"My three-minute PhD thesis" is a popular science competition open to all PhD students from the 12 UNITA member universities. Participants have to present their research effectively to a non-specialist audience.
Following a successful first edition, the competition is back again this year. The competition is organised in two stages: firstly, each university organised its own local selection. In the second stage, the 18 doctoral students selected will take part in the international final organised live at UPPA on 4 July, starting at 2pm.
The doctoral students will have 3 minutes to give a convincing presentation on their thesis and its importance, in a clear and concise manner.
