Summary/Abstract: In the paper an outline of historic evolution of service aspects of Mechanism Design (hereafter MD) for Science developments is presented with general considerations but emblematic examples as viewed from practical technical viewpoints. In general MD has evolved from a merely practical service to Science activity to a Science activity with return achievements and today it is even itself an instrumental means and motivation for further Science developments.
