What is ３MT?

This is an international competition in which participants give a three-minute presentation on their research in English, using only one slide. It started in 2008 at the University of Queensland (Australia), one of our partner universities, and has become a well-known and highly regarded competition with over 900 universities in 85 countries participating.
The 3MT aims to refine students’ academic research, presentation, and research communication skills. In addition, students are required to explain their research in a way that can be understood by non-specialist audience so that more people can learn about their research.

What is COIL? COIL stands for Collaborative Online International Learning.

This is an activity where people living in different countries learn collaboratively through online communication. A small group of about 4 people will have 6 sessions and will work communicating in a mixture of English and Japanese. Students at Kyushu University will use English as much as possible, and students at San Jose State University will use Japanese as much as possible. If communication gets difficult, you can switch to your preferred language.

It’s a good opportunity to learn about American society and the way American college students think. The more effort you put into it, the more COIL will be a satisfying experience.
