scientific institutions
Where discoveries happen
Scientific institutions are organizations dedicated to research, education, or the advancement of knowledge in the sciences—universities, laboratories, academies, and research centers.
The term often appears in discussions of credibility and authority: Scientific institutions have reached consensus on climate change.
It can carry either respect for expertise or suspicion of establishment power, depending on the speaker.
