The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition challenges research graduate students to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its significance in just three minutes in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.
The CSE “Three Minute Thesis” competition is modeled after the competition developed at the University of Queensland (http://threeminutethesis.org/). This competition format is spreading across the world – see https://threeminutethesis.uq.edu.au/participating-institutions!
Participating in the 3MT competition will help you prepare for presenting at conferences and a the CSE Student Research Symposium (SRS), but also for being able to be successful in presenting you and your work to a possible future employer etc.
