both upstream and downstream, in
terms of performance as the assessment, are
previously well define
Why?
• segmenta2on of the research ac2vity between different operators,
• the lack of organiza2on and logis2cal support for the benefit of research at the university.
• compartmentaliza2on and rigidity in the rela2onship between the different sectors involved in research,
• The lack of op2miza2on of the results of university research.
Poli2cal will for change.
Na2onal policy of scien2fic and technical research has been, for the first 2me in 1998, a law of orienta2on and programming for five-‐year projec2on on scien2fic research and technological development.
Will of the government: the research ac2vity in science and technology are the center of the process of building a modern na2on.

Research, Innova2on and Technology Transfer: Three missions interdependent
25
Importance of research and innova2on
• Both of them are a key factor for economic development and social progress.
Research has a key role in Higher educa2on • The rela2onship between research and higher educa2on is interac2ve , one can not fully develop without the contribu2on of the other.
Research and Innova2on are two fields Interdependent :
• An advanced scien2fic research requires sophis2cated technology resources,
• Technological innova2on requires a developed scien2fic knowledge.
Algerian Strategy for innova2on : Crea2on of Poles of excellence
The Na2onal determina2on to create centers of excellence is in order to: • Bridging the Gap between University, enterprise and research centers.
• Respond to the market demand by developing training cycles more adapted to the professional world.
• Be a center of exper2se • Providing human resources for development.

• Life sciences,
• health technologies,
• Earth sciences, natural resources, land plannig
Implementa2on of the system of Excellence: Schedule to develop partnership research and link research and economical partners. Beginning of 2011: A shared commitment of research actors partnership to join forces in response to business demands.
End of 2011: launch of the first excellence pole. 2012: Establishment of excellence device. End 2014: func2onality of the excellence poles.
