Abstract: (Elsevier)

Ten years of operations of the Swift satellite have allowed us to collect a small sample of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) at redshift larger than 6. I will review here the present status of this research field and discuss the possible use of GRBs as a fundamental new tool to explore the early Universe, complementary to quasar and galaxy surveys.
