On 15th November 2023 IUA held the National ‘Three Minute Thesis’ Competition in the Royal Irish Academy, Dawson Street, Dublin 2.
8 winners of the individual university competitions were invited to compete in the IUA national final. An 80,000 word thesis would take 9 hours to present. Their time limit was 3 minutes!
Three Minute Thesis (originally developed by the University of Queensland) supports graduate research students in their development as confident research communicators. Participants are challenged to present their research in three minutes, using only one slide, to a non-specialist audience. In this competition entrants must distil their niche subjects and intensive research into bite-sized presentations that will inform and entertain the general public.
