The formation of the corporate scientific environment Introduction. Science is a special kind of human being. As a rule, this term implies such determinants as: empirics and theories, the body of knowledge, research vocabulary, goals and the set of actions to achieve them. Science includes scientists and their formal and informal organizations; this makes it a social institute.One of the fundamental concepts of science is a scientific community. It is rational to divide the community into three groups. The first one, academic science, ensures the development of fundamental research. The second one, sectoral science, works for the development of national economy. The third one, university science, educates professionals for the first two groups.What all these communities have in common is that they are in the scientific community, which allows them to perform the key function and objectiveto gene rate new knowledge.
