The article substantiates the need for Ukraine's European integration in the research sphere, outlines the regulatory and legal principles of The European integration processes. The content, main features, tasks and principles of the formation of the European research space are revealed, the parameters of the main programs of scientific and technical cooperation within the EU are laid out. Particular attention is paid to the coverage of the content of THE programs COST, EUREKA, HORI-2020, made an analysis of Ukraine's participation in these programs, existing achievements and problems. It is concluded that Ukraine does not use all opportunities for cooperation in the scientific and technological sphere with the EU. The content of the Roadmap for Ukraine's integration into the European research space developed by the Ministry of Education and Science has been assessed and its weaknesses have been revealed. The roadmap is an intra-industry document, has a limited scope, as it does not apply to research organizations of academic science and business. Also in the road map, the research sphere is considered in isolation from the innovation process. It is concluded that it does not provide European integration of the entire research system of Ukraine, so it needs to be improved. Proposals have been made to improve the institutional environment for Ukraine's effective integration into the European research space with the launch of the new Horizon Europe programme for 2021-2027. It is justified that the main coordinating role in this process should be played by the National Council of Ukraine for the Development of Science and Technology.
