This vision is particularly embodied through the creation of an innovative and dynamic system based on digital technologies. The main objective is to make higher education and scientific research a key driver of development and progress.
In order to plan the digital future of higher education and scientific research institutions, a “Master Plan for Digitalization” was established based on the strategic vision of the sector.

It also seeks to activate and locally supervise projects related to information and communication technology within the university.
