EUGLOH 3-minute PhD Pitch

This activity provides students with the chance to enhance their public communication and engagement skills, helping them develop transferable skills essential in both academic and non-academic settings. These skills include creative thinking, public speaking, and articulating complex ideas in a clear and understandable way. It also serves as an opportunity for Ph.D. candidates to connect, build relationships, and discuss their research. This activity will contribute to diversifying the campus life offered for Ph.D. students, while promoting their academic and sociocultural integration and disseminating partner universities, as a mobility destination.
