The Three Minute Thesis is back! Join us as Higher Degree by Research (HDR) candidates from the College of Design and Social Context take on the challenge of presenting their research in just three minutes.
The 3MT challenges candidates to distill complex ideas into a concise and engaging presentation for a non-specialist audience, using only a single static slide and no props. It's a fantastic opportunity to hear about innovative research happening across the College.
A panel of judges will select a winner and runner-up, who will go on to represent the College at the RMIT-wide 3MT competition on 26 August.
Come along to support your peers, discover new ideas, and see who can make the biggest impact in just three minutes!
