Анотація

The article examines the current problems of the development of Ukraine's scientific and technical sectors in modern economic conditions. The article aims to determine the necessary amount of financing of science in Ukraine for its exit from the crisis state. The primary focus is on the financial factors of raising the prestige of scientists' work. It was determined that the reduction of R&D funding during all 32 years of independence, at a time when the opposite trend is observed in other countries, despite the global crisis of 2007-2009 and the COVID-19 pandemic of 2019-2023. Since one of the main incentives for the development of science, incentives for the involvement of talented youth in its development, and the general prestige of the work of scientists is an increase in the level of wages, the article proposes a model for increasing this indicator. It is proven that ensuring the growth of funding with equal distribution of funds among all scientists by ensuring the appropriate level of salaries at the level of 1.5 from the minimum requires an increase in the funding of science to only 0.7% of GDP, which is two times lower than the legally fixed level of 1. 7% of GDP. It is shown that financing science at the level of the legally established norm will allow an increase in the standard of living of scientists and increase prestige by three times relative to the average salary in Ukraine, which will ensure an increase in scientific personnel with talented young people, will create conditions for the return of talented scientists to Ukraine, will allow to preserve and start developing scientific and technical potential of Ukraine, which should become the basis for overcoming the crisis phenomena of today, restoring the economy in the post-war period and ensuring its strategic development in the future. Keywords: scientific and technical activity, strategic development, financing of R & D.
