[Alejandro Adem]

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The Centre de recherches mathematiques (CRM), the Fields Institute, and
the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) invite
nominations for the joint CRM-Fields-PIMS prize, in recognition of
exceptional research achievement in the mathematical sciences. The
candidate's research should have been conducted primarily in Canada or in
affiliation with a Canadian university.

The prize was established as the CRM-Fields prize in 1994. Renamed in
2005, the 2006 and later prizes will be awarded jointly by all three
institutes. Previous recipients are: H.S.M. Coxeter, George A. Elliott,
James Arthur, Robert Moody, Stephen A. Cook, Israel Michael Sigal, William
T. Tutte, John Friedlander, John McKay, Edwin Perkins, Donald Dawson,
David Boyd, Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann, Joel Feldman, Allan Borodin and
Martin Barlow.

The selection committee, formed by the three institutes, will select a
recipient for the 2010 prize on the basis of outstanding contributions to
the advancement of the mathematical sciences, with excellence in research
as the main selection criterion.

A monetary prize will be awarded, and the recipient will be asked to
present a lecture at each of CRM, the Fields Institute, and PIMS.

Nominations should be submitted by November 1, 2009 by at least two
sponsors of recognized stature, and should include the following elements:
3 supporting letters, curriculum vitae, list of publications, and up to
four preprints. Nominations will remain active for two years. At most one
prize will be awarded during any academic year.
