Additive combinatorics is a relatively new field, with many diverse and exciting research programmes. In this talk I will discuss two of these programmes -- the continuing development of sum-product inequalities, and the unfolding progress on arithmetic progressions -- along with some new results proved by me and my collaborators. Hopefully I will have time to mention some nice research problems as well.
