Congratulations

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Algeria’s university and research community on this outstanding scientific achievement: the inclusion of a distinguished group of Algerian researchers in the 2026 Stanford–Elsevier list of the world’s top 2% most influential researchers. This progress is reflected in the increase in the number of Algerian researchers included in the career-long scientific impact list, from 38 to 45 researchers, including four ranked among the top ten in the Maghreb region. The number of researchers included in the annual scientific impact list has also risen from 80 to 101, including five ranked among the top ten in the Maghreb region. These achievements highlight the wealth of scientific talent within our universities and their capacity to contribute to knowledge production and expand the horizons of innovation. While recognizing this well-deserved distinction, we reaffirm our commitment to further strengthening the standing of Algerian universities in the international scientific community, enhancing their research visibility, and making knowledge a driving force for national development and future progress. Congratulations to our outstanding researchers. May they continue to excel and contribute to the advancement of science and the service of our nation.
