2026 National 3MT Showcase

See Canada’s Best Graduate Research—In Just Three Minutes! Eight graduate researchers. Eight fascinating ideas. Just three minutes each to tell you why their research matters. Join us at the University of Regina for the 2026 National Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition, bringing together outstanding graduate student communicators from across Canada for one exciting evening of research, storytelling and discovery. The national stage will feature the top two finalists from each of Canada’s Western, Ontario and Eastern regional 3MT competitions, alongside the winner of the 2026 French-language Ma thèse en 180 secondes competition and the winner of the SSHRC Storytellers Competition. You’ll hear research from across disciplines and across the country—presented in a way everyone can understand. No jargon. No lengthy lectures. Just three minutes, one slide and one compelling story. And you get a say in who takes home the People’s Choice Award! Come discover what Canada’s emerging researchers are working on, cheer them on as they take the national stage, and cast your vote for your favourite presentation.
