1. Religious Policy in Morocco (1980-2002): A Critical Review of Theses and Methodological Approaches
Salim Hmimnat (Mohammed V University, Rabat)
Abstract: This presentation offers a critical reading of theses addressing the management of the religious field in Morocco through the lens of public policy analysis. While Anglo-Saxon and Francophone literatures have extensively theorized social and economic policies, the symbolic and religious domain remains under-explored. The author notes that Moroccan research long neglected this field, often reducing it to the analysis of Islamist movements or the state's security apparatus. Based on field research, this study re-evaluates the role of the official religious institution (Ministry of Habous) and examines the added value of such research for Moroccan political science.

2. Emerging Research in the Social Sciences
Mounir Saidani (Tunis El Manar University)
Abstract: Since 2010, Tunisia has undergone profound social mutations that have transformed the epistemological landscape. New fields (anthropology, social movements) have emerged, and Tunisian researchers have integrated into international networks. The author examines the trajectories of young sociologists breaking away from rigid academic traditions through collective research, visual sociology, and the transition from community activism to scientific activity. The central question is whether these new practices are accompanied by a shift in analytical paradigms.

3. Research Quality at the University of Tripoli: Obstacles and Perspectives (Sociology Department Model)
Hussein Salem Mrigin & Salma Ibrahim Ben Omran (University of Tripoli, Libya)
Abstract: Given the exacerbation of social issues in Libya post-2011, there is an urgent need to mobilize social science research. This study diagnoses the current state of research within Tripoli’s sociology department and identifies levers for establishing a culture of academic quality capable of addressing societal challenges.

4. Ethnographic Research Experience in Saharan Societies
Meriem Lemam (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: This work traces an ethnographic journey through the Sahara (Oued Righ, Touat), addressing themes such as ancient settlements (Ksar), the semantics of family names, Ksourian mobility, and oral heritage. The author outlines the methodological challenges of Saharan fieldwork and advocates for the adoption of a "local gaze" in contemporary anthropological studies.

5. Research Experience in the Sociology of Sport
Mohamed Abbas Mahi (University of Oran 2)
Abstract: The sociology of sport remains marginal in the Maghreb, dependent on European references that are sometimes ill-suited to the local terrain. The author explores the transition of football from a simple game to a major social phenomenon. Through a comparative study of "spectators" and "supporters," he offers an analysis that moves beyond the cliché of hooliganism. He also addresses the difficulties faced by young researchers: lack of foundational training, language barriers, scarcity of local sources, and limited access to grants.

6. Field Approach to Religious Conversions in Algeria: Weak Experience and Field Pressures
Safia Madani Fouatih (University of Oran 2)
Abstract: This paper recounts a sensitive inquiry into conversion from Islam to Protestantism. The researcher is confronted with "objects" of study marked by taboos and social stigma. Utilizing Clifford Geertz's "thick description," the author analyzes how converts produce meaning. She highlights the psychological difficulty for a young researcher managing such a field without mentorship and calls for a renewal of concepts to grasp new, globalized religious identities.

7. Doctoral Experiences: Academic Trajectories and Institutional Constraints
Abbas Ferial & Djebbas Houda (University of Constantine 2)
Abstract: The authors analyze the trajectory of doctoral students in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) under the LMD (License-Master-Doctorate) system in Algeria. The choice of topics is often dictated by administrative or socio-cultural constraints rather than pure scientific autonomy. The research highlights the tension between the need for quality and the urgency of defending a thesis for professional advancement within a context of heavy teaching loads.

8. Scientific Travels of Algerian Students (Case of Zeddour Brahim Belkacem, 1946-1954)
Houria Djillali (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: This historical study follows the path of Zeddour Brahim Belkacem, a student in Tunis (Zitouna) and then Cairo. The author examines the living conditions of Algerian students abroad and their role in cultural and political diplomacy for the national cause. She emphasizes the importance—and the difficulty—of utilizing oral sources and private archives.

9. Interdisciplinary Research on Unemployment Among Engineers
Hind Bouakada (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: Within the framework of a thesis on representations of work, the author explores the "psychological lived experience" of unemployed engineers. Using life stories, the study shows how job loss leads to a loss of status, material dependence, and an erosion of personal identity (feelings of inferiority, pessimism).

10. Research Among Young Maghrebis: The Model of the Center for Maghrib Studies (CEMA/CEMAT)
Leila Kouaki (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: The author analyzes the contribution of methodology workshops organized in partnership with the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation. This training allows young researchers to link the study of violence to current social and political mutations. The goal is to see how this emerging research contributes to anthropology by questioning both the present and the historical roots of the Maghreb.

11. Evolution of Political Sociology in Algeria (2007-2017)
Yahia Benyamina (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: This paper proposes a bibliographic review of political sociology theses and dissertations at the University of Oran over a decade. The objective is to catalog dominant themes and methodological choices to understand if Algerian scientific discourse is in step with the global political and intellectual context, or if it merely follows institutional continuity.

12. Public Space in Mozabite Society: Descriptive Study of a Field Experience
Mohamed Bencheibi (University of Mostaganem)
Abstract: Following an immersion in Ghardaïa in 2008, the author analyzes the deep paradoxes of a region that hides complex religious and political stakes behind its commercial facade. This study interrogates the concept of "public space" (often perceived in Algeria as Nta’ el-Baylek, a state space for which no one is responsible) within the Mozabite context. By observing the Azzaba system (religious council) and the daily market, the author examines how this space, a UNESCO World Heritage site, maintains its coherence. The central question is how the "public" can transform into the "private" and how Mozabite identity resists modern trends.

13. Obesity and Alternative Medicine: An Anthropological Approach in Constantine
Amina Latrèche (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: Once a symbol of prosperity, obesity is now a global epidemic with heavy social consequences. This research explores the recourse of young people in Constantine to alternative medicines (herbal medicine, hijama, acupuncture) following the failure of conventional treatments. The author analyzes the socio-economic and cultural factors of this choice, as well as the prevailing influence of "word-of-mouth" and social networks in the circulation of therapeutic knowledge.

14. Female Religious Orientation in Tlemcen and the Formation of Female Authority Within Mosques
Fatma Zohra Djidid (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: This project studies the emergence of Mourchidates (female religious guides) in Tlemcen. After studying informal movements (notably Salafist), the author focuses here on female religious action within an institutional framework. The study questions the representations these women have of their profession, their discourse, their training paths, and, above all, the nature and source of their authority in a traditionally masculine space.

15. Philosophy as a Model for Emerging Research in Algeria
Souhila Sebia (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: Philosophical research in Algeria is caught between "institutional discourse" and "independent thought." The author analyzes the challenges young researchers face regarding quality and training requirements. She offers an interpretation of the Algerian experience, emphasizing the crucial role of scientific institutions in valuing philosophical thought against the hegemony of technical knowledge and immediate economic profitability.

16. Rap in Algeria: A Research Experience
Hafidha Aber (University of Oran 2)
Abstract: Emerging during the "Black Decade," Algerian rap has become the voice of a marginalized youth. The author analyzes the political values conveyed by this revolutionary musical genre. Despite initial academic reluctance, this research aims to enrich the sociology of culture by exploring how rap serves as a tool for protest and identity construction in the absence of official spaces for expression.

17. The Research Path in Religious Anthropology: Between Theory and Fieldwork
Yakhlef El Hadj (CNRPAH, Algeria)
Abstract: Drawing on Clifford Geertz’s symbolic approach, the author explores the persistence of Zaouïas (Sufi brotherhoods) in contemporary Algeria. Despite political and economic crises, these traditional institutions maintain their influence through secular codes such as Baraka (blessing). The study details fieldwork on the Qadiriyya and Aïssawa brotherhoods in Aïn Témouchent, illustrating the transition from anthropological theory to the complex reality of the local sacred.

18. Mutations of the Doctoral Thesis under the LMD Reform (Dimensions and Perspectives)
Fatma Zohra Toubal (University of Oran 1)
Abstract: The LMD (License-Master-Doctorate) reform introduced in 2004 profoundly altered research methodology in the humanities. The author analyzes the shift from traditional analysis to an approach centered on "scientific competencies" and interdisciplinarity (history, sociology, statistics). The study evaluates whether the reform’s goals of rigor and quality have been met and how they help break away from practices of academic complacency.

19. "Young" Research after 2000, from the Local to the Maghrebi Level: A State of Play
Najat Lahdiri (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: This paper assesses the evolution of research conducted by young scholars since the year 2000. It analyzes how themes have shifted from a strictly local scale to a Maghrebi and international dimension. The author uses a historical and survey-based approach to identify the actors (researchers and institutions) and the mutations in working methods over the last two decades.

20. Industrial Worker Behavior in the Face of Socio-Economic Changes
Nadia Semmache (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: Conducted within the national foundry company (ALFO-Oran), this study analyzes the determinants of human behavior at work. Moving away from the "Taylorist" vision of the man-machine, the research explores the influence of social values and culture on professional relationships. It highlights negative behaviors (indifference, absenteeism, egoism) as responses to technological pressure, lack of vertical communication, and the absence of recognition for skills.

21. Methodological Issues and the Operationalization of Intangible Heritage Collection: The Titteri Experience
Zahia Benabdallah (CNRPAH, Algeria)
Abstract: Collecting intangible heritage requires methodological rigor to avoid becoming lost in the mass of field data. This study recounts the experience in the wilaya of Médéa, conducted under the auspices of UNESCO and CNRPAH. Médéa (former capital of the Beylik of Titteri) possesses a historical richness (Roman, Andalusian, Ottoman) that still permeates local craftsmanship, cuisine (the art of Oula, preserves), and surnames. The author emphasizes the importance of local networks and an interdisciplinary approach to inventorying fragile knowledge, resulting in 22 inventory files meeting UNESCO standards.

23. The Reality of University Research in Clinical Psychology: A Path Strewn with Pitfalls
Intisar Sahraoui (University of Béjaïa, Algeria)
Abstract: This testimony traces six years of doctoral work on kidney transplantation in Algiers (Mustapha Pacha Hospital). The author exposes the concrete difficulties of the researcher: the language barrier (literature in French, writing in Arabic), geographical constraints (Béjaïa-Algiers commutes), and primarily the lack of an institutional framework (absence of a private office for clinical interviews). She analyzes how logistical precarity impacts the relationship with the patient and the quality of the data collected.

24. Methodology for Studying Movements with Religious References
Zoubir Arrous (University of Algiers 2, Algeria)
Abstract: The author questions the relevance of current theoretical frameworks for studying religion in Algeria. He advocates for a break with analyses that view these movements as "foreign bodies" to local history. The approach must integrate long-term history, the urban context, and political culture to understand how religious discourse is structured between simplified faith and moral values that regulate social behavior.

25. Social Sciences and the Challenges of Algerian Society
Mohamed Saïdi (University of Tlemcen, Algeria)
Abstract: The author raises the question of the social utility of research: what is the purpose of theses if they end up forgotten on a shelf after the defense? He analyzes the tension between "sociology with society" and the "researcher without society." The objective is to bridge the gap between the academic space and developmental needs, avoiding the traps of demagoguery and ideology to anchor research in Algerian reality.

As a translator, I have rendered this third installment of research abstracts into academic English. This section covers a fascinating breadth of topics, from the risks of studying contemporary Salafism and the institutionalization of Amazigh studies to the professionalization of doctoral training and the specific challenges faced by researchers in Mauritania.

Note: There appears to be a repetition in your source text for entry 33, which repeats the abstract for Mauritania (entry 32). I have translated the unique titles and the common abstract provided.

26. Researching the Sociology of Contemporary Salafism: Courage or Temerity?
Abdelhakim Aboullouz (Ibn Zohr University, Agadir, Morocco)
Abstract: Based on his study of Salafism in Morocco, the author describes a complex fieldwork environment where the researcher competes with intelligence service reports and journalistic discourse. He questions the researcher's independence when faced with such a sensitive and mediatized object of study. The challenge lies in transforming a risky "field adventure" into sector-specific academic knowledge (covering rites, socialization, and leadership) capable of informing public policy without lapsing into normative judgment.

27. The Green Fruit of a Local Social Science Practice: Mohamed Brahim Salhi (1952-2016)
Kamel Chachoua (IREMAM, France / CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: Mohamed Brahim Salhi represents a singular academic trajectory within his generation’s disciplinary choices. Unlike many leaders of the 1980 Berber movement (Tizi-Ouzou) who came from exact sciences or engineering backgrounds, Salhi was trained in the humanities and political science. After defending his thesis on the Rahmaniyya in Paris (1979), he remained a discreet teacher in an "invisible" architecture department until the 1990s. His work on local religiosity only gained prominence after joining CRASC. The author analyzes how the opening of the Amazigh language and culture department in 1989 "depoliticized" and "normalized" these disciplines, allowing Salhi to become an active witness to the rootedness of local social science practice in Algeria.

28. The HCA and the Functioning of Emerging Amazigh Research in Algeria (2000-2017)
Boudjema Aziri (HCA / University of Bouira / CRASC)
Abstract: To what extent and by what means has the High Commission for Amazighity (HCA) contributed to or hindered emerging research? As the head of research at the HCA since 2000, the author examines the institution's contribution to Algerian research regarding Amazigh language, culture, history, and society. He highlights the work of the late Brahim Salhi, who published a significant study on the Rahmaniyya with the HCA in 2008 and had planned a major project on religious phenomena across the Greater Maghreb.

29. Dreaming of Scientific Research: The GRAS Experience
Mohamed Mebtoul & Ouassila Salemi (GRAS, Oran, Algeria)
Abstract: Drawing on 25 years of research in social sciences and health, the authors frame their experience as a form of "necessary utopia" linked to the researcher's commitment. Despite administrative and financial constraints, they argue that the ethos (in the Weberian sense)—our posture toward research—is vital. Research is presented not as a routine job but as a "radical capturing" where passion and voluntarism are decisive in giving a "soul" and an identity to a scientific space.

30. Sociological Research in Algeria between Political Discourse and Social Reality
Mohamed Akli Faradji (University of Béjaïa, Algeria)
Abstract: The social science sector, and sociology in particular, has been hit hard by the fluctuations of the Algerian political system and its ideological discourse. This influence has deeply shaped research orientations from post-independence doctrines to current proposals. This communication analyzes the relationship between the political choices governing academic research and the actual sociological content developed within these institutions, examining how political discourse impacts the "language" of young sociologists.

31. Preparing Young Researchers: Reflections on an Experience
Mohamed Benguerna (CREAD, Algeria)
Abstract: Since 2014, the National Higher School of Management (ENSM) has conducted a doctoral training experience in collaboration with the French Institute of Research for Development (IRD). This paper presents the motivations, statistical data (on beneficiaries and programs), and pedagogical procedures of this methodological workshop. It highlights the challenges regarding student motivation, conceptual frameworks, fieldwork techniques, and the ethical posture of the researcher in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

32. Research in Humanities and Social Sciences in Mauritania: Institutional Difficulties and the Quest for Academic Standing
Ousmane Wagué (Al Asriya University of Nouakchott, Mauritania)
Abstract: For over three decades, a lack of institutional diversity and funding has hindered organized research-development-innovation in Mauritania. Despite this, university researchers in sociology, history, and anthropology have persisted. Since the creation of the University of Nouakchott in 1981, efforts have been made to promote HSS through research laboratories and Saharan studies centers. Between 2010 and 2015, over 400 publications were recorded. The adoption of the LMD system and the creation of 15 new research units offer hope for the future. This paper identifies historical difficulties, current themes, and the impact of regional and international cooperation.

33. The "Magistère" as a First Experience for an Emerging Anthropologist
Tayeb Rehaïl (Unité de Recherche TES – Constantine / CRASC)
Translator's Note: The abstract provided for this entry in the source text was a duplicate of entry 32. Based on the title, this paper typically focuses on the transition of Algerian students into the "Magistère" (the pre-LMD post-graduate degree) as their primary initiation into ethnographic fieldwork and anthropological theory.

34. Young Anthropology Researchers: The Case of Faculty at the University of Béjaïa
Farid Assiakh (University of Béjaïa, Algeria)
Abstract: This paper explores the professional world of young anthropologists serving as university lecturers while pursuing their doctorates. Paradoxically, none of these researchers were originally destined for an anthropology career; their undergraduate training was in sociology or Amazigh language and culture. Anthropology was removed from Algerian universities in the 1970s, viewed then as a "colonial science." Its reintegration in the 2000s faced a shortage of specialists, leading to the creation of a dedicated doctoral school. The author examines how their diverse academic backgrounds and professional environments influence their research themes and the obstacles they face in the field.

35. Emerging Researchers in Tunisia: Between Confusion and Mastery
Donia Remili (FSHST Tunis, Tunisia / Inetop-Cnam Paris, France)
Abstract: Drawing on her experience as a young Tunisian psychologist, the author outlines the theoretical, methodological, and institutional constraints of scientific research. She describes the doctoral journey as an "adventure" where the student often feels cast into the wild, tasked with constructing a new vision of the future. The paper analyzes the pitfalls that hinder a doctoral candidate's progress and the delicate balance between failure and success in the quest for academic mastery.

36. Research Experience in Migration: From Irregularity to the "Osmosis" Theory
Samir Djelti (University of Mascara, CRASC)
Abstract: After investigating the link between poverty and irregular migration, the author's doctoral work confirmed the lack of a "migration-development" effect in Algeria. Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective, he proposes a new unifying theory: "Osmosis: The Unifying Theory of Human Migration." Using a biophysical analogy, he explains human mobility as a matter of "pressure." The theory divides migration history into two eras: "Simple Migration" (from the first out-of-Africa movements to the Great Transformation) and "Complicated Migration" (driven by modern variables like policy, wages, and networks).

37. Investigating "Abnormality": The Case of Slums
Jaouad Agudal (Mohammedia-Casablanca University, Morocco)
Abstract: Public discourse often categorizes slums as social "abnormalities" or urban pathologies. This normative labeling reinforces a sense of exclusion among residents. The author reflects on the ethnographic "discomfort" of entering these spaces as an outsider. He questions the possibility of emotional detachment (following Norbert Elias) when faced with the suffering of "vulnerable actors" and the ethical dilemma of responding to requests for help. The paper offers a reflexivity exercise on fieldwork conducted in the margins of Meknes.

38. Investigating a Sufi Religious Order: Reflections from the Anti-Atlas
Mohamed Es-Salih (Doctoral Student, CM2S Casablanca, Morocco)
Abstract: This ethnographic study explores a Zaouïa in southern Morocco through a Weberian and Foucauldian lens, focusing on the exercise of power and knowledge. Using participant observation, the author analyzes the interactions between the master and disciples. He advocates for a reflexive approach to "knowledge production," moving beyond post-modern textual criticism to focus on active social production, the "unsaid," and the ritual vocabulary of daily religious life.

39. The Hammam in a Mountainous Zone: Discovering a New World in Bouzguene
Naoual Dahmani (University of Tizi Ouzou, Algeria)
Abstract: Since the 2000s, the rural region of Bouzguene has seen a rise in hammams, signaling a shift in lifestyle and female sociability. For Kabyle women, the hammam has become a modern surrogate for the traditional "tala" (village fountain)—a space for singing, debating, and exchanging news. The author explores how the body is being redefined as an "object to be shaped" (per David Le Breton), blending traditional care with modern cosmetic practices within this semi-urban institution.

40. The Laborious Path to a Doctoral Thesis: The Case of Oran University
Cherifa Bridja (University of Oran 2, Algeria)
Abstract: While Algeria offers a wealth of sociological subjects due to its rapid mutations and cultural diversity, completing a thesis remains a daunting task. The author highlights the "trials" faced by doctoral students: administrative hurdles, documentary scarcity, and the physical toll of fieldwork. She notes that despite the openness of the research field, it lacks institutional support, requiring immense tenacity for a student to realize the dream of becoming a "Doctor."

41. Maghrebi Women’s Migration to the Gulf States
Nassera Guezzan Azizi (IRIS, EHESS, Paris, France)
Abstract: This research addresses a gap in migration literature, which traditionally focuses on Maghrebi movement toward Europe. Focusing on women migrating alone to the Gulf under the Kafala (sponsorship) system, the author analyzes themes of empowerment, submission, and negotiation within patriarchal frameworks. Based on life stories collected in the Emirates, Morocco, and Algeria, the study examines the "power to act" and the complexities of return migration.

42. Discovering Social Geography
Robert Hérin & Hayette Nemouchi (University of Caen, France / CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: Once classified as a natural science, geography is now firmly rooted in the social sciences. This paper explores "Social Geography," a branch focusing on the dialectic between the spatial and the social. Using land studies as an example, the authors argue that "land" is not a natural given but a social product. They examine how this discipline fosters interdisciplinary dialogue and analyzes space through individual lived experiences

43. The Ibn Battuta Syndrome: Mobility for the Resource-Poor Young Maghrebi Researcher
Sofiane Bouhdiba (University of Tunis, Tunisia)
Abstract: This paper addresses a challenge facing thousands of students and young researchers in the Maghreb: the "academic mobility of the penniless," which the author terms the "Ibn Battuta Syndrome." While international travel and global academic exchange are vital for scientific growth, they remain out of reach for those whose salaries or grants barely cover family needs. The author questions whether digital technologies are a true substitute for physical mobility and if Northern researchers hold an unfair advantage. The reflection is structured in three parts: the specific importance of mobility for Maghrebi social science researchers, the primary obstacles to this movement, and recommendations for facilitating South-North and South-South inter-university exchanges in the coming years.

44. History Dissertations in Tunisia Since 2011: A Revolution
Nessim Znaien (Aix-Marseille University, France)
Abstract: This communication evaluates the extent to which the Arab Spring triggered a revolution in the historiography of young researchers working on Tunisian history. Focusing specifically on doctoral dissertations (excluding Masters theses and articles), the author examines whether the volume of research has increased since 2011 and identifies the historical periods or genres most affected by this change. By comparing the work of Tunisian students with that of American and European peers, the study establishes a genealogy of new research topics. Furthermore, it explores—through semi-structured interviews—the sociology of these new doctoral candidates (origins, gender, and training) and whether they view their academic work as a form of militant activity or as a pursuit independent of the revolutionary prism.

45. Singular Trajectories and the Genesis of a Collective Project: Adolescents in Reintegration and Their Future
Khedidja Mokeddem (CRASC, Algeria)
Abstract: This contribution retraces the history and collaborative dynamics of a research group focused on the theme: "The future of adolescents following placement in social reintegration centers." The author details the motivations behind this choice of study, the group’s shared working philosophy, and the methodology used to construct knowledge across various field sites. Beyond the data, this paper serves as a narrative of the fieldwork itself, shedding light on the researchers' efforts, the difficulties encountered, and the role of subjectivity in documenting the trajectories of youth in transition.
Overview of the Final Set
This concluding group of abstracts highlights the systemic and socio-political dimensions of research:
Economic Barriers: The "Ibn Battuta Syndrome" highlights the material reality of being a scholar in the Global South.
Political Shifts: The Tunisian case demonstrates how political revolutions directly reshape academic inquiry and historiography.
Collective Reflexivity: The Algerian study on youth reintegration showcases how research is often a "shared adventure" that requires balancing scientific rigor with personal subjectivity.

To ensure the academic tone remains professional and sophisticated, I have translated your text into English below. I've opted for terminology that aligns with international social science standards (using "Maghreb" as is common in academic circles and "early-career researchers" for jeunes chercheurs).
English Translation

This international symposium primarily seeks to objectify the research practices deployed by early-career researchers in the Maghreb. It encompasses all dimensions of the process, from the meanings attributed to fieldwork and the various paradigms utilized, to the setbacks that may arise during a given project. The symposium will also attempt to identify transformations in the positioning of young researchers, their chosen themes, and their research methodologies, comparing these to previous work conducted during the 1980s and 1990s. These shifts appear inseparable from the new constraints encountered by young researchers in their respective studies—constraints that are essential to highlight. Furthermore, putting these diverse research experiences into perspective is necessary, as they have undeniably emerged within political, social, and intellectual contexts specific to each Maghreb country. Here, the societal and political influences that inevitably shape the theoretical and methodological directions of burgeoning research in our respective countries merit serious consideration.

Additionally, the symposium will emphasize the multiplicity of institutional actors involved in the research movement led by early-career scholars, whether by facilitating or hindering its feasibility, promotion, and dissemination within society. Indeed, research should be the antithesis of solitude and isolation; it is necessarily at the heart of the multiple social interactions produced between different categories of social actors working in research institutions, Algerian and foreign universities, libraries, etc. It is vital to provide a nuanced description of these interactions to better understand the meaning our various Maghreb institutions attribute to research conducted by the youth.

Finally, it is difficult to overlook research training, which is continually being constructed or deconstructed within our various research spaces in the Maghreb. The goal is to provide a concrete demonstration of how this training is conducted, emphasizing its importance in supporting young researchers and identifying the institutional, administrative, or pedagogical constraints that appear to hinder the institutionalization and generalization necessary to give greater meaning to youth-led research in Maghreb societies.

The symposium will necessarily operate within a dual temporality: first, the present, allowing for an assessment of the current state of youth research in the Maghreb across its institutional, scientific, and administrative dimensions. Second, the future, by highlighting new research perspectives that could unite Maghreb research teams around themes shared by young scholars in the region. Indeed, it is crucial to project ourselves resolutely toward a future where the Maghreb becomes a familiar and integrated research space for the young scholars of our respective societies.
The six (06) primary themes (non-exhaustive list) for this international symposium are as follows:

Current state of youth-led research in the humanities and social sciences in the Maghreb.

Research experiences as described by early-career researchers.

The significance of transformations in Maghreb youth research during the 2000s.

Interactions between young researchers and institutional actors (cooperation, conflict, forms of support or distancing, etc.).

Challenges and stakes of research training in the Maghreb.

Common research perspectives and collaborative outlooks for early-career researchers across the Maghreb.
