Three Minute Thesis. Founded by the University of Queensland

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia. The competition challenges graduate students to present their research and its wider impact in three minutes or less to a panel of non-specialist judges.
