Galaxies are fascinating systems in which stars form and evolve, and which are also subject to dramatic events such as collisions with other galaxies and powerful winds driven by supermassive Black Holes. This presentation will give an overview of our current understanding of the formation of galaxies and black holes, from the early Universe to the current epoch.
