The SYStem project aims to create a learning platform for soil description and WRB classification using social media. The key output of the project is a mobile application that allows users to upload photos of soil profiles, record horizon descriptions and properties with coordinates, and classify soils according to the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) system.
In addition to enhancing education, the application enables the global collection of soil data and facilitates the evaluation of WRB classification usage for describing and naming reference soil groups under various environmental conditions.
Along with the app, a guide will be published on using the tool and social media in education, as well as a comprehensive WRB soil classification compendium.

The Algerian government has set a priority to implement a quality assessment system in higher education institutions. This project aims to support the development of an internal quality assessment system for three Algerian universities, aligning with European and international standards.
The project’s objectives include enhancing the competencies of academic staff and graduates, promoting education and research, planning and managing internal academic activities, and improving compliance with accreditation criteria.
These outcomes will be achieved through guiding and training Algerian experts in collaboration with European partner organizations.
