On August 14, 2026, Sogang University in Seoul held the final round of the SG 3MT Competition, a research communication competition for graduate students. The Graduate School Innovation Strategy Team organized the event to showcase the impressive research accomplishments of university researchers and enhance their global communication skills.
The competition also aimed to support students' involvement in inter-university programs under the fourth phase of the government-led Brain Korea 21 initiative, and to encourage their participation in international competitions.
The SG 3MT, which stands for Sogang University Three Minute Thesis, is a research presentation competition held at universities worldwide, including Ivy League institutions such as Yale University and Stanford University. Under the same rules as other 3MT competitions, participants were tasked with presenting their thesis research in a concise, three-minute format that could be grasped by a non-expert audience. Each presenter used only one static slide, devoid of animations, to support their explanation.
The SG 3MT Competition followed the identical structure of other 3MT events, with participants delivering their presentations in English, the universal language of academia.
