Humanistic scholars who usually work in silos might find interesting and challenging a new and wide-ranging collaborative research program, DEHI/Danube Environmental History Initiative.   Transnational in design, and drawing together research teams from across Europe, the project seeks to analyze the environmental history of a large and complex social and natural system.  The associated research team has already collaborated to design the research plan, generate funding from EU sources and begun to publish early results.  It will be interesting to see how the project develops.
