Suzanne Innes-Stubb, an expert in working life at Aalto University in Finland, has confirmed her absence from a meeting hosted by Melania Trump, the wife of former U.S. president Donald Trump, due to a scheduling conflict. According to the Finnish presidential office's communication director, Mari-Kaisa Brander, Innes-Stubb has prior work obligations that prevent her from attending the meeting, which is set to take place in March.

While the presidential office did not disclose specific details about Innes-Stubb's overlapping schedule, it has been confirmed that she will be engaged in teaching and other work-related duties at Aalto University during that time. The university has affirmed that there is indeed a teaching session scheduled that aligns with the time of Melania Trump's meeting.

This incident highlights the delicate balance that public figures must maintain between their professional commitments and high-profile events. Innes-Stubb's decision not to attend may raise questions regarding the nature of her responsibilities at Aalto University and her ongoing role as a representative in professional circles, especially in an international context.
