Three Minute Thesis

Three Minute Thesis Competition IGARSS 2022

3MT®, founded by the University of Queensland, is an academic competition that cultivates students’ presentation and research communication skills and challenges them to describe their research within three minutes to a non-specialist audience with one static slide.

Join us to cheer for the 10 finalists presenting their research live in only 3 minutes.

As a part of the audience, you can vote for your favorite finalist at the end of the session since we have a “People’s Choice Award” as well.

The following judging panelists will select the top 3 presentations based on the 3MT competition rules :

  • Dr. Keely Roth, Planet, USA
  • Dr. Avik Bhattacharya, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India
  • Dr. Ronny Hänsch, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Germany
  • Enjoy the competition!
