What is the Three Minute Thesis competition?

The first 3MT was held at UQ in 2008 with 160 RHD students competing.
Which other Universities are taking part?
Since 2011 the popularity of the competition has increased and 3MT competitions are now held in at least 170 universities across more than 17 countries worldwide.
