³ÉÈË´óƬ

³ÉÈË´óƬ PhD candidates have just three minutes each to explain their research that includes subjects like anti-venom, green electricity, diplomatic fashion, the evolution of mobile phones, growing your own food, and asthmatic pregnancies.

Ten students will compete in the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition in front of a live audience using only a single PowerPoint slide as a visual aid.

3MT is a fun and collaborative way to develop researchers’ ability to effectively communicating the impact of their research, skills that will be necessary throughout their career.
