Three-Minute Thesis Final and Adam Weiler Impact Panel
Think you could sum up your research in just three minutes? The Three Minute Thesis is a prestigious global competition that challenges PGRs to do exactly that.
Join us for the exciting live final, where top contenders from across the University will compete for a £500 prize and a coveted spot in the UK semi-finals. Be inspired by the diverse, cutting-edge research happening at Sussex, and cast your vote for the £250 People's Choice award!
In the judging break you'll hear from winners of the 2025 Adam Weiler Impact Award, which recognises Sussex PGRs who are making a lasting, positive impact with their research. We hear the ‘impact’ buzzword a lot, but what does it actually mean at the postgraduate level? Can PGRs really make an impact - and what can that look like?
This year’s awardees will discuss their research so far, where they hope to go next, and how postgraduate research can influence policy, theory and practice in academia and beyond.
We'll also be announcing the winners of the Emerging Researcher Image Competition, open to all PGRs and ECRs at Sussex. Shortlisted entries will be exhibited throughout the Summer of Research. You can browse the gallery and vote for People’s Choice online.
Please go ahead and register for your free ticket here.

This event is part of the Summer of Research 2025, a two-week festival of researcher-led talks, workshops and exhibitions celebrating our fantastic research here at the University of Sussex. Find out about and sign up for other exciting events here!
