The science policies are, alongside other policy instruments, part of the governance mechanisms in modern societies. Science policy understood as an articulation of the ways and directions for knowledge production is key for understanding the development and spread of innovations. Systematic national and comparative studies on science policies have increased the awareness of the rapid global spread and unified nature of these instruments, which is often argued to take place rather smoothly through copying activities such as imitation and knowledge transfers. This paper challenges the debate on copying and imitation as means of knowledge transfer in global science policy as rather simplistic, when undermining both the agency and the power. Instead of copying and imitation, the author argues for the crucial role of epistemic goverance in moulding the multidirectional ways and processes in which the domestication process of knowledge transfer gets its shape. The empirical part of the paper consists of a case study analysis exploring the birth, functioning and effects of the hybrid organizations, strategic centers of science, technology and innovation in one country. The hybrid organizations in conjunction of business and university, established with the help of government funding, work as domestication vechicles of the national and global science policies. The epistemic governance articulates power through the birth

process of these hybrid organizations.
