The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition was organised for the first time in Luxemburg by the student’s association LuxDoc in order to promote various research topics to a general and non-scientific audience.

The participants filmed themselves explaining their research taking no more than 3 minutes of time and using only a single slide as a visual support. Sonia Sabaté Soler, PhD student in the Developmental and Cellular Biology group, presented her PhD thesis topic – “Using minibrains to study brain inflammation in Parkinson`s disease” – and was awarded 2nd place in the competition with her video.
