Sogang University holds 3MT Competition final for graduate students

On August 14, Sogang University in Seoul concluded the final round of the 2026 SG 3MT Competition, a research communication event for graduate students. The Graduate School Innovation Strategy Team organized the competition to highlight the achievements of graduate students and enhance their global research presentation skills. The event aimed to support students in participating in inter-university programs under the fourth phase of the Brain Korea 21 (BK21) government initiative.

Furthermore, the competition sought to inspire students to engage in international competitions. SG 3MT, which stands for Sogang University Three Minute Thesis, is a research presentation competition held at universities worldwide, including Yale University and Stanford University. Participants must explain their thesis research in a three-minute presentation that is easily comprehensible to a non-specialist audience.

The SG 3MT Competition adhered to the same rules as its international counterparts, with participants delivering their presentations in English using a single static slide without any animations.
