3MT Practice Sessions

Course description

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT ®) competition celebrates the exciting research conducted by Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) students. Developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), 3MT cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition supports PhD students capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. It is a chance for Flinders’ PhD students to share their ground-breaking research with their colleagues at Flinders and around the world.

Flinders University PhD students are invited to compete to promote their research, develop their communication skills, boost their career and be in the running to win the 2026 Asia-Pacific 3MT prize of a $5,000 research grant.

These sessions will provide you with an opportunity to practice your 3MT presentation, and receive feedback from a previous finalist of the 3MT and other competitors. 

You can attend as many sessions as you like to develop your presentation.

Sessions will be held in either Alere North or Physical Sciences room 003 and facilitated by either Cate Sexton (2025 university winner) or Stefano Zaccagnini (2025 University People's Choice winner).
