NSERC Gilles Brassard Doctoral Prize for Interdisciplinary Research

From 2012 to 2018, the NSERC Gilles Brassard Doctoral Prize for Interdisciplinary Research was awarded to an outstanding recipient of an NSERC Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship who best exemplified interdisciplinary research. Preference was given to a recipient who planned on pursuing doctoral studies at a different university from the one that granted their most recent degree. Valued at $10,000, the prize was established in 2012 by Gilles Brassard, winner of the 2009 Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal for Science and Engineering.
