Hybrid public defences of doctoral theses

Price of a hybrid public defence

A hybrid public defence of a doctoral thesis costs SEK 33 000 – 40 000.

The price includes technicians on site, technology, rehearsals and test connections. The price does not include any rental costs for the venue. Please note that LU Conferences does not receive any OH funding for this activity and there is no profit margin built into the price.

Book in good time

Currently, if you need to arrange a digital public defence of a doctoral thesis or a digital meeting, you must plan ahead and order the event at least eight weeks in advance.

Remote audience

The audience can follow the public defence in real time, online. This enables relatives and friends to take part without physically attending the event.

Everything is saved

The public defence is recorded, saved and made available for download after the event.
