3 MHT THESIS COMPETITION, AN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE RECENTLY COMPLETED THEIR PH.D TO PRESENT THEIR THESIS IN 3 MINUTES AT THE IHC2022 PLENARIES!
May 15, 2022 Deadline for applicants – Hort theses competition 3MHT
The Education Committee of IHC2022 is pleased to launch an international competition for PhD theses in Horticulture, in the form of "My thesis in 3 minutes" competition. This new competition, named 3MHT, is conceived as a specific event, designed for this congress. It is distinct from the existing ISHS awards, more directly related to the symposia of the international congresses and often dedicated to young people in the course of their studies. The 3MHT is designed to showcase the work of young scientists who have recently defended an outstanding PhD in the field of horticulture, with a vote by the congress audience.
They provide for the participation of a maximum of two candidates (female and male) per country, with academic approval by the national institution responsible for Horticulture - ISHS Council member or not - to participate in the competition. The best accredited candidates, after a pre-selection step by an international jury (spring 2022), will compete orally during IHC 2022. The pre-selected participants will be awarded a free registration to the congress and the three winners according to the audience vote of the IHC 2022 plenaries will be granted by our sponsors.
We are pleased to present the 7 finalists of the 3MHT thesis competition :
- AMITRANO Chiara
- AYDÖNER ÇOBAN Gökce
- BARCANU TUDOR Elena
- GENTIL-SERGENT Céline
- MORENO de la FUENTE Ana
