About Three Minute Thesis (3MT®)
About
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT庐) competition is an event designed to test the presentation skills of graduate students. Knowledge in a field will allow you to succeed, but can you communicate it effectively to an audience from diverse backgrounds?
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT庐) is an academic research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia. It has since been adopted by universities around the world. The Dean of UQ鈥檚 Graduate School, Professor Alastair McEwan, said 3MT庐 was designed to develop skills that will give students an important career advantage once they complete their studies. 3MT庐 provides a unique opportunity to profile and celebrate the innovative research conducted by postgraduate research candidates from around the world.
鈥淚t is a reality that many Ph.D. students will need to communicate their ideas and results to people who may not necessarily have expertise in their field,鈥� Professor McEwan said. 鈥�3MT庐 develops the ability of students to communicate the significance and outcomes of their project in a short space of time.鈥�
