3MT offers doctoral students the opportunity to present their research in three minutes to an interested lay audience in both an entertaining and easily understood way. 

The 3MT events are open to the public; we encourage our competitors to bring your friends and family. Participants and guests are asked to arrive well before the competition starts, as access to the room will be closed during the presentations.

For more about 3MT head to the official website and check out some of the videos.

Join us in celebrating our winners and participants after the event over lunch and coffee.
