Join UWinnipeg's premiere showcase of graduate student research and ingenuity! Developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia, the Three-Minute Thesis Competition challenges graduate students to distill their complex research into a clear, compelling presentation in just three minutes. Evaluated by a panel of non-specialist judges, students are allowed a single PowerPoint slide to enhance their presentation.

The semi-finals consist of two heats of eight students each, competing for a place in the March 19 final competition. A panel of judges will select which students from each heat move forward, either as an overall winner, or as a wild card. Overall winners are those deemed by the judges to gave given the best overall presentation based on the judging criteria. Wild cards are the students deemed to have given the most engaging presentation, regardless of their scores in the other criteria. 

AM Heat: 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
