Visualise Your Thesis

The Visualise Your Thesis competition celebrates research conducted by graduate research students around the world.
Developed by The University of Melbourne, graduate researchers are challenged to present their research in a 60 second, eye-catching digital display.
Submissions are judged on their visual impact and how well the content presents the research. Presenting in a digital format allows for different levels of creativity, multi-media, interactivity and interpretation, and is suitable for all disciplines.
