Abstract. Much progress has been made
in recent years in our understanding of the co-evolution of galaxies and
supermassive black holes, and their connection to the underlying large-scale
dark matter structure. In this talk I will discuss simulation and modelling
techniques that bridge theories of galaxy and black hole formation with the
properties of observed galaxy populations. In addition, I will discuss a
number of open questions important for extra-galactic astronomy and cosmology,
and explain how future large-scale surveys and galaxy formation models may
jointly address them.
