Scientific/academic distinction definition
Scientific/academic distinction means that your work has been recognised by another academic and/or professional body. As indicated on p.19 of the Rules of Tendering, this can be demonstrated by furnishing proof of membership in academic research networks or think- tanks or other indications for scientific excellence such as awards, grants for research projects and similar. A list of memberships/grants is sufficient; we do not need to receive a written confirmation of the body in question.
