Comments on R&D Policy in our Country and Abroad

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to remind the latest main changes of scientific activities in Slovakia and at the international level too. We underline the very facto f the deepening of the backwardness in this field of the EU compared to the USA and Japan, which is an important challenge, which overcoming constitutes an impor-tant challenge for the EU and has been included in the Lisabon agenda. Despite of these facts, the share of resources of GDP devoted to R & D in Europe stagnates or decreases. Such a development leads at he EU level to a non-fulfilling of the aims of the Lisabon strategy. The situation is Slovakia is much worse. In our article we emphasize the main reasons of this situation not only in the EU, but also in Slovakia, and the necessity for us to foster much more the R & D activities and to improve the governance of our R & D system.
