3 Minute Thesis Competition (3MT)
We’re pleased to announce that we’re back to a live format this year. We’re also being flexible so as not to exclude those who remain overseas on the date of the competition. Therefore, our 2022 event will be offered in blended mode at a campus venue and via Zoom.
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 to our external academic partners.
