Classification of spherical varieties
Les cours du CIRM, Tome 1 (2010) no. 1, pp. 99-111.

We give a short introduction to the problem of classification of spherical varieties, by presenting the Luna conjecture about the classification of wonderful varieties and illustrating some of the related currently known results.
