Explain your research to me. You’ve got three minutes: Go!

Developing a graduate student thesis is a process that can take many years of long research. Students tend to work within a very small group of colleagues who share a similar knowledge base.

On Thursday, March 12, Ontario Tech University will put the spotlight on graduate student research as candidates for master’s degrees and PhDs publicly share their discoveries during the annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition.

3MT® is a university-wide competition for graduate students to summarize the key points of their research and its potential impacts to a general audience–in just 180 seconds. The university’s School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies offers more than 30 distinct programs.

Heats

• Wednesday, March 11
• Schedule on the 3MT® Event website.

Finals

• Thursday, March 12, starting at 2:30 p.m.

Location

• Ontario Tech University
  2000 Simcoe Street North

The university’s first-place winner on March 12 will advance to the 2020 Ontario 3MT® finals at the University of Windsor.
