The Jagiellonian University has been participating in the Coimbra Group 3-Minute Thesis–JU® (3MT CG) competition since 2020. The competition involves a PhD student delivering a 3-minute presentation in English on his/her research project, and its main goal is to promote research and publicize scholarly achievements of young researchers.

The best presentation chosen by each university enters the qualifying rounds at the Coimbra Group level, and the three recordings that receive the highest scores from the international jury at this stage are qualified for the finals. The finals are organized in June 2025 at the University of Bologna. There are attractive prizes awaiting the winners at the university level as well as the finals (including research stays at one of the Coimbra Group universities, and in the finals – cash prizes of EUR 1,500-2,000).

Participating in the 3MT CG Competition is an excellent opportunity for young researchers to present their research to a wider audience, promote their findings and test their ability to talk about difficult and complicated scientific issues in a way that is understandable to non-specialists.

We kindly ask you to encourage your PhD students to take part in the competition. For those who register, training sessions and workshops will be organized to prepare them for participation in the competition (on a voluntary basis).
