The purpose of this award is to recognize and encourage significant experimental or theoretical contributions to condensed matter and materials physics. While the main criterion for awarding the Brockhouse medal is the impact of the research accomplishments, preference will be given for recent important advances in condensed matter and materials physics. The candidate’s research should have been done primarily in Canada or in affiliation with a Canadian university, industry or government laboratory. The medal will be awarded by the Canadian Association of Physicists on the recommendation of a selection committee established by the Division of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. The medal will normally be awarded to one person but may be shared when several candidates have contributed significantly to the same research accomplishments.
