The Ribenboim Prize is usually presented biennially for distinguished research in number theory by a mathematician who is Canadian (or has close connections to Canadian mathematics) and has received their Ph.D. in the last 12 years. The winner is expected to give a plenary talk at the award ceremony.

Due to the pandemic, there will be two winners at

CNTA XVI, June 10 - 14, 2024 at The Fields Institute in Toronto.

For the first, the PhD defense should have been in 2008 or after, and for the second, 2012 or after.

We are seeking nominations from members of the community for both prizes. We prefer nominees remain ignorant of their nomination though we request

--- A nomination letter,

--- A CV

--- 2 or 3 reference letters (depending on how expert the nominator feels).

Please send them to

(Reference letter-writers can send their letters directly)

We will start considering nominations on April 1st.
