Want to see University of Washington graduate students vie for cash prizes, by presenting their capstone or research projects in 3 minutes and using only 1 slide?! Join us for the 2026 UW Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition! The theme this year is Impact.
An esteemed panel of judges will select First Place and Runner Up winners and the in-person audience will vote for People’s Choice.
This free event is open to the UW community. Following the presentations, there will be a reception with free light foods and refreshments.
Prizes sponsored by The Graduate School:
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.
This event is a partnership between The Graduate School’s office of Graduate Student Affairs and UW Libraries Research Commons. Send questions to uw3mt@uw.edu.
Please note: 3MT is not a drop-in event for presenters. There is an event process. Graduate students who successfully compete during the online preliminary round will move forward and present during the competition on May 21. |
