The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Participants have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience.

3MT was developed by The University of Queensland in 2008, and is now held in more than 900 universities in 85 countries around the world.

Students will present their research, ranging from marine biology, to artificial intelligence, to managing floodwaters, to education, and family dynamics.

A distinguished judging panel will determine 1^st and 2^nd place winners and during the event the audience will select the People’s Choice Award. See more here 3MT website page.
