Summary

The LISA mission is ESA's space Gravitational Wave mission, sensitive to frequencies between 0.1 and 100 mHz. In this frequency range many types of sources are expected, some in large numbers. They range from stellar mass binaries in our Milky Way and beyond to super-massive black hole mergers throughout the Universe, from extreme mass-ratio inspirals to stochastic backgrounds. We will summarise the LISA science and the involvement of the Netherlands in instrumentation and science to make clear how people can become involved.
