Event details

Be inspired and hear from ten talented University of York postgraduate researchers about their cutting-edge work. In a challenge against the clock, the competing York Three Minute Thesis finalists have just three minutes to outline the power of their research and explain how it will improve society and our lives.

The event is compered by James Coe, Senior Partner and Director at Counterculture Scotland. Join us at the live final, vote for your favourite and see who wins.

3MT®

3MT® competitions challenge participants to explain their research effectively and concisely to a non-specialist audience in three minutes, helping to develop their presentation and research communication skills. Communicating to different audiences helps demonstrate the contribution that research makes to wider society and the economy. The University of York 3MT® is a chance for our postgraduate researchers to engage and enthuse a range of learners about their work.
