Fall 2020 3MT
Fall 2020 3MT Competition
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic research communication competition that challenges graduate students to present a compelling speech about their research and its significance to non-academic persons in just three minutes using only one presentation image. The goals of the competition are to (1) highlight the excellent research conducted by graduate students and (2) improve graduate students’ communication of research to non-specialist and non-academic audiences. The judges of the competition are educated professionals in a variety of positions in corporate, government, and non-profit industries.
KU's 2020 3MT® Competition heats take place October 26-October 30. The finals will take place November 9–13.
