3-Minute Thesis Competition

The event will feature cash prizes and an all-star judging panel with people you want to impress. This competition is open to all student (defined as prior to obtaining a post-graduation position such as a post-doc) SFB attendees.

In a 3-Minute Thesis (“3MT”) Competition, students present a single static slide as a compelling summary of their dissertation research and its broader impacts. Presentations must be at most three minutes and targeted to a non- technical audience. 3MT is a great way to practice your presentation skills and think about how to convey the significance of your work.

Deadline to Submit: February 26, 2027

Submissions to open shortly!
