It’s all over in just 3 minutes! But what impressive 3 minutes they are! Last week a record number of our HDR candidates took on the challenge of presenting their doctoral research to a non-expert audience in our annual 3-minute Thesis competition heats. 20 presenters from across the spectrum of our disciplines shared their passion and the significance of their research with audiences and the judging panels whose difficult task it was to select just 8 finalists. The finals will be held with a live audience in Wagga Wagga on 13th August.
Thank you to everyone who presented for the time and commitment you put into your presentations and thank you to our judges.
