Summary/Abstract: The article compares the position of the FRG and Poland regarding R&D at the beginning of the 21st century. The R&D level of a country essentially determines its economic growth, since research and development works – their scope and structure – are a crucial influence on technical progress. The FRG has a much stronger position in research and development works than Poland and German science develops more dynamically. The causes of this state of matters lie mainly in the FRG’s advantage in the intensity of research and development and a different structure of financing this field of activity.
