Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

Eurostat (rd_e_gerdtot), all sectors, current euros. Price levels and, outside the euro area, exchange rates affect comparisons. For R&D as a share of GDP see the chart Research and Development Spending by Country. Images draw the highest and lowest bars; the page and the data table list every country.

How much each EU country spends on research and development per resident. Denmark, Sweden and Austria spend the most; Romania and Bulgaria the least.
