Nomination Information

Cathleen Synge Morawetz Prize

Nominations are currently welcomed for the 2023 Cathleen Synge Morawetz Prize.
Deadline: September 30

The Cathleen Synge Morawetz Prize is for an author(s) of an outstanding research publication. A series of closely related publications can be considered if they are clearly connected and focused on the same topic. At least one author of any nominated paper should be part of the Canadian Mathematical community.

The Cathleen Synge Morawetz Prize will be awarded according to the following 6-year rotation of subject areas:

1. Geometry and Topology (2021, and every six years thereafter),
2. Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Logic and foundations, and Mathematical Aspects of Computer Science (2022 , and every six years thereafter),
3. Applied mathematics, including but not limited to Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing, Control Theory and Optimization, and Applications of Mathematics in Science and Technology  (2023, and every six years thereafter),
4. Probability and Mathematical Physics (2024, and every six years thereafter),
5. Algebra, Number theory, Algebraic geometry (2025, and every six years thereafter),
6. Analysis and Dynamical systems (2026, and every six years thereafter).

All of the above fields will be understood most broadly, to ensure that any outstanding publication can be considered under at least one of the categories. A paper (or a series of papers) which has significantly impacted more than one of the listed fields can be nominated more than once in the six-year rotation.  The nomination must focus on a single topic, rather than a broad body of work by the nominee.

This call for nominations is for an author(s) of a publication or a series of closely related publications in the field of Applied mathematics, including but not limited to Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing, Control Theory and Optimization, and Applications of Mathematics in Science and Technology.

CMS aims to promote and celebrate diversity in the broadest sense. We strongly encourage department chairs and nominating committees to put forward nominations for outstanding colleagues for research in the mathematical sciences regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation.

The nomination letter should highlight the research paper(s) being nominated, providing evidence of its impact and significance. The nomination letter should list the chosen referees, and should include a recent curriculum vitae of the nominee(s), if available. Up to three reference letters in support of the nomination should be sent directly to the CMS.

All documents should be submitted electronically, preferably in PDF format and no later than the deadline date above, to csmprize@cms.math.ca.
