UM Regulation for publication of the thesis
Note: an update of this page will be published soon.
The UM Regulations on Doctoral Exams stipulate that every PhD candidate must send a digital copy of their PhD thesis to the University Library.
It also stipulates that your supervisor (first promoter) sends a written declaration the the University Library to indicate which parts of the thesis may be published online and which parts (or the full thesis) need to be placed under embargo (e.g. until publication of the articles). The UL will contact the supervisor at the end of the one-year embargo period, to verify if the embargo is no longer needed.
In all cases, the cover, abstracts, propositions and valorisation paragraph will be accessible worldwide, preferably from the day of the public defence onwards.
Please consult the instructions and send the thesis files and declaration
