3MT Competition 2024: Celebrating Science Communication and Doctoral Research

The Three Minute Thesis Competition took place on Friday 15, March 2024 in the Literaturhaus Graz.

We thank everyone involved and attending for their great support!

Would there have been an entrance fee, the 3MT competition 2024 would have been sold out. 

About 130 people - University of Graz personnel, students, friends and family of the contestants as well as people interested in various research topics - gathered on Friday, March 15th 2024 at 7 pm in the Literaturhaus Graz to cheer on and vote for their favorite contestant in the 3MT. 

Before the competition, Vice-Rector Mireille van Poppel demonstrated the focus of her research at the Department of Human Movement Sciences, Sport & Health by getting the audience out of its chairs.

After 11 presentations by 11 contestants in a total of around 40 Minutes, the audience voted for the winner of the People's Choice Award. Then, the audience and contestants were treated to free sandwiches and self-pay drinks at the Schrille Grille, while the jury deliberated on who to name the winner of this year's 3MT Graz title. 

 

Congratulations to Silvia Lasnik for winning the Jury's Choice award with her call to stop confusing language competence with having a native speaker accent in "Dragon-Proof Teaching: Slaying Native-Speakerism". 
&
Congratulations to Sarah Masser for winning the People's Choice award with her cancer-fighting presentation "Connect – Combine – Combat: Uncovering Mechanisms of Cancer".

As the winner of the Jury's Choice, Silvia Lasnik now has the chance to compete in the international 3MT Competition by the Coimbra Group - should she be chosen as finalist, Silvia Lasnik will be invited to the annual conference of the Coimbra Group, which will be held in June in Turku. 

A detailed report of the 3MT 2024 and the winner's presentations can be found on the news website of the University of Graz!
