For one week every year, researchers, staff and students from across ECU come together with the aim of sharing knowledge, ideas and inspiration as part of Research Week. Research Week has been in the university’s events calendar for the past four years and has made a significant contribution to promoting research culture to our undergraduate, honours and postgraduate students, staff and international prospective candidates, and raising the awareness of ECU’s research profile.
Check out our Research Week 2012 recordings, image gallery, feedback infographic, 3MT 2012 finalist videos and Research Online publications to learn about the incredible research going on at ECU.

Research Week events
Your research in a nutshell
As part of Research Week, ECU is running a competition for “early-career” researchers, broadly within five years of award of their degree. The researchers will communicate their research, “in a nutshell” similar to the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition. Each presentation is strictly limited to five minutes with the use of three Powerpoint slides. Come along and hear how our research will make a difference.
Three Minute Thesis (3MT™)
Three Minute Thesis (3MT™) is a research communication competition where Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Candidates have three minutes to explain their research and its significance. 3MT provides a unique opportunity to profile and celebrate the innovative research conducted by research candidates at ECU and from around the world.
Visualising Research at ECU
Look out for Visualising Research displays during Research Week. Postgraduate Design students in the School of Communications and Arts collaborate with researchers at ECU to develop visual interpretations for research. The project's main goals provide insight into complex research by means of different visualisation methods.
Visualising Research allows designers to seek new and effective ways of displaying information that makes infographics, comics, maps, series of photographs or 3D models of data more comprehensible and attractive.
