CEACS Certificate of Merit

The CEACS Certificate of Merit was introduced in order to recognize exceptional contributions made to the development of Canadian Studies in the Central European region. These may be in such areas as teaching excellence; the creation of new and innovative Canadian Studies courses; the establishing of Canadian Studies Centres; lifelong achievement and commitment to Canadian Studies; publishing in the area of Canadian studies; the translation of Canadian texts; the organization of conferences promoting Canadian studies; or other contributions that clearly aid the promotion of Canadian Studies.

Every three years members may nominate individuals for the award. Those selected as recipients are then present with their certificate at the triennial conference of the CEACS. So far the following awards have been made (clicking on the names takes you to the texts of the citations).

The Pierre Savard Awards were established by the International Council for Canadian Studies in memory of the distinguished Canadian historian and Canadianist Pierre Savard, President of the ICCS from 1983 to 1985. Designed to recognize outstanding scholarly monographs on a Canadian topic, two are awarded each year, one to a book written in English or French, the other to a book written in some other language.
