Abstract
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are not longer considered part of a small and exotic source population but are now widely accepted to play a significant role in the evolution of galaxies through cosmic time. However, even fifteen years after the realization of the close link between the super massive black hole mass and the properties of the hosting galaxy many details of the interconnection remain unresolved. Two complementary approaches are followed to deepen our understanding; detailed studies of individual nearby AGN provide detailed insight into the physics that trigger AGN activity and link it to the spatially resolved host properties, while the large samples of AGN collected from surveys access the population properties and their impact on the evolution of their hosts with redshift and environment. In my talk I will focus on results from recent and ongoing AGN surveys on few square degrees (e.g., COSMOS, Stripe82) and introduce the challenges that the next generation of wide-angle and all-sky sky AGN surveys (e.g., SRG/eROSITA, EUCLID, LSST, ASKAP/EMU) will encounter. Particular emphasize will be given to the technical challenges posed to the associated multi-wavelength identification and characterization programs.
