This article provides a comprehensive overview of the paradigmatic and institutional-functional aspects of the integration of scientific knowledge in Ukrainian legal scholarship, taking into account the relevant experience of Romania and Bulgaria as member states of the European Union. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of current trends in the transformation of the concept of the European Research Area, which envisages the improvement of mechanisms for the interaction of legal science with the state, society, and legal practice. These changes are aimed at the effective integration of EU scientific resources and ensuring the free movement of researchers, knowledge, and technologies. It is argued that the institutional-functional dimension of the integration of scientific knowledge determines the level of institutional capacity of legal science, its ability to influence social processes, and the formation of legal policy. The methodological foundation of the study is based on a combination of comparative legal, doctrinal, and interdisciplinary approaches, which allows for a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of legal science. The methodology of legal science is interpreted as a complex discursive system that integrates doctrinal-ideological, strategic, and instrumental components. The results obtained are aimed at substantiating the priority directions for the methodological renewal of legal science in Ukraine in the context of European integration and strengthening its role in social development.
