Description
I will discuss the relationship between radio-loud AGN activity and star formation, based on recent large-scale studies of star-formation activity in radio galaxy together with detailed studies of individual systems carried out over many years. It is clear that radio jets can have a dramatic impact on all phases of gas in the central regions of the host galaxy, but the detailed relationship between AGN triggering, jet activity and star formation still remains to be fully understood, and may be different for different AGN types: I will discuss the implications of recent Herschel results for this problem.
