For the third year, the Alma Mater participates in the "3MT – Three Minute Thesis Competition", an initiative launched by the Coimbra Group, an international network of which the University is a member.
The Competition proposes a challenge to PhD students: to explain their research in English to an ‘intelligent lay audience’, therefore to a target of non-experts. The students have 3 minutes of time and 1 static slide to be projected during their speech.
Among the applications prevented by January 9, 14 PhD students have been selected and invited to present their research at the 3MT – Three Minute Thesis Competition – Unibo Edition event on February 20. A jury and the audience in the hall will vote for the 3 best candidates, which will be awarded with a prize. The winner will also participate in the annual conference of the Coimbra Group to challenge live the colleagues from other European universities.
