Programs
ACA’s current focus areas include the following:
Public Policy
ACA advocates at the national and international levels to promote the position of Algerian Competences in science, technology and business. The advocacy agenda will be advanced through direct contacts with Algerian academic institutions, international scientific organizations, the Algerian government and the business community in Algeria and abroad.
Education
ACA works closely with academic institutions in Algeria and abroad, to develop, implement and promote educational short courses and professional training in science, technology and business. These courses target Algerian students as well as the scientific and business communities in Algeria. The implementation of such courses will rely on the expertise of ACA’s members.
Networking
ACA is committed to participate in major projects and specific programs organized by Algerian Universities and Institutions. Moreover ACA organizes events such as its annual conference, workshops and seminars in Algeria and abroad in order to establish a platform for the spread of applied knowledge amongst its members, Algerian students and in fact throughout the Algerian society as a whole. Those programs are structured at the human, scientific and communications levels in order to ensure that ACA continues to attract new generations of Algerian researchers and motivate them to effectively participate in Algeria-centric activities.
Research and Development
ACA participates, under the leadership of DG-RSDT and in partnership with Algerian institutions, the scientific community and private sectors, to the development of the different scientific disciplines, as well as business and economic programs, through various fundamental projects such as the creation of novel institutions and Centers of Excellence according to the long-term strategic goals defined by the governmental directives such as the law # 08-05 for Research & Development within the current 2008-2012 five-year program.
