MTT-S Multilingual Graduate Video Competition
What is MVC?
The multilingual graduate video competition is created by Education Committee of IEEE MTT-S in 2022, which has similar format with 3MT (English) in IMS. The competition supports their capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.
Goals for MVC:
- Encourage students to showcase their research in their native languages;
- Strengthen the impacts from MTT-S in different regions;
- Improve the visibility of the student competition events;
- Attract more students into microwave engineering in different regions
PLANs for 2023
Three competitions in three languages (Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Arabic, French, etc.)
Budget for each competition: up to $6,600
Important Date: 2024-12-31
