DESCRIPTION:The standard model (SM) effective field theory (EFT) is a powe
 rful approach to SM deviations\, where predictions can be systematically i
 mproved in precision.  I will discuss some recent progresses and ongoing e
 fforts in developing the SM EFT to next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy\, 
 in particular in the top-quark sector. Based on the MadGraph5_aMC@NLO fram
 ework\, one can start from an EFT with top-quark operators\, and make NLO 
 predictions for various processes\, for cross sections as well as distribu
 tions\, in a fully automatic way.  Furthermore\, NLO results matched to th
 e parton shower simulation are available\, allowing for event generation t
 o be directly employed in an experimental analyses. These works provide a 
 solid basis for the interpretation of current and future measurements in t
 he EFT framework\, with improved accuracy and precision. I will also show 
 an example\, where the EFT is used in a top-down way to improve the predic
 tion of a concrete model.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2789/
