This paper deals with some basic aspects: theoretical concepts of capacities for S&T policy-making, objects for the enhancement of capacities for S&T policy making at macro and micro levels, and criteria of enhancement of capacities for S&T policy making.

Notion of science-technology policy Actually, there exist numerous different points of view on the position and roles of S&T policies which are subject to practical context, institutional framework, position, roles and scope of concretely defined S&T policies. S&T policies, as all other policies, are management tools of the State or the private sector.

The notion of S&T policies in restrict scope includes policies which are parts of strategies. S&T policies are tools for implementation of activities to achieve the objectives of strategies for S&T development. There exists a hierarchy of notions. Below .
