In this survey, we provide a concise introduction to convex billiards and describe some recent results, obtained by the authors and collaborators, on the classification of integrable billiards, namely the so-called Birkhoff conjecture.This article is part of the theme issue 'Finite dimensional integrable systems: new trends and methods'.
