The article presents the results of research on the EU regions (NUTS 2) convergence. The subject of discussion was both sigma and beta convergence (absolute and conditional). The study was conducted among the regions together, and in the isolated regions such as classes according to the level of economic development and innovation. The analysis was performed using the standard deviation of the logarithm of the product (due to the assessment of the absolute convergence) and models for panel data (due to the convergence of both types of evaluation). This allowed not only the comprehensive analysis, but also to control the accuracy of the results. (original abstract)
