Three Minute Thesis
|
These days research and research communication go hand in hand – any researcher wanting to get on in the world needs to be able to talk about their research to any audience in any context and for any length of time. Which is where the Three Minute Thesis competition comes in. If you can give a dynamic, entertaining and accessible presentation about your work within three short minutes and supported by a single PowerPoint slide, then, if the conditions are right, any grant, job or scholarships can be yours. ANU’s competition for 2023 has just begun so head over to here and join us for what could be the most important thing you do during your PhD candidature.

Writing Bonanza!
|
Do you need to write about your research? Do supervisors keep suggesting changes? Research writing has different challenges from other kinds of writing: the concepts are very complex, the amount of information is vast, and the stakes are high. In these 2-hour workshops, we show you how to do this through implementing practical strategies that are efficient and effective, resulting in writing of the highest quality.

Examination and iThenticate
|
ANU has now made iThenticate available to HDRs. This text-matching software is like Turnitin, but specifically designed for researchers – it doesn’t save your material, and it can handle much bigger files. From July, HDRs will be required to include an iThenticate similarity report alongside their thesis when submitting for examination. For more information, check out the iThenticate for HDR candidates webpage.
Further training on how to use iThenticate during your candidature will be scheduled from July. Meantime, come along to this workshop on examination to learn more about how it all fits into the overall process of what examiners are looking for.
