Our Prix Lumières Awards
Put an INRS graduate in the spotlight by nominating them for the 2021 Prix Lumières Awards.
What are the Prix Lumières Awards?
Our Lumières are outstanding graduates who shine a spotlight on the importance of science in society and promote the excellence of INRS’s research and training activities. This distinction speaks to their actions, achievements, and inspiring careers, which embody the mission and values of INRS and help the institution make ever greater contributions to science and society. The awards are one of the first initiatives being spearheaded by the new INRS Foundation and were presented for the first time in the fall of 2020.
Who can submit a nomination?
All members of the INRS community can submit nominations, which will be reviewed by a committee of representatives of the INRS community.
How to submit a nomination?
It only takes a few minutes to complete and submit the online nomination form related to one of the three categories by clicking on the corresponding “Help them shine!” button below.
Thank you! The 2021 call for nominations is now closed. The Prix Lumières award winners will be announced at the convocation ceremony on May 15. Join us for the celebrations!
