[Invitation] Three Minute Thesis Competition (3MT®)
We are pleased to invite you to our Three Minute Thesis competition (3MT®) happening tomorrow, 6th September 2016, from 11am – 3pm at the Great Hall.
The audience can also participate in the competition by taking part in the 3MT® People’s Choice competition where audiences will get the chance to vote for the participant who best explains his/her research work.
Fancy hearing an 80,000 word thesis explained in less than 180 seconds?
Research students from across the globe are doing just that in preparation for the Three Minute Thesis Competition (3MT®).
Established by the University of Queensland (UQ) in 2008, 3MT is now held in universities around the globe.
3MT contestant must condense their research into a brief, engaging presentation for a non-specialist audience, using a single static presentation slide. The aim is to help research students develop their academic, presentation, and research communication skills.
UNMC will hold its 3MT competition this year on 6th September 2016, from 11am – 3pm at the Great Hall. The contestants comprise of active PhD students who have successfully passed their first year confirmation review milestone (including thesis under submission).
The winner of the Malaysia Campus will progress to the video round to compete against the other Nottingham campuses. The overall winner will represent the entire University of Nottingham at the U21 Final, also via video, which will be judged by an international panel of industry and academic professionals. The winner of the entire 3MT Competition will receive a bursary of US$2,500 to visit a U21 university of their choice to benefit their research or on-going career development.
