The article deals with the study of scientific activity as an object of public administration. Attention is paid to the retrospective of legal regulation: 1) the subject of the central executive body, which competence includes the sphere of scientific activity and / or the sphere of science; 2) the sphere of scientific activity and / or the sphere of science as objects of legal regulation. It was found that the concept of «field of science» is not defined at the legislative level in Ukraine, and in the case of mentioning this concept in previous editions of relevant legislation, it was meaningfully about scientific activity. It is substantiated the thesis, that regardless of how the central body of executive power, which subject is scientific activity, was named, the qualitative and meaningful content of its competence in the field of science cannot be detailed solely through the provisions of scientific activity. It is determined that the sphere of science and the sphere of scientific activity are interconnected; the concept of «scientific activity» a priori reflects the procedural aspect, as a kind of social activity; the content of public administration in the field of science should relate to the choice of meaningful research guidelines, priorities for scientific research and compliance with globalization, and public administration in the field of science – to ensure proper ordering and creating conditions for intellectual creativity aimed at gaining new knowledge and (or) search for ways to apply them. It is established that scientific activity as an object of public administration is an integral formation, which structurally consists of such elements as: a) social relations with regards to scientific activities (for example, determining the order of functioning of scientific institutions); b) public relations with regards to the creation of conditions for improving the effectiveness of scientific research and the use of their results to ensure the development of all spheres of public life (for example, protection of intellectual property rights to scientific results); c) public relations with regards to the creation of conditions for conducting scientific activities (for example, ensuring the status of subjects of scientific activity).
