About 3MPlanet


In May 2021, the Centre for Energy Ethics invited all honours students at the University of St Andrews whose dissertation research explores topics related to energy, climate change and/or climate action, to its inaugural Three Minute Planet (3MPlanet) competition.

The students were asked to present a compelling spoken presentation on their research topic and its significance to climate action to a non-specialist audience, in just three minutes.

Their final competition entries are presented below.

Picking a Winner


The finalists, selected by the judging panel, received expert training in designing and delivering an engaging and convincing research presentation.

The winner and the runner up were be selected by the expert judging panel and the videos were available on social media for a period of public voting to decide a public vote candidate.

 

The judges included:

  • Dr Carlos Galan-Diaz (Deputy Director, Research & Innovation Services)
  • Lea Weimann (Environment Officer, Student Association and ESB advisor)
  • Francesca Fotheringham (Public Engagement Officer)
