What is 3MT?

In the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) format, participants have precisely three minutes to convey the essence of a subject or project to a non-specialist audience. The goal is to condense complex ideas into a short timeframe and make your presentation accessible and interesting to listeners who may not be familiar with your topic.

Rules

In addition to the strict 3-minute time limit, participants are only permitted to use a single static presentation slide; slide transitions and animations are not allowed. No additional electronic media (e.g. sound and video files) are permitted. No props (e.g. costumes, musical instruments, laboratory equipment) are permitted. Presentations are to be spoken word (e.g. no poems, raps, or songs).
