The VU heat involved 9 of our VU researchers delivering short, 5 minute presentations of a research project with the aid of 3 slides, in a similar but expanded fashion to the 3 minute thesis competition run nationally for PhD students.
There were 3 discipline groupings in which participants competed and the winners of each received $2,000 towards their research. The winners were:
Discipline Grouping 1: Science
The 3 winners will go on to compete alongside other internal heat winners from Edith Cowan University, the University of Ballarat and Australian Catholic University in the national competition in November.
Prizes of $5,000, $2,000 and $1,000 will be awarded to the first, second and third places of each discipline grouping in the national final and the overall winner will receive an additional $15,000!
We would like to thank those of you who came along and supported our researchers at the VU event, and congratulate our winners and wish them luck in the national finals. We’d also like to thank our judges, Professor Warren Payne, Professor Helen Borland, and Professor Tom Healy.
For further details, please contact Dr Melanie McGuire in VU's Office for Research.
