The elements with atomic numbers 89-103 form the actinide series – central to the LISA innovative training network. In this lecture I will discuss basics aspects of the actinides, using their discoveries as the basic theme for introducing each of these elements individually. I will also discuss their current availability, as well as their production in research reactors, at accelerators and in cosmological processes.
