In this talk we will present Steiner and Schwarzenberger bundles on the Grassmannians and show the theory that relates them. In the first part we will define the two families of bundles mentioned before and study their properties. We will introduce then the concept of jumping pair for a Steiner bundle and we will study the dimension of the jumping locus of the bundle. Finally, we will give a complete classification of Steiner bundles on the Grassmannian whose jumping locus has maximal dimension and will describe them as Schwarzenberger bundles.
