In the recent years important discoveries in the field of low energy neutrino physics (E ν in the ≈ MeV range) have been achieved. Results of the solar neutrino experiment SNO show clearly flavor transitions from ν e to ν μ,τ . In addition, the long standing solar neutrino problem is basically solved. With KamLAND, an experiment measuring neutrinos emitted from nuclear reactors at large distances, evidence for neutrino oscillations has been found. The values for the oscillation parameters, amplitude and phase, have been restricted. In this paper the potential of future projects in low energy neutrino physics is discussed. This encompasses future solar and reactor experiments as well as the direct search for neutrino masses. Finally the potential of a large liquid scintillator detector in an underground laboratory for supernova neutrino detection, solar neutrino detection, and the search for proton decay p→K + ν is discussed.
