The Farrell-Jones Conjecture predicts a homological formula for K-and L-theory of group rings. Through surgery theory it is important for the classification of manifolds and in particular the Borel conjecture. In this talk I will give an introduction to this conjecture and give an overview about positive results and open questions.
