Celebrating research
Celebrating research
We take our research seriously, and yet we also love to celebrate the exceptional moments throughout the year when we’re able to appreciate and applaud our researchers in our showcase events. These include the annual three-minute thesis competition, and our series of Professorial Lectures
Annual JCU Singapore 3MT Event
At JCU, we think it is really important to encourage and showcase the research efforts of our higher degree research (HDR) candidates. 3MT develops academic, presentation and research communication skills, while developing research students’ (and academic researchers) ability to explain their research effectively in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. Visualisations of research opens myriad ways to capture and convey key messages and findings and substantially increase the reach and potential impact of the research through social and mainstream media, YouTube and other platforms.

The Joint Higher Degree by Research Conference 2021 (JHDRC 2021) is the initiative of candidates and research deans at James Cook University Singapore (JCUS) and the University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM), building on the MOU signed between the universities in 2019.
The online conference was held as a live webinar event on 3 December 2021 and 15 higher degree research candidates from both universities presented their research topics. The diversity in topics was aimed to encourage multidisciplinary cooperation between developing researchers across the two universities.
