Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) have been invoked as a mechanism for both quenching and triggering star formation. Furthermore, the growth of the central black hole appears to be intrinsically linked to the growth of the host galaxy. As such, AGN are an important phase in galaxy evolution. With the advent of the next generation of multi-wavelength surveys, we aim to bring together theorists and observers from across the field to discuss the role of AGN in the life cycle of galaxies.

We particularly welcome abstract submissions on the triggering of AGN, the radio and quasar mode feedback processes that are the result of an AGN, the life cycle, theory, and simulation of radio-loud AGN including the environment in which they reside, and the wider role of environment in the AGN phenomenon.

Programme
The programme will comprise of three sessions, each containing a mixture of simulation, theory, and observational science. The sessions will be broadly broken down as follows:

• AGN triggering
• Feedback processes & outflows
• Environment and duty cycle

Invited speakers

• AGN triggering - Clive Tadhunter (University of Sheffield)
• AGN feedback - Francoise Combes (Observatoire de Paris)
• Radio galaxy environments - Manuela Magliocchetti (INAF-IAPS, Roma)
