Abstract: Introduction. Science diplomacy is gaining increasing significance in expanding international science and technology cooperation. Algeria serves as an example of this trend, drawing the attention of numerous influential players in the international community. Establishing relations with them requires Algerian diplomacy to be flexible and capable of aligning its diverse interests. The research aims to identify the main actors in Algerian science diplomacy, determine the optimal forms of cooperation between Russia and Algeria, and outline the prospects for future cooperation. Methods. Through observation, comparison, and description methods, the authors have outlined the evolution of science diplomacy and provided examples of the most successful projects involving Algeria. Results and Discussion. The authors have developed a model from their research that clearly illustrates the key actors in Algeria's science diplomacy and their interactions on both national and international stages. The analysis of publication activity has revealed areas of cooperation between Russia and Algeria. Conclusion. To effectively address modern challenges such as climate change, water shortage, local military conflicts, and emerging diseases, it is crucial to foster productive partnerships among scientists, politicians, and diplomats. When examining Algeria's international scientific collaborations with other nations, it becomes clear that the country prioritizes its partnership with China. Algeria has numerous joint initiatives with the European Union, a longstanding relationship with France, and has established ties with the United States through the Algerian diaspora. Russia and Algeria share a mutual interest in collaborative research and development in fields such as mechanical engineering, computer technology, physics, and astronomy. Higher education cooperation between Russia and Algeria can facilitate the training of research and academic personnel, the establishment of professional networks, and the advancement of research programs and projects.
