Supporting the internationalization of higher education and research in Algeria
LoadingThe Algerian NCP network informs, advises and guides Algerian institutions and project holders on European and international research, innovation, education and cooperation programmes.
It helps identify the relevant programme or call and directs each request to the right thematic, legal, financial or methodological expertise.
Browse the directoryService principles: transparency, equal access, impartiality, confidentiality and a “no wrong door” rule. Network advice does not guarantee that a project will be selected.
The national cell, hosted by the DCEU, coordinates the network and routes requests. NCPs and referents provide specialised expertise; local cells are the first point of contact on campus.
Dual anchoring: NCPs sit in the national cell, in local cells, and in the functional network between the two.
MESRS: Directorate of Cooperation and University Exchanges
Strategic authority: orientations, resources and evaluation.
National cell: DCEU
National NCPs embedded in the cell. National secretariat, coordination, request routing, deadline follow-up and reporting.
National NCP network
Functional link between national and local levels. Programme expertise, guidance, capitalisation and training of local relays. It is not a third hierarchical layer.
Local cells: institutions
NCPs and referents embedded in local cells. Identify applicants, run a first diagnosis, refer to the network and provide close follow-up.
Project holders
First contact and follow-up through the institution’s local cell.
1. National authority
The MESRS appoints NCPs and sets the national framework. National NCPs sit in the national cell.
2. National cell → NCP network
Mandate, qualification and request assignment. The network returns alerts, results and proposals.
3. NCP network: the bridge
National NCPs ⇄ local NCPs / referents. Expertise, guidance, shared tools and capitalisation.
4. NCP network ⇄ local cells
Local cells refer to the network and follow the applicant. NCPs provide expertise and train local relays.
Key: blue = institutional authority and coordination · orange = functional continuity of NCPs · green = local proximity cells.
Phase 1: the network is organised around four clusters aligned with national priorities, plus three cross-cutting functions shared by all clusters.
Algerian NCP network
Cluster 1
Health, life sciences and biotechnologies
Cluster 2
Food security, agriculture, water and bioeconomy
Cluster 3
Energy, climate and sustainable mobility
Cluster 4
Digital, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity
These functions apply to every cluster.
Legal, financial and eligibility
Participant status, third countries, agreements, budgets, audits and contractual obligations.
Partnerships and project engineering
Partner search, consortia, scientific diaspora, proposal review and preparation for coordination.
Technical assistance on quality and impact
Quality assurance, indicators, results monitoring, impact measurement, capitalisation and continuous improvement.
Why these clusters? The first three reflect the 2025 National Research Programme priorities: citizen health, food security and energy security. The fourth reflects the national priority given to AI, digital technologies and cybersecurity.
