A selection of issues and challenges when modelling pulsar wind nebulae

I will introduce in very general terms what a pulsar wind nebula is and some of the reasons why it is important to study them. I will then focus on some of my recent research in this topic. Special attention will be paid in the efforts for constructing generic models of the pulsar wind nebulae dynamics and radiation properties along their lifetime.
