| Does Distance to Animals Change Their Appreciation? | Investigate whether physical distance to animals influences how people write about them by analyzing historical newspapers to find animals, measure their proximity to humans, and track changing sentiments over time - testing the theory that urbanization changed human-animal relationships. | Arjan van Dalfsen |
| Human-Environment Relations in Historical Periodicals (1890-1980) | Examine how relationships between humans, environments, technologies, nature, infrastructure, and landscape were depicted across different historical periods using digital methods to analyze international periodicals and early environmental movement journals from 1890-1980. | Birgit Schneider et al. |
| EcoCor: The New Generation | Further development of the EcoCor prototype and integration of MCP tools. // Sub-challenge (Thomas Haider et al.): annotating agency of non-human entities in EcoCor. | Peer Trilcke, Mareike Schumacher et al. |
| Early Modern Print and Its Environmental Conditions | Build a network of agents involved in publishing about weather and climate events in early modern Europe (16th-18th century) by clustering historical prints around specific events, places, and publishers as first steps toward understanding Little Ice Age traces in literature. | Joana van de Löcht et al. |
| The (Dis)temporality of Networks in Digital Environments | Investigate how AI and digital environments create an "extended contemporaneity" by mapping how temporal language has changed over the last decade, comparing AI-generated texts with traditional humanities writing to understand digital infrastructure's influence on how we experience and express time. | Charlotte Coch et al. |
