The Medals for Distinguished Service

  • The Great Medal for Distinguished Service is reserved for research efforts deemed "remarkable from an international perspective".
  • The smaller gold medal is given to award "exemplary, exceptional efforts of lasting value".
  • The silver medal goes to a young, promising talent, for example "within the area of innovation and collaboration".
