2022國立陽明交通大學三分鐘英語學術簡報競賽

【What’s 3MT? 源起】

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ). PhD students have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its significance. 3MT challenges students to consolidate their ideas and research discoveries so they can be presented concisely to a non-specialist audience.

Developed by The University of Queensland (UQ) in 2008, enthusiasm for the 3MT concept has developed rapidly and 3MT competitions are now held in over 900 universities and institutions across 85 countries worldwide.

三分鐘學術簡報（3MT®）原創於澳洲昆士蘭大學，此國際性學術簡報競賽至今已在全球超過八十五個國家、九百多所知名學府舉辦（如美國哈佛大學、英國牛津大學、日本東京大學等）。競賽中，研究生透過三分鐘學術簡報與不同研究領域的聽眾交流，強化學術溝通表達能力。

國立交通大學於2019年起獲授權辦理，併校之後由陽明交通大學語言教學與研究中心獲得再授權延續舉辦此競賽，邀請產界、學界之專家學者擔任決選評審，亦提供本校同學賽前培訓講座，以期研究生能將學術研究（硬實力）與語言溝通（軟實力）相互結合，提升國際競爭力。
