Abstract: The article deals with the issue of R&D in selected countries formulated in the Europe 2020 strategy in terms of the total volume of expenditure incurred for these activities, the structure of expenditure, their share to the GDP of countries and other partial indicators, which point to differences in R&D areas between analyzed and compared countries. The object of analysis and comparison are three countries (Czech Republic, Greece and Portugal), which have been selected based on the criteria of comparability in terms of population. Part of the article will predict the expected development of the indicator expressing the share of expenditure on R&D in GDP of countries in order to determine whether the targets set for each country are achievable by 2020. If the evolution of the indicator follow in the future according to significant linear model, the Czech Republic would continue to reach the target value related to the share of business expenditure in the GDP. However, Portugal would be the most lagging behind the national target and Greece would gradually approach the target, but it did not reach it by 2020.
