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).
