Subcategory[edit]

I propose a new subcategory for the defenses of doctoral dissertation. This is the day when the dissertation is examined. The promotion is the later ceremony where the doctoral degree is conferred. Per W (talk) 12:16, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In Sweden, there are three ceremonies related to the doctoral degree:

  1. Spikning (litterally nailing), when the printed dissertation is nailed to a board at the university for everybody to read. Please have a look at sv:Spikning (akademisk). There are at least two images for this.
  2. Defense, when the opponent, the grading committee and everyone interested can ask questions about the dissertation. It is followed by a meeting where the grade is set. There are some photos in connection with the defense.
  3. Promotion, when the degree is conferred. Actually, it happens before as an administrative procedure, but the ceremony is still important. Most photos seem to be from this ceremony.

Thus there should be three subcategories. --Per W (talk) 17:11, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I created them now and the files should be reorganised. Per W (talk) 08:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
