Candidates of Sciences may cancel, but will not
Now in the scientific world is undergoing reform. The change is subject to HAC, dissertation councils and the most important degree of science. It is discussed that in the near future, Russia will move to the European system of assigning scientific titles. And this will lead to the closure of candidate dissertation councils and to the abolition of the degree of candidate of science .
In 2003, Russia joined the Bologna process, which unifies the standards of education and scientific activities. Within the framework of this process, the ladder of scientific titles in Russian science should become the same as in Europe: bachelor, master and doctor. The title of bachelor and master will be assigned to the university, and the title of doctor - dissertation councils. “There is no candidate council in the new draft regulation on dissertation councils.” - Elena Nechaeva, Director of the Department of Scientific and Teaching Personnel of the Ministry of Education and Science, reported.

According to the new system of degrees there are:
Bachelor - university degree (Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Education).
Master - holder of a university degree (Master of Arts, Master of Science) - "Master of Philosophy" (M. Phil). In other words, this is the proto-doctoral degree, which characterizes its owner as a candidate for doctor.
Doctor of Science - holder of the degree of Doctor of Science (European Ph.D.)
The reform process involves several fundamental changes:
1. The right to master programs should be endowed with only selected universities (not lower than research status).
2. Radically it is necessary to reduce the number of dissertation councils, significantly strengthen the composition of the expert councils of the Higher Attestation Commission.
3. Master theses should be independently certified, and not just be finally approved in the “native” university.
4. Postgraduate studies should be changed under the format of Ph.D. departments (departments of doctoral students) with a completely different curriculum, where each course is a discussion of world scientific achievements over the last 3-4 years. Such a program should take two years. Doctors of science must be supervisors of PhD students, especially those with a Ph.D. And three years should be allocated for the actual preparation of the thesis.
The conclusion from the above: the reform of the system of academic degrees requires preliminary profound changes in the entire university system of Russia and no less profound changes in the activities of Rosobrnadzor and VAK.
Good luck to all!

news "On the degree of the candidate of science"
Recently, in some mass media, there have been reports of the plans of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation to abolish the degree of candidate of science in the state system of certification of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers. Apparently, this conclusion was made on the basis of a number of statements made during the discussion at the Round Table held in the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia on November 17, 2011, the draft provision on the Council on thesis protection for the degree of doctors of science.
In this regard, the Department of Scientific and Scientific-Pedagogical Personnel of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation states that this conclusion is not true .
Currently, the Russian Federation Government Decree No. 74 of January 30, 2002 approved the Unified Register of Scientific Degrees and Academic Titles, which established the following scientific degrees for scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel of the highest qualification:
- Doctor of Science degree in the field of science according to the nomenclature of scientific specialties;
- academic degree of the candidate of science in the field of science according to the nomenclature of specialties of scientific workers.
It is not planned to make changes to the specified Unified Register regarding the abolition of the scientific degree of the candidate of sciences .
