Abstract: The area of research and development support in Slovakia has long been underestimated. Before 2007, there was no comprehensive support system for research, development and innovation in Slovakia comparable to other EU countries. In Slovakia, in 2007-2013, the R & D Operational Program was the dominant source of funding for research, development and innovation from the EU Structural Funds, in particular by supporting the development of research infrastructure. This paper analyzes the impacts of implementation of EU structural funds on the development, support and development of research infrastructure across all three programming periods in the Slovak Republic. The benefits of projects funded through the Research and Development Operational Program in the 2007-2013 programming period can be considered to be breakthrough in many aspects of the R & D and innovation infrastructure system. Through these sources, the basic framework of research infrastructure in Slovakia was built in the 2007-2013 programming period. On this basis, the research potential in Slovakia can be developed in the current period, either through resources from the current 2014-2020 programming period, other grants or through the state budget of the SR.
