Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition where research students have just three minutes to present their thesis and its significance in an inspiring and captivating way.
This year's competition was by video submission, screening finalists' videos live at the finals event, both face to face and livestreamed. Attendees could watch the 2024 AUT 3MT Competition finalists' videos, cast their audience vote and hear the judges' decisions. Those attending in person also had the opportunity to network over nibbles and non-alcoholic drinks.
This event was aimed at AUT staff and research students. The event was also livestreamed.
