The oral presentation is a special form of lecture which is characterised by the fact that it contains the factual communication of knowledge on a narrowly defined topic in a structured manner and according to certain formal rules. The subject of a presentation is either the summary of the current state of knowledge on a narrowly defined topic or the presentation of new, usually scientific findings on a narrowly defined research question.
