Doctoral candidates shine in Marrakech's «My Thesis in 180 Seconds» competition
On Tuesday in Marrakech, around 12 doctoral candidates competed in the final round of the 2025 edition of «My Thesis in 180 Seconds», organized by Cadi Ayyad University (UCA). These finalists were selected from about sixty doctoral students who initially expressed interest in the competition and received training focused on personal development, scientific rigor, and enhancing the value of their research. This support helped the young researchers strengthen their skills in synthesis, eloquence, and scientific communication. During the final, each participant delivered a three-minute presentation in French to a diverse audience, accompanied by a single slide. The challenge of the competition lies in presenting complex research clearly, concisely, and convincingly in simple terms. To help the candidates succeed, UCA's Doctoral Studies Center, along with several trainers, provided guidance throughout the process. At the conclusion of the competition, two candidates were chosen to represent Cadi Ayyad University at the national final later this month. The winner of the national final will qualify for the international final, scheduled for September 30th in Romania. Organized to popularize and promote scientific culture among the general public, the international Francophone competition «My Thesis in 180 Seconds» (MT180S) aims to strengthen young researchers' scientific and interpersonal communication skills. The contest is open to doctoral candidates from all disciplines who are currently enrolled or have defended their thesis during the academic year.
