Dear Mark, Thanks for the quick reaction. Leonardo, my coauthor, just informed me that he will not be able to travel to Copenhagen. Sadly, we hence have to withdraw our paper from the program. I completely understand the formalities and the complexities involved in the organization of such a big event. In fact, I am very sorry I had to cancel my participation just a few weeks before the conference but I could not do otherwise. It would be great if you could provide me with some direction about how to ask the refund of the 50% of the conference fee. Thanks for you help and good luck with the conference. Best regards, Emilio ________________________________ Da: Mark Lorenzen <ml.si@cbs.dk> Inviato: mercoledì 1 giugno 2022 16:25 A: Raiteri, Emilio <e.raiteri@tue.nl>; druid@druid.dk <druid@druid.dk> Oggetto: Sv: cancellation and coauthor replacement Dear Emilio If Leonardo registers for the conference, the paper will stay on the program. He will need to register himself -- unfortunately, you cannot transfer your registration to him (it is not technically possible, and it would be your name and not his in the program, on the name tag, and for the tickets for social events. That would not work.). He will need to register IMMEDIATELY, as the program is finalized today. We can refund you 50% of the conference fee, as per the Terms and Conditions. I am sorry to stick to the formalities, but we are a non-profit organisation with a lot of technical and financial constraints!

I have asked my coauthor, Leonardo Giuffrida, if he could join instead. In case he could make it, would it be possible for him to take my place and keep the paper in the conference's program? I have also already paid the participation fee and I was wondering how such a replacement could be dealt with from that point of view. Thanks in advance for your help. Kind regards, Emilio Raiteri
