ABSTRACT=We review current standard and non-standard neutrino physics probes that are based on nuclear 
measurements. We pay special attention on the discussion of prospects to extract new physics at 
prominent rare event measurements looking for neutrino-nucleus scattering, as the 
coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering that may involve lepton flavour violation (LFV) 
in neutral currents (NC). For the latter processes several 
appreciably sensitive experiments, like the COHERENT, MINER, CONUS, TEXONO, RED100 and others,
using promising target nuclei are in operation or have been planed to operate in the near
future. We also discuss comprehensively phenomenological and theoretical studies, in particular
those referred to the nuclear physics aspects and provide useful predictions for the relevant 
experiments. Furthermore, motivated by the recent discovery of CE$\nu$NS at the COHERENT experiment, 
we summarize the impact of non-standard interactions and novel vector $Z^\prime$ or scalar $\phi$ 
mediators to the CE$\nu$NS event rates and provides estimates for the corresponding current and
future sensitivities.
