Checklist for the public examination

Print

The University Library and the editors of the university publication series will be happy to assist you in all matters relating to the publishing of your dissertation. In addition, the university’s Communications and Media Relations will assist you with drafting your press release and sending it out to various media. Indeed, the only things you actually have to take care of yourself are the arrangements for the public examination and the post-doctoral party, karonkka.

Things to take care of before the public examination

These deadlines are intended as a tool for the doctoral candidate to plan his/her more detailed timetable.

After the faculty has given you permission to defend the dissertation

  • Contact the responsible editor of the publication series in which your dissertation will be published.
  • Agree on the date for the public examination with the opponent, the custos and the main supervisor. Book the venue using an e-form: tilavaraus-Joensuu tai tilavaraus-Kuopio
  • Make sure the department/unit will take care of travel reservations of the opponent.

1-2 months before the public examination

  • Deliver the material to the responsible editor of the publication series.
  • Finalize your dissertation and make sure it is ready for publishing.

Ten days before the public examination
