 To kick things off, Julia presented her vision of what P2F is for: *not* the study of the past, but rather the use of the past to improve/​constrain/​validate future predictions/​projections. There was some debate over the name, particularly a possible clash with the existing EU project "​Past4Future"​ <​http://​www.past4future.eu/>​. However "The Past4Future project investigates the climate and environment of past warm periods"​ and will end in 2014. P2F has a broader remit in terms of periods considered, and an explicitly future-oriented focus. To kick things off, Julia presented her vision of what P2F is for: *not* the study of the past, but rather the use of the past to improve/​constrain/​validate future predictions/​projections.
