520 _aThis article examines that public science policy and administration comprise those activities of government that are primarily concerned with the use of science and technology to meet recognized public needs. In 1963, when the term "science policy" was formally coined at a meeting of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), it was felt that the activity could be simply defined as "science for policy and policy for science." By 1964, the International Science Policy Foundation had defined it more comprehensively as "a deliberate and coherent attempt to promote a basis for national and international decisions influencing the size, institutional structure, resources and creativity of scientific research in relation especially to its application and public consequences." Thus public science policy and administration include laws and regulations that govern the establishment and operation of public agencies responsible for administering science and technology programs.
