Showcase your research at this year’s Three Minute Thesis Competition

Have you been working on some amazing research? Are you looking to promote your research and build essential skills that are highly valued by others?

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition is your opportunity to share your incredible research with the Laurier community and beyond!

The 3MT challenges research-based master’s and PhD students to present their research to a layperson audience in three minutes or less. Students are allowed one slide, but no props and no notes.

New this year, Laurier is offering an undergraduate 3MT competition. Undergraduate students at Laurier who are completing a research-based thesis, major research paper or directed studies project under faculty supervision are welcome to register for the undergraduate competition.

Along with opportunity to present your research and its impacts, the benefits of participating in the 3MT can include, but is not limited to:

• Publicizing your research and yourself.
• Improving presentation and communication skills.
• Learning how to consolidate ideas.
• Recognition and up to $1,000 in prize money.
• Networking opportunities.

Participants will be competing on Wednesday, March 27 in the Senate and Board Chambers. The winner of the graduate student competition will go on to compete at the provincial competition at McMaster University in April.

Registration is open until March 1 at midnight. All undergraduate, master’s and PhD students are welcome to join the competition to explain your research in three minutes or less!
