Higher Education Ministry updates financial allowances for international training

Algeria has overhauled its financial allowance system for academic training and scientific missions abroad, marking the first update in over 22 years. The joint decree, effective from October 29, establishes a new payment structure based on two geographic zones. Daily rates are set at 12,000 DZD for Zone 1 and 10,000 DZD for Zone 2, with monthly caps of 200,000 DZD and 160,000 DZD respectively. The regulation also introduces bonuses of 20% for researchers and professors, and 40% for those presenting at international conferences. The list of countries under Zone 1 has been expanded to 37, while the United Arab Emirates has been removed from the registry. These financial improvements apply immediately, covering even those currently abroad, and guarantee that universities or research centers will cover registration fees if no international funding is provided.
