DESCRIPTION:N=8 supergravity is currently at the center of many investigat
 ions because of its possible ultraviolet finiteness. I will present some n
 ew results on its spontaneously broken version. I will prove that all mode
 ls with N=0 Minkowski vacua are finite at 1-loop. I will also discuss a ne
 w mechanism to study the classical vacua\, show that there are many more d
 eformations than previously expected and that from a stringy perspective b
 roken N=8 supergravity exhibits a moduli space with some intriguing featur
 es.\n\n
