SUMMARY:HYBRID: UCT Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition
DESCRIPTION:\n\n \n\nARE YOU THE NEXT 3MT UCT WINNER?\n\n \n\nIf you are a 
 Masters or PhD student with a research story to tell (i.e. you’re far 
 enough in your research journey to have results to share)\, consider 
 entering into the UCT Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Hybrid Competition\, to be 
 held on Tuesday\, the 30th of September 2025\, and stand in line to 
 potentially become a winner in either the Masters or PhD category.  
 Monetary prizes will be awarded for the best presentations in each 
 category.\n\n \n\nThe 3MT competition is an international concept and 
 organisation that challenges students to consolidate their ideas and 
 research findings\, so they can be presented concisely to a non-specialist 
 audience – i.e. in 3 minutes!  Battle it out against friends and 
 colleagues for prizes and bragging rights\, as you learn and demonstrate 
 the art of presenting your research in a compelling and clear way.\n\n 
 \n\nWinners in the PhD category will go on to participate in the hybrid 
 National 3MT Competition\, hosted by the University of the Free State\, on 
 Friday the 24th of October 2025.  The National competition prizes are as 
 follows:\n\n\n	First PhD prize: R18\,000\n	Second PhD prize: 
 R15\,000\n	Third PhD prize: R13\,000\n\n\n \n\nIn order to help competition 
 entrants in developing the art of presenting their work concisely and 
 succinctly and providing more information about the competition\, you may 
 join the hybrid Preparing for the Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition 
 workshop from 10h00 to 13h00 on the following dates.  The second workshop 
 is a repeat\, so you need only sign up for one session:\n\n \n\n\n	 
 Monday\, the 18th of August - Register HERE.\n	Wednesday\, the 3rd of 
 September - Register HERE.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo enter the UCT 3MT
