# Algeria

> Algeria hosts Africa's largest higher education system, with over 100 universities and research centers enrolling more than 1.7 million students. The USTHB (University of Sciences and Technology Houari Boumediene) is the country's premier STEM institution, producing significant output in mathematics, physics, and engineering. Research investment is strongly aligned with the strategic energy sector, with substantial output in petroleum engineering, natural gas processing, and hydrocarbon chemistry. The DGRSDT coordinates national research programs, manages competitive grants, and oversees international research partnerships. Growing investment in renewable energy research reflects Algeria's ambition to diversify beyond hydrocarbons, with solar energy and wind power research receiving increasing funding through national programs.
