Description

Imagine condensing hours, days and even years of complex research into a short presentation while being judged by an expert panel and lecture theatre full of your peers and strangers. An 80,000 word thesis would take 9 hours to read, they have 3 minutes.

Join us for an evening of smart entertainment and catch a glimpse of the amazing research projects that are being conducted on campus by ANU PhD students suitable for the whole family.

On the night, twelve finalists will wow you and the judges for the #ANU3MT 2017 crown, $4000 in prize money and a place in the 3MT Asia-Pacific grand final. We need you to cast your vote for the People's Choice award, the audience favourite will take home a $500 cash prize.

The 3MT is an international competition for research students to showcase their research. Students share what their research is and why it is important in plain language for three minutes, with only a single PowerPoint slide.

Our twelve finalists from accross the ANU are:

Tina Gregor, College of Asia and the Pacific, "Capturing Language"

Christiana McDonald-Spicer, College of Science, "Refugia: Islands in the Landscape"

Peter Anderson, College of Engineering and Computer Science, "The Language of Sight"
