The Guiana regional final of the My Thesis in 180 Seconds competition will take place on Friday 18 March 2022 at 2.30pm at ENCRE.
Q ur candidates will take to the stage in the Edmond Antoine-Edouard auditorium at ENCRE. Their challenge is to present their research work in front of a panel of judges and a diverse, lay audience. They have 3 minutes, and not one minute more, to present their thesis topic as clearly and concisely as possible. To help them do this, they will be shown a slide and use their public speaking skills. Will they be able to convince you?
