What is this event about?
The "Three Minute Thesis Competition" is an event where PhD candidates explain their research to an "intelligent lay audience" in three minutes with only one slide.
The 3MT is an academic competition that challenges doctoral candidates to describe their research within three minutes to a general audience. 3MT celebrates the discoveries made by early stage researchers and encourages doctorate candidates to communicate the importance of their research to the broader community.
The 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition requires doctoral researchers to compete to deliver the best research presentation in just 3 minutes (and one slide). It is based on a concept developed by the University of Queensland which quickly spread across Australia and New Zealand, and has gone global.
At the 3 Minute Thesis Competition Graz the participating doctoral candidates compete for the People's Choice (audience award) and the 3MT Graz title (jury award).
