IUGG – The People at the Forefront (XV) Mioara Mandea, President of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA), 2019-2023 At present, I am the Programme Manager for Solid Earth at the Directorate for Innovation, Applications, and Science of the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales – CNES, the French Space Agency – in Paris. [...] I should also mention my role of chair of the Education Award Committee of American Geophysical Union (2010-2012), Chair of the Science Committee – International Space Science Institute (2016-2019), and President of the Geophysical Maps Commission of the Commission for the Geological Map of the World since 2008. [...] I am also a Titular Member of the Academy of Romanian Scientists, a Member of the Academia Europaea, a Member of the Royale Académie de Belgique, and a member of the Russian Academy of Science. [...] Thanks to the National Committees, the Associations and Commissions for helping to update the information in the Yearbook! During 2021, updates on addresses and other information in the Yearbook should be sent to the IUGG Secretariat as soon as they are known. [...] The survey supports the unanimous view of the IACS Bureau that IUGG Assemblies should be further reduced in length, not only to enhance the experience for the participants through larger overlap of the scientific program but also to increase participation of National Delegates in IUGG Business Meetings.
