The aim of this article is to identify legislative-programmatic changes, as well as the scope and directions of research & development (R&D) aid granted in Poland after the accession to the European Union, in the context of Multiannual Financial Perspectives. The changes introduced into relevant legislation in the EU and Poland, and aid programmes implemented throughout three Multiannual Financial Perspectives were analysed. This was followed by in-depth statistical analysis of changes in granting state aid for R&D in Poland. The authors found in this study a strict correlation between R&D aid in Poland and changes arising from the successive financial perspectives. Small enterprises have been the greatest beneficiaries of these changes.

Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja zmian legislacyjno-programowych oraz zakresu i kierunków udzielonej pomocy na badania i rozwój (B+R) w Polsce po akcesji do Unii Europejskiej w kontekście Wieloletnich Ram Finansowych. W związku z tym zostały przeanalizowane zmiany odpowiednich aktów prawnych w UE oraz w Polsce, a także programy pomocowe wdrażane w trakcie trzech wieloletnich perspektyw finansowych. Następnie dokonano pogłębionej analizy statystycznej zmian w udzielaniu pomocy publicznej na B+R w Polsce. Przeprowadzone badanie pozwoliło ustalić, iż pomoc finansowa dla B+R w Polsce była ściśle skorelowana ze zmianami wynikającymi z kolejnych perspektyw finansowych, z których w największym stopniu skorzystali mali przedsiębiorcy.
