3 Minute Thesis (3MT) Development Series: Online

Given the changes in the emerging context, it is expected that the 3MT Competition will be a virtual competition.

This also means that it is highly likely that faculty heats will be held virtually.  The UNSW interdisciplinary final in September is likely also to be a virtual competition.

The 3MT Development Series presented by Researcher Development will now be all online and we are in the throes of converting our  interactive practice based workshops to support HDRs in preparing for this virtual competition.

The skills you will learn from the series will not only support you in preparing for this virtual competition, they will also give you the chance to develop your online communication skills which can be utilised in future collaborations and opportunities.  Now is an opportune time to invest in this essential skill in 2020.

How will the 3MT development series support you in preparing for your faculty heats?

“The workshops gave me some good strategies to begin writing my talk, to whittle it down to something suitable and to deliver it effectively.”  

“The most surprising thing about the development series was probably learning what not to do. There were a whole bunch of pitfalls which, in hindsight, were obvious. That said, if I didn’t have these spelt out to me, I definitely would have done many of these things.”
