At UNG, the Research Pitch competition is open to both graduate and undergraduate students from all disciplines and all campuses. Students interested in participating in the Research Pitch competition should submit an abstract of no more than 250 words to curca@ung.edu. Deadline to be announced soon.

Where Will the Competition Take Place?

We invite the university community to come take part!

Are you up to the challenge?

Present an overview of my research in three minutes with only one static slide – no problem!

 Guidelines

  • Students presenting in the Research Pitch competition will have three minutes to give a clear overview of their research.
  • Students may utilize one static PowerPoint slide (no sound, animations, etc).
  • The judges will evaluate presentations based on content, delivery, and audience engagement. Stronger presentations will help the audience understand the topic of your research.

Tips

  • Craft your pitch to an interdisciplinary audience – remember, most of the judges will be from fields outside of yours.
  • Focus on conveying not only what your research is, but how you conducted it and why it is significant.
  • Make sure to practice in advance and keep to the time.
  • Find inspiration by watching some of the PhD 3MT© presentations.

UNG follows Section 508 Standards and WCAG 2.0 for web accessibility. If you require the content on this web page in another format, please contact the ADA Coordinator.
