N=8 supergravity is currently at the center of many investigations
because of its possible ultraviolet finiteness. I will present some new
results on its spontaneously broken version. I will prove that all
models with N=0 Minkowski vacua are finite at 1-loop. I will also
discuss a new mechanism to study the classical vacua, show that
there are many more deformations than previously expected and
that from a stringy perspective broken N=8 supergravity exhibits a
moduli space with some intriguing features.
