Ma Thèse en 180 secondes

The call for the 2025 edition of “Ma thèse en 180 secondes” (MT180) is now open.

Organised by the Irish Universities Association (IUA), in partnership with Association of Franco-Irish Studies (AFIS) and the French Embassy in Ireland, this competition enables doctoral students to present their PhD thesis in French in under 3 minutes, to a general and non-specialist public.

The MT180 competition this year will take place on 30th May 2025, kindly hosted by the University of Galway. The event will take place in the middle of the day, so that travel to and from Galway is possible in the same day. Participating PhD students can be reimbursed for their journey to Galway.

The first prize winner of the competition will also have the opportunity to participate in MT180 international final, to be held in Bucharest (Romania), from October 1-3, 2025. Travel and accommodation expenses will be covered by the competition organizers.

The deadline to apply is 12 April 2025.
