You’re invited to the Three Minute Thesis BC Winner’s Showcase. Expand your mind and your knowledge of the outstanding graduate student research happening at UBC, SFU and UNBC. You’ll even have an opportunity to vote for your favourite!
This event allows you to experience the presentations of the top seven finishers from recent 3MT competitions held in BC this spring.
3MT is an academic competition, originally held at the University of Queensland in 2008, which challenges graduate students to communicate the breadth and significance of their research project to a general audience – and they have only 3 minutes.
