3MT - Three Minute Thesis - College Heat
Date and Time
Location
Virtual
Details
3MT® is a university-wide competition for graduate students in which participants present their research, creative activity, and its wider impact in 3 minutes or less to a panel of non-specialist judges. The challenge is to present complex research in an engaging, accessible and compelling way, using only one slide.
3MT® is not an exercise in trivializing or ‘dumbing-down’ research but forces students to consolidate their ideas and discoveries to become transferable after graduation. For the 2021 3MT® Competition, each college will hold an online competition in order to decide upon two finalists who will advance to the University of Guelph 3MT® Final Competition on a date this spring to be announced. The public is invited to cheer on the contestants in both the college heats and the final competition. The winner of the University of Guelph 3MT® competition will move on to a virtual Provincial Finals this summer.
