The MITACS Student Awards Program recognizes outstanding achievements of MITACS students and post-doctoral fellows in areas of prime importance to the Network.

Program Details 

MITACS will hold an annual awards competition for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows who are associated with MITACS projects. Each award will consist of a certificate and a monetary prize of $500. We invite applications for awards in the following categories: 

• Best student paper for MITACS-related research (up to 3 awards)
• Best novel use of mathematics in technology transfer (up to 3 awards)
• Outstanding service to the Student Network (1 award)

In a given year, a student is only eligible to receive one award and not every award may be given. The awards will be presented at the MITACS Annual Conference, and the winners' names will be publicized on the MITACS web site and in other promotional material.
