Experience the future of research at Aarhus University’s 3MT Competition!
Be part of the audience at the 3MT Competition on 19 March 2025 in Stakladen for an exciting event where talented PhD students present their groundbreaking research — in just three minutes and with only one slide. 3MT is science communication at its best, making complex topics accessible and engaging for everyone. Witness inspiring presentations, discover cutting-edge ideas, and gain new insights into the research shaping our world.
Every year, Aarhus University invites its PhD students to participate in the 3 Minute Thesis competition (3MT). In 2025, the competition will be held in Stakladen at Aarhus University on 19 March.
In 3MT, PhD students present their research project in three minutes for an audience of non-specialists with only one static slide – and no other resources. To prepare the participating PhD students for this challenging exercise, the PhD students are taken through a communication workshop, feedback session and practice session before the competition.
A internal AU jury will announce the internal AU winner based on the judging criteria mentioned in the Coimbra Group Call below.
The video of the performance of the internal AU winner will be submitted to the international competition held by the Coimbra Group of more than 35 European universities. A Coimbra Group panel will then select the top three candidates, who will be invited to present at the Coimbra Group annual conference. In 2025, the 3MT international competition will be held on 12 June at the University of Bologna.
