This article is devoted to the problems and prospects of Ukraine’s integration into the European Research Area (ERA). The impact of European integration processes on the state of the economy and innovation ecosystem of Ukraine is studied. Positive results are summarized, and the main systemic problems that hinder Ukraine’s integration into the ERA are identified. A set of organizational and institutional measures for gaining wider access to knowledge, infrastructure, and funding of the European Union and accelerating the pace of integration into the ERA are proposed. Recommendations for the formation of an integrated system of state strategic planning for the development of scientific, technological, and innovative spheres of Ukraine are developed. Strategic priority areas of cooperation between Ukraine and the EU in the field of science, technology, and innovation have been identified, taking into account national and global challenges, achievements and potential of Ukrainian science, and the new strategic agenda of the EU.
