After the acceptance of the thesis, a scientific colloquium takes place before an examination board.  

Please bear in mind that we work with a notice period/ invitation period of 10 days. 

In order to invite to the colloquium, we require the following information from you: 

• the appointment/ the date (agreed with us),
• the name of the chairperson,
• the name of the research assistant with a doctorate and
• the room in which the colloquium is to take place.

The examination board must include at least two professors from our faculty.

It shall consist of

1. the chairperson                                                                                                                a professor of the faculty 8 (or co-opted member) who may not be reporter
2. the two reporters                                                                                                   authorised in accordance with section 7, para. 1 of the doctorate regulations
3. a research assistant with a doctorate from faculty 8 or a junior research group leader from the Centre for Human and Molecular Biology (ZHMB) or a research assistant with a doctorate from cooperating research institutes (on request)

The research assistant should not be of the same institute as the scientific supervisor of the thesis.

Furthermore, not more than one member of an institute should be member of the examination board.

With exeption of the second reporter (who can be external), all other members of the examination board must be members of our faculty, or co-opted members (list of co-opted professors from faculty 8).

The examination board must in all cases include at least one member from faculty 8 (faculty council decision of May 05, 2003).

The junior research group leaders/ junior professors from the ZHMB are to be considered 'co-opted' in this context, and can therefore participate as a research assistant in the examination board (based on an application of Prof. Schmitt, which was accepted by the doctorate committee on June 9, 2004).

You can find examples of how an examination board might look here.
