The prize recognizes exceptional achievement in the mathematical sciences. It was established by the Centre de recherches mathématiques and the Fields Institute as the CRM-Fields prize in 1994. In 2005, PIMS became an equal partner. The name changed to the CRM-Fields-PIMS prize, the award level increased, and the terms of reference were revised. The winner’s research should have been conducted primarily in Canada or in affiliation with a Canadian university and the main selection criterion is outstanding contribution to the advancement of research.
