The EL@N project is a joint national project proposed in the line with the national priorities established under the Erasmus + projects. The consortium of this project consists of 6 language centers (CEILs) of the Algerian universities Tlemcen, Biskra, Bejaia, Guelma, Ouargla, and Oran. The geographical coverage of the six universities is fairly representative of the Algerian territory. The Program counties are represented by 4 European universities: Sapienza de Rome, Valencienne, Santiago de Compostela and Istanbul University. The general objective of EL@N is to promote the multilingualism and the intercultural dialog through the modernisation of the teaching practices of the CEILs. The introduction of a comprehensive digital environment for language education in the CEILs. It aims at setting up an e-Learning platform that allows the networking of CEILs and both the capitalization and sharing of digital resources required for modern, efficient and interactive language learning. In addition, EL@N aims to build local capacity and the acquisition of multiple skills necessary for the development and management of a digital platform.The EL@N project aims to respond primarily to the needs of the university community, students at all levels (LMD) and faculty members and to cope with the constraints related to learning foreign languages and related problems. EL@N aims to offer adapted and on line training to different target audiences to overcome the problems of distance and time (rural areas, heavy schedule of students and staff ...), and to train learners in accordance with the specific needs of the socio-economic world and the labor market.

The InPROVE project (Initiation du PROcessus de Validation des acquis de l’Expérience par l’enseignement supérieur en Algérie) aims to develop and implement a framework for the assessment of prior work experience (non-formal learning) as the basis for a partial or full validation of a university diploma in Algeria. The InPROVE consortium consists of the Ministry of Higher Education, six Algerian universities, two partners representing the Algerian socio-economic community and six European partners.The main outputs of InPROVE include:- guidelines describing a management structure able to support a Validation of Prior Experience (VPE) application, together with their access portal,- a methodology for evaluating VPE applications,- 15 educational programmes described in terms of business skills blocks.In addition, the project foresees and supports the introduction of:- a network of fully trained VPE counsellors, able to inform and support efficiently the candidates- a network of teachers trained in skills assessment,- a network of teachers able to transcribe educational programmes in terms of business skills blocks,The final objective of InPROVE is to perform, on the 15 formatted educational programmes, the experimentation of the whole developed structure and methodology by offering VPE opportunities to real candidates.The expected impacts of the project are:- for the Ministry of Higher Education, examples of fully reusable good practices regarding VPE, currently recognized as a key priority in the context of the specificities of the Algerian society,- for the Algerian universities, the availability of fully trained staff able to support another way of delivering diplomas while strengthening continuing education,- for the socio-economic sector, new opportunities to enhance the career development of their staff.

"The number of students having access to higher education system in South Mediterranean countries more than doubled in 15 years. This positive step forward involves in parallel important difficulties for universities to handle overcrowding. In STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), one promising solution matching the national priorities in Algeria, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia concerns the development of nationally accredited e-learning trainings (""e-engineering trainings""), e-learning being a very modern and efficient solution to integrate multiple profiles of students.The main originality of the e-LIVES project is to make sure that beneficiary partners will be 100% independent for creating and managing an e-engineering training at the end of the project. e-LIVES will propose innovative e-engineering solutions to deal with a range of administrative, human and material obstacles to HEIs modernisation. These solutions will be identified after providing a critical mapping of e-engineering best practices and will be developed in an innovative way and innovative format (tutorials, technical and summary data sheets, trainee practical exercises, open workshops, etc) on real conditions in each beneficiary partner.E-Lives project pursues the 5 following specific objectives:- Identification of best practices in order to build high-quality e-engineering trainings- Development of reliable remote laboratory solutions with online access to Practical Works 24/24 and 7/7.- Development of practical open staff trainings in South Mediterranean universities- Control and value the pedagogical innovation solutions used- Promote e-engineering within the South Mediterranean countries mainly through National Dissemination Workshops in all the partner countries involved in the project.Know-how sharing and learning by doing approach will ensure ownership of the e-LIVES e-engineering solutions and sustainability of the future developed trainings."

"The project ""Creation of Digital Capacities for the Management of Quality Assurance in Algerian Higher Education"" (DIGITAQ) aims to provide quality assurance activities in Algeria with a networked information system based on a national database, capable of meeting all operational and even prospective needs. Indeed, DIGITAQ makes it possible to perpetuate the culture and management through quality assurance in Algerian universities with the help of a digital medium facilitating the collection and processing of data. The project intends to act at different levels (local, national and international), while building on the achievements and achievements of Algerian universities. The aim is to design a federative and collaborative system for managing the information generated by the activities and the quality assurance programme. Thanks to the QA platform, each stakeholder, wherever they are, can access an unprecedented amount of information. The innovative nature of the DIGITAQ project will enable decision-makers and managers of HEIs to have access to indicators grouped together in a dashboard allowing them to monitor and control all their activities.Moreover, the networking of all the Quality Assurance Commissions will contribute to developing collaboration between Algerian universities among themselves but also with European partners. The overall objective of the DIGITAQ project is to perpetuate the culture and management through quality assurance in Algerian universities with the help of a digital medium facilitating the collection and processing of data."

The Euro-African Network of Excellence for Innovation and Entrepreneurship - INSTART – aims at improving the knowledge triangle by promoting an effective Innovation culture in Higher Education, and starting up Innovative modes of association and interaction between Universities, Businesses and Society in order to enhance the socio-economic environment across the South Mediterranean Region (MED).The Consortium is composed of 4 Universities, and one Scientific and Technological Park from EU countries - Spain, Portugal, Italy and Poland- and 12 Universities from Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia with support from social partners as Chambers of Commerce, Clusters, Networks and Associations from these MED countries. Making university’s activities more visible and accessible to companies and other stakeholders is important to contribute to economic growth by combining their collective knowledge and skills. The INSTART project develops innovative mechanisms to promote University Excellence in Innovation and Entrepreneurship and to increase University-business cooperation through the Mediterranean. To catch up on knowledge production, INSTART will implement the training Transversal Accelerator Program with innovative learning tools for different targets groups (professors, technical, graduates, postgraduates), focuses on new skills in Innovation and Entrepreneurship having a transversal impact on interesting disciplines for the Region (as Agriculture, Economics, Education and Engineering). In order to improve the capacities, create and reinforce structures of Innovation at the MED Universities, the project will develop a training Program including a visit period in Europe, and thus starting a best practice transfer Systems for long-term cooperation between MED-EU Universities. INSTART project is designed to encourage Mediterranean Higher Education Institutions to become a referent for innovation and entrepreneurship in the labour market and society as a whole.
