My thesis in 180 seconds
Ma thèse en 180 secondes is an opportunity for doctoral students to present their research topic, in French and in simple terms, to a diverse audience. Each student must give a clear, concise yet convincing presentation of his or her research project in three minutes.
This competition is inspired by Three minute thesis (3MT®), developed at the University of Queensland in Australia.
The concept was taken up in Quebec in 2012 by the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas), which wanted to extend the project to all French-speaking countries.
