The project must be in the form of an article (in a journal with an editorial review board), a book or book chapter, a patent, a creation or a performance of which the applicant is the author. Oral presentations and posters are not eligible. The deadline for applications to the current edition is September 1st, 2016.

The winners may also be featured in other news media outlets and at events, including Les années lumière and Bien dans son assiette on ICI Radio-Canada Première, campus media, Curium magazine and the Gala Reconnaissance du Palais des congrès de Montréal, and of course, on Calcul Québec’s website, in our newsletters and through our social media channels when the recipient is one of our users!
