HORTUS is the integrated digital collaboration environment developed in the ITSERR context for Religious Studies. It combines a moderated marketplace of research outputs, project pages, event and news publishing, expert discovery, social interaction, workspace storage, metadata management, and dissemination routes into one user-facing platform.

As a public-first environment, HORTUS lets you read a large amount of content before authentication. After sign-in, the platform adds personal tools such as notifications, messaging, favourites, workspace access, contribution flows, and role-dependent creation actions
