  This article summarises a talk given at the 2014 Palermo workshop on
Astrophysics. It covers a short review on the neutrino physics status and the
potential physics opportunities of future experiments. During the last year our
knowledge on the neutrino oscillation parameter $\sin^2\theta_{13}$ improved
dramatically, and the large value opened the way to oscillation experiments
sensitive to possible CP-violation. The first high-energetic neutrinos in the
TeV range were detected in the IceCube experiment, while the Planck
collaboration set further limits on the number of active neutrinos from
cosmological constraints. Over the next years the Katrin will investigate the
beta decay of Tritium to study the absolute neutrino mass scale, while new
experiments will investigate the potential sterile neutrino scenario which
could explain the event excess of the MiniBooNE and LSND experiment.
