Vector Boson Scattering (VBS) offers a unique window into the electroweak sector and the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. This seminar presents an overview of the historical development of VBS studies, from theoretical foundations to early experimental efforts at the LHC. It highlights recent results from the CMS and ATLAS experiments, including measurements in key channels such as same-sign WW, opposite-sign WW, WZ, and ZZ, as well as searches for physics beyond the standard model in terms of new heavy resonances and effective field theory techniques. The seminar concludes with a look ahead to Run 3 and the High-Luminosity LHC, where enhanced sensitivity and upgraded detectors will further advance the search for new physics through VBS.
