	abstract = {I will present an overview of recent results obtained on the collective motion of active or self-propelled particles, both polar and nematic. In particular, I will discuss the nature of the transition to orientational order in such systems, the properties of the ordered phase specific to the non-equilibrium nature of the problem, and candidates for continuous mesoscopic descriptions.},
