Resume

The article examines European practices of innovative cooperation aimed at consistent and purposeful integration of European economies through the creation of a common scientific, technical, and innovative space. The authors find that the Framework Programmes play a coordinating role in the implementation of the European Union’s innovation policy. The article reveals that the second Horizon Europe Strategic Plan will be implemented from 20 March 2024, setting out three key strategic areas for European Union funding of research and innovation for 2025-2027: green transition; digital transition; a more sustainable, competitive, inclusive, and democratic Europe. Meanwhile, the European Strategy on Research and Technology Infrastructure, implemented by the European Commission on 15 September 2025, is a tool for Europe’s breakthrough in scientific excellence and technological innovation, particularly in the following areas: strengthening the European research and technological infrastructure ecosystem; ensuring easier and better access to research and technological infrastructure; attracting and developing talented personnel; improving and simplifying the management system for research and technological infrastructures; strengthening the international dimension and sustainability of research and technological infrastructures. A trend of gradual integration of Ukraine's research and innovation sphere into the European Research Area through expanding Ukraine's participation in the implementation of the European Union's Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation is identified. The authors conclude that the common position of the European Union and Ukraine in innovative cooperation is to recognize: the goals of the renewed European Research Area; research and innovation as key drivers and essential tools for sustainable growth, innovative development, economic competitiveness, and attractiveness, as well as the role of European partnerships; the terminology, objectives and instruments of the Horizon Europe programme as part of Ukraine’s national legislation based on Law of Ukraine No. 2233-IX of 3 May 2022. In the absence of effective instruments for the balanced implementation of innovation policy, Ukrainian legislation declaratively establishes the following priorities: ensuring an innovative model of economic development by concentrating state resources on priority areas of scientific and technical modernization of production, increasing the competitiveness of domestic products on domestic and foreign markets; promoting the development of innovative infrastructure as one of the main principles of state innovation policy aimed at supporting the development of Ukraine’s economy through innovation. The need to align the national terminology tools and state innovation policy with EU legal regulations is emphasized. In other words, the dominant priority for Ukraine’s innovative integration into the high-tech European space is the comprehensive systematization and harmonization of the legislative framework, with a focus on its actual effectiveness in accordance with the norms and standards of European Union legislation, instruments, and implementation practices.
