Target group and participation
The portal is open to scholarship holders and funded researchers of the Gerda Henkel Foundation as well as to anyone interested in topics from the field of historical humanities.

LISA includes topic dossiers, online lectures and expert chats, a platform for video contributions from everyday science, calls for specialist discussions and creates a public for book reviews, exhibition reviews and event reports. The portal also offers young researchers the opportunity to present their dissertation projects prominently, to exchange ideas with one another and to get involved in all categories. LISA also co-organizes scientific conferences, such as the .hist 2011 conference in Berlin.
