Conclusions should be presented in a separate part of the dissertation. The dissertation also includes the curriculum vitae of the author and his/her list of scientific publications.

After the final preparation of the dissertation and its summary, the dissertation is defended in a public event (unless the thesis includes commercial confidentiality).
