States are formulated by the President of the Russian Federation V.V.

One of the forms of interstate cooperation of documents, systematization, comparison, etc. among the CIS countries is scientific cooperation - the The official Internet resources of the Ministry of Science and institutional efforts pooling of scientists from different countries Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Higher certification in order to increase the performance of scientific activity, to commission and a number of other structures were used as the increase the contribution of science to the economic information base for the study. development of countries, to increase their own scientific authority and potential (Khoperskaya, 2016). The relevance of training of highly qualified personnel proved in numerous sources (Sølvberg and Rismark, 2016; Halawa et al., The Russian Federation’s strategic documents are also 2017).

For example, the Strategy of are not limited to higher education and research organizations Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian (Valla, 2014; Leirós-Rodríguez et al., 2018). In addition, as part Federation (2016) defines as one of the main tasks of the of training, the additional competences are developed in the field scientific and technological development of the country “the of management, innovation and project activities (Kaspersma et formation of a model of international scientific and technical al., 2012). cooperation and international integration in the field of research and technological development, allowing to protect the identity The starting point for the formation of national systems of of the Russian scientific sphere and state interests in the training and certification of highly qualified scientific personnel conditions of internationalization of science and improve the in the CIS countries was the successful experience of the Higher effectiveness of Russian science through mutually beneficial Attestation Commission of the USSR, that ensured high prestige international interaction". of Soviet science in the world.
