Title: Measuring complexity of curves on surfaces.

It follows from a well-known theorem of Peter Scott that each immersed curve with minimal self-intersections on a surface S lifts as an embedded curve to some finite covering of S. In recent years, there have been some efforts to bound the minimum degree of these coverings. I will talk about some results obtained in this direction.
