CISTEM 2026 - Constantine

Welcome to CISTEM 2026

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 6th edition of the International Conference on Electrical Sciences and Technologies in the Maghreb (CISTEM 2026), to be held from October 26 to 29, 2026, at the prestigious Frères Mentouri University Constantine 1, Algeria.

Building on the remarkable success of its previous editions in Tunis, Marrakech, and Algiers, CISTEM has firmly established itself as a biennial flagship event for electrical engineering specialists across the Maghreb. Organized by the Faculty of Science and Technology at Constantine 1 University – Frères Mentouri, in close collaboration with a consortium of leading research laboratories and centers, and under the auspices of the Algerian Association of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (AAGEE), the conference provides a premier platform for scientific and technological exchange at both regional and international levels.

The 2026 edition aims to strengthen inter-Maghreb cooperation while broadening research networks toward Europe and beyond. A particular focus will be placed on addressing the pressing socio-economic challenges of the energy and technological transitions—critical issues for the future of the region.

Inspired by the spirit of leading international conferences, CISTEM 2026 will highlight transformative technologies shaping tomorrow’s world—from sustainable energy systems to cutting-edge innovations in electronics, automation, and industrial computing. Our goal is to create a dynamic and stimulating environment that promotes constructive dialogue, collaborative research, and knowledge sharing among scholars, engineers, and industry professionals.

We look forward to welcoming you to Constantine for what promises to be an inspiring and impactful event.

Known as the "City of Suspended Bridges", Constantine offers an exceptional and inspiring backdrop for the conference. Its dramatic cliffs, breathtaking vistas, and iconic landmarks — including the Sidi M’Cid Bridge and Mellah Slimane Bridge — are complemented by a deep cultural and historical richness. Notable sites such as the Ahmed Bey Palace and the Emir Abdelkader Mosque reflect the city's enduring legacy and make it a fascinating destination beyond the academic sessions.

The month of October provides an especially pleasant climate in Constantine, with mild temperatures and abundant sunshine — ideal conditions for discovering the city's natural charm and architectural treasures.

Additional information regarding the specific venue within the university, as well as recommended accommodation options in Constantine, will be shared in due course.
