Abstract
The role of higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing the innovative capacity of societies is well recognised. That role is accomplished through the creation and dissemination of knowledge, the success of which is dependent on the types and extent of interactions that can exist between HEIs and industry. Yet this topic remains insufficiently explored in African countries. This paper investigates the extent of the role of Algerian HEIs in cooperating with industry. The main enablers and inhibitors of such activity are also examined.
Highlights
This paper investigates the extent of interactions that Algerian higher education institutions (HEIs) are establishing with industry and the factors that promote and/or impede the development of these links
We summarise the results from our survey, and provide an analysis of the practices of the HEI–industry relationship in Algeria
Of the 600 who replied to the question of whether their institution had had formal collaboration with industry during the last 5 years, more than two-thirds (68%) replied in the affirmative
Summary
The purpose of this paper is to use Algeria as a representative case for many African countries that suffer from an apparent split between HEIs and their external environment
