The future of GRB investigation from ground and space.
I will describe the prospects for future investigations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the 'electromagnetic' domain, by giving a brief overview of some near future facilities. I will discuss in some detail one of the most (if not the most) exciting perspective in the field, the use of GRBs as cosmological beacons.
