\section{Introduction}
An exposé is a document in which you narrow down the scientific framework of your dissertation at an early stage and develop a realistic work plan. Since both the framework conditions and your own research can only be planned to a limited extent in scientific operations, the exposé will have to be modified regularly in the further course. Ideally, the exposé already provides the basis for the dissertation.
The length of the synopsis should be around 8-10 pages (12-point font; Arial; one and a half lines; plus images).
Structure of the exposé
\begin{enumerate}
\item Introduction / Topic of the dissertation project
\item Question
\item Objective
\item Research status (State of science and technology)
\item Procedure and method (own attempts)
\item Work and schedule
\item Bibliography
\item Appendix (if applicable)
\end{enumerate}
This structure is only intended as a suggestion and recommendation.
In the letterhead from page 2 onward, please add Exposé of Max Mustermann und Chair of XXX.
