Abstract
The forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will revolutionize
galaxy evolution studies from the epoch of reionisation to the present
day. In particular, a new era will be open for mid-IR astronomy, as the
JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) will improve by an order of
magnitude the sensitivity and angular resolution that can currently be
achieved at these wavelengths (5-28 microns). In this talk, I will focus
on the new breadth of possibilities that JWST/MIRI will offer for AGN
identification and characterisation up to high redshifts, and the
implications for our understanding of the role of AGN within galaxy
evolution. I will also discuss the complementarity of other JWST
instruments in these AGN studies.
