The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition challenges students to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. 3MT cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. Currently enrolled master's and doctoral students who are actively engaged in thesis, dissertation, or other culminating research are eligible to register for the competition. This year, 3MT will be held in-person. Registration for the 2023 3MT is now open.

Preliminary rounds will be held March 7, 8, & 9. The 3MT final competition takes place April 6, 2023. All participants must be available to present in person on one of the preliminary round dates and for the final competition, if selected as a finalist. Learn more about the 3MT final competition.
