Abstract

The article deals with experience on the regulation of the scientific activities of European countries (Germany, Great Britain, France, Sweden and Finland), the United States of America, Japan and China. The peculiarities of the activity of public regulation bodies in these countries and the methods of regulation that they use are studied. The structure of scientific institutions, methods and sources of their financing, as well as directions of use of the received funds are established. The common and distinctive features of scientific activity of the majority of developed countries of the European Union are found out. The role of Technological parks, city-technopolises and educational institutions in the development of world scientific and technological progress has been established. Studying the foreign experience of public regulation of scientific activity made it possible to find out the differences of such regulation in different countries of the world. The general trend of world scientific and technological progress, especially in countries such as the USA, Japan and China, is the creation and development of technological, scientific parks and the construction of entire cities - scientific technopolis.
