Science is one of the main tile yields in Civilization VI. It is used to research developments in the Technology tree.
Sources
Science is mainly earned from population and the Campus district. Each citizen yields +2 Science, and Libraries, Universities, and Research Labs yield +2, +4, and +5 Science respectively. International trade yields an additonal +1 Science, and Scientific city-states will grant massive amounts of Science (up to +4 in every Campus) based on the number of Envoys assigned to that city-state.
Only two Wonders grant Science bonuses. These are the Great Library, which grants +2 Science, and the Oxford University, which grants +20% bonus Science from every city.
Resources
