\textbf{Abstract:} An ongoing project with Adrian Wadsworth aims to give a new foundation
for the theory of valuations on division algebras on the basis of a more flexible
notion, which also applies to semisimple algebras. This lecture will give a survey
of this new approach and its applications to hermitian forms and algebras with
involution.\vspace{\fill}
