CS Three-Minute Thesis (3MT)

Our Computer Science department is joining the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition for the *second* time in UBC history! 3MT, an international competition founded in Australia in 2008, gained early traction at UBC back in 2011, when UBC became the first North American institution to participate. This competition invites MSc and PhD students to present their thesis (or a thesis chapter, or a single paper) in just three minutes, with only one static slide. While 3MT presentations are brief, the goal is for graduate researchers to communicate their complex research in an engaging, accessible, and impactful way for a general audience. 

The competition is a championship with multiple rounds that winners advance through: first at the department level, then the UBC-wide finals, followed by the regional province-wide competition, and finally the Canadian National 3MT Showcase, in November 2025.
