3MT 2021 Announcement

It's finally here.

The biggest GSA event of the year.

It's time for 3MT!


Thank you to everyone for your patience as we finalized all the details for this year's event. Here's what you need to know:

WHO? Any graduate student with a research project, no matter the stage of your research. Even if you're just starting out, we'd love to have you compete!

WHAT? The 3MT competition is held in universities around the world. Participants are challenged with the task of condensing their research into a three-minute speech. For those who have never participated in a 3MT before, it’s a great opportunity to come up with an “elevator pitch” on your research. For information click here…

WHEN/WHERE? The deadline the participate in the heats is Tuesday, February 23 at 8:00 AM. You need to both register and submit a video to benjamin.freitag@uregina.ca prior to Feb 23. We recommend sending them via Filr (link is provided below) as most videos are too large for email.

Judging for the heats will not be live and will be conducted after the 23rd by the staff of the U of R. Winners from each heat will be invited to compete in the finals, which are open to the public; so, come learn about all the incredible research being conducted by your fellow U of R graduate students! Please note - this year's finals will not be televised on Access Communications but will stream live on URGSA Facebook page.
