The designation of Fields Institute Fellow is awarded annually to a select group of people in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the Institute and within the Canadian mathematical community. It is a lifetime appointment.
The CRM-Fields-PIMS prize is the premier Canadian award for research achievements in the mathematical sciences. It is awarded jointly by the three largest Canadian mathematics institutes: the Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM), the Fields Institute and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS). To be eligible, the candidate's research should have been conducted primarily in Canada or in affiliation with a Canadian university. The main selection criterion is outstanding contribution to the advancement of research.
The CAIMS-Fields annual industrial mathematics prize is to be awarded to a researcher in recognition of exceptional research in any branch of industrial mathematics, interpreted broadly. The nominee’s research should have been conducted primarily in Canada.
The Margaret Sinclair Memorial Award recognizes an early- to mid- career educator in Canada who has demonstrated innovation and excellence in promoting mathematics education at the elementary, secondary, college or university level. This annual award is administered by the Fields Institute and is comprised of a $5,000 prize and the opportunity to present a talk at the Fields Institute during the fall of the academic year following the award.
This prestigious six-month appointment will provide a world-renowned researcher with a unique opportunity to work at the Fields Institute with many Canadian and international colleagues on a research project of their choosing.
A joint program of the Fields Institute and select Principal Sponsoring Universities, the Dean’s Distinguished Visiting Professorship brings leading international researchers in the mathematical sciences to the Fields Institute to be in residence for a term. Currently, we have two annual positions: one with McMaster University and one with the University of Toronto.
This fellowship provides an opportunity for a period of full-time research either in residence at the Fields Institute or in collaboration with a faculty member at a Fields Institute Principal Sponsoring University.

Nominations for these fellowships are made by Thematic Program organizers directly to the Fields Institute Directorate.
This one-year fellowship is a unique position intended for new and recent PhDs who are African nationals working in the areas of mathematical sciences or fundamental theoretical physics. The goal of this initiative is to support the careers of young researchers who have a commitment to advance science in Africa.
