2024 UVM Graduate College 3 Minute Thesis Competition

3:00-5:00 pm | Carpenter Auditorium – Given Medical Building

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an internationally recognized research communication competition that challenges Ph.D. students to present a compelling oration on their research project and its significance in just 180 seconds, in language accessible to a non-specialist audience.  UVM’s first 3MT is a celebration of the discoveries made by our Ph.D. students and will allow the broader community to learn about ongoing research at UVM. The competition assists Ph.D. students with fostering effective presentation and research communication skills: it asks Ph.D. researchers to consolidate their ideas, crystallize their research discoveries, and capture the imagination of their audience. Competitors will be judged on comprehension, content, engagement, and communication.

Eligibility: All UVM Ph.D. students who have passed their candidacy examination by the date of the competition are eligible to participate in the 3MT competition.

Rules: present research in non-technical language to a general audience with only one static visual slide to accompany the speech.

Hosted by the Graduate College as part of UVM Research Week

Prizes: All contestants gains invaluable experience.
