Abstract

This paper reports a study into the essence, levels, forms, principles, and types of means of innovative support, as well as the procedure for their provision, which are provided for by the framework agreement "Horizon Europe". A critical analysis of certain elements of this framework agreement was performed. The expediency of conducting scientific research on changing the international legal regulation of implementation of measures of innovative support within the framework program of the European Union "Horizon Europe" has been substantiated.

This study is aimed at forming the concept of improving the normative mechanisms of legal regulation of the implementation of means of innovative incentives within the framework of the law of the European Union. In addition, the issue of developing proposals to improve legal mechanisms for assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of previously provided means of support was investigated.

It is proved that the formation of an integral concept of supporting innovation processes within the framework of the temporary framework program has a destabilizing effect. A concept of improving the system of normative regulation of means of innovative support and technology transfer in the general system of EU legislation has been proposed. Within the framework of the proposed concept, the expediency of transferring part of the subject of legal regulation of the framework agreement "Horizon Europe" to acts of EU legislation of a higher level is substantiated. Also, a concept of improving the legal mechanisms for assessing the effectiveness of previously provided incentives for innovation and technology transfer has been formed. It is substantiated that such mechanisms should be based on the activities of an expert collegial body within the European Innovation Council.

The study results could be used in the formation of international regulations, for the appropriate regulation of these relations.
