The Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM), the Fields Institute, and the
Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) invite nominations
for the joint CRM-Fields-PIMS prize, awarded in recognition of exceptional
research achievement in the mathematical sciences. 
 
The prize was established in 1994 as the CRM-Fields prize. Renamed in 2005,
all subsequent prizes have been awarded jointly by all three institutes.
Previous recipients are: H.S.M. Coxeter, George Elliott, James Arthur,
Robert Moody, Stephen Cook, Michael Sigal, William Tutte, John Friedlander,
John McKay, Edwin Perkins, Donald Dawson, David Boyd, Nicole

Slade.
 
The selection committee is appointed by the three institutes and will select
the 2011 CRM-Fields-PIMS prize recipient on the basis of outstanding
contributions to the advancement of the mathematical sciences, with
excellence in research as the main selection criterion. The candidate’s
research should have been conducted primarily in Canada or in affiliation
with a Canadian university.
 
A monetary prize will be awarded, and the recipient will be asked to present
a lecture at the CRM, the Fields Institute, and PIMS.
 
The final deadline for nominations is November 1, 2010. Nominations should
be submitted by at least two sponsors of recognized stature, and must
include the following: three supporting letters, curriculum vitae, list of
