Virtual Asia-Pacific 3MT Competition

The Asia-Pacific 3MT competition, developed by the University of Queensland, is open to Australian, New Zealand and a select number of Asian institutions. In 2014, the Australian 3MT competition was expanded to include New Zealand and the final was held at UWA. In 2015, UWA's Marcus Giacci, from the School of Animal Biology was selected as one of 10 finalists in a strong field of 50 competitors. In 2016, the competition was expanded even further to become the Asia Pacific 3MT. The rules, eligibility criteria, registration form and prize details for the Asia Pacific 3MT are available here

The Doctoral student (including thesis under examination) whose talk is judged to be the best will be UWA's entrant in the Asia-Pacific 3MT. A Masters student may win the UWA 3MT but is ineligible for the Asia-Pacific 3MT Competition.

Talks from previous 3MT Trans-Tasman competitors are available here.
