The Faculty Research Pitch Competition encourages faculty members to present their research in a clear and engaging manner to a non-specialist audience. In three minutes, participants must convey the impact, innovation and relevance of their research by addressing three key questions:
- What is the goal of the research study?
- What problem does the research aim to contribute toward understanding or solving?
- What area of knowledge does the study help us understand better?
Activity Objective(s)
The competition emphasizes effective communication of complex ideas in a concise and accessible format, showcasing the real-world significance of academic research without the use of presentation tools or reading from notes.
