The first national forum on “The Contribution of Artificial Intelligence to Ecological Design and Energy Transition in Algeria” was launched today, Monday, December 1, 2025, in the lecture hall of the sports complex at Blida 1 University. The forum was organized by the Laboratory of Energy Methods and Nanotechnology (LPEN) of the Faculty of Science and a number of academic and institutional partners.
The opening ceremony was attended by a select group of professors, researchers, and experts from various universities, headed by the Director of Adrar University, research centers, university staff, as well as representatives of emerging institutions and doctoral students, in a scientific meeting that seeks to promote the role of artificial intelligence in supporting energy transition and environmental innovation in Algeria.
On behalf of the University Director, Mr. Mohamed Rodane, the Vice President for Research, Professor Mohamed Rodane, began the session with a welcoming speech in which he praised the initiative to organize this symposium. He emphasized that artificial intelligence has become a cornerstone in developing effective solutions in the fields of energy and sustainability. He also reiterated the university’s commitment to supporting scientific initiatives and strengthening partnerships that promote research and innovation.
The first day featured a series of scientific presentations and specialized discussions that addressed key topics, including:
The role of artificial intelligence in enhancing energy efficiency and achieving sustainability.
Smart modeling for managing complex energy systems.
The use of big data to predict the environmental performance of buildings and structures.
Innovation in renewable energy through machine learning techniques.
Current challenges in Algeria’s energy transition and opportunities for collaboration between universities and the industrial sector.
In her speech, Dr. Halima Maazouz, Chair of the Symposium and Director of the (LPEN) Laboratory, emphasized that the goal of this event is to establish a serious scientific platform for exchanging experiences and exploring innovative solutions to environmental and energy challenges. She added that the diversity of the participants and the richness of the contributions reflect the growing vitality of scientific research in Algeria and the university’s leading role in driving innovation.
Ultimately, this symposium serves as an interactive space bringing together academics, researchers, and economic stakeholders, with the aim of enhancing the use of artificial intelligence in:
-
Eco-design and the food industry
-
Water resource management
-
Environmental sustainability and public health
-
Supporting green startups
These efforts aim to contribute to building a more sustainable Algerian model capable of keeping pace with global transformations in the fields of energy and the environment.
