The competition was organised by HRD with the support of the HELENA Graduate School.

During the competition, HRD doctoral researchers presented their projects in just three minutes, using only a single static slide. Their talks were aimed at a non-expert audience, challenging them to explain their research in a clear, engaging, and accessible way.

A big thank you to all doctoral researchers who took part and presented their work. Their performances showcased not only scientific excellence but also the ability to make complex ideas understandable and engaging for a broad audience.

Many thanks as well to the VdFF – Association of Friends and Supporters of Helmholtz Munich for providing the snacks at the networking session.
