Centre de Recherches Mathématiques
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM) is the first mathematical research institute in Canada, founded in 1969, and recognized as a national research center for the mathematical sciences in 1984.
Located at the University of Montreal, it organizes conferences, workshops and graduate summer schools and hosts approximately 2000 scientists from around the world who attend its annual thematic programs aimed at exploring cutting-edge mathematical research.
The CRM has eight research laboratories in pure and applied mathematics, statistics, and medical brain imaging. It has programs connecting universities to industry, postdoctoral and educational programs, four publications series, including two published in collaboration with the American Mathematical Society, and one with Springer in mathematical physics.
Each year it awards four of the main mathematical sciences prizes in Canada: the CRM-Fields-PIMS prize which is the most prestigious award given in Canada in mathematics, the Aisenstadt Prize, awarded to a young, outstanding, Canadian mathematician, the CRM-SSC Prize, awarded in collaboration with the Statistical Society of Canada to an exceptional, young, Canadian statistician, and finally the CRM-CAP Prize, awarded in collaboration with the Canadian Association of Physicists.
