2026 Graduate 3MT Competition

We invite you to join us for the 10th annual ISU Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) Competition and awards reception on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Founded by the University of Queensland in 2008, the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that cultivates students’ presentation and research communication skills. The competition challenges them to describe their research within three minutes to a general audience. The competition is a hybrid, online and in-person event, held at the L.E. & Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center in the Black Box Theatre in Pocatello, Idaho. If you can't make it in person, you can view the YouTube Live livestreams for both the competition and awards reception, which can be viewed on the Graduate School Website.
