About AYSA 3MT
AYSA (Asia-Pacific Young Scientists Association) Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Participants have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience.This year, AYSA proposes that partner universities can first host the competition within their universities, and select top presenters before the final competition hosted by AYSA.
AYSA is originated by AP-FECM and UBC Forestry with the idea of accelerating scientific progress in forestry that requires focused training and the development of the best young minds. More information was provided in the link here. https://apfecm.forestry.ubc.ca/aysa/
