Abstract: Let $G$ be a compact, simply connected simple Lie group. We give a construction of an equivariant gerbe with connection on $G$, with equivariant 3-curvature representing a generator of $$. Technical tools developed in this context include a gluing construction for gerbes and a theory of equivariant bundle gerbes.
