CHS 3MT

About the 3MT Competition

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia. The competition supports research students’ capacities to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. Many universities in the Asia-Pacific region have a proud history of participating in the event.

Communicating your research simply and directly in ways that a wide range of non-experts can understand is increasingly understood as being intrinsic to research practice. Successful communication involves a lot more than mere dissemination of results but a thoughtful engagement with potential research users and audiences.
