This template uses the thema class, a sibling of the thesis class, both derived from the report class for a more European and flexible look. Thema adds facilities such as separately credited authors for each chapter. The eight-page test file has a dissertation title page with a placeholder author and university, and chapters set with the thema class. Replace the sample content with your own and compile to see the result.
