Hi, I have to write, over the next few days, an English summary of a technical topic. Is it in common to use the present simple for a summary?

Yes. In fact, summaries of fiction and non-fiction texts are generally written in the present simple.

Perhaps somebody here knows of a collection of tecnical summaries.

Only use question marks for questions.

What technical field do you mean? Can you be more specific?

You might try Googling for something in the field you're writing about.
