Faculty members successfully published research in high-ranking peer-reviewed journals, and 14 national partnership agreements were signed, alongside the renewal of international agreements with Italian and British universities, with two Canadian universities in the pipeline. Student life flourished with around 30 scientific and cultural events, 6 gold medals and approximately 30 silver and bronze medals in sports, and the establishment of a student amateur theatre troupe. The Rector also noted the university’s improved ranking in the Webometrics global index and steady progress toward ISO certification.

The ceremony saw the announcement of the Institutional Excellence Awards: Mr. Bilal Bouchkara received the Best Staff Member award, Dr. Sofiane Laradi was named Best Researcher, and the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences was honoured as Best Faculty.

The President of the Entrepreneurs and Industrialists Club (CEI), Mr. Rachid Bouhamad, reaffirmed the Club’s commitment to employing the top eight graduates and announced plans to integrate the top ten students from each discipline into the workforce.

The ceremony also included the signing of two cooperation agreements — with the External Rehabilitation Service for Prisoners of Blida and the Directorate of Tourism and Traditional Industries — alongside a historical lecture by Professor Sidi Moussa Mohamed Cherif, and a theatrical performance entitled « 1275 » by the university’s theatre troupe.
