Title: "Some recent results on massive gravity"

Abstract: The wish to build a consistent theory of massive gravity, with possible applications to cosmology is not new. However, a lot of progress have been made in that direction in the last 10 years culminating in the recent formulation of a theory that seems to be devoid of many pathologies once thought to be unavoidable. I will review those pathologies and their possible cures. I will insist in particular on some of my own works in these directions.
