My-thesis
Institutions and participants may wish to consider indexing publicly available 3MT and research-presentation videos on www.my-thesis.org. My-thesis is an independent, not-for-profit, searchable platform designed to support the discoverability of research talks by topic, institution, and keywords. Speakers retain full copyright of their work.
Institutions may choose to submit video links and speaker details directly to my-thesis, or alternatively invite participants to register and create their own academic profiles. This allows speakers to showcase additional presentations and materials, extending the reach and impact of their research beyond the competition.
My-thesis will index public 3MT and research-presentation videos at no cost, subject to institution and/or speaker permission for indexing, transcription, summarisation, tagging, and analytics.
For institutions that do not currently host videos, my-thesis.org advises that optional uploading support may also be available. Further information about institutional participation or optional editing and hosting services can be obtained directly from Professor Bruce Hood.
