2024 Three Minute Thesis Competition launching soon!
|
The research communication highlight of the year is fast approaching. The Three Minute Thesis competition, also known as 3MT, challenges researchers to present an accessible and engaging version of their research in just three short minutes and supported by nothing more than a single PowerPoint slide. Culminating in the ANU Grand Final on July, this competition offers training in communication, fame, glory and big, big prizes! And ANU's winner goes on to compete in the Asia-Pacific Finals later in the year. Join us for the competition launch/information session to find out more.

The Thesis Proposal Review (TPR) - now called 'Confirmation' - is the first big, high- stakes milestone in your PhD journey. The TPR should set out a clear research problem, situate your research proposal in the literature and tell the audience how you plan to carry out the research.
This boot camp will give you time and structured support to complete this document to a high standard and plan your oral presentation. The EOI closes on Wed 24 April 2024.

Ethics Application Boot Camp
|
Will your research involve work with Humans (e.g., observations, surveys, interviews or focus groups)? With Data from social media, databases, spreadsheets or access to documents? Will you be accessing organs, tissues, or cell lines?
If so, come and learn how to write a quality ethics application by applying the principles of the National Statement to your research project. In these sessions you will consider your project from the perspective of your participants to help you prepare an application that considers risk, recruitment, cultural considerations, consent, remuneration, privacy and data management, as well as the systems, workflows and processes associated with Ethics at ANU. You will leave equipped with resources to help you collaborate on research ethics with your supervisor, students, or colleagues, and know who to contact when you need help.
This bootcamp will be run over 3 Fridays (via Zoom): May 17, 24 & 31.
Expression of interest closes at 9am on Fri 10 May 2024. You will be notified if you have a place on Monday 13 May.
