Once you develop a technology that requires most research centres of appropriate type, you can freely demolish just enough of them to allow research of the next one.
For example, "Space Station Design SS.1 [Guardian]" requires most ship (62), technology (60) and weapon (50) research centres.
Next below it is "Flagship Design FL.3 [Dragon]" (in fact it's "Orbital structures", but you must have researched it to come to Guardian in the first place). Since FL.3 requires 55 ship, 53 technology and 46 weapon research centres, you can safely demolish surplus in research centres to make room for other, more useful structures, weapon and ship factories, for example.
There will be a minor score drop, but you will be able to get it up again quickly by building something else instead.
In the end, you will end up with no research centres at all - you will have no need for them once all technologies have been researched.
