Florida Atlantic's Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) Competition

Florida Atlantic Graduate College will host the University's 8th Annual Three Minute Thesis Competition (3MT®) live, in-person at the Boca Raton Campus Student Union this Spring 2024! The 3MT® competition challenges graduate students around the world to pitch their research in only 3 minutes to a live audience. Developed by the University of Queensland (UQ) in 2008, 3MT® competitions are now held in over 900 universities across more than 85 countries worldwide. At Florida Atlantic's annual competition, over $15,000 in scholarship prizes are awarded annually to winners from both the Preliminary Rounds and the Championship. Distinguished Florida Atlantic community members serve judges and a public vote determines the People's Choice winners. Florida Atlantic’s 3MT® Championship Award is generously sponsored through the Dr. Eric H. Shaw 3MT® Championship Award Endowment Fund. For sponsorship opportunities, please contact 3MT@fau.edu.
