Description
The last decade has seen tremendous developments in gamma-ray astronomy
with the extragalactic sky becoming highly populated by AGN.
I will highlight some of the progress in AGN research achieved over the
years, and then discuss exemplary advances in the theory of gamma-ray
loud AGN, including black-hole magnetospheric processes, the physics of
pc-scales jets, as well as particle acceleration and high-energy emission
in the large-scale jets of AGN.
