At the beginning of November, the Ministry of Education plans to present the project of the Roadmap for Ukraine's integration into the European Research Area (ERA-UA).

According to the Ministry of Education, the active stage of preparation of the draft document is currently underway.

According to Deputy Minister of Education and Science Maksym Strikha, Ukraine will take the Austrian Road Map as an example, primarily its structure and general principles.

"In our Roadmap, we will also describe the current situation, our goals, what we need to do to achieve them, what will be the indicators of change, etc. We must focus on concrete steps that will bring us closer to European standards. As a result, this document should change the approaches to the field of science that exist in the state today," said Strikha.

Preparation of the Roadmap for the integration of Ukraine into the European Research Area is carried out according to 6 priorities: effective national research systems, optimal transnational cooperation and competition, open labor market, gender equality in research, optimal exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge, as well as international cooperation.

The Roadmap is planned to be approved by the Ministry of Education by the end of this year.
