Winner of Three Minute Thesis Competition

PhD student Trang Thi Thu Nguyen (Centre for Global Food and Resources), from Vietnam, is the winner of the University's Three Minute Thesis competition with her study Understanding the behavioural and attitudinal determinants of household food waste. 

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia.

This research communication competition challenges Higher Degree by Research students to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its significance in just three minutes in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.

PhD candidates have just three minutes and one slide to effectively explain their research to a non-specialist audience. In the best interests of public health, the 2021 3MT Competition has moved to a virtual format, and competitors have submitted a pre-recorded video of their 3MT presentation.

The University of Adelaide 3MT Finals was held on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.
