That is unfortunate. DRUID, like other conferences, run on reciprocity: You get your paper discussed by others, you reciprocate by also discussing other papers. If nobody wanted to discuss, there would be no conference.

Simone is kind to offer, but the is not registered for the conference, so he cannot step in as a discussant. Please let me know if you have another solution, or whether we need to find a replacement at this late stage.

Emne: [Druid] Discussant role

Dear DRUID24 team,

I hope this email finds you well!

I am writing with regard to my discussant role in the parallel session Organizational behavior: Teams and diversity. Unfortunately, my schedule before the conference doesn't allow me to prepare the discussion for 3 papers. I apologise for inconvenience caused by this. However, I have a suggestion for a replacement: Simone Vannuccini, professor of Economics of AI and Innovation at University Cote d'Azur. He is my co-author, kindly indicated his availability to be a discussant, and located in Nice.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Ekaterina
