I will give a survey of some of the most important results  in 3-manifold topology since Perelman's proof of the Geometrization  Conjecture. Due to the recent results of Agol, Calegari-Gabai,  Kahn-Markovic and Wise we now have a much better understanding of  3-manifolds. Especially the new methods introduced by Wise hold the  promise to be very useful in the near future. If time permits, then I  will also talk about several applications to symplectic 4-manifolds  and minimal complexity of surfaces in 4-manifolds.
