The winner of CG 3MT JU will represent the Jagiellonian University at the 3MT final, this year held in Turku, Finland. Three winners of the final will present their theses at the Coimbra Group General Assembly.
The Coimbra Group 3-Minute-Thesis (CG 3MT) competition is held at the Jagiellonian University for the fourth time. The participants are supposed to present their doctoral research in just 3 minutes, using only one slide. The contest is based on a concept developed by the University of Queensland, which quickly spread across Australia and New Zealand, and has since then gone global. It consists of two main stages, the first of which is held at the university level, followed by 3-Minute-Thesis European finals, organised by the Coimbra Group.
