Description

In this contribution, I will attempt to review some recent progress in DFT and discuss open perspectives, albeit with a personal bias. A confrontation with ab initio methods will be carried out. Most of the physics cases will be examples from the structure of finite nuclei but the link with nuclear matter and astrophysical applications will be highlighted as well.
