PhD skills training
The HIRAKU Three Minutes Competition is an exciting opportunity for doctoral students to effectively explain their research within a limited time-span of three minutes, using language that is accessible to a non-specialist audience. The Competition aims to the doctoral students’ presentation and research communication skills, while also fostering greater public understanding and appreciation of doctoral research and researchers.
The Competition is held as a part of the initiatives of the consortium program, “Home for Innovative Researchers and Academic Knowledge Users (HIRAKU)”, with the cooperation of national, public and private universities in Western Japan (mainly in the Chugoku/Shikoku regions), as well as various companies and public institutions.
This Competition has been held annually since 2015, with this year being the 11th edition of the Competition.
We are looking forward to your application ！
