The Three Minute Thesis (3MTTM) Competition for IACM 2024

Abstract: The first IACM 3MTTM competition was proposed in 2021 and has been a successful session at IACM for the past three years. For the IACM 2024 conference, we propose holding the 3MTTM competition again. The competition celebrates conflict and negotiation research conducted by graduate students by giving much greater visibility to students’ dissertation or thesis work that relates to conflict and negotiation. Developed by the University of Queensland (UQ), the 3MTTM competition cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition challenges graduate students to effectively explain their research in three minutes, using language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. Suitable topics are within the interdisciplinary and broad domain of conflict management and negotiation. Our intention for this competition is to support a strong research culture for the next generation of scholars, increase visibility of student work, and build community within IACM.
