Register for UiB's 3 Minute Thesis competition
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an international research communication competition that challenges PhD candidates to present their research in just three minutes, using a single static slide, to a general audience. The competition was originally developed at the University of Queensland in 2008 and has since grown into an international event, with competitions organised by networks such as the Coimbra Group and SANORD. UiB invites PhD candidates from all disciplines to participate in our internal 3MT competition. The winner will represent UiB in the international finals of the Coimbra Group and SANORD.
