Time is precious and so is our research.

1 slide. 3 minutes. Big Ideas.

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a national competition celebrating the research undertaken by PhD candidates.

Come to our event hosted by broadcaster and journalist, Julia Lester, where you can meet our candidates, learn more about their big ideas and help select the People’s Choice winner for 2019.

The event promises to be an exciting evening of research, entertainment and networking, where one of our researchers will take a step towards competing in Queensland at the 3MT^® national final. The event will be followed by a reception in the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery.
