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, are made each year. In addition, a
number of CAP Divisions offer prizes for the best student
presentations at the divisional level. Eligibility, selection
procedure, and selection criteria for the competitions are
available through the Congress website each year.
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
décerne 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. Admissibilité,
