Dear DRUID Conference Organizing Committee, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Yuho Sasamori, and I am writing to inquire about the eligibility criteria for participating in the upcoming DRUID Conference. Now I work for Nomura Research Institute, a private consulting and think tank company in Tokyo, mainly working on innovation policy and startup support in Japan. Although I am not currently holding an academic position, I am still keenly interested in attending the conference and participating in its discussions. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly clarify whether individuals not currently affiliated with academic institutions are eligible to attend the conference. Please let me know if there are any additional requirements or criteria that I should be aware of. I look forward to your response and hope to have the opportunity to attend this esteemed conference. Also, I would like to inquire if it is possible to know in advance about the submitted papers or the list of participants after registering for the conference. Thank you for your time and consideration.
