Dear DRUID commitee, I am Nur Merve Kilickan, a doctoral candidate at the International Centre For Higher Education Research (INCHER) at the University of Kassel, Germany. I am interested in joining the DRUID23 Conference and would like to submit my paper (attached PDF, anonymized). Unfortunately, I cannot access the Conferences section on your website ( http://13.36.173.114/conferences/ ). The request to this IP times out and I cannot see this webpage or complete the regular application process. I have thus elected to e-mail you directly with my application, which I hope is acceptable. If not, I would be grateful if you could let me know if there is an alternative application method. Thank you very much and I hope you will consider my paper. Best regards, Nur Merve Kilickan Nur Merve Kilickan University of Kassel, INCHER-Kassel Mönchebergerstr. 17 D-34109 Kassel Tel: +49 561 804-7736 -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com
