Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ) that celebrates the exciting research conducted by research students. PhD students have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its significance. 3MT challenges students to consolidate their ideas and research discoveries so they can be presented concisely to a non-specialist audience. Participation can help foster your academic, presentation, and research communication skills.
