Hosted annually since 2017, the University of Washington’s Three Minute Thesis event is a professional development competition that celebrates the exciting capstone and research experiences of master’s and doctoral students. The competition supports graduate students’ capacity to effectively explain their research or capstone project in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a public audience. Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic research communication competition originally developed by the University of Queensland, Australia.
