2024

2024 is the sixth year for Visualise Your Thesis: graduate researchers who have won their institutions' programme move on to participate in the international programme with entrants from around the world.

Latest Programme Updates

Expressions of interest and registrations now open

We're excited to announce that EOIs and registrations for the 2024 programme are now open. Institutions can submit:

  • An Expression of Interest (EOI) in hosting a programme. Institutions who submit an EOI receive a copy of the programme kit with further information about how to run a local programme and participate in the international programme. Submit your EOI here. Submitting an EOI doesn't mean you host a local programme in 2024, but allows you to learn more about what's involved.
  • A formal registration to participate. Institutions who submit an EOI are confirming they are going to host a local programme provide a winning entry to the Visualise Your Thesis International programme, and agree to the legal terms and conditions of participating. Submit your registration here.

We recommend that institutions who have not hosted a programme before submit an EOI to get further information before they formally register.

The deadline to submit an EOI or registration is 4 June 2024.

What's in the programme kit?

All institutions who submit an EOI, or register for the programme, receive access to the programme kit. This includes:

  • The Administration Pack: what you need to know to coordinate a programme at your institution.
  • The Entrant Pack: a customisable set of resources to provide to graduate researchers submitting an entry to your local programme.
  • The VYT Australian or international licence: the legal terms of hosting a local programme, and participating in the international programme.
  • The Presentation template: for use by your graduate researchers when preparing their entry.

What's the timeline for hosting a programme?

There's more detail about this in the programme kit, and there's a timeline for the international programme listed on this page (scroll down!)

In summary, institutions have from March to August to host their local programme. The sooner institutions register to participate, the sooner they can launch their local programme.

What if I have more questions after I've submitted an EOI or registration?

Please email us with any questions via visualise-thesis@unimelb.edu.au.  

We hosted an information session on 22 March 2024 to go into more detail about Visualise Your Thesis and what's new in 2024. If you would like to access a copy of the recording, please email us.

I am a graduate researcher and would like to submit an entry for 2024. Do I submit an EOI or registration?

Expressions of Interest and registrations for the international programme are made by institutions who are wanting to host a programme for their graduate researchers for 2024. Graduate researchers wanting to submit an entry to Visualise Your Thesis should contact their institution to ask for further information about their programme.
