Springer Nature is providing sponsorship for the 2017 Singapore Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition, where twenty PhD candidates from Singapore will gather on August 4, 2017 at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The competition challenges participants to explain their research thesis in a clear and engaging three-minute talk aimed at non-specialists. The main prize, which is sponsored by Springer Nature, is EUR 2,000 to attend the Asia-Pacific 3MT® in Brisbane, Australia on September 29, 2017.
Developed by the University of Queensland in 2008, 3MT® events are now held in over 400 institutions across six continents. This is the first ever nationwide 3MT® competition in Singapore and it is being organised by the NTU Graduate Student Council (NTUGSC). Five PhD students are nominated to attend the Singapore 3MT® from each of the four participating universities: National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Management University and Singapore University of Technology & Design. The judges will select one Singapore 3MT® winner and two runner-ups from the 20 finalists.
The Asia-Pacific 3MT® draws students from Australia, New Zealand, and other countries from Asia such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan.
