Summary/Abstract: Conducted investigations show that research and development sector slowly builds its position in the Polish economy. The growth of expenditure, though considerable in nominal terms, is only slightly quicker than the growth of GDP. Therefore the share of expenditure on R+D in GDP, as the most measurable coefficient, has not reached 1% of GDP. In the regional structure of R+D sphere the petrification of the state worked out at the beginning of transformation period is visible. The most economically developed regions, with the highest GDP level, show the highest involvement, the largest financial and human expenditure, whereas the regions with low level of economic development remain the outsider of research and development policy.
