The 2026 Bosnia & Herzegovina 3MT competition provides High-School, Bachelor, Masters & Ph.D. students with the opportunity to develop their academic, presentation, research communication and community leadership skills by explaining their research to a non-specialist audience. In 2020, we successfully organised the inaugural competition in which Ph.D. students were the competitors. Following the success of the 2020 edition, we organised an equally successful competition for undergraduate/masters student researchers in the homeland but also abroad. The 3MT competition will be held virtually to allow anyone from anywhere to compete. Not only will students benefit from this experience, but their respective universities/faculties will have the opportunity to showcase their research and researchers throughout the Bosnia & Herzegovina network, as well as open doors to new collaborations and networks for both researchers and supervisors.
Students will have a maximum of three minutes to deliver a compelling presentation of one of the following:
-
Undergraduate, masters or Ph.D. dissertation (project) topic
-
Any other project/topic that was/is the part of their undergraduate/master dissertation
-
Any undergraduate or masters project (not just thesis) that has an element of research
-
A special high school project
3MT is not an exercise in trivializing or ‘dumbing-down’ research but forces students to consolidate their ideas and crystalize their research discoveries.
