Premios de tesis de tres minutos
ProQuest es el patrocinador de los premios 3MT del Consejo de Escuelas de Posgrado (CGS) y ofrece a estos académicos reconocimiento y apoyo a medida que avanzan en sus carreras.
La competición Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) se originó en Queensland, Australia. La idea surgió en un momento en que el estado de Queensland estaba sufriendo una severa sequía. Para conservar el agua, se animó a los residentes a cronometrar sus duchas, y muchas personas tenían un temporizador de huevos de tres minutos fijado a la pared en su baño. El objetivo es cultivar las habilidades de comunicación de presentación e investigación del estudiante para que puedan explicar eficazmente su investigación en tres minutos. Más información.
