It is not necessary to obtain permission from the dean to include their name. By signing the “Data Protection” section on the Deposit License, you declare in advance that the relevant consents have been obtained. The form for granting rights (deposit license) can be found in advance in this PDF file or it will be sent to you automatically by email after you uploaded the dissertation.
