ESWW-11, Liege, Belgium, 21 November, 2014 Conclusions The progress in the modelling and understanding of the EP effects is evident: The set of parameterizations for the treatment of EP effects in differnt models is available; The magnitude of the EP influence is comparable with solar UV; First time ever EP are included in the forcing set of CCMI Challenges:  Parameterization for relativistic and middle energy electrons  Downward propagation of NOx from the lower thermosphere (HEPPA-2)  Climate response, understanding mechanisms behind top-down signal propagation  Projection of EP fluxes and spectrum behavior for future grand minimum of the solar activity
