Science policy

Science policy is what governments, businesses, and other organizations decide to do (policies) when it comes to science. It means they make decisions about how to use scientific knowledge and technology in a way that is best for people and the planet. For example, a government might decide to fund research into a vaccine for a certain type of disease or to make sure that people have access to clean water. Governments can also decide to put laws in place that help protect the environment. These are all examples of how governments use science policy.
