3 Minute Thesis Competition (3MT)


When: 27 August 2021, 1pm to 3pm

What is the 3 Minute Thesis?

The 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) is a research communication competition that showcases academic and research skills.

Participants have three minutes to present a compelling presentation on their research and its significance. The competition format challenges participants to consolidate their ideas and research discoveries so they can effectively explain their research in language appropriate to a lay audience.

At James Cook University, we are pleased to encourage the research efforts of higher degree by research candidates and academic staff, and we welcome their participation. This year we are again extending eligibility for our external academic partners.
