This year 亚洲天堂鈥檚 top finalist (selected at the finals March 13th) will be invited to compete in the Western Regional Final to be held May 2, 2014 at the University of Calgary. The top finishers at the regional event will proceed to the first ever by the Canadian Association of Graduate Studies (CAGS).听 Videos of the nine finalists from the three regional competitions (Western, Eastern and Ontario) will be reviewed by a judging panel as well as being posted for public viewing and voting for a "People's Choice"award. National event winners will be announced June 12, 2014. Both master鈥檚 and doctoral level students are eligible.
亚洲天堂 was one of the first universities in North America to host a 3MT competition, when it held the inaugural 3MT @亚洲天堂 in 2011. Every year heats are held across campus beginning in February, with winners moving on to the 亚洲天堂-wide Semi-Finals and Finals in March.
The听Three Minute Thesis (3MT)听is an academic competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Participants have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience. Launched in 2008 at the University of Queensland, is now held at universities around the world.
Videos of the semi-final presentations will be available on-line next week.
