MA THÈSE EN 180 SECONDES : WESTERN FINAL

Are you a master's or doctoral student? The Ma thèse en 180 secondes (MT180) competition is a unique opportunity to perfect your communication skills while giving you the chance to share your research in the public space!

As part of the contest, each student must give a clear, concise, and convincing presentation of their research project in French, in three minutes, before a jury. MT180 is the French equivalent of the 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) which has been held for several years in Canadian universities and around the world.

Stay tuned! Details of the next western final of the Ma thèse en 180 secondes (MT180) competition will be shared in the fall.
