Summary/Abstract: The article presents the study of spatial variability of parameters being the main indicators describing innovativeness on the basis of European Innovation Scoreboard for the period 2010–2016. For this purpose we applied our own tool to assess the structure and input data vectors, and to select a correlation model for the input data and to assess the parameters of the selected model used. Thanks to this we positioned European countries in the EISin terms of innovative activity, in particular in conducting research and development, patenting of inventions and implementation of innovations. Using the developed tool we estimated the value of R&D expenditures, the intensity of enterprises’ involvement in innovative activity that are necessary to achieve at least the average level of innovation calculated for countries covered by the European Innovation Scoreboard. The results obtained may constitute recommendations for the innovation policy makers deciding on the scope of supporting innovative activities. The analyses carried out present an assessment of the effectiveness of public and private R&D expenditures which are based on the results obtained and comparative assessments and allow to formulate the directions and scope of public involvement in stimulating innovativeness that determines the acceleration of the Polish economy development.
