The Canadian Association of Physicists has established these
awards to recognize student members giving the best oral and
poster research presentations at the annual CAP Congress. Up to
three awards in each category, each consisting of a certificate of
recognition and a cash prize, will be made each year. In addition,
a number of CAP Divisions offer prizes for the best student
presentations at the divisional level.
L'Association canadienne des physiciens et physiciennes a créé
ces prix afin de récompenser les membres étudiants auteurs des
meilleures communications au congrès annuel. Elle décernera
tous les ans un maximum de trois prix dans chaque catégorie,
chacun consistant d’un certificat de mérite et d’une somme. De
plus, plusieurs divisions offrent des prix pour leurs meilleures
présentations étudiantes.
Eligibility, selection procedure, and selection criteria for the
competitions are available through the Congress website each year.
The full list of winners, including divisional prize winners and
honourable mentions, can be found on the CAP website, under
medals/awards.
Admissibilité, modalités et critères de sélection pour les prix sont
sur le site web de l’ACP. Le liste complète des gagnants et
mentions honorables, incluant les prix aux niveaux divisionnels,
se trouvent sur le site internet de l’ACP, sous la rubrique
médailles/prix.
