INTERNATIONAL HIGHER ACADEMIC COUNCIL

The International Higher Academic Council: A Restructured Hub for Excellence

A Legacy of Academic Recognition:

The International Higher Academic Council (IHAC) stands as a testament to excellence in scientific research and education. Officially registered with the Russian Ministry of Justice in 2015, it inherits the legacy and accreditation of the earlier council established in 2007. This continuity underscores IHAC’s commitment to fostering international collaboration and advancing scientific knowledge.

A Unique Multifaceted Institution:

IHAC’s unique structure, characterized by its partnership with the International University of Fundamental Studies (IUFS), sets it apart. This collaboration fosters a dynamic research environment where theoretical and practical issues of international significance are tackled head-on. Led by a distinguished panel of scientists with global repute, IHAC is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of high-caliber scientific and managerial personnel.

Climbing the Ladder of Academic Achievements:

IHAC facilitates the path to international academic recognition through its rigorous thesis defense process for degrees ranging from Bachelor to Grand-Doctor. Each level demands distinct levels of expertise and contribution. A Bachelor’s degree signifies research aptitude, while a Master’s demonstrates independent research capability. Doctors are expected to present solutions to significant scientific problems, and Grand-Doctors propose and justify novel research directions with far-reaching theoretical and practical implications.

Unwavering Commitment to Scientific Rigor:

IHAC’s evaluation criteria rest on unwavering principles of scientific integrity. Real-world evidence, verifiable conclusions aligned with established facts, and the novelty and practical significance of research material are paramount. Rigorous evaluation by specialized councils ensures that only the most deserving candidates attain academic distinction.

Defending Your Work: From Standard Process to Exceptional Cases:

Candidates defend their specially written work before the IHAC, adhering to established regulations. In exceptional cases, such as for individuals of outstanding scientific authority or those facing extenuating circumstances, alternative defense pathways exist. Notably, the Grand Doctor and Doctor of Philosophy degrees can be awarded based on a recognized body of published works.

A Network of Expertise: Supporting and Reviewing Research:

The United Scientific Council plays a crucial role in thesis evaluation. Comprised of expert councils with members drawn from both IHAC and external institutions, it ensures a comprehensive and diverse review process. Each thesis is accompanied by reviews from the candidate’s scientific supervisor and consultant, further bolstering the rigor of the evaluation.

Recognition that Transcends Borders:

IHAC-awarded degrees and titles hold international weight, recognized in over 150 countries worldwide. This recognition is a testament to the Council’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of academic excellence. Additionally, IHAC recognizes and honors prominent individuals who have made significant contributions to science, culture, and global peace by awarding prestigious International Scientific degrees of Doctor and Grand Doctor of Philosophy.

Beyond Degrees: Fostering Collaboration and Dissemination:

IHAC’s activities extend beyond awarding degrees. The International Higher Attestation Commission (IHACM) operates within IHAC, facilitating thesis defense and issuing international certificates. Furthermore, IHAC members actively engage in individual and collective scientific research, producing valuable publications in various languages through collaborations with international scientists. The Council also organizes and hosts international events, fostering knowledge exchange and global research partnerships.

Reaching Across the Globe: A Network of Excellence:

Recognizing the importance of global reach, IHAC may establish regional offices (Small Academic Councils) in different countries. This commitment to international collaboration further strengthens its position as a leading hub for scientific excellence.

Guiding Principles and Governance:

IHAC’s governance structure emphasizes transparency and inclusivity. Its leadership will be determined based on recommendations from diverse international entities, ensuring broad representation and expertise. The awarding of degrees, titles, and the prestigious International Passport of a Scientist follows the established IHAC Nomenclature and is solely handled by the General Council.

In conclusion, the International Higher Academic Council stands as a beacon of academic excellence and international collaboration. Its dedication to rigorous evaluation, fostering research, and recognizing outstanding contributions positions it as a vital force in the global scientific landscape.
