THE EVALUATION OF SCIENTIFIC POTENTIAL OF THE DOMESTIC ECONOMIC SYSTEM

The national scientific potential as a source of effective cooperation of business and science is researched. The dynamics of conducting scientific activity by the subjects of the national economy testifies to a certain fate of the national scientific tradition. There are tendencies in the reduction of scientific and technical knowledge and the increase in the number of scientific personnel, mostly in the public sector of the economy. The problem of domestic science is the high level of "outflow of intelligence", mainly in the fields of biology, physics and mathematics. So, there is a need to update the organizational management of scientific activity. The low position of Ukraine in the world rankings of the knowledge economy testifies to system gaps in cooperation between science and business. At the same time, the existing potential opens the prospect of integration with the European Research Area, provided that it approaches the EU policy in the relevant area.
