Registration opens today—Monday, February 24—for the Three Minute Thesis competition, which challenges UWindsor graduate students to offer a presentation on their thesis or dissertation topic to a non-specialist audience in just three minutes.

Organizers call the Three Minute Thesis competition a unique opportunity to promote the innovative research undertaken by graduate students at the University of Windsor. The heats and the final are open to the public; audience members will select a People’s Choice award winner in the final.

The top two finishers in each heat March 24, 25 and 26 will compete in the final round March 31. The winner and runner-up will go on to represent the University of Windsor at the provincial competition, to be held at McMaster University on April 24.

Presentation spots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Find details, including competition rules and online registration, on the Faculty of Graduate Studies website.
