Higher Attestation Commission ((ロシア語:Высшая аттестационная комиссия), (ウクライナ語:Вища атестаційна комісія), abbreviated Cyrillic: ВАК, Latin: VAK) is a name of a national government agency in Russia, Ukraine and some other post-Soviet states that oversees awarding of advanced academic degrees. Due to translation differences, these committees are sometimes translated as the "State Supreme Certification Commission" or other similar variation; the common Cyrillic-based acronym of VAK remains a constant with all versions. A commission of a similar kind ((ブルガリア語:Висша атестационна комисия)) operated in Bulgaria until 2010, when it was abolished as part of a reorganisation of academic structures.〔(Закон за развитието на академичния състав в Република България )〕 On December 9, 2010, the Higher Education Commission of Ukraine was merged into the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.〔(Указ Президента України № 1085 від 9 грудня 2010 року «Про оптимізацію системи центральних органів виконавчої влади» )〕 ==Russia and the former Soviet Union== During the Soviet Union, the Higher Attestation Commission under the USSR Council of Ministers (also abbreviated as VAK) oversaw and controlled the awarding of advanced academic degrees and academic ranks in all of the USSR. With the fall and break up of the Soviet Union, separate Higher Attestation Commissions arose in the newly independent nations. For example, the Russian agency became the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, taking similar duties in the Russian Federation. The responsibilities of the Russian Commission include: * coordinating Dissertation Councils in Russian universities and research institutes; * promulgating regulations concerning awarding of academic degrees; * awarding the degrees of Candidate of Sciences and Doctor of Sciences, upon the recommendation of the Dissertation Council in the university or research institute where the defense of the dissertation took place; * awarding the academic rank of Professor; * making decisions on equivalence of foreign degrees awarded to Russian citizens. The Higher Attestation Commissions in other nations have similar responsibilities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Higher Attestation Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
