The Three Minute Thesis competition is a research communication competition that provides a valuable opportunity for master's and doctoral students to share their research with a non-specialist audience.

Graduate students have three minutes to explain their research and its importance with only a single static image or slide to illustrate what they're talking about. A panel of judges drawn from the community will evaluate their presentations on criteria including confidence, ease in understanding, significance of the research, and quality of the presentation itself.

Student competitors are selected by the Faculty of Graduate Studies on the basis of short, simple videos submitted as part of the application process. They are then grouped into sets of challengers who compete in heats before an online audience and preliminary judges. The top three winners from each heat will receive prizes, and the winners of the heats go on to the finals that will be held in April 2021.

The 3MT competition offers an experience that promotes professional development, while also being fun and competitive!

The application deadline is January 21. More details and how to apply online can be found at: umanitoba.ca/3mthttps://umanitoba.ca/graduate-studies/student-experience/three-minute-thesis-3mt
