(1) The scientific rank of the candidate of the sciences is awarded on the basis of the defence of the candidate dissertation (hereinafter referred to as the "candidate dissertation") before the relevant commission.

(2) The condition for authorising the defence of the candidate dissertation is the successful conduct of the candidate examinations under this decree or under the decree of the President of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and of the Minister of Education and Culture on the education of new scientists of 11 November 1964, unless the candidate has been exempted from the candidate examinations.

(3) Intermediate workers who fulfil the conditions laid down in Article 5 (3) of the Law on the award of scientific degrees and on the State Commission for Scientific Aspects (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") and this Decree may be awarded the rank of candidate of sciences without carrying out examinations if, in a public scientific debate before the Panel, they justify the social importance of their scientific work.

(4) The scientific rank of Doctor of Sciences is awarded on the basis of the defence of doctoral dissertation ("doctoral dissertation ') before a commission.

(5) The condition for authorising the defence of doctoral dissertation is that the candidate should have the rank of candidate of the sciences or be a member of the Academy of Sciences, a university professor (hereinafter referred to as Professor) or a senior scientist. If these conditions are not met, it shall decide on the authorisation of the defence of the State Commission. The doctoral dissertation may also be defended by those candidates for the rank of candidate of sciences whose dissertation, according to the opinions of all opponents, has a degree of doctoral dissertation (§ 23). The defence of doctoral dissertation may also be authorised by the competent authority (Paragraph 18 (3)) by the docent.

(6) The condition for the award of a scientific rank to a foreign national is that his scientific creative activities and professional practices guarantee further work for the advancement of science and the benefit of society.
