INTEGRATION OF UKRAINE AND THE CIS COUNTRIES INTO THE EUROPEAN SCIENTIFIC SPACE: EXPERIENCE OF PARTICIPATION IN EU FRAMEWORK PROGRAMS

Abstract. The article discusses the results of a study on the participation of research organizations, universities, small and medium-sized enterprises in Ukraine and the CIS countries in the framework programs of the EU to integrate into the European scientific space. Based on the research and development information system (CORDIS), data were collected, processed and analyzed on the participation of scientists, specialists and business representatives of Ukraine and the CIS countries in EU international projects. A comparative analysis of the participation of the CIS countries in the framework of programs has been made. Particular attention is paid to the participation of Ukraine in the program “Horizon 2020”. Examples of participation of Ukrainian organizations in it are given. In the course of the research, it was revealed that almost a third of the projects that Ukrainian participants are performing involved several organizations from Ukraine. Compared to previous programs, the peculiarity of the Horizon 2020 program in comparison with previous programs is the active participation of business, public organizations and associations, as well as other non-governmental institutions. These organizations make up 45% of the total number of Ukrainian organizations that received grants in the “Horizon 2020”. The study showed that Ukraine is also one of the active participants in the international projects of the Horizon 2020 program as a participant. Participation in the program allows you to attract high-tech industries of Ukraine for projects and receive orders for the creation of innovative products.

Keywords: integration, European scientific space, EU framework programs, Horizon 2020, CORDIS, international scientific and technological cooperation, priority areas.
