This is how it works in my setting:
On one continent, science is considered a semi-religious pursuit as it is investigating the nature of how God's world works. Different monasteries have different methods of varying efficacy and areas of expertise. However, this method is slow and mostly reactionary to whatever problem is being addressed with scientific research. Some monasteries may spend years dedicating itself to investigate a phenomenon to solve a problem and after using faulty methods that rely on superstition, they might conclude "I guess it isn't meant to solved and this is one of God's funny little tests. God writes from the top-down, after all.*"
*(the continent's version of "God works in mysterious ways," referencing the common bottom-up written script based on smoke divination)
The major power of the other continent is dominated by a union of university-states known as the Consortium. Its backstory is 1000 years ago, a Genghis Khan/Alexander the Great/Napoleon type conqueror invaded the continent which at the time was made up of fractured regressive polities born from a collapsed empire. Over time, he reformed their laws and governance based on his homeland's, including its academic system, which over centuries coalesced with the noble elite, creating a technocracy.
