STM publisher Springer, part of the newly formed publishing group Springer Nature, is sponsoring the Trans-Tasman Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition. This high-profile event challenges doctoral students to condense and explain years of research to a non-specialist audience in a matter of minutes. Doctoral candidates from 50 universities across the Asia Pacific will take part in the contest on 2 October 2015 at the University of Queensland, Australia.
3MT® is an academic communication competition that challenges higher degree students to explain their research to a general audience in just three minutes. Developed by The University of Queensland in 2008, the exercise cultivates students’ academic, presentation and research communication skills. It has spread internationally with competitions now being held in at least 200 universities across more than 18 countries worldwide.
The winner of the 2015 Trans-Tasman 3MT® competition will receive a $5,000 research travel grant, as well as a funded trip to compete in the Falling Walls Lab Final and Conference in Berlin.
