University of Waikato 3MT Doctoral Heats

The Three Minute Thesis Competition challenges doctoral candidates to present their theses using language appropriate to a non-specialist audience, in just three minutes and using just one PowerPoint slide. The presentation should address the following questions:

• What are you researching?
• Why are you researching this topic?
• What are the values or outcomes of your research?

Through this competition, candidates will gain valuable experience in discussing and communicating effectively to a wide variety of audiences, both academic and non-academic, including the wider community.
