First things first. The Chairman reads the rules regarding the defense

Then it is time to face the audience....

And give my presentation

After the presentation: the commitee is ready to start questioning the defendant.

Tough questions requires hard thinking

But luckily I have a commitee with a good sense of humour...

Nachspiel. After the questioning was over, all went to the reception and waited for the commitee to decide. Soon after Klaus Bruhn Jensen and the rest of the commitee arrived and he announced that I have been recommended for the degree of Ph.D. Here he hands over the final recommendation.
