  • Main slides (4 – 5): Present the results of your Master thesis or annual project, repectively. Briefly explain the issue, your role, what you specifically did on the topic, without technical details. Just summarize results, what it meant to do…
  • Last slide: 1. Title of PhD theme; 2. Short list of your published papers or finished MSc thesis, attended schools or conferences; 3. Under which topic/grant the PhD thesis will be developed at the Institute of Physics (fill with the supervisor)

There is no need to read the Last slide, it will stay on the shared screen and the committee can immediately start discussion. Please focus on the main slides.
