Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies hosted its annual 3MT/MT180 competition on March 15, 2017, showcasing the contributions and diversity of McGill graduate research. With only three minutes and a single slide, the presenters wowed the diverse and non-specialist audience with the complexity of their research and its impact on the community.
The presentations were recorded and streamed live online.
During the event, the judges represented McGill and selected two winners to represent McGill at the CAGS 3MT Eastern regional finals and concours ACFAS Ma Thèse en 180 secondes respectively.
