The article deals with problems related to research excellence for innovation and their societal impact, «brain drain» and the formation of entrepreneurial ecosystems. These problems already exist in Ukraine, but they can become exacerbated on the way of its integration into European structures, if the innovation policy does not change. The indicators of research, development and innovation activity in Ukraine and experience of several EU countries are analyzed. The recommendations of the Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility Panel (2016) and the proposals of the European League of Research Universities (2017) are considered.

It is proved that these problems in the process of the European integration movement are exacerbated and can be considered as challenges for the national innovation system and for individual universities. However, it is noted that Ukraine can use the existing positive experience of European countries to overcome similar problems. At the same time, new policies and management will have to counteract the existing approaches, it is also necessary to make changes in the legislation.

In order to overcome these challenges, it was proposed to implement public policy and management measures that were proposed in the author's previous work, in particular to carry out assessment of scientists according to the UK experience, but somewhat simplified, and to introduce a performance based funding system.
