The EU-Algeria relationship emphasises close cooperation on democratic reform, economic modernisation, and migration issues.
The Euro-Mediterranean Barcelona process provided the political framework for Algeria-EU partnership. Within this framework, the EU strengthened research and innovation cooperation with Algeria and a science and technology agreement was signed in 2012.
The agreement promotes the opening of European Research Area and European research programmes to Algerian participation. Implementing the agreement remains a main priority of the bilateral cooperation.
