HIRAKU 3MT Competition 2023 – Respective Judging Panels

What’s the HIRAKU 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) Competition?

 As of November 8, 2023

The HIRAKU 3MT Competition is an exciting opportunity for doctorate students to effectively explain their research within a limited time-span of three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. The Competition aims to develop the doctorates’ presentation and research communication skills, while leading to broader society (as the audience) further enhancing their positive understanding of doctorate resources and researches.

The Competition is held as a part of the initiatives of the consortium program, “Home for Innovative Researchers and Academic Knowledge Users (HIRAKU)” , with the cooperation of national, public and private universities in Western Japan (mainly in the Chugoku/Shikoku regions), as well as various companies and public institutions.
This Competition has been held annually since 2015, with this year being the 9th edition of the Competition.

For the first time in four years, this year’s Competition will be conducted at Higashi Hiroshima Arts & Culture Hall "Kurara" (and also be simultaneously live streamed).

Members of the audience who pre-register for the event will have the opportunity to vote and decide the recipient of the People’s Choice Award for the both of the divisions. We are looking forward to your participation.
