For many years the CSEP has honoured a graduate student with an award based on their research contribution to the AGM. Up to four finalists are invited to present their research at the Graduate Student Award Symposium, scheduled for the first evening of the conference.
Until 1999, a panel of judges selected one winner from the candidate papers, and the winner was announced at the CSEP AGM. From 2000 onwards, four finalists are invited present at the Graduate Student Symposium at the CSEP AGM and the winner is selected by a panel convened by the convened by the VP-Research.
For the Graduate Student Award Terms of Reference, please visit this page.
