The University of Crete, under the auspices of the Rector, George
Kontakis, Professor, organizes the “3 Minute Thesis” competition for 2023. The “3
Minute Thesis” is held from 209 in UoC with great success

The “3 Minute Thesis” competition was based in an idea developed by the
University of Queensland, Australia in 2008 and soon its popularity increased
with more than 900 universities across more than 85 countries worldwide to
organize the competition.

Students have to explain their research in three minutes, in a language
appropriate to a non-specialist audience. The competition supports the development
of their academic presentation and research communication skills, while it
promotes knowledge and transfer of ideas to the public.

The First Phase of Evaluation was held on Wednesday 7 of June where the
best 10 PhD thesis were chosen. The final phase of the competition will take
place on Tuesday 11 July 2023 at 18.30 at the Cultural Conference Centre of
Heraklion, open for the public.
