In 1971 the Union of Algerian Engineers (UIA) was created in Algiers. It brought together engineers of all specialties on a voluntary basis. In 1985, engineers, architects, physicists, and chemists organized themselves into the National Union of Algerian Scientists and Technologists (UNSTA).
UNSTA meets in congress every five years to elect a national council and an executive secretariat as well as a secretary general for the duration of the five-year term. At the local level, UNSTA has sections in all 48 departments. UNSTA's role is to participate in the promotion of science and technology in Algeria through the organization of conferences, seminars and symposia in different fields. UNSTA is also a framework for reflection and proposals for improving the training and working conditions of scientists and technologists.
At the international level, UNSTA is a member of WFEO and FIA. UNSTA is also developing bilateral relations with similar organizations. |
