Abstract
We review recent advances in superconformal field theories in 5 and 6 spacetime dimensions based on the instanton partition functions. After reviewing the basics of the instanton partition functions, we use them to study 5d SCFTs, and also 6d SCFTs compactified on a circle. Various non-perturbative aspects of these systms are discussed. We also discuss the related partition functions called superconformal indices.
