Beyond Perimeter - Alumni 25th Anniversary Event

Since its founding, training has been a cornerstone of Perimeter Institute’s mission. Over the years, we have supported nearly 1,000 postdoctoral researchers and graduate students along their academic journeys. Many have gone on to make remarkable contributions in academia and industry, while others have focused on creating positive change in the world.

To mark Perimeter’s 25th Anniversary, we are proud to host the inaugural Perimeter Circle Alumni Awards event.

A shortlist of Award nominees will be providing talks and networking sessions in this 2-day event. 

Join us to meet these outstanding alumni and hear their stories beyond Perimeter.
