[Reminder] Three-Minute-Thesis Competition – PhD theses explained in three minutes (16 Nov 2024)
An 80,000 word PhD thesis would take 9 hours to present. Their time limit… 3 minutes.
The Three Minute Thesis competition is an internationally renowned competition held at numerous universities worldwide and was adopted by the Coimbra Group to which the University of Göttingen belongs.
In 2024 the Graduate Schools and Alumni Göttingen are hosting their own Three-Minute-Thesis format in the course of the universities alumni day according to the rules and judging criteria of the University of Queensland, inventor of the 3MT format.
Doctoral students from various disciplines (from all four graduate schools) will present their doctoral project in a single static slide (PPP) in English in just three minutes.
This is a reminder, that the competition will be held on 16 November 2024 at the Assembly Hall on the Wilhelmsplatz 1 starting at 15:00 h (map).
Göttingen’s PhD students already participated four times at the international Coimbra Group 3MT competition and three times they made it to the finals:
- 2017 Tanvi Butola (second prize in Edinburgh, GAUSS)
- 2019 Claudia Schmidt (winner in Krakow, GAUSS)
- 2020 Selina Bruns (runner-up virtually in Montpellier, GFA)
