RSC Awards

To attain its objectives, RSC recognizes excellence as well as outstanding achievements and contributions to knowledge, research and innovation in Canada by awarding medals and prizes.

RSC has traditionally administered endowed and sponsored awards, generally named to honour past Fellows. These awards are not limited to Fellows and are open to any candidate for achievements in either or both official languages in a wide spectrum of disciplines: in Science and Technology, in the Social Sciences, and in the Humanities.

Twenty-one Society awards are offered on an annual or biennial basis and consist of either medals or scrolls, some of them with cash prizes.
