On 23 May 2018 we are holding the 2018
Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition from 18.00 – 21.00 in the Clore
Lecture Theatre, an event which provides an opportunity to celebrate a diverse
range of work from PhD Researchers across the College,
and to invite you to come and support the Birkbeck PhD students taking
part as they each compete to communicate their thesis in just three minutes.
The Three Minute Thesis Competition is a global event and
the Birkbeck winner will have the opportunity to go through to the UK
semi-final.
This year we are combining the 3MT event with a poster
competition and prizes will be awarded for both competitions on the night: £500
for the best 3MT entry and £300 for the best poster. The winners will be chosen
by an expert panel of judges and the audience will also get a chance to have
their say by picking a people’s choice winner for the 3MT competition. A drinks
reception will be provided after the 3MT event and you will have a chance to
view the posters and meet with those who take part in the competitions.
How to attend
If you would like to attend this event on 23 May please register

Please note:
·
This event will be a great opportunity for prospective PhD students to
find out more about the successes of Birkbeck research students and to be
inspired to study for their own PhD - please do highlight the event to
prospective PhD student who you think would benefit from attending.
·
There are still opportunities for PhD students
to enter both competition: a 3rd 3MT training session will be held
on 10 May and PhD students are invited to submit entries to the
poster competition by the end of Friday this week, 11 May. Further details are
available on the event
page.
