The international research group on “Neogene climate evolution in Eurasia” came into existence in 2000. Its prophase work is mainly concentrated in Europe. This paper attempts to give a brief introduction on the NECLIME history, its major progress, the Nanjing NECLIME meeting, along with a short prospect, so that the related domestic scientists could learn more about this international research project, and benefit from its results by making more intensified exchange with the activities and members in the group.
