Description
Our understanding of high-energy emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts has greatly advanced with observations from the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. I will review the Fermi observations and explain why they give hope to the very high-energy communities in their quest for Gamma-Ray Burst detections with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) and Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) experiments. I will also discuss the importance of these very high-energy observations both in astrophysics and in areas of fundamental physics.
