In June 2023 the Norwegian Space Agency, jointly with the International Astronautical Federation – IAF, organized the Global Space Conference on Climate Change – GLOC2023 in Oslo. NOSA´s ambition was to secure professional communication during both planning and execution of the conference. Having met Ru at a previous IAF conference, I opted to engage her as a key advisor
and communicator during the event, including responsibility for opening statements and moderating of panel discussions.
Ru was an outstanding moderator, combining professionalism with a calm, authoritative on-stage presence. She guided the discussion with clarity and confidence, asked incisive questions, and ensured that all speakers were able to contribute meaningfully. Her
preparation was evident throughout, and she struck an excellent balance between keeping the conversation focused and allowing space for engaging, spontaneous exchange. Ru’s professionalism and warmth helped create a dynamic and insightful discussion. She was a real pleasure to work with. The GLOC2023 was a great success and is still referred to as being both innovative and forward looking, not the least with regard to the communications element. Ru has my highest regards with her professional approach to the assignment. I am most happy give her my highest recommendations.
