Background
The first Pan-Eurasian Experiment (PEEX) meeting was organized on 2-4 October 2012 by the University of Helsinki (ATM) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute. The first PEEX meeting gathered nearly 100 participants from Europe, Russia and China. Based on the meeting presentations and working group discussions, the research needs and the most urgent research questions of the Pan-Eurasian region were listed, and the first outline of the PEEX science plan was drafted. The PEEX preparatory phase organization was also established. It was agreed that the preparatory phase committee members, which are also the promoter institutes of the PEEX initiative, are the University of Helsinki, the Finnish Meteorological Institute, the Institute of Geography, Moscow State University, AEROCOSMOS, and the Institute of Atmospheric Optics (Siberian branch) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
