"Authoritative" programs

General characteristics
The Authority programs are primarily related to the specific procedure of acquiring the membership in the Academy. But under the similar principles, they can be implemented as a special “honorary” form of the doctoral and professorial programs.
The so-called “Authority” programs of the Academy are aimed at recognition of significant achievements of the corresponding persons in the field of science and public work. This recognition assumes that such persons are granted the academic status title of the second title category.
The authority programs do not have any educational load and do not assume any actual certification of knowledge or skills of applicants.
In the framework of these programs recognition of the academic competence of the applicant is based on projection of his or her achievements in these spheres on determination of correspondence of his or her qualification to the certification requirements of the Academy.
The Academic Authority program is based on recognition and assumption of the high quality of the large-scale and widely known scientific, educational, social and administrative activities of a certain person in the field of science, education or promotion of the global intellectual progress.
The main peculiarities of the program are the following:
- The applicant is: a) the holder of the academic (granted by the University) or a scientific and analytical doctoral degree, b) the author of at least 50 scientific publications; c) full member of the authoritative scientific community. The applicant’s public and administrative work is taken into account when analyzing the professional qualities and achievements of this person.
- Academic qualification acquired after successful completion of the program is the Full member of the Academy, or the Academician of the second title category Stratum-Academician with the suffix “authority”.
- The list of original publications by the applicant, verified by the authoritative scientific community or the educational institution, in which this person works as the educator (in English).
- The recommendation letter given by the authoritative scientific community in English is obligatory.
Humanitarian authority program is based on recognition of high social significance of an authoritative public or political figure, who significantly affects the positive development of social processes and the solution of the pressing modern problems.
The program is characterized by the following main specific features:
- The applicant is the authoritative public or political figure.
- The academic qualification acquired after the successful completion of the program is the Full member of the Academy or the Academician of the second title category Stratum-Academician with the suffix “humane”;
- The recommendation letter given by the authoritative humanitarian community or by the Academy in English is obligatory.
The degree of correspondence of the applicant’s qualification to the certification requirements and also the degree of his or her prominence in the scientific and educational environment are determined by the decision of the Senate of the Academy upon recommendation of the Chief Scientific Secretary of the Academy.
The applicant, who has managed to complete this program, doesn’t have to confirm the status title every year.
