Can you present your research in just three minutes?
Are you a PhD student interested in upgrading your research communication skills? Then strike while the iron is hot as the graduate schools at Aarhus University once again invite all PhD students to apply to participate in the annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition.
The challenge is simple: present your research in just three minutes with just one slide – for an audience of non-specialists.
If you think that sounds exciting, you can apply to participate in the upcoming competition, which will take place on 13 March 2024 at Stakladen on the main AU campus in Aarhus.
All participating PhD students will get professional coaching and feedback on communication, body language, public speaking and other 3MT skills to help you get your message across on stage.
In addition to dramatically improved communication skills, the winner of the AU 3MT competition will receive a 35,000-kroner travel stipend. The winner also gets a chance to become one of the three finalists in the international Coimbra Final along with PhD students from more than 35 European universities. The audience will also get a chance to vote for a People’s Choice Award.
You can read all the details about the competition, requirements and the application process on the Aarhus University website.
The competition will take place in English. The application deadline is 26 January 2024.
Less than two years ago, PhD student Omeed Neghabat from Health won both the national and international communication competition. Do you want to try and follow in his footsteps?
