Presentation
In a global context marked by climate urgency, energy transition, and digital transformation,
Algeria has firmly committed itself to the development of renewable energies and intelligent
systems, in line with its national strategies for energy transition, economic diversification, and
technological sovereignty.
Algeria’s national projects in the fields of solar photovoltaic energy, wind power, energy
efficiency, smart grids, artificial intelligence applied to energy, and the digitalization of
energy systems now constitute major drivers for sustainable, innovative, and competitive
development.
Within this framework, the National Conference on Renewable Energies and Intelligent
Systems aims to serve as a high-level scientific platform bringing together researchers, faculty
members, engineers, PhD candidates, industrial stakeholders, and institutional decision-
makers in order to promote knowledge exchange, enhance the valorization of research
outcomes, and strengthen synergies between academic research and strategic national
projects.
This conference aspires to position Algerian scientific research at the core of present and
future energy challenges, with a strong emphasis on innovative, intelligent, and context-
adapted solutions.
