The conference "Group Decision and Negotiation," organized in a hybrid format by the University of Tokyo from June 11th to June 15th this year, allowed the entire GDN community to meet in person, traditionally within the university's walls, after a two-year break due to the COVID pandemics. A significant group of scientists and researchers from Poland, including members of the N.EA. team participated in the GDN conference. As part of the thematic stream "Preference modeling and decision support in GDN," which is organized every year by Prof. Danielle Moraise (Federal University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil) and Prof. Tomasz Wachowicz (University of Economics in Katowice), three presentations by team members were delivered:
- Tomasz Wachowicz, Ewa Roszkowska, Marzena Filipowicz-Chomko: Using unfolding analysis and MARS approach for generating a scoring system from a group preference information.
- Ewa Roszkowska, Tomasz Wachowicz, Marzena Filipowicz-Chomko: Identifying Decision-Making Style. Do REI-20 and GDMS Measure the Same?
- Tomasz Wachowicz, Marek Czekajski: A group decision-aiding protocol for selecting a post-industrial
cultural tourist product in Czeladź Commune in Poland.

Two years after its online publication, an interesting paper of the N.EA team is now published in the special issue of ITOR (International Transactions in Operational Research), entitled "Mind and Cognition in the Future of Decision Support Systems" and edited by José María Moreno-Jiménez and Luis G Vargas. The manuscript results from the previous research and studies conducted by the N.EA team with the late Gregory Kersten. It is devoted to analyzing the links between the motivational system of negotiators and its impact on how well and accurately they use the decision support tools in their prenegotiation activities related to scoring the negotiation template. The manuscript can be accessed freely under the following link:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/itor.12995.
