What is the SGroup PhD Cup?

This initiative is designed to enhance PhD candidates’ communication skills through a competition based on the 3-Minute Thesis pitch model. Participants will benefit from a fully funded online training on rhetoric and research communication.

The PhD Cup consists of:

  • An online training phase, where PhD students will receive expert coaching in research communication;
  • A video submission round, where participants will compete by presenting their research concisely and the top 10 will be selected;
  • A live final in Szeged, Hungary, where the top five finalists will be funded by their own institution to present their pitch before the SGroup General Assembly;
  • The winner will receive a PhD Mobility Grant of up to €1,000 awarded by SGroup to support research abroad at an institution of their choice.

Congratulations to our PhD Students! Doctoral School wishes you luck in this project!
