What DGRSDT المديرية العامة للبحث العلمي والتطوير التكنولوجي does

The Direction Générale de la Recherche Scientifique et du Développement Technologique (DGRSDT) is the Algerian government directorate, established under Law No. 98-11 of August 22, 1998, and operating under the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MESRS), responsible for implementing the country's national policy on scientific research and technological development. Its mandate was modernized by the orientation law of December 30, 2015. The directorate coordinates a national research ecosystem comprising 1,924 research laboratories, 32 research centers, 49 research units, 171 common services, and 41 experimental stations, and supports 2,286 permanent researchers and 74,305 teacher-researchers.

DGRSDT operates a portfolio of six interconnected digital platforms that together constitute the operational backbone of Algeria's research management infrastructure: PNR (Programmes Nationaux de Recherche) for national research program project submission and tracking; DALILAB for the electronic directory of research laboratories; ASJP for the Algerian Scientific Journal Platform; the Dalile Infrastructure platform for research centers, units, and experimental stations; HSR Potentiel for human scientific potential statistics; Ibtikar for research-activity monitoring; and DAFR-ST for financial administration. Adjacent services include scientific journal classification into Categories A and B (with a published list of predatory journals), intellectual property registration and the Patent Statistics Compendium, and research-product valorisation. The directorate is the national funding agency for the Mediterranean PRIMA program (Section 2) and partners with WIPO on IP-culture training in universities.

DGRSDT is wholly funded by the Algerian state budget and does not charge users for any service; all programs and platforms are provided at no cost to Algerian researchers and institutions. Its wholly owned operating subsidiaries include CDTA (advanced technologies), SATICOM (ICT), CSC-Expertise (welding and industrial control), CRAPC (physico-chemical analysis), and CDER (renewable energy). In July 2026, CRAPC Expertise — a subsidiary of CRAPC — became the first research subsidiary of a national research center to list on the Algiers Stock Exchange, signaling the beginning of capital-market access for the ecosystem's commercial arms.
