  In this contribution, we briefly present the equation-of-state modelling for
application to neutron stars and discuss current constraints coming from
nuclear physics theory and experiments. To assess the impact of model
uncertainties, we employ a nucleonic meta-modelling approach and perform a
Bayesian analysis to generate posterior distributions for the equation of state
with filters accounting for both our present low-density nuclear physics
knowledge and high-density neutron-star physics constraints. The global
structure of neutron stars thus predicted is discussed in connection with
recent astrophysical observations.
