What is a Three-minute thesis you ask?

The three-minute thesis, or 3MT, is an international competition for doctoral students to present their research and its significance to a non-expert audience in just three minutes, using just one PowerPoint slide.

It is held annually at over 900 universities across 85 countries, including here at Charles Sturt.

In 2025 3MT is back once again with our heats held fully online as part of our DocFest program (May 26th -30th).

It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase your work, build your communication skills, and connect with a broader community. We’re now calling for entries—don’t miss your chance to share your research story. Submit your entry today and be part of this inspiring competition! Read more

Research and Write

Setting aside regular time to write or do your research work with others is a proven method to get results and meet your writing goals.  Sometimes it can be tricky to prioritise that time and joining a group where you write with others can really help.

Research & Write! sessions are blocks of time you can set aside for any task big or small to do with your research. Come for as long or as short a time as you can spare. We’d love to see you there.

 Two 3-hour sessions each week!
Research & Write! sessions are on:

  • Mondays 12:00 – 3:00 pm (AEST)
  • Fridays 9.30am -12.30pm (AEST)
