The maximal subgroups of the exceptional groups of Lie type
have been studied for many years, and have many applications, for
example in permutation group theory and in generation of finite
groups. In this talk I will survey what is currently known about the
maximal subgroups of exceptional groups, and our recent work on this
topic. We explore the connection with extending morphisms from finite
groups to algebraic groups.
