Institutional framework for the valorization of scientific research results in Algeria

Abstract EN

Since independence, Algeria paid attention to the scientific research and technological development system; as it is a key factor in economic development.

however, the efforts made by the state from 1962 to 1998 did not help much to revive the scientific research process, in which the results of scientific research and studies remained far from the economic sector.

in order to ensure the openness of the scientific research sector to the economic institutions' world, since 1992, Algeria has embarked on a series of reforms, the most important of which is the issuance of law N° 98 / 11 containing orientation law and five-year projection program on scientific research and technological development (1998-2002), which established a national strategy aimed at promoting scientific research.

law N° 15-21 embodied this strategy by establishing a homogeneous and stable regulatory and institutional framework that guarantees the transfer of scientific and technical expertise existing within research institutions to the industrial and economic sectors.

this law also highlighted the state's will to enable Algerian researchers to communicate their research results to the economic sector by allowing universities and research centers to establish economic branches or take shares in institutions concerned with the valorization of scientific research.
