We will then describe the present status on our&nbsp;knowledge of neutrino-nucleus interactions, the open questions and&nbsp;discuss some of the applications. In fact, neutrino-nucleus scattering&nbsp;at low energies is essential for a variety of timely applications,&nbsp;including key unknown neutrino properties, the detection of the diffuse&nbsp;supernova neutrino background, or furnishing a new constraint to&nbsp;double-beta decay calculations. We will particularly emphasize the need&nbsp;for neutrino-nucleus experiments at future facilities as well as other&nbsp;nuclear physics measurements, that are essential for the progress in these&nbsp;domains.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
