You are very welcome to present one of the papers in a Special Paper Session -- but only one of them, since we have a rule-of-one (minimum one registered author per presented paper). Please let me know which one you wish to present.

I will send a similar note also in response to the other reject notice, just to stay within accountability practices. Best regards, Max From: DRUID23 <druid@druid.dk<mailto:druid@druid.dk>> Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2023 23:16 To: Max von Zedtwitz <max.egb@cbs.dk<mailto:max.egb@cbs.dk>> Subject: DRUID23: Decision regarding your paper DRUID23 NOVA School of Business and Economics June 10-June 12, 2023 Email: druid@druid.dk<mailto:druid@druid.dk> Website: druid.dk Dear Maximilian von Zedtwitz , Paper ID: 70317 , Paper title: " Global R&D Organization as a Dual Network: Evidence from Chinese AI firms " We have now reached a decision regarding the submissions to be presented during the upcoming DRUID23. The decision has been made according to the criteria stated in the call for papers, i.e. novelty, academic quality and the proposed paper's relation to industrial dynamics in general and to the themes of the conference in particular. All papers have been reviewed anonymously by at least three reviewers working independently of each other. Due to high interest in this year's conference, decision-making has been very difficult and our criteria have been applied very strictly. We regret to inform you that your paper has not been accepted for presentation at the conference. As stated in the call and during the submission process no review or comments will be offered to the author or authors to supplement the decision. However, you are encouraged to register for DRUID23 -- a rewarding experience both intellectually and socially. Please see the plenary conference program, available on the conference website. We acknowledge that many scholars interested in attending the conference can only get their participation funded if they present a paper during the conference. In order to faciliate this process we are considering launching two Special Paper Sessions on June 11 pending on sufficient interest. Novel ideas not yet recognized by established reviewers will get attention of the audience in such a session. The session will be organized in tracks and rooms allocated. Presenters will receive a certification of participation in the conference with the name of the author and paper title, much the same as all other presenters, but papers for a Special Paper Session will not be available on the conference website or in the formal conference program and no chair or discussant will be appointed by the conference organizers. If you wish us to consider organizing such an option, please a) register for the conference and pay the conference fee and b) return this email to us, stating "Special Paper Session" in the subject field of the mail. If you have sent this email to us we will notify you before May 20 if there has been shown sufficient interest to make us organize these Special Paper Sessions. A few practicalities regarding registration and participation to the conference: Registration can be accessed by clicking “Registration” on the right hand of the screen after logon.
