Abstract

Understanding the production of ionising photons in galaxies, how these photons propagate, ionise and heat the interstellar medium and possibly leak out of their host galaxies is key to understand many aspects of galaxy evolution and their contribution to reionisation. I will outline some projects currently undertaken to investigate the ionising photon budget.
